Sharing our passion for efficient, sustainable homesteading that brings the family together. We believe in homesteading that's sustainable, not just sustainable homesteading. In other words, we want to show you that homesteading doesn't have to wear you out to the point that you give it up. We've seen it happen, and almost came to that point ourselves.

As my mother always said, and I said to my kids, and now my grandkids “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Shame on people for being mean. Move on! These kids are dodging an awesome job raising their family and running their homestead. Without being condescending, I am proud of you guys. Such a pleasure to watch! Keep it up! 🥰
Well said! I wish I had there motivation to do it and go after your goals.
I was raised the same way and also taught my kids and now grandkids too.
Thanks so much 😊 Well said.
Same here😊
Love the hose reel. When I found a snake in my enclosed rolling reel and promptly gave it away (reel not the snake). I just bought longer hoses so I can reach all areas of yard that need water. My hardworking farmer dad drilled common sense into us kids and if it doesn’t work mark it up to experience and do something different next time around. Impressed with your farm and thanks for the info.
No shame in using a tiller. You do what is necessary for you to do to get your garden in order. Love the videos! GOD bless
Thank you 😁
you are doing so well keep up the great work all of you. Don't pay attention to the haters just ignore them and keep doing your best
Thank you! I'm glad we have a lot more supporters than haters 😉
My advice to you , is for you and your wife, to come here and start a garden for me. I live in ohio, it won't be that far. Also come back every month to check out the progress and see what might need done. 😂You guys are great. Thanks for all the tips and help you give. Much appreciated. God bless.
Love vacuuming the squash bugs! So satisfying! ❤😂
I know right 😁
I've been composting the 2nd way for about 35 years, and my garden soil is VERY healthy! Nice video!
Love it!
SOUNDS GREAT NOWWWW. HELPPP PLEASE. WHAT IS THE SECOND WAY?????? THEYVE USED AND YOU. USE GREAT FOR 35YRS
I am not a newbie to gardening and pretty knowledgeable but I learn a little something else all the time, also love the farm homestead space and you do a great job on edits and artistry in your vids you guys are naturals! Look past the naysayers and ill willed comments. I’ve added you guys to my following mostly because I like you guys and your style. Keep up the hard work and it will work for you, you guys have something special! I feel like watching your videos are like watching a huge network show. Really! ✌🏻🙏🏼❤️
Such high compliments! Thank you!
I love this family. I find myself binging their videos instead of streaming movies as I embark on my first outdoor garden journey this year. Michelle is the reason I bought a drying rack thing ($30 bucks?) with like 10 levels instead of the several hundred dollar dehydrator. Michelle, I'm studying herbalism as a beginner, so everything you've said about nasturtium, is spot on! You've mentioned natural wellness through herbs in several videos and I'm so here for it!! Lastly, this family is the reason I bought several books on canning/preserving/drying, etc so I can plan to enjoy my harvests over the winter. I even got my mom excited about your channel. I have so much respect for how you are delivering this invaluable information, the love and respect you have for each other and the decency you show us in every video. I'm typing too much, lol. On to the next video!!
Wow, thank you so much! You really dove in headfirst and I love that for you 😁❤️
The hose tools and the vacuum for the squash bugs are my favorite. Genius.
💪
I'm putting that dewalt vacuum on my gift list for myself. I hate "stink" squash bugs. Question: how do you empty them from the vacuum so they die?
@@judyanderson8782 Sweet! You can empty them into a bucket of soapy water.
We finally bought a hose reel to make life a little easier. Game changer! Thank you! We love your videos! Please keep posting! 🙏 👍💕
YES! One of those "Why didn't I get this sooner?" moments.
Yes! Exactly! 💕
Gardening is an adventure
For sure 😏
I have watched your videos for several months, i so appreciate your hours and days you both put in, a great inspiration .
Thank you Mary! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying it. Makes it all worth it 😁
I love your description of your compost pile...
My grandparents, who lived through the Great Depression (here in Australia) had a massive perpetual compost pile.
Every day, Grandma would throw all the kitchen scraps onto it...
Every year, it would produce THE best pumpkins!
Sounds like a great memory. Thanks for sharing!
Growing power to the gardeners.
You can get a brass shut-off to screw on the end of your hose, then screw your quick disconnect onto the shut-off. It allows you to connect hoses, sprayers, or sprinklers without going back to the faucet to shut the water off. You also don't get soaked disconnecting one device and connecting another.
Good idea for sure.
I’m newish to your channel and I watch a lot of homestead videos. Yours are my favorite. You guys work so hard, do things with excellence and authenticity and generously share what you learn. Thank you for excellent content and for being lights in the world! Really love you guys 😁💕
Thank you so much! It really means a lot to hear that.
We are glad we found your channel. Y’all are doing great with your content, your plants look healthy and you seem to have bountiful harvests. Keep sharing. Ignore the rude comments from the couch gardeners; it’s not worth the energy being spent there. That goes for experts with attitude as well. ~ Rob
Thanks so much! Wise words 😊
LOVE THE POTATOE. FORK. NICE WIDE REALLY LIFTS POTATOES UP TO PICK. KALE AN CLAY TO SPRAY ON GOOD IDEA NETTING OVER KEEP BUGS OUT LIKE PEOPLE MOSQUITOS NETTING TO SLEEP AT NITE. SMART.
Amen to the watering wand!
tractor supply is owned by Blackrock. Some youtubers say they have bought chicken feed from them and their chickens stopped laying. Everything is so impressive. You two are brilliant, and what a team!
Thank you 😊
Any major chain today is owned by Blackrock, Vanguard or State Street. And they are all the same because they also own each other. FYI
How disingenuous. Typical conspiracy theorist. They own 8.9% of the company, not even a majority shareholder.
You two have inspired @IdahoFamrkids to keep on trying homesteading. They are planning a bigger garden for next year.
My one daughter has been trying making jam.
My son is excited about our first milk cow.
Thank you for sharing
That’s so cool! Glad to be a part of it.
Some people can be very rude and jealous, just ignore them love to see how they would cope. Im sorry Some people just annoy me they just can't be happy for other people. That work so hard to try to make their living. Just you two carry on the way you're doing i think your amazing.
You're really getting dialed in! Your content is awesome! My favorite is watching you just figure it out. Keep up the good work! Old methods and tools rock!! 😊❤
Thank you!! Right on 😊
You two are really a breath of fresh air❤
I'm glad that Melnor wand is working for you. The one I have leaks from every place possible. It's hard to buy consistenly high-quality stuff.
Yes, I agree, the one I bought leaks to no end. I got more water on me than the plants. Cut the thing up and went in the garbage.
We planted 4 grape plants about 20 yrs ago, used a cattle panel as a trellis. Initially we tied up the runners, and have done nothing else, a small tree is even growing up next to the panel. No pruning or anything. Always loaded with grapes, I used to make jelly for the kids, this year just fed to chickens. I'm no expert, but to me it's carefree. Not the prettiest, but it works.
Well that's cool! 😊 there is hope for us then 😉
I love your videos on tools that you use that make gardening and homesteading more manageable! Great job!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😊
Actually seeing mistakes is very educational. There are questions so many don't even know need to be asked until someone else shows their way. Hope that made sense.
Keep up the good work. You are using MANY of the right tools for the job. We have 10,000 SF of organic gardens on our homestead/mini-farm, and the right tools make all the difference. You are going to love the oscillating wheel hoe attachment. We have three double-wheel hoes with various attachments. I also have a Japanese hand hoe that looks just like yours. Some day when you get a garden tractor, make sure you get a potato buster. You can put your potato fork to other uses. Thanks for sharing your homestead with those of us that love gardening and homesteading.
Sounds great! Thanks for watching 😊
You did great on the grapes. You are spot on. I did mine wrong 3 years ago. lol
Haha thanks! Good to know 😊
And thank you again for sharing content that’s so helpful to those of us in search of answers cheering you on! You’re stuff looks brand new because you take care of it;) what’s wrong with that? Should it look busted? It just goes to show that people out there have these ideas that homesteaders should be living and looking like the homeless- busted and wretched looking…. WRONG TROLL… all of it can be done with style and humbleness. You definitely have my back;)
God Bless you and your little tribe!
I agree.. I'm not into the "redneck farmer" look 😏 Thanks for the support!
I’m very grateful for all the information you both share about your experience with farming and personal lives. So let me be one of those people to say to anyone jumping on the comments and talking nonsense about you guys having money or faking it or brand new stuff… I’m from the belly of the beast NYC… my original words won’t be kind but because this is a family friendly channel - I’ll just say to those people STEP OFF MIND YOUR BUSINESS AND KEEP IT MOVING. Let people live their lives peacefully and go back under the rock to which you came!
Haha thank you so much! Glad we have you on our side 😉
You are doing great job, I can never be near doing what you do. If you see mean comments, it only means that your channel is growing and thus trolls and people who breaths negativity will surely drop comments everywhere just to hurt others. Just ignore and forget that you read their comments and only remember that they added to your views and so it's all good 😂
Thank you! Comments like yours make up for it 😊
In garden you need what is Best on your plot each garden is different biosystem and all you can do is try to fit The Best for your conditions👍
Thanks for sharing…will you do a compose video?
Please let’s support and give good vibes. No need to give bad comments. Not trying to offend no one…we living in times we’re there’s a lot of bad and nice to see people doing something and sharing🙏🏻
Well said 😊
YOU ALL HAVE WORKED REALLY HARD. AND SAVED IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE YOU MIGHT HUGE ENJOY OLDER COUPLE VISITED BY BEN A JOURNALIST VISITING THEM IN MOLOKAI. THEY RAISED 4 GIRLS LIVING OFF GRID IN MOLOKAI. REALLY AWESOME LIKE YOU TWO HOPE YOU CAN CK THEM
YOUVE BOTH BEEN CREATIVE. WHAT. KIND. OF SCISSORS. GARDEN KITCHEN SCISSORS. EXCELLENT YOUR. A. WORK.IN PROGRESS. ARENT WE ALL ???
YOU ALL.DONT HAVE TO GO TO A GYMN
Y'all are doing a fantastic job. One of my "game changer" tools in the garden was a weed burner. Particularly with hitting the areas where squash bugs took over.. I feel your pain. But I just love the vacuum idea! Well done!
I got a weed burner for our driveway, but I’m always scared I’m gonna start a spreading fire 😂
I really enjoy your videos. You two are such hard workers. I have been a gardener forever... and there is no such thing as one right way. You doing what works for you in the garden, is working just fine!!😍
Thank you so much!
It’s such a shame RUclips has gone down the Facebook road ! Everyone has to have something negative to say ! I say your all doing a great job ..I enjoy your channel from outback Western Australia.
Thanks so much! Good to have you here 😊
Great show! That’s a lot of work! More work than most folks realize. Just started a new homestead in the ozarks of Missouri. Just subbed up. 👍
You got that right! Thank you. Good luck on your journey!
On the farm we use horse hoof trimmers to prune the raspberry rows. After cutting the dead vine you can grab it with the trimmer to pull it out of the row.
For your carrots, have you seen the dropseeder? As devices for getting a whole lot of tiny seeds perfectly spaced over a garden bed go, it's winning. Instead of rows to thin and empty space between rows, all of a sudden you have a patch, and every seed has the amount of space it needs to grow to its full potential.
Really nice to live in a rural village near the house with all kinds of crops and can raise cattle, chickens, ducks with beautiful nature, thanks for the video is really good 👍😍
Yes!
Found your channel last night, you guys are Amazing. Your videos are packed with practical, useful information. Best wishes for the future.
Thanks! Welcome here!
Garden hoses with appropriate fittings are good.
Self-watering wicking beds are next level. It's the equivalent of putting a float valve on your cattle water troughs instead of having to cart water every day.
But yeah, they're not cheap.
Cog Hill Family farm has two videos up about training their blackberry bushes on wires like you are doing with your grapes and it worked great! One was ‘We need to give them a haircut’ and the other was ‘Big day in the garden’ ( probably not the exact titles) lol He used a certain kind of blackberry and the berries grew huge! Hope you can watch the videos I felt like I could do it after watching them.
Sweet thanks! I’ll have to check it out.
I give my empathy to you concerning other peoples bitter, and controlling hearts. People today just have to tell everyone else how to live, and what to do, and where to spit and when you can sniff the air, but I lived on a farm most all my life, and we lived just the way you are, by trial and error, and we did just fine. Just a thought, we learned that if we nourished our soil to much, with alot of compost, our plants grew like they were on steroids; tall and lush, but with small & little crops. I will say, both of your trials and errors, with all of the studying, and thinking things through that you do to improve, and better what you do, is the very thing that make your videos so inviting and pleasurable to watch. Thank you. Ken Troutdale OR.
Appreciate it, Ken!
Agree with your comment on use of a tiller - sometimes it's just necessary to use power tools.
I like the way you showed what was "not so hot" and then what was way better. Very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
No advice from me---my garden has gone wild this year and my new grapes look just like yours!! God bless y'all and keep growing.
Haha great 😏
Great Video!! 🙂 One suggestion on pruning the grape vines in the future is to trim them when dormant. It's usually before April up north. Grape vines can 'bleed' heavily once they start their growth in the spring. It sets them back. I learned that in a university ag course and consistently use that method on my 15 grape vines. 😉
Good to know!
I use neem oil and basic H from Shaklee (I think any natural soap would work), but if I spray the base of the squashes, it will keep them away. BUT, it washes off if it rains. It also doesnt last long on the plant. I usually spray with the neem mix almost daily. Whether it's Japanese beetles, aphids, squash beetles, rabbits, deer, etc... they HATE the taste of neem oil!
I have to admire you young people! I i really enjoy watching the process and progress you two and your family grow and share your lives with us. I'm over the hill but i still grow a garden. When i was a teenager my dad bought a 5 acre farm in Florida. I grew up in Michigan and in Florida. Our farm we had a milk cow which i always milked her myself. My mom didn't know what you could make with all that cow's milk so most went to the dog's and cat's. We also had laying hens, beef cow, my horse and a shetland pony and her baby. We never had pig's. We also had gosts. Those were a pain in the rear so i would never ever want goat's again. We had an awesome garden as well. I pretty much indulged myself into the garden and farm animals. I loved it and i love watching your family and all that you all do! Keep up the good work because y'all are awesome!!
Thank you so much 😊 Love hearing your story!
Ty for reading it!
I like using a Rototiller also. Especially when we are first preparing a garden bed for the first time in that spot. It breaks up the hard ground and after that is done you can add compost and healthy dirt and mix it all together. Most generally after the first time I don’t use it again in that same bed. But a Rototiller definitely have a place in gardening. I know they have been tainted as taboo but so be it. I use them.
Right on!
I've gardened for so many years and if I count helping my mother when I was a kid, then it's been 60 plus years. I've always tilled the garden at the beginning of spring, just like mom, and then used a hoe for making my rows and weeding. Never tilled real deep. Just too hard on my back and joints now, so my husband put in 19 raised beds this year, just 2x6's on the ground but landscape fabric between them all and man, such a back saver. Just couldn't let go of the rows though, so I still have 3, 60' long that will prob be the death of me. 😂Type A, can't have ANY grass or weed. 🙄I also invested in a stirrup hoe last year, best tool I ever bought. And this year bought a Japanese gardening sickle that is wonderful for weeding between plants. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much!!
Love it! So cool to hear what you’re doing.
The vacuum!!! Yes! We had an awful stink bug INUNDATION last year!! Not on our plants, per say, but on the outside of our house, oh my! every day id vacuum our house exterior and even the inside walls in one room that they would congregate. So glad winter finally came and they went away. 😮💨 This year it seems better. Vacuums best tool!
Totally!
I love that idea. Gonna try it on the aphids that drives me crazy!
Quick disconnects that rotate /swivel will save your soul. . . Also spending the extra $$ for irrigation PVC saves time which in turn means more money making 🤠
You got it!
Your stuff looking new is called taking care of things. I know what you mean about being a kid in a candy store when you get new tools (I was positively giddy when I bought my steam canner!) All the tools you've shown are great, the wheel hoe looks awesome and I will look to get one when I have ground to plant in. Thanks for another awesome video 😁
I know right 😏
An absolutely newbie when it comes to gardening, but I'm young and need a good and healthy hobie
Go for it! Learn as you go and have fun 😊
Your gardens look great, do what works for your farm...
Thank you 😊
I love you guys. This show is awesome. This is my dream to have my own farm and to be self sufficient. Your family give me hope
Another thing that helps with the hose-dragging situation is to dig some trenches and put in extra pipes and outlets. You don't need as long a hose if the outlet is right next to where you need it already.
I hope that most comments aren't condescending and judgemental. If they are try to ignore the few and embrace the hopefully many who are positive and encouraging. You do you. Your garden. Your rules.
Appreciate the support.
Can y'all make a video how to build the wooden plant holders?
I have a large community garden plot where the nearest shared spigot is about 300 ft away. You just convinced me that I need to just break down and get a hose reel because, you’re right, dragging those hoses SUCKS!
And I feel ya on the squash bugs. They are my nemesis. I hate those stupid things. The vacuum was ingenious. I’ll have to try the netting next year as well.
Thank you for all of your recommendations.
You're welcome! Hope it works out for ya. The hose reel is the bomb 😏
We’re enjoying your channel! Thanks for sharing. Maybe try companion planting nasturtium and marigolds within your squash and cucumber plants to keep the squash bugs away. The netting you spoke of would have to be so tight a weave to keep those out that it would also keep the pollinators from getting to the blossoms I’d think. Hope this helps. 😊
Yeah, thanks for the tips! Glad you're enjoying the videos 😊
LOL. At the end - "quick, they're getting away!" I was thinking the same thing.😆
With the hose, one thing that helped me out the most was I got a metal wrapped water hose, it is kinkless and tangleless just pull it out and it comes straight out of whatever messy pile or disaster the kids left it in. It's my life saver, I could never go back to a regular hose.
Some comments about your garden. The hoses from the shed to the garden. Maybe look at burying an irrigation line under the grass just enough so you can mow and not deal with the hose problem. Also drip with an automatic timer will do wonders for crop quality. We just planted our storage carrots and beets this week and by late October they will be full size (zone 5b)
You should look into a silage tarp for terminating grass before you till. Tarp/ till/ then covercrop or, till/ tarp/ then covercrop will be more weed free.
Floating row cover on squash, cucs, and zucchini, taken off as soon as they start flowering will do the trick. We still get squash bugs and cucumber beetles but not enough to effect the crop finishing.
Thanks for all the tips!
I would suggest buring a hose from the barn to the garden area with post with a regular garden faucette with a snap plug. I could be blown at the end of the season to empty the water.
We’re on the same page guys, and funny we buy seeds the same place and I used a tiller this year, there’s a time and place for each tool, well done!
Really excellent content, as always. Thank you so much! With love from Croatia!
One of my friends has a metal garden hose. They're on the expensive side, but they don't kink or break, and when the weather is cold outside they're not stiff. I wish my mom had one of those when she was gardening a lot. That hose real is nice. We went through a couple of flimsy plastic standing ones, and they break after a few uses.
I love your videos so much and the information you share! Thank you guys for letting us be a part of your experience ❤
Thank you! So glad you enjoy.
Thank you Michelle! We just starting our tomato seedlings in the southern hemisphere and that was very motivating.
Sorry was meant to be on the tomato video 😁
Glad to inspire! Good luck!
GOD bless you guys, God bless your family. Wise people.
Thank you 😊 He is good.
I recently found your channel and have been enjoying watching your videos. I think you guys are great and your Homestead is realistic. I love how you admit you don't like getting up early, and how if you have the technology/ electrical tools to get the job done faster than you should. I agree. I get more done that way and i don't have a Homestead. I have a garden on my in town property. I can what i can. The garden is mostly for fresh use. I'm trying to find a way to scale up production in my small space. I do have apple trees though. I purchase a lot of what i can but it is still better than commercially canned goods! Great job and thanks for sharing your lives and teaching your kids how to take care of themselves.
Thank you 😊 Love that you're doing what you can. Blessings on your journey!
Hi Codi, interesting video about tools to help make your garden experience better. When you guys create videos you both come across very confident and well organized with the right tools to get your jobs done more efficiently. Instead of thinking that you have so much because of the blood, sweat and tears you go through each day people think you just throw money and it magically appears. I hope this comment makes sense as I wasn't sure exactly how to word it. Today the American people have gotten so soft and just don't want to put in an honest days work for and honest days pay. What is special about at Potato Fork as opposed to a Pitchfork? From the video it looks very similar.
I wondered about that 🤔 too!
You're right on, Ben! Totally made sense. I'm glad for the work ethic I was raised with, and I hope to instill that into my children.
The digging fork is stronger. The tines are thicker/wider. The tines are a little more straight. You can really move the dirt. A regular pitch fork bends easier, and doesn't lift the dirt as much.
I have been gardening 40 year on land that was stony, hard clay soil. I tilled twice a year, not a deep till but still tilled. I tilled in leaves, compost, lime. Now I no till, but earlier nope. I also, found many tools at rummage sale
Love it!
I just found you all I like it. Thank you. Used to do this, too old, enjoy watching you all
Always good to mention what growing zone you live in for newbees.
Just found your videos. I enjoy them so much. You both are amazing young people. I'm in my 50's live on homestead and your teaching me alot. Thank you
Hey that’s great! We can all learn 😊
12" blade will really give you a work out so be prepared also use padded gloves for your hands ! But this is a great tool for the garden 👍!!
Thanks for the tips!
I love the idea of netting over your plants BUT that would prevent bees from getting in to pollinate the flowers.
Yeah, I think people who do it take the netting off later so the bees can get to it 🤷♂️ There's enough drawbacks that I'm not sure if that's the route we'll take.
I would just ignore those yapping in the comments. Look at them, investigate whether it's actually helpful, and let them go. Negative people strike out at you because their life sucks and they want to project their unhappiness on you so they feel better. If someone says this way is better, the odds are there is info out there. Look and let go. I am a new sub and I am enjoying your content. I am disabled so love watching others garden and homestead. You two are doing great. I have been a scratch cooker most of my life. I started preserving later in life. I get thrilled each time I see a younger person embrace scratch/preserve type cooking and storing food.
Thanks so much for saying all that. Glad you’re here for the journey 😊
Oh man I need that tiller. I bought one that is junk. Great video!
It works pretty well.. It's pretty old so I do have to fix it more often than I'd like.
we bought an old vineyard for our homestead and the old pictures I saw when the vineyard was open showed the same thing that you are doing with your grapes.
Good to know 😊
Invest in the hoses that collapse after you turn the water off… super light, naturally drain and a small kid can carry them. I’ll never use a traditional hose again. Have you considered running you some water lines to various places?
Oh, and Guinea fowl will pick all the bugs off your vegetable plants without scratching or messing with the plant… unlike chickens.
I've seen those hoses.. we should try em. I have water about as close to places as makes sense. We were just talking the other day about trying Guineas.. Maybe we will!
I love how you guys try to keep homesteading as simple as possible. You are very humble and transparent. You accomplish a lot and your garden looks prolific! Do you have any issues with moles/voles (eating my potatoes) or rabbits (eating everything)? I set up a low 2 strand electric perimeter for rabbits but I think they jump right through it. Blessings, Dawn
Thank you so much! We don’t have much problem with either. We used to have moles, but they just went away 🤷🏻♂️
I'm new to your channel, I just subscribed I just wanted to say you've got a really great and polished presentation style and it makes your videos really easy to watch but also we're very informative so keep up the good work, thanks!
Thank you so much!
New subscriber here. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, tools, and techniques with us.
Quick cheap suggestion.....do what I did if you are near a Dollar Tree. Dollar Tree sells "American Seed Company" branded vegetable and fruit seeds. They carry 3 different lettuces that I have found so far. As well as a bunch of other choices.
They are all the same sizes and weights. Walmart packages are different colors (blue and yellow). Dollar Tree and Ace Hardware packages are an exact match. Dollar General also carries them, but the package prices vary based on what you want?
Bottom line, Dollar Tree is the absolute cheapest, and I have never had seeds that didn't germinate!
Dollar Tree sells them for .25 cents each package
Walmart sells the same ones for .50 cents
Ace Hardware sells the same ones for .99 cents each
Dollar General prices vary.
I keep these on hand, in case I inadvertently ran out of something that I needed to plant.
*Always verify you get the current planting season dates. I have found some dated for 2017 and 2019 seasons in 2023.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for the tip!
That tiller is a beast. Grew up using that one at my grandparents.
Thanks for the great ideas! I especially love the vacuum idea 😆 I’m gonna see how the aphids like it! 😤😂
Right on!
Your mau looks like a mini lion! I love them!
Really enjoying your guys videos! reminds me a lot of special times I had growing crops with my papa. And the way y’all handle yours livestock is great!! Very interested in seeing how you guys would deer hurt.
Glad you enjoy!
Loved your video! I have a suggestion. Run PVC pipes under ground to your different areas and then fasten a hose there for your watering instead of cranking your nice little hose winder all the time. I have a question about your wheel hoe. will it cut thru grass instead of using a tiller since I don't have a tiller?
The problem is we’d have to have pipes EVERYWHERE. I’ve heard of people putting in a new plot with a wheel hoe. I think they used the cultivator teeth. It’d be a lot of work, but I guess it might do it.
Thanks for posting the links on the tools that actually work. I have had poor luck with the quick connectors that I have already tried, so immediately purchased the ones that you have recommended.
Awesome! Hope they do well for you!
Squash bugs are the worst! I hate them! They come from the soil, though. I tried netting and had zero luck! I'm new to your channel and have been binging videos!
Well that’s good to know. Needless to say we’ll be doing some serious research this winter 😏 Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Great video my friend the only reason i dont use a tiller is i dont own one
Great vdeo..as always..like your style...all of your new purchases are so helpful..the hose holder is quite stylish...have a good harvest season! 💚🌞🏠🪻🌱
Thank you so much!
That vacuum is a great idea, I went outside at lunch and saw the same mass of squash bugs - along with some blister beetles.
I sprayed with pyrethrin (sp?). We’ll see if it works
Super frustrating! Hope it works for ya.
