Are you using traditional beehives? Or the top bar beehives?

[Rawmodel]

@adznckns 3 traditional, building top bars for the next batch though! Im sure we will have a swarm so they will be lured into the topbar! My uncle Dallas has 6 spread out around his 100 acres to keep disease transmission to a lull. He says it might be the only way to work with bees from now!

I appreciate your advice. Are you planning to grow the grapes on the ground or up your cherries?

[Rawmodel]

Ive got two rows of them, but some are growing up onto the deck. I wouldnt mind doing the whole vine-tree thing.

If you like grapes, check out hardy kiwis!

[Rawmodel]

@phantomcreamer maybe both? Most are climbing up around the deck, as well as hardy kiwis...I think Ill have to transplant some this fall after dormancy so they can climb up more trees. Its a balance of nutrients though too...a vine can really make a tree look bad after awhile...I really do like them against walls or railings. I have lots of grapes climbing through the 18" high fence that runs down the middle of the herb garden...this vid is OLD!

LOl I'm having trouble with dates too LOL......everything looks wasome again!

[shinje87]

um thats a lot of work.. if that was my garden my dog would probably rip everything up :(

does the raw diet include any meat? cause you can eat fish raw (sushi).,

[Rawmodel]

The raw diet can include meat, but usually doesnt. People that eat raw meat usually freeze it for two weeks before eating to make sure all the parasites are dead.

Read about Dr Weston Price and his work with studying native diets and what they ate. I think it is the key. Raw vegan is not wise (IMO) for LONG TERM health and wellness.

Every ape eats some animal products, whether hunks of meat, bugs, milk, or eggs. Veganism is a very new dietary experiment, and the results dont look that good.
