Stacking functions is a great tool in permaculture with multiple components of a system serving each other. The same principle can be applied to jobs that need to be done.

    Hello from south of Lake Erie in Northwestern Pennsylvania! Here we have a very rainy but lush climate - not unlike Ireland I believe. The soil is great for trees and native grasses, but the heavy clay isn't great for growing vegetables. I recently started using mulch and I have tried no-dig. I'm really seeing the benefits of the approach. I'll probably use it more in the garden in the future. Thanks for sharing the video and the tip about covering the compost.

    • @Birdland-Homestead
      @Birdland-Homestead Месяц назад

      Thanks for leaving a comment! No dig helps a lot and reduces maintenance. For all of our perennial gardens we will add an additional layer of woodchips to protect the soil life and reduce weeds further. :D

    I have the same heater unit but all build in one.........I use it for heating a office unit (basicly a well isolated shipping container with windows and a normal sized door) and i replaced a window with a pvc kind a glass window in witch i drilled holes and and i screwed on 2 venting holes (hot air in and one that works a waste gate basicly) on the plastic glass and i keep the heater outside on the ground in a plastic box with a power transformer that sends out 12v,that way i dont need to mess around with batterys. I use the remote control to set it to more fuel or less=more or less heat but the on paper 8kw heater (in real life closer to 3,5kw then 4kw) is overkill,i really love these diesel heaters they are pretty cheap to run meaning,they wont for free but running cost are okay for what u get. And they are super silent since all action is outside i only hear the air coming from the vent and thats so hard to hear wenn the heater is on a lower setting.... I tryed propane witch works really well but the side effect is u can smell the propane smell a bit and the moisture that makes the unit wet,so wet u can whipe moisture from the walls.... I tryed electric heating witch is great and super fast heat but the side effect is the running cost per hour witch is really bad. For me this this dry hot air from outside that oderless and silent is really really great.

    I got a 16 quart pressure canner . I'm canning chilli the steam came out of the vent tube for 10 minutes ,I put the jiggler on it never giggled the pressure gage was up then after a half hour or so dropped with no pressure in it .I was able too take the lid off , the seal was in place .I took the rubber gasket off and dried it then with a paper towel I put oil on the gasket .most of the water was gone . It took 2 and half qts. Of water to put the water leaves back to the line in the canner I used hot water . I put it back together and am trying to reconnect the chili .does anyone have an idea why this happened .the canner is a year old and I have canned at least ten times with it and never had any problems with it .

    Hi Martin, greetings from the Sunny Southeast, I discovered your channel about a year ago and I've being enjoying it ever since. Good luck with the new channel and new fulltime career, hope you succeed beyond your wildest dreams. I would use a few bits of scrap 2X1 to make a guard for the end of that chainsaw. As it is it's too easy for someone to come in contact with it or for a dog to jump up and hit it with one of his paws. A chainsaw will only cut you when it's not moving, when it's operating it will tear lumps of flesh out of you. Have you tried splitting wood using a tyre ? ruclips.net/video/XhxuS_NB7kY/видео.html&ab_channel=CTSCAPER I've been doing it this way for the last ten years and find I'm doing a lot less bending and picking up. If your chopping block is about hip height you'll find it a lot easier on your back. I hope to get up to one of your courses in the future. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming.

    Thanks Martin for this video and for sending it to me on my Inbox! Are you in Southern Ireland?? We are in France and have been growing stuff for 3 years now - you sent me my Comfrey! Because of the hot/cold climate here it is difficult, stuff needs to be quite tolerant to quick changes in temperature. Sometimes it is hard to plant in September as it is still hot and then it gets cold and the seeds don't grow! We love it here in S France but my son is not allowed to live here (we are from the UK) with us because of Brexit rules; so we may leave one day. Do you have animals?

      Thanks for your comment! We are based in the north westerly midlands, in Roscommon. Our temperature changes quite a bit here too, but our plants are hardy. We sure do have plenty of animals but only smaller ones. Chickens, cats, dogs and rabbits. Life would be boring without them :)
