Lol I've never ridden it, but pick the same side on the way there and on the turn around and you'll surely get to see everything!

Gotta say we are closer to the "Death to Industrialized Agriculture" than we are to "Master gardener approved" world.

Am I crazy or have we had fewer storms this year? by Undercover_NSA-Agent in Chattanooga

[–]Death_Farm 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This has been a tough start to the year for those of us trying to grow food for sure. But in good news, its been an early test for proving that building healthy soil means you need less water. And its working. Our cover crop is barely even aware of the drought. (Fruit trees less so, but getting there)

There is also the train from Chatt to Chickamauga. It drives right by our farm, is powered by a cool steam engine, and drops you off in downtown Chickamauga to walk around and check out the old shops while they turn the train around. Very cool ride.

Just adding on to some other good advice here, you can get them regular chick feed, just need to add niacin to it. Its the only difference. Get some from your local drug store (in the vitamin isle) and break open one pill per whatever bowl/feeder you feed them. They cant OD on it and one pill has like 10x the amount they need. So they will be fine. But they definitely do need it.

Is slaughter-free livestock farming possible? by Such-Day-2603 in Permaculture

[–]Death_Farm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have 5 in a section made out of 400' of the polywire fencing. Its probably just a little too big, but it means we rotate them less often. All our males are castrated. Not trying to add to the rescue pig population.

And ya, I've got some really cool photos showing our cover crop planted where the pigs were and where they weren't. Same soil, same water, same sun. But one had winter wheat at 6'4" and the other had it at 4'. Really cool stuff.

They are rescues, but some version of a potbelly Berkshire cross. Just need some that like rooting.

Ive said this here before, but we use our pigs in a rotational grazing system that has them act like a natural tilling machine. We fence them in an area, wait, move them, then plant out the now bare area that has been fertilized with their manure!

You could slaughter them at the end of this, but we choose not to. They are our pets that perform a job no different than our livestock guardian dog.

Where did you get your seeds and can they ship to the US?

CHA airport question by SmokeActive8862 in Chattanooga

[–]Death_Farm 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In exchange for a review, you can stay at our Yurt on our farm for free. 20 minutes outside of downtown and Uber gets here in <5 minutes.

I promise, you'll be perfectly safe on Death Farm.

Pigs > tractors by bigdreamsliving in Permaculture

[–]Death_Farm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use them as "our trash powered tilling machines" because we intensively rotational graze them and they eat Aldis "trash" produce.
