The best gardening & homesteading channels on Youtube
This video is not about planting fruit trees. Because, truth be told, we’ve never actually planted a fruit tree before. And so, we don’t yet have any tips, because we don’t yet have any experience. Which is why instead, this video, is about something we do know. Something, as it turns out, we’re very good…
Following the one straw revolution, kind of. Planting without chemicals, disks or plows.
This week I am harvesting my cherries and pruning the tree. Some of the cherries will be used for jams to last us the year and maybe some juice. The rest will be used to distill Schnapps. Not necessarily for drinking. I am not big on drinking but I do find the quality of alcohol…

Starting the 2017 garden season. It is slow going but will pick up speed. So far we have peas and beets in the ground and a few broccoli seedlings to first test out the cold frame.
2016 was not so good for us. Dreadful, Furchtbar, awful, Schwerig! Good riddance! Things are evening out in our lives and hopefully will be looking up soon. I have finally recovered well enough from my long illness that I can go back to work at least part time. More on that later. We have a…

Channel “trailer”. Long time in coming. It’s not comprehensive of my intent but wanted to keep it short. Longer than I intended anyway. Think I may be expanding on some of this in the next few weeks.
Results from older seeds germination have been surprisingly good. Work direction and channel direction will be changing. A big thank you to all who have sent messages and have expressed concern for us in the last few weeks. I don’t usually go into details of problems on my videos but am explaining my surgery for…

Update on my experimental worm farm and a mention of the Bio-char trials being conducted by OneYardRevolution. The worms appear quite happy but I am concerned that it may be to wet. The worms have increased more than six fold since the beginning. As it is my first time attempting this I am not sure…
