Grazing and Garden Tips with Ray and Rascal

Tips, Tricks

1. Hey Ray, I think it's better if I send you a gift card and you can get the one you like, I got a mixer but it big and heavy, so the cost of send it probably more then the cost of how much my mixer cost. So look out for a letter from Jacquelynn Stroup. I am sending it today.
2. Ray - I love your videos! I am finally getting some time and I am catching up with them. Who needs pollinating bees when one has a Rascal? Today is a great day! I am able to watch your videos and giggle along with you!
3. I let my radishes go to seed this yr. as well, and had hummingbirds feeding on the flowers :) Rascal's adorable. Thanks & peace to ya.
4. hi ray. my Roma tomato plant is flowering but it's not bearing fruit. I don't know what to do.
5. "You search for mice and I'll talk to the nice people"..... GOLD.Thanks for giving me my fix of farm living.
6. The Jerusalem artichokes are actually pretty resistant to dry weather. If you deep water them from the start (to make sure they have deep roots), then you can get away with only 2 - 4 irrigations per month. Last year we didn't have rain for 2,5 months (and very hot weather) and they started wilting only after like a month.
7. Thanks again Ray. I've been looking for sunflower info. Something is breaking the stems about 6" from ground. Squirres? Rabbits? I found info. that said I should sprinkle some Cayenne Pepper around to keep squirrels away. Did that last night, and 2 more stems were broken today!! Now I've put in some chicken poop around them. Any ideas from you?
8. Hi Ray, I'm not sure whether I missed the episode when you were prepping your garden for the spring but I wanted to ask you whether you dump all the old soil (from last season) out from your raised bed and refill it with new soil or do you just re-use the soil and add in fresh compost?
9. I grew a type of lettuce here in KC, planted very early spring, called Santa Fe. I have been picking on it for months! We've had strings of 100 plus days, and it has still not bolted! And the mature leaves are not bitter. This will always be a staple in my spring through summer garden! I've been letting a couple of heads just do their thing, just to see what will happen. Still no bolting, still sweet, crispy with a hint of wilt. It's beautiful;, too, with bright green graduating into a deep purple. I cannot recommend this variety enough!
10. Great video Ray, keep making the amazing and unique youtube videos!
11. Hey is it possible you can help me with a little problem I am having? I got some indoors plants and around them there are flying some small flies not bannana flies they are an other kind and the problem is that the flies lay eggs in the soil for my plants and then there are comming small mites what can I do to the problem? I think that Leca Stones could do something to the problem
12. Hey Ray I was wondering was you going to grow that cassbanana this year
13. I can watch your videos all day! I want to share my experience with growing greens. I've never gardened before and this is my first year and so I started out with easy growing veggies like kale, butter crunch, and collard greens. (I do have other things in my garden though too). I made ollas and planted them evenly throughout my garden bed and my greens are just taking off like crazy. They grow fast, large, and beautiful. I do a full harvest almost every three days, just crazy. All I do is fill up my ollas with filtered water... that's it. I do have compost mixed into my soil as well, but I think it's the constant steady watering from the ollas that's made a huge impact in my garden. I wish I could post pictures on here.
    I wanted to know if you have tried ollas in the past or have any plans for it in the future? It's made such an impact in my garden so wanted to know if this is something you've thought of.
