Conserve Water Plant Native Color


I just love the look of this old rustic horse feeder as a container for my native color plants. Water conserving native color plants mind you!
These plants are not just adding color to my garden when in bloom either. The leaves range in shades of gray, light to dark greens, yellows, some have variegated leaves as well, so when not in bloom you still achieve shades of color throughout your garden.
I came across a real fun feature I thought would be worth passing along to my readers. Sunset Magazine offers through their online web site http://www.Sunset.com a feature titled "plant finder" (located on the left side bar of the Home page).
Through this site you can located Native plants for your zone, before heading to your local garden center. I thought this information is well worth passing on, it is so easy to use. I hope it will inspire you to peak your interest in planting Native Plants for both Color and Water Conservation!
Remember to feed Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, premium soil conditioner tea's to further help conserve water and build strong healthy root base systems on all your indoor and outdoor plants.

Fresh Grilled Veggies & Flowers





Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, premium soil conditioner. Your "Brew it Fresh" 100% natural pure manure tea's , harvested, sun dried, Eco hand packaged for the Container, Patio and Small Home Gardener. A chance meeting with a couple at a big box garden center, Owner and Woman Rancher, Annie Haven, invited the couple to her Southern California Ranch for an introduction to the Art of Brewing Manure Tea.


As the conversation evolved, the couple asked if they could invite members of their garden club to join in (about 15 members) Haven, was happy to accommodate their request under one condition. Everyone that wanted to attend would need to bring something from their garden or something made from their garden.


The picture above shows Haven, reviewing her demonstration table set up. Harvested Manure on right, tea brewing on left and to the far left Roses, Iris with Wisteria vine Greenery. All from Haven's ranch gardens.


Sunday here, the gardeners arrive at the ranch, all carring fresh veggies, flowers, home pressed olive oil and yes, wine!


After the demonstration on the Art of brewing manure tea, it's natural health benefits for the soil and plants root system.


Tables were set and decorated with fresh flowers. The BBQ was fired up, fresh veggies sliced grilled, drizzled in olive oil were enjoyed by all who attended. As we sipped local wine, we enjoyed sharing gardening stories, tips and tricks.


This impromptu, gathering of gardeners was such a success Haven, has had a total of 10 more requests to join in this coming Sunday's class!


Haven, says I can't think of a better way to share the Art of Brewing Manure Tea. It is so good for your soil, plant root system. Another little known secret of Manure Tea. Brew it up and pour it into your organic compost. Yes, that's right, just as manure tea naturally breaks down the soil, manure tea will speed the break down of your organic compost. It's all natural which is what is so wonderful about it!

Pure Cow Manure is a Soil Conditioner


Cow Manure for your garden soil.

Lets dish the dirt, shoot some Sh_t and talk some
Cr_p about were this all comes from and what it
really does for your indoor and outdoor plants!

Cow Manure, buy it by the bag at the local garden center, haul it in by the pail or truck load whichever way you chose Cow Manure is good for the soil.


Cow Manure, the majority of what you find available on the market today, has come from a livestock yard or dairy, were they have several hundred head of cattle contained in small areas. In order to maintain the health of the livestock in stockyard/dairy, they clean the pens and stock pile the manure (some sell it, some give it away).

That's all well and good, for both you and your soil, no doubt about it!


However; if you are a real Organic grower or someone that really cares about what they are growing and what their plants are growing in, then you should consider getting your Cow Manure from a controlled source, such as, Haven Livestock Producers. Haven Livestock, is raised naturally, grass fed, free of antibiotics, growth hormones, pesticides and has been since 1924.


Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, (pure manure) premium soil conditioner, is harvested fresh, from the pastures of Haven raised livestock only, sun dried and hand packaged in 100% Eco-friendly tea bags, right here at the ranch.


For years large natural grower's have come to the Haven Family for the by-product of their natural grass fed livestock, to use as a natural soil conditioner for their vegetable fields and starter green house plants. Grower's brew the premium soil conditioner Cow Manure in large vats (just like you would sun tea). Then water their fields and green house plants with it. Cow Manure is a soil conditioner/soil amendment (not a fertilizer). Cow Manure when brewed as a tea, will not burn your plants or foliage, it works to break down the soil so your plants root base system can more readily absorb needed nutrients from the soil naturally. A Plant with a naturally healthy strong root base system, is able to naturally resist pests, fungus, frost, etc., and will produce more blooms, yield more vegetables and have shinier healthier foliage. Cow Manure "Tea" can be brewed and fed to all your indoor and outdoor plants safely.


As farm land gave way to High Density Housing. Haven's thought their Value Added premium soil conditioner business might be all but lost!


However; that did not happen, a new "Niche Market" of Container, Patio and Small Home Gardener's who wish to grow green, began knocking at the ranch gate.


To accommodate this new Niche Market of green garden grower's Haven, set out to design a package that would allow the Small Home gardener to "Brew it Fresh" and use Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew (pure manure) premium soil conditioner tea in the same way the large natural grower's have enjoyed over the years.
Taking that concept a step further, Haven, photographed here livestock, roses, etc., and built a web site for all Container, Patio and Small Home Gardener's to order Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, premium soil conditioner from! Know what you are buying and where it comes from so you can Live Green by Growing Green.

Raised Wood Garden Beds


Well, we do just a few things here at the ranch. Raise grass fed livestock, harvest, sun dry, hand package "Eco-friendly" premium soil conditioner, for the Container, Patio and Small Home gardener. Train horses, rope, fix fence, mow pastures, plant native color gardens and now building Raised Wood Garden Beds!
With 800 board feet of fence to replace, the old Redwood makes for outstanding Raised Wood Garden Beds. So that's what's been going on here this past few days.
No blue prints or plans needed. Becky, fellow horseman drove off the hill from her ranch to join me in the art of laughter, wail playing with power tools. Here's a picture of the first Raised Wood Garden Beds 2' W X 6'L X 11" H we assembled from scrap Redwood fence. The first one took us 1 1/2 hours, the second came in at just under 1 hour. Not bad, I'd say for two Ranch Women turned instant carpenters.
What's Needed:
Lumber of choice (I would suggest for your first Raised Garden Bed, finished size 2' W X 6'L X 11" H)
Lumber List
4- 2" X 6" X 8' Redwood, Pine or Douglas Fir (No treated Lumber) cut 2' off for ends
1- 1" X 2' X 6' Redwood or Pine, this is for the suppot braces for the inside of the bed cut into 10" pieces.
Tools List:
Table Saw, Skill Saw, or Jigg Saw
Drill W/Drill Bit and Philips or Square Screw Head (two drills works best) Not needed if you use nails.
3" and 2" Deck Screws (square heads are best) or 3" and 2" Galvanized Nails your choice
T-square
Tape measure
Safety Glasses
Gloves
Marking Pencil
Hammer
Wood Clamp
Note: Also 1 husband, wife or real good friend, willing to lend a hand and make you laugh.
Building Raised Wood Garden Beds is easy and should be a fun project!
Once you have finished the Raised Wood Garden Bed, fill with good clean organic soil. Brew it Fresh, a large batch of Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, premium soil conditioner tea and water in well. Allow to set for a day or to so the soil will settle (you may want to add more soil). Now plant you seeds, veggie starters or plants and water them in good again, with another batch of Brew it Fresh, Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, premium soil conditioner tea. Sit back sip some Mint tea and admire your work!

Pure Manure Tea-Gardener's Gold They Say


Good Morning gardeners, reminding you of the benefits of brewing pure manure tea, for all your indoor and outdoor plants.
Pure Manure Tea has been called "Gardeners Gold" for generations. When you "Brew it Fresh" and feed it to your plants, you are following natures steps.
Manure Tea when brewed and fed naturally beaks down the soil so your plants roots can absorb the nutrients they need from the soil.
When your plant's root system is able to absorb needed nutrients, they grow stronger. A strong root system will better support your plant. So the stronger the root base system, the stronger the plant. Strong healthy plants are naturally able to resist pests, frost, etc.
Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew is hand packed in Eco-friendly tea bags for the Container, Patio and Small Home Gardener, from Haven raised grass fed livestock only.
We would love to have you visit our web site, view our product line and Order your's today!
Your plants will love you for it.
If you have any questions please e-mail annie@ahavenbrand.com

Morning Walk Around the Ranch


Morning walks are a must here at the ranch. It's important to check the livestock, water troughs and fence lines. This is done before you start your day. What you find on these walks can change your whole schedule. This mornings walk found everything to be just fine.
One of the perks to my morning walks, this time of year, is the beauty of the roses that grace the fence lines around the ranch house! Pretty as a picture they are, the scents they throw are an added bounce!
All of the roses here at the ranch are fed Alfalfa Tea first feeding in Spring, followed in two weeks with a 1/4 to 1/2 cup Epsom Salt (watered in well). Then we start feeding them regular waterings of Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, (pure manure tea) premium soil conditioner. Please Visit Us http://www.AuthenticHavenBrand.com

Going Native for Color, Water Conservation and Primitive Containers


Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, (pure manure tea) premium soil conditioner is going Native for color, Water Conservation and Primitive with Container Gardens.
We like to mix it up around the ranch and over the years as we retire one piece of equipment it is set aside to be recycled into something else.
Here is a perfect item for us to start with. Once a 55 gallon drum, converted to a horse feeder and now being recycled once again to a primitive container, for a Native color garden.
Gathering soil from the large corral, I filled the bottom of the horse feeder 3/4 full. I then watered well, planted one Mexican Sage in the back and two Greggii Reds in the front to weep over.
I was looking for a few things when I picked out the plants to fill this primitive horse feeder, now turned garden container.
One: I wanted water conserving/drought tolerant Native plants with color.
Two: I wanted deep rich leaf texture and deep rich floral color, with contrast.
The color would look nice against the primitive, rustic look of the barrel turned horse feeder. Mexican Sage, grows tall, with long gray/green leaves and spear like deep purple flowers which works well as the back of the horse feeder is tall.
The front of the horse feeder is low, so the Greegii Red, with it's small dark green leaf and rich red velvet flower looks good weeping over and should do well in the shade of the Mexican Sage once fully grown.
Now setting with a back drop of Honey Suckle I think it looks really nice. It's truly a Native, Water Conserving, Primitive Container Garden, Loaded with contrast and Color! Beautiful Yard Art! I'll post a picture once it's in bloom.
Lets work on another one next week! Remeber to Brew it Fresh so your plants will look their best.

Mighty Old Oak Trees


It is from the fallen Acorns of these two wonderful Mighty Old Oak Trees (about 300 years old) that I have started all my Oak Trees from. These two Oak Trees stand guard in the front yard of the main ranch house. There is something majestic about them.
I hope you enjoyed my Steps to Raising Starter Oak Trees Naturally and will try it yourself. We need to restore our land by planting Native trees and plants for beauty and water conservation.
Native plants can be grown by Container, Patio and Small Home Gardeners. Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, (manure tea) premium soil conditioner will be sharring some fun planting ideas in our up coming posts. Please join us by Growing Green!

Step Five Raising Starter Oak Trees


This Oak Tree is now coming 7 years old, is about 20' tall. I started it the same way I have shown you in my earlier posts so I know it works. I know the results provide me with naturally healthy Oak Trees that should stand the test of time. I feed this Oak Tree one good watering of Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew (pure Manure Tea) premium soil conditioner once a month through the Summer months only.

Step Four Raising Starter Oak Trees


In this picture you see my starter Oak Trees are 6' to 8' tall. They are now ready to be planted in the ground. These Oak Trees will be the first of three Oak Tree Groves I have planed to re-create in my pastures.
Giving back to the land and providing natural shade for my livestock.
Oak Trees are known to be slow growers. However; starter Oak Trees do grow fast when watered regularly. They are a naturally drought tolerant tree. Once planted in the ground, I will gradually start to reduce the amount of Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, (pure Manure Tea) premium soil conditioner fed to them and let Mother Nature take over.

Step Three Starting Oak Trees


Step Three, transplant into 2 gallon or larger container. I prefer to transplant them into 5 gallon container, making their next transplant into the ground. I continue to Brew and water regularly with Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew (pure manure tea) premium soil conditioner
Oak Tree is about 2' tall here

Step Two Starting Oak Trees Naturally


This is step two, after about six weeks these are healthy Oak Tree spouts about 6" tall! I continue to water well with Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, (pure manure Tea) premium soil conditioner.
You can see the difference between the first pot of soil matter and the soil matter in this pot with the starter Oak Tree sprouts.
The break down of leaves and organic matter was naturally exhilarated by the use of Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew (manure tea) premium soil conditioner.
These Oak Tree sprouts are growing in rich natural soil and doing really well.
Note: Keeping the small starter pots on top of a large container filled with soil helps hold moisture and saves water!

Step One of Starting Oak Trees Naturally


Step one of starting Oak Trees. Carefully gather top soil (never dig soil around/under Oak trees) Oak leaves and Acorns. I mix and put in to recycled pots or recycled paper pots (see DoubleDanger.com)
I place several pots on top of a large container filled with soil (helps hold moisture). I keep the pots watered well with Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew (pure manure tea) premium soil conditioner.

Pure Manure Tea Re-Creating an Oak Tree Grove

Haven Ranch in Southern California is always working to maintain our pastures, by taking steps to replace what was once long ago removed. One of the things that was lost years ago, were the mighty Oak Tree Groves that dotted the Murrieta Valley. Now there are some that remain, however there were some, I am sure in my pastures, at on time.

Many of the Oak trees were downed for timber, firewood, etc., some were cleared in order to farm the land(s).

The original name of our ranch, named in the 1800's, was the Dos Encino. This is Spanish for "Two Oaks"! That name came from the two mighty Oak Trees that stand to this day in front yard of the main family ranch home.

Over the past several years I have transplanted the off spring from these two wonderful trees to other parts of the ranch. I've line the fence along the main road and now working to re-create natural Oak Tree groves throughout the pastures. I believe that is how the land looked here at one time.

It will do my heart good to see the cattle and horses once again bedding down in the shade of these natural moisture omitting trees, during the long hot summer afternoons.

I have found that collecting the top soil (no digging) leaves and acorns from under the Oak Trees placing it in containers and watering regularly with Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew pure manure tea, premium soil conditioner, I have young Oak Trees sprouting like weeds. I then transplant in to larger pots. Once the Oak Trees reach 6' to 8' tall, I then plant them in the ground, spaced with full growth in mind!
