We love having ducks on our flower farm, from eggs, slugs, bugs, and 💩 plus they add great entertainment.

they are such goobers...we love watching them. The ducks are a really valuable animal on our farm.

Ol Seth Rogen had a farm 🤠 But actually so informative. Definitely will remember this for the future. Thanks!

Wow Wonderful Gardening~ Thank you for good sharing. Like 316 My friend, have a good day

🌻🐝☀️🌺👨‍🌾 I love your garden!! It’s a great inspiration to me as I am also a gardener and KZread creator. You put a lot of work and love into growing your garden! All the hard work is worth it to me to get to see the new growth everyday it brings me so much joy! l’m just harvesting my first fruits and veggies. I still have so much to learn and I appreciate all of m your tips, tricks that you share! Please Keep sharing! I would love to learn more about gardening from each other.

I live about an hour from you and the heat and lack of water are the biggest challenges we have a well.

Aaron, your 'poop shoot' for the ducks is a great idea. Maybe you could make it a duck tractor by installing wheels on one end so it is easier to pick it up and move the cage along the former flower beds to a new area to be fertilized.

ducks 🦆🦆🦆 are awesome

Thanks a lot 😊, you guys are too kind. so far it is working out fantastic, the ducks are pooping machines, and we cover crop right after them. We are supposed to have better and better soil...right...all this hard work better pay off! 😂

Your poop shoot is a great idea. The ducks can demolish an area faster than I realized. 💞

Make a system where you open little gates/doors. To move them from place to place. The Labyrinth Duck Garden. Lol

yes! once they get bigger we will have to add a little choo choo train effect 😂

I think you made a good choice, it's a win win for everyone, great video 👍👍

Put up some owl decoys to help keep predators away. If you free range fowl, raise a little extra for the predators every year.

I love them I have some just about ready to go to the garden

yes, our other animals have guard geese...these little guys we arn't sure how to guard them at this point. keeping them caged has worked well so far.

Yep I live in California it’s been so hot here!

phew, looks like its gonna cool down in a week or so for us. This heat definitely makes it difficult to garden...but it's the only way we know how.

Great idea with usage of the ducks I don’t have ducks only chickens but do ducks scratch around like chickens do? Everytime I said to someone that I wanted ducks they said no you don’t they are so dirty & messy what’s your take on ducks? Hope this works for you with all the shortages out there flowers are looking amazing and so are the veggies👍

I have twelve. I lock them up at night and let them run in my orchard during the day. They do not scratch, but they will put small holes in the ground with their bills. And they are messy. Let them run somewhere that a mess doesn’t matter. They splash water everywhere and their poo is wet and sloppy. This is good stuff for my orchard, so I like their mess making tendencies.

ducks can be messy, but if you have space, or a way to contain the mess they are fantastic! I mean, dogs can be messy too, and cats...you just have to give the ducks the right environment.

rabbit droppings are also a great direct drop fertilizer. Absolutely love ducks! So adorable 😍

Looks interesting great job. Thanks folks always enjoy your family and videos. Chris from England.

Great Plan they are so pretty love you guys. Love the sunflowers.

Thanks so much!

Great job!!! I love the poop shoot!!! I have ducks. the ducks have a plastic kiddie pool. The larger of the kiddie pools. They swim in the pool and poop it up. I drop a sump pump connected to a hose and I water my whole garden with that water! Been doing it for 7 years. I wash all the veggies in water with vinegar. Never had any problems with getting sick. I dont water my greens with the duck water. Ive learned to use the duck water very sparingly on the tomatoes because you get all leaves and a billion tiny green tomatoes come frost time! I also temper my duck water use on my peppers...the duck water makes the peppers so hot, they are inedible....for me. I typically do the duck water every other watering. Using duck water on your flowers would be absolutely excellent!!! I can go on and on!!! Oh...I also have zero disease and no pests...except squash bugs at the end of the season! Its basically compost tea without the "brewing it" process! I have never bought any ammendments for my garden in all the years Ive been gardening. I have absolutely transformed my soil from high dessert sandy zero life, beige dirt to beautiful black soil crawling with worms. I also put cardboard in every square inch of my garden. The cardboard allows me to water only once a week in the HIGH DESSERT OF NEW MEXICO!!! Dropped my water bill by more than half!

Cute ducks, great idea..

I think it’s an awesome idea. I know they poop so much and my 2 geese like to lay on my driveway and I swear their poop stained my driveway, I even pressure washed it. Have a great weekend 😉

❤ I am new to your channel and I actually love growing microgreens so this is so exciting because I got my first baby ducks.

"I produce manure too" and then that face @ 6:40

Just install an electric fence & let them free range. You can always collect extra manure for a particular patch from their poop at night.

Would they greens be better with growing them in water, help on the clean up for eating,,,

I'm really interested in the microgreens. I know you have to seed pretty densely. Do you feel it's pretty cost effective way to grow greens?

@07negative56

You buy seed in bulk. Couple lbs at a time. But micro greens are way worth the effort

oh, the flavor is fantastic. WE all love them...and they are pretty easy to grow. Our setup costs a little bit...but like 07negative said...you buy in bulk and you have greens all year long.
