I saw where you have a new show on BBC ITV Player. I wish BBC would allow people outside the UK to access this service. Meanwhile, I’ll watch YT. Enjoy it very much.
Thank you so so much for the share 😁 I’ve given you guys a huge shout out in my next vlog about my chicken and duck system. I’ve said it before but I wouldn’t have got chickens if it wasn’t for you guys. Peace and hugs from Scotland 🙏🏿💙😊
Beautiful views! It would be hard for me to get work done, I would always be gazing at the vistas. It must be stunning when the heather is in bloom. One of the gorgeous spongy mosses you were stepping on must have been the growing sphagnum moss (growing peat), and so exciting to see you have sundews. Maybe blueberries and cranberries might be in your future... they like peat. Thank-you for all the botany and wildlife (owls and golden eagles!!!) details. Looking forward to more.
Aww thank you for watching 😁 I so can’t wait to get stuck in. I’ve moved house which doesn’t have internet but I should be back with more vlogs next week. Lots of plans for this place 💙
As a gardener with a tiny front garden in the inner city in Australia I can’t imagine a more different landscape and climate to be growing in. Looking forward to watching this Croft and channel grow.
Bees are overwintered here in Alberta 🇨🇦in their hives. That are very well wrapped to keep out the cold -30c. Not sure if it would work in a damp climate. Good luck with your venture.
wow - I sooooo need to catch up with your content - I didn't realise you'd got this! I hope you had a good new year mate, and that your 2021 is a million times better than last year!
2020 has been manic for us. But mostly good to be honest mate. Moving up here was by far the best thing we’ve done. Roll on soil improving and tree planting 😁💙
Moss & lichen can be reduced on the trees by changing the ph, & reducing acid by introducing fresh dry wood ash, & spraying the trees with copper sulfate that will wash into soil later. Introducing seaweed will also bring copper & other essential trace elements.
Gorgeous spot, love how much fun you are having out there with it! Good luck with everything kicking off over there, you're at a very exciting spot! Looking forward to seeing how everything keeps panning out.
Are there any fish in the loch? I love how much variety your place has. There is so much potential and it is just beautiful! That old building is so beautiful! It would be so awesome to incorporate it into a new home.
I’m not sure about fish but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were 😅 it does have loads of lily pads. Just found out that we the other stone building behind me 22:43 Will defo make it into something beautiful 😁
Wow, what a stunning place you have there, those drone shots are really amazing! Your plans are very exciting, looking forward to following your journey, it looks like it will be hard going but so rewarding! Oh and a double thumbs up for the bees 🐝🐝
Have you done a PDC to think through a whole site design? Verge Permaculture has a site map generator that includes info on contour, water shed, sun and shade aspect and frost pockets and more.
I haven’t got that far yet 😅 but thank you for the verge permaculture site. I’ll defo look into it. I get overwhelmed when thinking about the whole place so just doing stage by stage 😁
The sea breeze + salt spray is going to be a constant battle & heart break for getting trees going. Wonder what the native hedges looked like from 100s of years ago? Haven't seen G.Lawton do a coastal permaculture farm. Guiding the rainwater around the house foundation will take some ingenuity. Wonder if you had considered a pasture/colony style rabbitry as another farm animal? The elevation changes could lend itself to a self flushing duck pond/quackaponics system. Someone else posted one on YT. Wonder if peat berms could channel the wind and give microtomes for some zone jumping plantings. Neat looking project. BOL
Some of the coastal hedges have either been attacked by deer or sheep. The protected ones have done pretty. Average growth for willow is around 2ft. Defo want to collect rain water and I must remember that everything has a pinch of salt 😅 I have thought about rabbits but they’re everywhere. Will think of ways of luring them in. And yes to all the other things your mentioned 😊🙏🏿 glad you’re here for the journey 💙
Sent over by Sean as well. Braw looking croft, some very interesting contours and love the wee sheiling. Willows, get them as a starter for the trees, they'll take to the soil a bit better and as an initial wind break, they're no bad. Maybe look into a firearms licence as the deer will be a massive pest, albeit a tasty pest. Culling a few could be beneficial. All the best and I do hope someone has told you about the midgies and clegs that will be out in force in a few months!
We have willow lined up ready and waiting to be planted 😁 My father in law has a gun but I think you have to right to the council or some rubbish just to go ahead with it 🙄 And yes I have dealt with clegs and midges. Shame I can’t shoot them 😅💙
@@growinginthewind Its either the Council or the land/Estate owner, well worth finding out who and have a chat. Can't knock free food and getting deer skin coats for the kids! Bog Myrtle is apparently useful in the garden and near the house to deter the wee buzzing swines, out on the moors, well, take a cigar or a hazmat suit....
@@michaelsinclair8279 I’m a freegan at heart so I’ll be keen 😁 I’ve heard of Myrtle but not bog. Sounds like it would like it up here. I use to use smoke to deter the clegs on the mainland. I survived 2020 with no bites 😅
Hey hey. Sean sent me. But I love coming in at the beginning of a project, and this one is unlike anything I'm familiar with... so very interesting. I've been following Trees For Life for several years, so I am familiar with the need to keep out the deer and sheep in order to bring back the trees in Scotland. In one of their vids someone said something about planting an extra sort of sacrificial row of trees and shrubs in the direction of the prevailing winds as a windbreak to allow the other trees to get established more easily. Don't know if that will be helpful. It's really cool to have access to the shore, as I am also familiar with the traditional (some say 10,000 year) practice of collecting seaweed to build soil. Really looking forward to seeing what you can get going there.
It will either be pampas grass or phormium for my sacrificial barrier 😁 They both do really well up here. Seaweed is a new one for me. Mainly used horse manure with crops and ornamentals on the mainland but looking forward to seeing what seaweed brings 😊 glad you’re here for the journey 🙏🏿💙
@Our Green Agenda - happy to be here. I had to look up phormium, but it sounds like both of those are good options. I don't have any personal experience using seaweed either, but the vikings were impressed enough with the practice that they brought it with them to Iceland. Take care. And thanks for the reply.
I’ll have raised beds. Will sheetmulch most places I’m going to plant a crop but will experiment planting in peat 😊 sheetmulching vlog up next week so stay tuned 💙
Hi from Birmingham uk I am so glad I found your channel. I have been hunting for my little bit of a homestead but can't find any with land space would love a bit of insight in land price in Scotland. I am willing to move. Good luck with your endeavours
Land is way cheaper up here. I saw 34.5 acres in south Uist for around 20k. So well worth the effort but remember the weather isn’t always great but at the same time when it’s good, it’s absolutely amazing 😊💙
@@growinginthewind thanks for your reply I am not even looking to go that big a nice little 1 acre where I could have a large garden and some chicken would do me wonders, I would move NOW! on your travels if you happen to buck up on anything in that size range or little larger please drop me a message thanks in advance
@@angelleecoulson8036 well this house I’m living in at the moment is going on the market in may. It has just under an acre and a small house. It will go up for 120k but I think it’s worth 80-90k. Comes with a shed and 2 parking spaces. The extra 20k would be to get the place insulated a bit more, jazz up the shed and insulate the floor 😊
@@growinginthewind ok why is it priced so high over the worth and would be better/cheaper to buy the land then build? Not that I have any building experience I am going to check out some more of your videos to see if I can view the property, Thank you so much for the information
I wonder if all the water will cause problems with your drive way. Once the plants are gone will running water erode the soil away and ruin your drive way? You won't have a lack of water for your animals 🙂 Does the wind makes it hard to grow yes then?
I was thinking of planting up the sides of the slope with willow. We’ll also have a berm on the road side of the driveway. So I’ll plant that up too. It will be like a swale/driveway 😅 Oh the wind does give us problems. On the mainland, Salix Matsudana can grow 8ft in 6months whereas here, only 2ft. Windbreaks are key up here 😁💙
@@growinginthewind 😄 I'd put money on him coming up with something similar. Minds in the gutter here! I forgot to say in my previous comment too that while eagles on the croft would be cool AF, I'm hoping they're owls. There's something lovely in you having to leave the family at Persica Meadows, only to find a new one on you land in Uist. 💚🦉
Hi mate, great video. I actually wished you talked a bit more about the peat soil :p. I’ve convinced my dad to let me plant up some of his land, but the problem is that the soil is just like yours, peatty and boggy. Holds soooo much water it’s insane. I’m trying to figure out what my first steps should be and how I can transition it to a food forest eventually. I’m thinking I’d have to start with digging drainage? Any advice would be appreciated, cheers.
I worked a piece of land in Surrey for 6 years which was full of clay. Like peat but very sticky. Drainage is a good shout. Heaps of crofter do that here but it’s new to me. My plan of action is to sheet mulch the areas I want to work. Peat is acidic so potash, biochar, seaweed, sand etc will improve the soil big time. I’ll be making a vlog about it in the next coming weeks so stay tuned 👊🏿💙
@@growinginthewind awesome thank you, I’ll be looking out for that. Maybe something you could touch on is how to determine the difference between peat soil or clay soil with poor drainage (or any other types you may think are relevant). Another question on my mind is, is there a way to determine the ph level of peat soil easily, without having to purchase testing equipment. Cheers
One can tell it is windy as it has no trees and any you see will be deformed and crippled . Looking at your land try buying barley and farm reindeer and whiskey I love smoked reindeer
Yeah defo. Safety in numbers basically. But hardy evergreens are the way forward. Check out my quest for cuttings vlogs. I talk about a lot of the future trees there 😁
Good grief man, it's not a bloody "LOCK"! A 'lock' is a security device or the water gate on a canal. You've been welcomed not just into Scotland's islands, but into the previously closed crofting community & I'm sure your knowledge of the earth & exuberance will enrich it. You'll notice that that many more Islanders speak our Gaelic language, despite Westminster's best efforts over 100s of years & you'll have seen how Scots signage allows for both your English language & our traditional Gaelic. Most speak Scots-English & many elders speak Auld Scots, & many generations grew up fearing displacement, enslavement, imprisonment or execution for speaking or hearing our native language, & therefore spoke only English with their children (if they were able), generations suffered the misfortune to have been brought up deprived of their own language. You'll also notice from those signs that words you've used previously aren't actually English - like the word '"LOCH", so it's not pronounced with a hard English "CK" sound, but with a very soft "ch or kh" sound. Please show respect to the people & their language by using the correct word. The people have respected your language for centuries. Good luck with everything.
