Goodness which dog is "con??? Is that correct????
I get ya…. we are the same. Blessings Jess
You got it and what a beautiful comparison about eating an elephant.
It's looking great!!! ❤❤❤❤
Hey Ash, love the blue hair. Love that your so creative.
Definitely more of Miah and tutorials
Oh my gosh!!!! I had that book Grover on the Farm and LOVED it!
"General ideas" …"make it up as we go"… probably the best gardening plans. That's what I do…
Yes… a channel by Jeremiah would greatly help us guys!
For as much as I wanted to "adopt" a ret I red greyhound… I found out they are site trained. Which means ANYTHING that moves is for them to race after.
I'm happy you are working through a greyhound. I don't know your acquirement of the doggie but…. I know it's a work and you get my cheers up on it.
You are absolutely correct. It dose take time & accidents.
Jeremiah’s channel would be like ail from lumnah acres so explains something sets up a time laps and gos at it and explains why hes doing what hes doing
Asher's hair is awesome =D
OMG I think this is the first time I've ever heard anyone mention Saluda! Hidden gem. Growing up our family would go camping up there every Labor Day and then also go to the Hendersonville apple festival. Wonderful place.
On your new workshop build, make sure to put a bathroom in. I'm so glad my husband insisted on a bathroom in our Pole Barn even though it's close to the house. It's nice if working in the shop or doing yard work to just walk in there.
Definitely need a Tutorial channel. I would watch Miah build and explain.
Sorry re watched lol
I didn't know pigs grew fur like that.
Haha, my eight-year-old daughter is named Katie, so any time I watch now she thinks I'm calling her randomly. 🙂
YOU ARE JUST GLOWING! So happy for you guys!
Hi again, Jess! I agree with you about Miah making DIY videos. I think those should be part of your Learning Center. I don't know what you'll call the learning center.
My thinking on it is real basic: "Roots & Refuge Homestead Learning Center" (RRHLC, for short, perhaps?) And my thinking on Miah's videos is simply that his DIY content is PART OF that learning center's teachings, so they should be a main part of your (not his) second youtube channel. I'd name that channel "Roots & Refuge Homestead Learning Center" channel, plain n simple. What you both do to educate and demonstrate homesteading skills and methods should be included together on that channel.
That's My (not-so-humble) Opinion. (I even capitalized the letters. Ha!)
Jess, I have a potential safety concern for you to look into. If your property is THE low-place for the areas around you, maybe you should ask around at the farms up-stream, to find out who uses certain toxic chemicals, either for farming or for grounds-keeping, etc. Find out if any of the properties around you are using insecticides or weed-killers, expecially the really toxic herbicides including glyphosate (Round-Up) and chlordane, etc. If those are washing onto your land with the rain and ending up in your ponds, that's A Very Bad Thing. I do recommend you look upstream and start asking some pointed questions.
Fertilizers, too. Not so much a question of toxicity, but when they fill a stream or pond, the algae will bloom and potentially make nasty smelling swamp gas and it'll get mucky and nasty and ladies of good breeding will start looking around for the hollyhocks, if you know what I mean. Might not be poisonous, but it could be nasty. Again, I suggest you ask around.
Hopefully nobody upstream is using those things and everything will always be hunky-dory.
Now that I think about it, this brings up the question of what's going to happen over there where they were doing all the logging in the forest right up to the entry road. Is that only logging for wood and they're replanting new trees to grow in place of the old growth trees they cut down… or did they clear that land for some sort of commercial development? Will there be factories built there or will there be some very rural housing developments going in there? Either way, where does that drain to?
On another subject…. have you considered using some of those cattle panels to make a cattle-panel arch pig-pen? Miah can build solid sides and a arched roof with a door at the end. He can use heavy tarp plastic for the roof to keep weather out and for shade… just like a cattle-panel greenhouse, but no clear plastic. (Okay, maybe for the sides. That could be fun and actually, during the day you'll be able to see momma pig and her piglets from a distance without going in and disturbing their nursing. Honestly, I don't know if that's a concern, or not, but if it is, there's a possible solution.)
I just remembered I'm watching this video a month after-the-fact and I have seen Instagram pics of Ben with piglets already, so whatever you've done it worked. LOL I'm so behind. ANYway, I hope you like my ideas for future use. Now I'm off to view the next video. Seeya there!
YES!!! A Sweet Miah The Builder YouTube channel!!! I would love love LOVE to see more of that side of your journey and there are so many that could benefit from him sharing his skills!
