that duck is almost as loyal as my puppies
Really love the vidz on your permaculture homestead Az! Wish you did more!
More to come! Cheers mate
Ducky almost met his end at 13:10, little legend
I thought the exact same thing 😮😮😮😅
Slingshot and a bag full of grapes. Every time the Cassowary has a crack at the crops they cop a grape to the head. It's a fun game for everyone! 😂 the bird will eventually decide to eat elsewhere, and you'll have half a bag of grapes for arvo tea
Your three-year journey towards self-sufficiency is incredibly inspiring and admirable. Your dedication and hard work are evident in every step towards achieving this goal. It's clear that your commitment to sustainability and independence is making a meaningful impact on your life and community. And I am a floating village life from Vietnam.
I miss u brother. Long day comeback. Please upload video frequently ❤❤ love u
Will do brother, thanks!
In terms of feeding multiple animals, we always cut a length, or a few, or storm drain pipe (lengthways) in half.
It gives you a nice long trough type set up and keeps the animals from eating directly off the ground, minimising consumption of worms.
Really enjoying watching your homestead grow and will drop into the Cafe when we next head North from CQ.
All the best ✌️
So pleased to see you guys doing so well. I really love your updates. Quark is a gorgeous addition to the family. I look forward to seeing your next vid.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy:)
Everything has grown so much. It's looking fantastic. Love quark, he rocks!
So great azza! Was only thinking last week how your place was going!
Love ya work, love quark the duck and the good vibes
Keep up the updates!
Thanks mate, cheers!
Living the dream! I grow a lot of food in my little suburban lot and would LOVE a place like this. Well done, it’s looking lushhh ❤
Looking good big fella. Definitely getting some clippings next trip through.
I'm glad to see you're still kickin' it on this side of the dirt, fella.
It's always a pleasure watching your content.
Cheers mate, still giving it a crack
Saying hi from south eastern Victoria, we do our cool climate crops like brassicas very well here but intrigued to your tropical side of things!
Looking good guys, it's really starting to come together.
Having watched a couple of your videos and being in the area recently, I dropped into the pocket cafe for breakfast. The food, service and coffee was excellent and it's a very unique cafe. It's also like an art gallery/museum. Well worth stopping in😁
🎉🎉🎉🎉 Horray finally another episode. Love your work Azz and great to see the garden coming along nicely.
I truly want to do what you are doing. Amazing garden.ive in Arkansas USA its only summer trying to grow. Anyway awesome garden.
Big ups to Quakers👍
Great to see you AZ. You are a legend on sea and land. The Pocket looks amazing as does the animals and botanicals. Best of luck reaching your goal in the future.
Cheers Sal, thanks for watching:)
Beautiful garden, Az. Looks wonderful. Will definitely drive up and see your cafe one day soon. Very inspirational! 💚🦋🌻
Miss your B2B content Azz and Crew, So glad I found this one, I love this Self Reliant content.
norway, how great
glad to see an update on your farming endeavors
What a great set up, I had no idea you had this as well as your other youtube activities ... Well Done and Good Onya
Cheers mate! Yes, the farm is a big part of my life. A good balance .
oh I loved seeing all that Az!....watching from the southern U.S., ......if ever I come to AU will be visiting The Pocket!
Quark is amazing. Definitely a special duck the only one to survive. Wow bro your yard has come a long way from the last time I seen a video. I would love this I live in a concrete jungle absolutely nothing hear. Thanks for the up load bro
Azz that was inspriational tour, up in FNQ you got growers of your tropical exotics that just let the tree grow so tall and it becomes a cherry picker task and fruit bat haven. i like what your doing keeping the trees manageable height and at a size that keeps them secure and selling your produce at the pocket. Definitely I got your location in my maps for next time I'm up in FNQ cheers.
To keep bats off or birds off fruit trees there is a Bird Barrier Netting Mesh with zippers that can be used to cover your fruit trees, does help keep them off.
Will check it out! Cheers
I only just got back from up that way wish I’d known about the the cafe! Uncle lives at Silkwood.
Property is looking amazing.
I’m not surprised in the slightest that Az has a duck that follows him around like a puppy
Hey mate great to see you are doing well on the farm. Grandma use to make a bug repellent from chillies, garlic and soap the soap was a wetting agent. I used it few times on my veggies worked a treat 👍
Ill try that out in a big spray tank and report back on how it went. thanks!
@@b2bhomesteading
I for got to mention we used to cook it in a pot on the stove sorry.
❤ love love love ❤️
Love the homesteading! Cant wait for more content
Great video, thank you!
Wow, Great homestead!
Thanks for the update , love this so much.
Happy to see you back! The farm looks amazing!
In Thailand, they get those banana flowers n fry them up with pork to bring in the milk for breast feeding mothers who ain’t flowin so good.
True story. My midwife told me so-here in NZ
Love it.
Hello my dear friend I really like your duck it always follows you What job do you do what a great picture Thanks for sharing I really like your video
You are able to grow so many great varieties of fruit there.We cant grow the tropical stuff here near Goulburn but we can grow the classics like apples pear oranges etc and a few more less classic fruits like pomegranate and crab apple.
Make a mixture of 1 Cup of white vinegar to 2 cups of water add banana straps into a small jug stir vigorously, then hang the jug in your fruit trees. Will help keep warms and nasty bugs away. Hope this helps😊
Thanks for the idea! I will try
Have you given Scarecrows a thought mate? you might need a few to scare bloody big buggers 😂
wow and peace be upon you sir
Oh, you have a really cute duck.
Pr7otective netting. Cassawary-proof netting must be metal, and WELL installed!
i love you peoples . this is my go to . my inner peace
Awesome work bro. I want to do that and hunting camp that way there’s fruit all year long
Living the dream.
I love these updates Az
Looking forward to showing you and the new bub around some time!
Finally Az! top video tks
The same my country.
Hey ads love ur work mate I know a few people I’ll ask around for about that turn in lane for ur property 👍🇦🇺🙏
Thanks, any help to make it a bit safer would be awesome cheers for that!:)
I’m in the same region, just harvesting my first bananas now but have 3 varieties on the go. Would love a rundown on varieties and growing/harvesting tips
Hey Az, not completely sure but the lemon grass looks to me like citronella grass..
Might be coming by next week I'll drop some lemon grass in if you want?
Keep up the great work, everything is looking amazing. Also about the bugs.. chilli spray. Gete the hottest chilli boil strain and spray.
Cheers
Great tips, thanks mate! Smells like lemon grass. I think is, just on steroids haha or just the perfect conditions
@@b2bhomesteading
Maybe brother, anyway I think from memory you have both. Still coming down I think Saturday.
Partners birthday.
I love the gardening vids. But you have to be cautious with the machete. You nearly hit the duck at 13:12 ❤😢
Ducks are the best, even down here in a suburban block.
Diatomaceous earth for insects. You can get food grade and then non-food grade which is better. Also, apple cider vinegar can sometimes work on certain insects by attracting other insects that yet other insects like to eat and they wind up eating the other bugs. Some though actually deter bugs. I think.
Molasses feed blocks for cows and buffalo and spread it out:)
Thanks for the tip! will look into it
Love your work Az
I reckon that Cassowary would make a good Sunday roast!
D
Hahhah, crossed my mind!
CONGRATULATIONS WE SHOULD BE SELF SUFFICIENT WATCH SIMILAR CONTENT ON OUR CHANNEL
Awesome bro
And forget try orchard nets for bats on paw paws
Awesome😮
Copper for the bugs, and a gel blaster for the big chooks.
Legend! Thank you
sorry the copper is to help flowers set, worm castings sprayed on the foliage will help stop insects. Good luck. Love your videos 👍🏽
Quark.......Someones a Deep Space Nine fan 💖
Love these vids mate - now what kind of sunnies are those and where can I get some!?
Facing down 3x 500kg high testosterone steers - "Easy mate, you're alright" - australians are just built different
❤❤❤ Nice
Hi, I live FNQ too and was wondering where you got your grafted durian from? Was it a local nursery? Thanks
Hot tip on Cassowaries,,,, Sunday roast Aza!!
Hahha I've got mates from Papua who'd be licking their lips!
Just gotta dodge the dinosaur feet
hey azz when are those chum shirts and hats coming back
The water buffalo you have would be the same ones I see in Thailand?
Lookin’ lush, Az!! Just wondering what you use to kill off the unwanted grasses/weeds? I’m on a few acres and am finding the organic stuff a bit costly to use so often.
Thanks mate! tried a few. Firepower and basta have been good as necessary evils when the organic doesnt do the job
Hi guys love what you do maybe try paretherum as a natural pesticides grow your own and turn in your own sore of pesticides good luck. Tony
cool
Do you grow Lichi trees as well? Mainly produced in Kwa Zulu Natal and small areas in The Mpumalanga Province. Big market in RSA.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ greetings from Viet Nam ❤❤❤❤❤
Not sure what to do about your fruit bugs without spraying, but can you eat the big birds?
😊😊😊😊
More Quark content please
I absolutely love this idea! I really wish I could visit but I'm too far away. Also wondering if you have any recommendations for tropical fruiting plants that would do well in South East QLD?
We can grow lots down here if you are frost free, I have abiu,jackfruit,chempejak, santol,maprang, achacha, coconut amongst my hundreds of trees
This video never came up in my feed. Sorry AZ. I,would have watched this immediately. Quark is a scientific term.
Did Quark wear a nappy while he was a house duck?
Love following you guys but I’m nervous you’ve planted everything so close to each other which ok now when they are young but may become an issue as they get bigger. Am sure you thought all that.
Will find out in about 4 more years! haha will be a lot of pruning
How do the goats and sheep go either paralysis ticks?
Where do you sleep? How's your living quarters?
Do you spray weedkiller in your rows/beds?I can seed dead / sprayed looking weeds/grass
Have been trailing a mix of methods, both organic and inorganic
Mulch more
It's been a while Az.. Almost deleted the channel.
Eat the cassalwerry
Hi what type of duck is this? Thanks
Is this YB?
Put a cage around to protect from the birds.
G'day mate, did you ever say why you haven't got mango growing?
I have one flowering! Will film next week. Only have 2 in the ground
@@b2bhomesteading Thanks mate. I do love me a mango and sticky rice.
Tried introducing assassin bugs?
Not yet! I will have to though. Need to sus cost $$?
Hes a big bird to roast.
r they good 2 eat
If you can catch a Indian Runner, what temp do you roast em?
Slow cook generally!
Do mangosteen really take 20 years to fruit?
6-8 if managed properly
