The best gardening & homesteading channels on Youtube
So this problem has been identified as sun scald. I rather thought it was but as I had never seen a case this bad and the plant still living I wanted corroboration. I am leaving the video up for others who may be searching for this. The plants will survive. New growth is now coming…
Nothing on this video that I haven’t had on other videos. This is to consolidate a few things for my nephew and his wife who are now interested in starting a balcony garden. I hope all will watch and comment with their own suggestions that can help those who are beginning.
Planted the first seedlings today. may be last video for a while. Explained at end of video. Wife has had severe complications and went back in hospital. As I am uploading this video I got word they are moving her into intensive care. Having a very hard time caring anything about gardening right now. Thank…
Type in Sepp Holzer and krameterhof in search box and you will find many links.
Demonstration of my Hecht 6420 wood chipper/shredder.
dehydrated yacon. Not as good as fresh but acceptable.
A fungus killed a tree and needs to be removed. Clearing for new beds.
I haven’t been doing much on gardening lately but it isn’t for lack of gardening stuff to do. Needed to get the home in order, Little maintenance and moving around. Cluttered home, cluttered mind. I can’t work in an unorganized area..
A little more I found on Yacon and the second harvest. http://greenharvest.com.au/Plants/Information/Yacon.html http://www.ehow.com/way_5906976_yacon-planting-directions.html A link discussing renal toxicity related to eating Yacon leaves. I haven’t fully researched it but it states the onset was after prolonged exposure. (eating) May still be edible but check out the article and be careful. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20951787
Revealing the mistake I made in my last video. As I explain, I had anticipated the possibility of making the mistake and made allowances while designing and laying out so it isn’t so bad on this project.
Building a simple concrete form and explaining a few techniques and math usage. Taking the opportunity to teach my daughter practical math applications in the hopes that she will take studying a bit more seriously. I’ve been out of carpentry for several years now and out of practice and made a few minor mistakes that…
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…
Shot this several days ago. A little on the wicking containers.
Taking a cue from Rich with the basket. Here is what we pulled out for dinner.
Little bit on the 3rd garden area. We’ve had to pull back on working on it for many reasons this summer and it is not as far along as I had hoped.
The orchard garden is a bit behind like everything else this year.
There are many flat bodied seeds. Some of these are: Pumpkin, squash, zucchini, cantalope, cucumber, watermelon, marrow, gourds, and so many more!

I have a problem area that is difficult to work with due to the slope and lots of rocks scattered everywhere making it difficult to work so I combined the two for a solution.
Way behind this year. Showing a little of what I’ve got and a few space saving methods I am trying. Also need help identifying a problem with my Yacon.
A little something that should help some people I was speaking with the other day. I was having the same problems though, frankly, I don’t using anything but the delete feature, and decided to look it up for them.
Biochar update, root growth and water retention
Testing the three elements I plan to use for the potting mix for the biochar trials. Peat, compost/potting soil and worm castings mixed with biochar. I am also testing the worm castings without biochar as well.
Preparing bio char for the trials being conducted by OneYardRevolution. If you’re interested in following along or participating check out his channel.

Starting the 2014 season. Here I am showing the growth of the Yacon over the past week and what appears to be positive results of my attempt to root some wild rose cuttings. I’ve started some onion seed and made an indoor seed starting station. Still needs a bit of work. Link to Thumperlane Homestead’s…
The Yacon is beginning to show itself. Trying to root some wild rose cuttings for rose hips and discussing my view of contentment as part of the self sufficient mentality.
I’m experimenting in the kitchen with Quinoa added to a casserole type thingy. Opening a can is not cooking. Taste test at end.

Showing just part of what I accomplished this day. A few other things were worked on as well but this was all that could be finished to a satisfactory point.
Speaking a bit on the strategies I used for my garden this year. Proximity, layers and canopies, placement, plant section and storage.
