   dear patti/ thank you soooo much for the mail. i really don’t understand what do you mean by ‘heater base for my water though’. if you explain a little more about that, will be so helpful. another question is, i’m not handy, where can i purchase a portable chic coop? i’m so excited to have my own chicken now. thank you again.

   Gardengirl I been goin out and tryin to plant in my front yard but the damn birds keep eatin all my plants as soon as they pop up.
   I went to the home despot and got some mini plant and jammed a few watermelons, squash and other crap in the the front.

   I even called the junkyard to get one of mi cars out the front to get more land!!!!!!!

   Use bird netting and a frame.

   Check out Murray McMurray hatcheries, on line catalogue and there you can buy one. Do a google search for hatchery supplies. Best, Patti

   Hey Patti,

   Love your videos and this one especially.

   I couldn’t agree with you more reducing lawns and planting other types of plants and shrubs. That is what we did with our home and it looks great. It was a lot of work to transform it but it is such an incredibly relaxing yard to be in now.

   Keep up the great work.

   Cheers,
   Robin

   Raise your water collector off the ground as high as possible. This will let you harness gravity to create water pressure. Keep the spigot on the bottom of the collector.

   I agree, the higher the better for good gravity flow! I mostly use it for grass which is four feet lower than the area you see there.

    I have a large piece of property that i’ve been working on for about the past 10 years. it’s so much rewarding to have a beautiful garden instead of a field of grass.

    patti – how do you do with wintering over your chickens – any suggestions? i am also in the n.e. and had a great first summer of growing organic veggies and berries – i grew corn, tomatoes, peppers, and a ton of herbs in the front yard with embarrasment of my husband and cheers from the neighbors who i shared them with – i hope to recruit the neighbors next season – i plan to get chickens soon. i live in the metro ny area so it definately go some attention – all positive.

    Hi Patti,

    I love your series. Brilliant. I wanted to ask you … I have a chook run and would like to grow an edible vine to grow thru the ugly waist high, wire fencing. What do you recommend? Sweet potato, beans?? What would be ideal?

    another great one !!!

    The bad bills HR 875, HR 759. If you love organic foods, and want to support us who are small holding farmers who produce such foods, look these up here on youtube. You will be shocked at what is coming.

    Shut up you liberal tree huggin lowlife !
    Your a little bit too much with the green thang !

    Patti,

    I love your videos. But small farms are about to be in trouble with the new bills that are being introduced. I hope you and your viewers will look into these bills HR 875, and HR 759. These will destroy the small farm.

    Indeed, scary times ahead…more people need to check this information out and say NO to it.

    If you really need a lawn substitute or you can’t grow grass at all, get some bamboo. It will spread faster then wildfire and will grow anywhere just be careful cause it will take over but it doesn’t need mowing
