kiln fire biochar to transform branches into enriched carbon soil amendments for a healthy biosphere
want to learn what biochar is and how to make it, and encourage your local community sustainability groups to start a kiln-share in your neighbourhood? making biochar (a biologically enriched charcoal) from the branches and brush generated as we tend our gardens, orchards and forests, sets us all on our way to sequestering carbon, reducing woodsmoke, increasing the water-holding capacity, microbial life and nutrient density of the soil, being good partners to the trees and generally having a gorgeous time round the fire as humans are called so primally to do.
this film teaches the practical steps to making biochar in a kiln from our island's community kiln-share with historian and charcoal expert brian smallshaw (pixelmap.ca/biochar/) and why, at this moment in time, it really matters.
look for @appleturnover films about the ducks, geese, and deep litter mentioned in the film, too.

    How do you entice the geese to use the house? If you do nothing, will they soon occupy it or ignore it? Will they poo inside the house or do they do their business elsewhere? (I know nothing about geese).

  • @zoes32flavaz
    @zoes32flavaz 3 дні тому

    1:29 is that a bieldfelder? we have one too who just hatched chicks! I’m trying to find out how to gain the chicks trust while she’s raising them. She’s pretty tame herself but her chicks run away..

    • @appleturnover
      @appleturnover 3 дні тому

      yes! try feeding her seeds that she can feed her chicks, and then when you can grab them let them look in your eyes and talk to them. they’ll associate you with good things eventually.

  • @MistressOP
    @MistressOP 11 днів тому

    Do they need access to water when broody? Because sometimes you mist duck eggs when trying to hatch them out

    • @appleturnover
      @appleturnover 10 днів тому

      oh yes, i always keep water available. none of my ducks have ever hatched ducklings though, so i’m not sure of the misting.

    Using deep litter is amazing! We use almost exclusively straw because we have almost unlimited access to it. It’s also nice because they break it down while they dig and it saves great mulch around everything in the garden

    Hi! We just got our first goslings! Do you put any food/water in their house with them at night?

    • @appleturnover
      @appleturnover 2 місяці тому

      by the time i move them out they don’t need anything at night, but if it is warm where you are and you have them move out quite early you might want to for a while. just not so much that rats start breaking in! and water can eventually rot the house. late spring is such a long day, they’ve had plenty of food all day.

    • @appleturnover
      @appleturnover 2 місяці тому

      i like to wait til every chick is bouncy enough to keep up and get out of the way of her super-charged digging. once she gets out she really goes foraging and it isn’t good if there’s someone too new to keep up. it’s usually just a couple of days. she might need bathroom break though…but she’ll kind of let you know.

  • @mousiebrown1747
    @mousiebrown1747 5 місяців тому

    Important question: do you bother about determining fertility of your eggs? If so, how? I remember as a kid learning a bit about candling eggs, which I’ve long since forgot! Secondly, I’ve got a large double sided doghouse (for a Great Pyrenees-who never used it) designed for like 2 labs, and the roof lifts off for egg hunting. What would be a rough guess as to how many ducks could comfortably sleep or nest in there? It’s at least 4 1/2 ft x 3 ft, 2 large entry flaps (which can be rigged into doors that secure them inside. Thank you for your good help. I have no dogs at present. I’m trying to trap pesky raccoons: the fact raccoons are thriving is a sign coyotes aren’t here.

    • @appleturnover
      @appleturnover 5 місяців тому

      the iphone/handy is made for candling! i do try to, just so i know i have some little lives happening for my broody. rough guess, 6? as long as they are free ranging. more if you attach a secure run that stays open to the house (like my chicken run) plus they freerange. just mind it is not on the ground. rats easily eat in and then other predators. you might like to come over to patreon.com/appleturnover to see what that’s like. you sound very at ease with it all but if you need a few weeks of mentorship to get a project well off the ground there’s a tier for that. and free stuff etc.

  • @mousiebrown1747
    @mousiebrown1747 5 місяців тому

    ✊🏻Water is Life ✊🏻 Thank you . I needed to see a good view of runner ducks. They seem delightful. I may, or I may not, follow your path-I’m older with mobility issues, & a history of coyotes hereabouts. But….. I would add in a few geese for fun! Had some years ago & they did great. Neighborhood fox got their chicks, tho….. free range nesting….. You’ve been a big help to me. I had been thinking about a few Swedes, rather than a larger breed. But the runners would meet my purpose - eggs & entertainment- as you clearly show. There are rattlesnakes & moccasins here and the occasional turtle. Hopefully the commotion of ducks would discourage them to the very nearby water and woods. I’m toying with the idea of releasing some native type turkeys as some live nearby, and some neighbors feed the deer. I’ve only seen deer once in the yard but people tell me their hoof prints are everywhere. I have completely enjoyed this quality presentation ❤❤❤. Love the cats! I have 3.

    @greaterthanme876 5 місяців тому

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share this adventure! My husband and I are hoping to introduce fertilized eggs to our hens for the first time this spring. When the chicks hatch, have you ever had to be concerned with the rest of the flock bothering or challenging the babies, or do they tend to automatically accept the chicks as part of the family?

    • @appleturnover
      @appleturnover 5 місяців тому

      i definitely separate them. mama will protect them and i don’t like to see her wallop anyone. once she weans them i begin to integrate them…she’s usually already introduced them to the henhouse by then herself and they learn to be quick and stay out of trouble. but that’s 7 weeks or older. best to observe and see how things look. happy brooding!!

      the runner duck doesn’t really fly, they might beat their wings to pick up some speed and catch a bit of air but they are best at swimming and pretty great at walking. they did once find a hole in the fence and went to sample the grass on the other side-but only for a day trip! they know where home is and want to be here.
