The best gardening & homesteading channels on Youtube
Earlier this year, we posted a video all about the worst weed we’ve encountered in our deep mulch garden: Quackgrass (AKA couch grass, twitch grass, witch grass, devil’s grass, etc.) In this video, we decided to test out it’s claimed edibility, and made some quackgrass rhizome tea.

Compost tea is effective and a wonderful way to feed plants. We use it weekly on our plants as a way of fertilizing and the results are amazing. Check out our new clothing line! http:www.freshpickedapparel.com

Had not planned on making a third video for this subject of beginning gardening but a few comments on the other two and prepping for this years garden brought to mind a couple more
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…

In this episode We will look at some of the most popular gardening myths that are being spread by bloggers and people on pinterest. We are going to disproove the myths and explain why they are totally false. I hope you enjoy, hope that you wil share this if you found it valuable or fun,…
In this episode we are making a super simple worm tea for those who are easily overwhelmed with worm teas and the ingredients needed for some recipes. This also does not require aeration like other teas. Worm tea contains millions and billions of microbes that are beneficial for the garden and soil health. All you…
Compost tea! It is the perfect soil conditioner, the perfect way to supercharge the garden, and it is FREE! This method of compost tea making is called steaped tea. It is much faster and more convenient for young gardeners, or in a pinch when your garden need a little greening up. Brewed compost tea is…
Thinned my beets and collect seeds from the peas. A little on the carrots for seed saving and other things. Lots of major changes about to take place here.
Comparing two types of steam juicers and giving my opinion as what I consider advantages and disadvantages of each.
Trellis is installed and a quick look around. Talking a bit about my priority of work this summer and fall. 1. Get existing beds planted and improved to a point that is satisfactory for the next two years. 2. Divide the property into sections, determine what improvements or builds will be done and do them.…
I consider taking care of equipment to be a huge part of self sufficiency. Rolling up cords haphazardly can greatly reduce the life and efficiency. Here is how I roll them. There is just a little “twist” to the method. There is a very easy way to verify everything I claim in this video about…
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…
An item that is fairly standard for homes where I live. Well worth looking into if you own your own home. These are not high impact resistant but high impact can be found and are approved by some insurance companies for homeowner insurance premium reduction
Look what showed up! I’ve tried rooting cuttings to get them but it never took. They showed up exactly where I wanted to put them as well. How fortunate could I get?
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.
Progress is slow due to certain “challenges”. Showing a little progress and some things I am trying this year.
In Vitro meat and my thoughts on what I consider the ridiculous excuses for it. Very sorry but a few “expletives” did make it past my lips towards the end. I mistakenly uploaded the unedited video. Very sorry about the gaps and being so long. As it is already up I guess I will leave…
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…
Is your soil sandy, silty, or clay? Well you might know what it is just by looking! but do you know there is a way to tell exactly what your soil composition actually is?
