Our NEW 1 acre homestead
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- We built our new house on a 1 acre block last year in S.E. QLD and we have started to settle in with some chickens, fruit trees and veg patch. Unfortunately I’ve just had back surgery (2 weeks ago) and so the homestead has been on hold for the last 3 months; but I’m back outside now and ready to go.

BOOOOM!!! Man you got it all planned out & it looks so awesome! Love the idea of rotating the chickens/garden back & forth. You got to keep posting vids of the progress! -Jason
Thank you for watching mate.
So much potentual for awesomeness here man. Looking forward to watching it develop!
Wow you have so much land to play with. Very lucky and you can grow tons of things there. Happy gardening Tony
Thanks mate. A lot of work ahead but hopefully it all goes well.
@@thesunnysidehomestead6392 Im sure it will be brilliant
Fingers crossed! Going to just document the journey and see how we go.
The kids area looks fantastic! Good to have the vege/chook patch where it is but you might need some herbs closer to the house for cooking. You can manage herbs in a quite pretty way. I'd double the height of your vege beds as well... or more eventually. I did two sleepers and cursed at the amount of dirt I had to get in, but remember the eventual aim is to get them to about a metre high with compost. Plan for a fantastic compost setup near you house (in a hidden spot). It won't smell but you don't want to walk to far. Final point, is that I'd get my trees in first - and more than you are currently thinking. Fruit trees can provide a lot of shade eventually in our summer. Ya coup looks great. Hopefully, I haven't been just too helpful mate. LOL.
Gday Marty here from Martys Garden. Look at that awesome space you have to prepare.
Thanks for sharing with me. You must be over the moon?
I would be really looking into the design, so you can grow chemical free and keep pests managed by the wildlife.
Windbreaks and native verge to attract birds, wildlife corridors etc so they can come and hunt and be safe.
Keep me posted if you have time, as I am also on the lookout for upcoming stories for my show and newsletter.
Cheers
Marty
ps: How often will the videos come out?
Cheers for checking it out mate! I hadn’t thought about native verges. I’ll have to look at that for sure. Do you mean planting native garden beds amongst the vegetables and fruit trees? My plan was to have all natives along the back fence. You’ve got me thinking now! I’m hoping to get one video out each week but for now I’m trying to get a few out.
@@thesunnysidehomestead6392 a native verge is on the boundaries, or a small windbreak near the orchard or veggie patch. They can also contain edible permanent trees, which is a good idea. Large edible trees like Avocados can do well like this. You can sprout your own from seed and see if they grow well before buying the grafted varieties. They take much longer to fruit, but are awesome in the verge. Avo's you can prune back too!
Awesome idea mate. I’ll have to redesign the back area to include it! I’ll post a video of the current orchard over the next few days.
You to have a key to go outside 🤔
You lock yourself IN the house?! Sorry, man, but you are in the wrong place. Nice space. Wrong place.
Unfortunately yes. Always stories of break ins around acreage.
