17:40 Because $5000 gets you everything to start but the land, it's great to hear people are letting folks like Steven get busy growing food in their yards. Great job Steven, and thanks Kevin.
@Billy Bob The first amendment is before the second and the Trump administration is currently looking to criminalize journalism by indicting Assange as well as crushing mostly peaceful protesting. 4th amendment, we are still being spied on by the government. 5th, self incrimination by bulk data collection. 6th, speedy trial, Assange is being charged with espionage act. 7th, trial by jury Assange doesn't get one. 10th, Trump has been on the wrong side of states rights initially pushing to reopen during the pandemic. That's just the first 10, Trump is also in violation of the emoluments clause for not divesting.
Wow his farm was amazing. I watched both episodes just now. And then went to his channel and realized he’s now in Tennessee! My husband and I are also from Southern California and move to Tennessee three years ago. I have my backyard garden going. So now I’m really catching up on what he’s doing and subscribed to his channel. So glad you shared this!
Steven, I have been a huge fan since your first video. Your explanations are high caliber. You are a natural born teacher. I have learned such a lot from you , as you are one of the very best problem solvers out there. My favourite video was the well considered D E S I G N of your chicken coup. To see the passion fruit shading and mitigating heat and cold, and multiplying your production yield is the icing on the cake. I am sure Bill Mollison would have loved it. Here in Sydney I visited a permaculture (rental). An Avocardo tree was growing out of the chicken run which was on the boundary of three inner city houses. The tree was laden with hass avocados at 4 years (not supposed to start fruiting for 6 or 7 years) , thanks to the chicken poop. The avocardo was shading the chicken house roof. I also really liked the videos you made explaining what you wanted and how you did it....soil prep and irrigation as you started your farming life. Well done with repurposing beer waste streams and your new green house and all those experiments. Congratulations on all your achievements Steven. Regards Sez
I absolutely love the passion fruit vines that are growing over the chicken coop. That's a great idea for all types of vine plants that a person may want to grow!
Here in Ohio, we know a guy who grew morning glory vines in and over his coop. Says Japanese Beetles love them and he shakes bugs into chicken run several times a day, keeping his vegetables safe.
Somebody PLEASE explain: I’m in Florida and passion fruit literally grows in the wild out in blazing sun in basically burning hot SAND. Every time I have tried to dig one up (roots intact) and plant it in my comparably fertile yard, they completely die. Every time. I just don’t get it AT ALL. Any guesses?? 💜
@@LucyJazzy85 Late to the conversation, but it seems like the plants were adapted to growing in sandy and free-draining soil, while your yard's soil might have been too heavy or compacted for them, so the roots couldn't get enough oxygen and rotted away. You would probably get much better results if you planted passion fruit seeds in your yard, since they would adapt to that type of soil as they grew.
Great tips guys. I'm 22 and i wanna open a succulent nursery, found a lot of this info helpful especially the parts about space and making sure of a steady income before quitting your permanent job
This is such a great video! From being out of debt so you can start your own business to asking people around you if you can grow in their space as well. We have been adding raised beds each year in our urban space. This year also expanding to the front yard. These kind of videos get me so excited to continue to expand what we do. I am also going back to school for sustainability and organic gardening degree because of how we want to live and teach others. Keep up the great work!
This video gives me hope, i am just starting out my raised garden bed and in doing research came across this video, i hope to one day be self sufficient , not really to sell but to eat organic, certified organic
I have been establishing garden beds in my back yard, to save money on food and get fresh food, then I saw this video, and it has given me a boost in motivation and idea's. Great job man ! thanks for the content
The two of you together just might be too much lol. Such valuable information! I think someone should touch on the topic of farming/gardening while renting. Most people would love to start but don't own any land. Thanks again for your time and knowledge.
You can easily start in grow bags like he showed. There are various types that hang on walls or fences and off of balconies. I live with my father and have to get permission to put anything into the ground so, I am using raised garden beds and vertical grow bags and intermixing veggies with flowers so as to not look so much like a garden when the HOA police come around lol. Good luck to you, you can do this!
Hello, I have 7acres of land in SoCal and I want to make sure I start things off right. I have had great sucess with container gardening over the past two years. I am really excited to get started my new home purchase. Thank you for teaching us how to become gardeners.
@Epic Gardening Lots of thanks to you and Steven for the info on the cost to set up a small scale organic farm in your backyard. AWESOME, AWESOME CONTENT!
Steven sounds and acts just like a friend of mine who is also named Steven. It's so weird to watch this video, and not see my friend's face on your body. Great video, and thanks for the insight!
We need more people like you guys to teach us how to grow our own food, we are so overpopulated that in order to feed everyone the self sustaining backyard garden is absolutely necessary.Thank you
I love this update, and I remember watching that video and was waiting for more updates but there wasn't any until now! Thanks Kave and Steve for doing this. Very nice plot and good advise. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.
I saw your photo in a recent Gardener's Supply Company catalog of the newly completed design of your previous backyard. Loved the video showing the transition.
Hi Kevin, this is Saeed here from Australia. I really loved the video and the concept especially. Just need to get more info on how to start such a setup for business when you don’t have your own land.
Fantastic, every single element, so thought through and well researched....synergistic, multi purpose. I love your chicken coup design, the passion fruit shading. My passion fruit produced really well in it’s third year, and responded well to pruning (chop and drop). Having the chicken’s fertilising yours, possibly yours will bear earlier and you will have loads but it will need phosphorus, or all that nitrogen will put out a tonne of green growth.
Awesome garden Steven . Living the dream , being outdoors , connecting with the land , and providing for your family . The American Dream . I think people have complicated it soo much . Would love to see you grow a huge cannabis plant lol 🙏🌞💦🌱🌳
he should really think about quail. They can be raised like compost chickens depending on the breed. they can also be sold as chicks if he wants to be a small scale hatchery. (we need more local hatch)
I do no till organic all you need is to get a few really big tarps and some heavy stuff to hold them down and within a three-month period You have a nice plot of usable dirt
My goal is to make a second income off my yard. I already have a large garden but I have more yard I can use. This year I'm going to try selling produce for the first time.
I'm a bit late to this video, but I was wondering what the purpose of putting the loops over the farm beds? Is it to just visually help with the bed spacing and walkways?
I've watched videos done with both of you and I've learned so much, so thank you! Question, how do you keep the rodents and other pests out of the garden?
I have that same type of passion fruit vine and I just compost all the fruit because it is so sour! Lol. I would like to ask Steven if his chickens like the passion fruit? If so I will give them to my son who has chickens. Thanks for another great video!
Some of my passion fruits are sour too but some are super sweet, makes sure to wait until they are wrinkly and changed completely purple. Yes my chickens like to eat passion fruit :) you have to open them for them though.

Interestingly, at least in Springfield mo, there are constantly lots for sale at $5-$7k. usually about .3-.4 acres.

HI, I can give you special vegetable seeds and the value is very high, so you can make much more money. How can I contact you?
Both of these guys are super smart. Faith in humanity restored.
I absolutely love the passion fruit vines that are growing over the chicken coop. That's a great idea for all types of vine plants that a person may want to grow!

Glad to hear it was valuable!
Make sure you noted the part where he only breaks even because he pays literally zero in rent.
@@DrMattHH he says he pays his rent with the business at 15:36 so
This dude got his neighbor to use their backyard for his second gardening (Speech: lvl 100)
Curtis Stone did the same thing. A few years ago he had like 8 different properties where people let him use their backyards.
And Jim Kovaleski!
Lol to the speech lvl joke. 🤣🤣
I'd let this dude garden in my yard if he let me be involved xD

Me too, and let's study together.
I friggen love this guy!!! Such an amazing farmer and businessman!
I love hearing the chickens talking to y'all in the background.
I'm from Maine and am learning alot by watching you. Stay positive and big up life and growing food!
"not popping bottles at thee club"... you spoke to my soul when you said that. You guys are a true inspiration.
Between the 2 of you I spend a lot of spare time watching and learning from your videos.... Thank you for all the work y'all put in.... God bless
Awesome progression. Love the polyculture herb/pollinator garden. Looks so good!

@Epic Gardening Lots of thanks to you and Steven for the info on the cost to set up a small scale organic farm in your backyard. AWESOME, AWESOME CONTENT!
So cool seeing it 2 years later! Steven has turned into a muscle man!
chain fences, another great place to grow passionfruit! Great work!
Awesome update!!!! I would love to know more about your day to day farming chores. Really enjoying learning from you both.
Very inspiring. Great idea to come back and check in after 2 years.
Hey Epic Garden Man Thank you. Enjoy watching your videos. Have a blessed 7th day. Exodus 20:8-11
i just started to watch this channel, and could watch this video almost after that one 2 years ago :]
Amazing
Garden crush!! You are doing a great job. I watched the first video and I love your chicken coop so much. Keep up the great work.
Very inspiring video on all levels. Congrats to both of you for succeeding and sharing your stories.
Man, it's amazing to see how much more comfortable and confident he is in front of the camera.
Steven sounds and acts just like a friend of mine who is also named Steven. It's so weird to watch this video, and not see my friend's face on your body. Great video, and thanks for the insight!
Nice to see your urban farm is still going
Awesome! I absolutely love what you are doing Steven; you are a real encouragement to me in my gardening in my yard.
We need more people like you guys to teach us how to grow our own food, we are so overpopulated that in order to feed everyone the self sustaining backyard garden is absolutely necessary.Thank you
I had a tree collard up here in L.A. for a few years. Grew to about 10ft, constant source of food and juicing material.
Thank you for the inspiration you both have given me to plant my own food. My soil is sand here in Central Florida. I have a container garden. 🥦🥬🍓🍍🥕🍋
That's so great! Best of luck in the garden this season!
Make sure to add some healthy compost to it and start improving that soil!
Thank you for the update! Very cool! By the way, I like your Uncle Jims t-shirt. :-) I've got the same shirt.
Awesome videos !!!
Thank you guys very much. !!!
We need more people like you !
Comfrey is amazing in compost and topically is wonderful for Rheumatoid arthritis. Steeped in oil it makes a great wrinkle reducer and moisturizer.

Hard to recognize Steven without his hat 😆
You have a podcast 👍👍 I just joined and gave it 5 ⭐️ . Thanks for your videos I am learning so much more ch love from 🇨🇦
Love ya both. Thank you guys.
Love to see more collabs!
Nice work
Hi Kevin, this is Saeed here from Australia. I really loved the video and the concept especially. Just need to get more info on how to start such a setup for business when you don’t have your own land.
I am so ready guys!
I learned a lot from this tour!
Thank you both for great videos great information and great inspiration.
Brows still on fleek 💯
Great video and thank you
for sharing! 🤗😊 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
so cool to see the progress .... lots of great info .....carry on
If everyone had their own farm maybe pandemics wouldn't be this bad, right?
Awesome!! love the information you guys put together!

Yes. It is mash it is called. The sugary liquid before fermentation is started.
What a smart young couple! Very inspiring!
They aren't gay..
@@peterodriguez9500 who said they were? Steven has a partner, off camera
Me and my girlfriend is what I would typically refer to as a smart young couple lol. I just just fucking with you, pulling your leg.
cool, guys. thanks for sharing
Another great video. Hope to see more on this farm.
Nice job Steven !
so amazing to be productive in just less than 1 hectare
Steven, do you liquify the chicken poo and cuttings to feed the garden? Or do you buy fertilizer? Your garden is epic! Thank you for sharing!
Another easy way to cool your chickens is to fill and freeze milk cartons or your mash in ice cream buckets and set or hang them in the run.
Awesome garden Steven . Living the dream , being outdoors , connecting with the land , and providing for your family . The American Dream . I think people have complicated it soo much . Would love to see you grow a huge cannabis plant lol 🙏🌞💦🌱🌳
Both you dudes are hella cool
Had to manually search for this guy's channel. Not sure why you wouldnt link it in description
Congrats on 1 mill subs
Cool neighbors!
It would be so nice to have four years update this spring... 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 pleeeeease
Steve must of gotten some of that super thrive on them eyebrows!
yep seems like a great guy with some great caterpillars :)
I live on an acre of land with my parents and yall are tempting me 😅
To all those making fun of eyebrows including me, I tip my hat to you sir, you are smart dedicated and succeeding.👍❤
Wow! Thank you for sharing.
The first video actually got me into worm farming and worm tea, lol.
Awesome job!! So many great ideas. Keep at it!

Awesome 👍
Regarding the chickens, would you consider digging a hole under the coop to help keep them cool?
"Advocation" is a term not often used now; we need to remember that what we do to support ourselves should be enjoyable and furfilling

My goal is to make a second income off my yard. I already have a large garden but I have more yard I can use. This year I'm going to try selling produce for the first time.
That's fantastic! It's a great way to make some side income. Keep expanding ;)
Good luck it's an admirable goal 😎

I'm a bit late to this video, but I was wondering what the purpose of putting the loops over the farm beds? Is it to just visually help with the bed spacing and walkways?
I’m a bit late to respond but I believe they are row covers. You can drape a tarp over the loops and protect the crops.
Wish I had that much warm and big yard
You and me both!
Whats growing over your coop ? I love this. .I live on a small little land 1/3 acre roughly...iam doing my biggest garden here this year
