Garden has been neglected due to family emergencies and heat wave/drought but a few surprises along the way.
Shot this video a week ago. We are now getting some much needed rain and it is coming down nice and easy. Has been going on for more than 24 hours now. Should soak in well and has already filled our empty rain barrels. Has cooled us off as well. A big relief after almost…
Zion Acre is running a contest. The subject is Why do you feel homesteading is important. Zion Acre has a some good information and my gut feeling tells me she has much more to share. Please go and encourage her to share more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0A_w1Fkgm4
I need a strong, stable trellis that looks at least halfway decent to train the wild rose onto. I thought of buying one to save some time but the cost was completely unacceptable. So, I’m building one. If you want to see the finished product but don’t want to sit through the build just skip…
Did some more shredding today for my mother in law. A few points I wanted to share. I definitely feel one of these is very beneficial if one has a lot of cuttings or can gain acces to them. Talk to the neighbors and get theirs. Stop and ask when you see people cutting. Don’t…
Short addendum to my earlier video on seed saving. This time reasons for saving seed. I did not address political and corporate reasons but I have addressed those many times in the past and probably will again in the future.

A look at what little I have managed to get done during all the turmoil we’ve had the last few months and a description of how I plan to set out some of the seedlings I have started.
A better demo of the wood chipper and testing seed viability and a bit more.
My first year trying the Cherokee trail of tears. I’ve seen several comments that others were thinking of trying them so here is my evaluation for what it’s worth. Sorry about the video ratio. Recently the “beast” decided to override all of my settings and has upgraded and updated everything on my computer without consulting…
This is, in my opinion, an excellent example of a true sustainable solution. I am well aware that some of my talking points leave questions. The next videos will address those that I see after reviewing further and consider comments made. These are my views and opinions. They have been developed by a lifetime of…
💛 📖 See the GrowVeg book here: https://www.growveg.com/growveg-the-beginners-guide-to-easy-gardening.aspx. Creating good nutrient rich soil for your plants to grow in will greatly improve their health, but it’s also important to understand when they may need feeding too. There are many commercial products available to feed your plants with, but you can’t beat making your own organic…

Shot this video over a week ago. Too many tasks, too little time and no help whatsoever. Many surprises over the last 5 months that have pushed many things over the edge. I will not be able to plant half of what I intended this year for several reasons. Quite frankly, I am tired and…
This short video describes how my quail turns mulch into an awesome fertiliser/mulch for my fruit and vegetable gardens. Garden mulch can be expensive but I like to get two uses out of my mulch by giving it to my quail first for them to break down and fertilise then I add it to my…
The orchard garden is a bit behind like everything else this year.
Seedling progress and a few odd things. Maybe someone can give a bit of insight. At the end I describe how I made a wicking container.
Just a little of what is going on at the home garden.
Progress on my bio char trials at 14 days.
Some people plant by the signs of nature. This year, for me at least, the signs of nature are a bit confusing. We have items coming up that are normal for this time of year but there are fewer than normal. Other items are early yet would be normal for the higher temperature ranges we’ve…
