I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

lovely to see a family bow their heads in thanksgiving...God is so good!
put your blade down before you pull the stumps will make it so the machine won't rock make sure blade is facing the stump will give you more pulling force on the stump on the small stumps you can use the blade to push them out
Great video as always. Loved seeing your family praying together.
Nothing like playing with big boys toys. Learn as you go and enjoy yourself doing it ☺
Pointer #1. Those roots you got off to pick up at the 8:05 mark. Use the thumb to pluck them up. That's what it's for. It will save fuel, hours and energy.
Most thing we wanted for many many years now is our own small farm/homestead. We should be moving to the raw land area in a few weeks hopefully now. It's been years in the making.
I always love your videos. what makes you stand out from the rest is you have good content and you upload a video every day. Something myself and my family have always wanted to do is start our own homestead and now we are on our way to doing that!. In the next 2 weeks after I clear an acre of our 5 acre land we also are going to plant garlic. I ordered 5 pounds of garlic from an organic farm in Quebec for 60 bucks Canadian. I don't know if that is a good deal but I figure it's a start. Next spring our goal is to get some chickens, pigs and goats. I worked a job for 23 years and I wanted the life style you and your family have and after 6 days in a truck with only what we could fit in a 6x10 cargo trailer 3 kids and a dog we made our way across Canada. The journey has been exciting so far and we have no regrets about our decision!. Thank You for sharing your journey with us and helping us learn how to live the modern homesteading life!.
Congrats
One helpful thing, might have already been mentioned, would be to walk around with bright marker paint (sprays out of top when pointed down) and spray all the stumps. This would make it easy for you to know where to move the excavator and hit them one after the other. :-)
Love the channel and my Lumnah Acres sweatshirt is always worn with pride (we even had a few people ask about it when my wife and I bought our 2 new Subaru Crosstreks).
Great stuff Al. Use the thumb when pulling the stumps. Just grab the tops of them like your hand and pull straight up. It does less damage to the soil going straight up. When you try to pull at an angle the roots will fight you coming out. I get like a kid in a candy store when there is new equipment on the homestead....lol. I just don't want to stop playing with them.
I hate having to stop. Lol
Fun day with a cool toy. Love to see all the stuff you are getting done now that you work for yourself. It’s such a blessing. Great job on the noodles Olivia.
That old canoe would make a nice planter.
Kudos to you, Al !! Sure beats digging them out with pick and shovel!!
Yes it does.
good idea about the woodchips
I already planted my garlic in August. That is new for me. I did plant some last year but I did it as an experiment and forgot where I planted it so I didn't get any from it. This year it is a marked spot. So I don't forget! I hate being old! My new goals are to mark my maple trees so I can find them this year and tap them to try to make maple syrup! I live in the woods and I couldn't believe how many maple trees I had that I couldn't identify because they didn't have their leaves on them. Thank you for the inspiring me to do it! And thank you for sharing!
What a fun day that was. Digging in dirt is always a good time. Your compost will be wonderful by Spring.
Thank-you for sharing your experiences with us, both in what works, and what doesn't.
It's Loving Stone Al, perfect for Goatlandia.
One time I planted an extra tomato plant in a compost pile, wasn't long before I chopped all my other tomato plants down, as it raised well over 400 tomato's, and was hard to even give them away fast enough!
The rock is really interesting!! Need someone who knows about these things, as perhaps it will buy you another new tractor!!! Looks like a face, two eyes, a nose, then started on the mouth but gave up!!
Good job y’all.
Boy's with toys. Gotta love a excavator with a thumb!
I just realized that you purchased the excavator, I had been wondering what kind of rental agreement you had.
That machine looks fun to use! Sure makes fast work of previous headaches 😁
Plan on getting bees in the spring
I'm the curious type so what I want to know is if you have a well because you seem to have a lot of water and it makes me wonder...
Looking forward to your videos because you have a lot more modern things to look at it don't have to be as straightforward Amish kind of set up.. I'm sure you watched a lot of different videos when people have outdoor kitchens like you got which I like that idea I haven't got to that haven't thought about doing that yet but I like that idea about where you're at up there I didn't know New England in that area would have that kind of Farmland like that I'm sure every state does cuz I've traveled a lot of states.. I like a lot of your videos because you can teach without teaching you know you have things there we people can learn from what they see in your videos in the background some of the time people trying to sell something you're not trying to do that.. was it the same time if you saw something you thought that was worth somebody's time to do something make it more convenient I think it's worth while then to say something using those pigs like that that was a good idea to clear out area that you didn't have to clear chicken doing a really good job doing that you do it around my banana trees only one chicken though because if you let them out though strip a banana tree in seconds eatting the insides out of it..but I have all my
Banana trees caged fig trees as well..
Nothing wrong with your excavator skills Al. I could mess that up far better in half the time with far less skill!
How do you keep the chickens from getting out of the enclosure you have for them? Can't they fly out? I am thinking about getting some chickens.
Good practice before you hit the big job. I would have to teach myself to.
Native Americans would grind their corn on huge stones. That might be what the ovals in the stone were.
How many chickens does your family usually consume each year? Or expect to?
I plan on one a week.
lol CAUTION: Al at play😁
Yes. Get some worms for that goat turd compost. Why not. Give some worms a Country home and the garden the best fertilizer. Win win.
Today you’re, the boy with the toy. Doing good.
That rock is pudding stone. Some of the stones have fall out of the rock
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puddingstone_(rock)
7:15 Looked like Olivia fell off her step stool.
Just made a giant pot of chicken noodle cold killing soup yesterday.
Do you take vitamins? Sometimes that helps with colds, also a nice anti histimine could help you too, but not while using large machines. I have had allergies/asthma all my life, and know your nasal pain. Nasal sprays like Afrin, saline spray help. But a doctor's appointment works well too!!!But mine was pretty bad at a young age, but we all make our own choices. Figerooooo better not be your allergy. I want to grow tomatoes instead of sticks next year. Also l want to grow pumpkins just like you in the compost. Last year was mangos, this year was a gourd, and hope fully will be a bunch of pumpkins.🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Headline:. 8000 lb. Excavator attacks 48 lb. stump! Details at 11.
Looks like an Indian grinding stone
Mortar rocks have round holes.
I’m looking for someone in my area to .buy some rabbit poo and I think I found someone in New Hampshire not far from me. Yah
that is so cool the rock :) thanks for sharing xx please say poop not the T word i hate the t word
Don't make a mess lol
You need to utilize your thumb more. It will help to get topsoil off your stumps and help to move them around.
I just bought 20 acres of land. They started logging it this morning. I hope to start building a house next month to homestead it
good luck ,sounds great
Congrats. What state?
@@LumnahAcres in Kentucky Next to Cumberland Lake
@@meanjoegreen4925 thank you
Awesome, you must be so excited! Good luck! My family originally came from your area (in the 1700s)
I have recently moved from an apartment to a house with a yard. Going to have my first garden in many years next spring. Not a homestead yet but a step in the right direction and I am excited. Love your channel. I am learning lots and getting inspiration for future projects. Thanks for all you do.
Yeah next summer I plan on buying two pigs and doing my own take watching your videos really makes it look fun so I have a 5 Acre Farm I really want to start getting into that but first I have to finish my shed I have a carport that is 30 ft long by 16 ft wide that I'm having to put metal panels on the side of it a big roll up door and two regular doors when I get that project done my next project is to buy the pigs and to start my little farm up
I was yelling “use the thumb” on the new equipment.
Loved the video today! Lots of wonderful things going on. The pumpkins are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video! BTW thanks for including your family praying in the video :)
Good job with the hidden stumps. I'd have dug some trenches to install a few frost free hydrants. One by the outdoor kitchen would be fabulous. One by the goat and other animal enclosures. The first thing I did on my 12 acres when I got my backhoe was put hydrants around the property.
Great to see you bow your heads before your meal.
Wow, Taco shells in Littleton New Hampshire. Taco shells did not show up in New England until the mid 1970s. We would drive 40 miles to a Bradley's to get taco shells for Mexican food fixings.
Thank you for sharing your video homestead AL 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐈🐔🐓🐥🐐🐖🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
To decompose the wood chips while they are still wood chips use it as deep bedding which will help keep the animals warm during the cold winter months, also you can feed the organs and such to the cat. Good barn cats love them.
Ha ha ha, "1in of goat turds" the things homesteaders say or get excited about, lol! I have a list of things to learn about this winter. Do those 2 friendly ducks have names?
You know something al lumnah. Your a most handy mammal. although my friends in alambma love to hear you talk ha. It's like home for me. my dad met mom in Portsmouth nh in 67 a young marine fresh from Vitenam. mom's family was in Elliot. my 92 year old grandma lives here now but she still loves her some weathervane seafood ha. Sleep well lumnahs
Aren't grownup tonka toys so much fun?!?😀
That rock formation was from when it was in the water at one time the current caused smaller rocks to swirl around and wore those depressions in the boulder. www.geo.mtu.edu/KeweenawGeoheritage/The_Fault/Potholes.html
That composting wood chip pile wood be excellent amendment material in flower gardens...Gina NEEDS some flowers to add to the homestead beatification!
Great message about challenging and growing from failures.
Might help to see stumps better if you mark them with survey paint. Walk, kick, mark them all. Less time hopping in and out.
Drag the telephone pole to a place where You can drag it with the Kubota or pick up
Great Video! Don't let the comment section get to you ever! Sometimes people don't feel good. They usually don't mean ill will. But reading too many of those can make you feel bad. Just realize that a lot of people are disturbed in the first place, you just need to let them remain faithful viewers, & let their bad days slide off like water off an umbrella. I am sure most of them love your family, and that is why they are here. Hope you get back to your enthusiastic self soon, it is a part of your personality that we all love. I figured it might have been the comment section.. sometimes they can be pure poison. Like I said, don't take them to heart, we love you all out here.
Awesome! We really need one of those on our farm!
The stone you moved, if you place it vertically, will look like a skull.
Just in time for Halloween.😀
Love your family closeness & connection. Thanks for being an example there... Keep on excavating!
I’m looking forward to fall, i have chicken bone broth in the freezer and a bag of split pea soup calling my name, lol. well today was a real get dirty day Al, but its great you had the excavator to help. i like that you keep your property tidy, i am a neat freak too inside and out. i let my sensibilities dictate how i want things to look, my poor husband humors me, lol. your property keeps getting better every year, thats the way it should be, good job! 👍
Pluto always looks so happy!
Why don't you just get a Backhoe for your Kubota Tractor, instead of renting a Exavator!
he's not an excavator operator but, he DID stay at a holiday inn express!! Nice work Al!!
😂😂😳😳
You Are an inspiration for us.
Yard work done the BIG way.......looks like your enjoying full time homesteading...lots to do.
good day Al, Gina & Olivia !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on & off the homestead !! 🏡🎥👍✝
Yeah al use your thumb as much as possible and dont forget to run at full throttle to get the most power from your machine. Try to learn to use your foot pedals so you can keep your hands on the sticks. You are doing great though keep up the good work. From Al in seacoast NH
I want to grow potatoes and garlic. Expand my garden.
Well if it works for you, try it! Thanks for Highlighting my comment!🎃🎃🎃🦃🎃🦃🎃🦃🎃🦃🎃🎃🎃
You're super from where you got the idea you are brilliant brain you are nice dad and you are nice husband you are really good thinking for the future
Who knows, maybe you found the first Lumnahsaurus track's. Putting the blade down while digging will help stabilize the machine, and you have it in front where u can see it and use if needed. Good job overall.
Al, in my many years in this life I have found that IF the Lord desires you to learn a special life lesson: you CAN learn it by OBEDIENCE, you MAY learn it by EXPERIENCE, or for sure you WILL learn it by SUFFERING. God Bless you my friend as I send greetings from South Louisiana and a hug for your sweet girls.
Looks like you have a lot of iron in your soil ... nice and red.
I eat garlic every day, I don't know if that's the magic bullet, but I've not been sick for more than 6 years ... not even a sniffle.
They say garlic is a natural antiviral and antibacterial food
Lumnah Acres Yup, so they say it is! It will help heal you much quicker from most common ailments, or if you eat it regularly, it will prevent you from getting sick in the first place. And eating it raw or mostly raw, is very good for you, as long as it's on a full stomach.
You're doing great on the excavator - slow and smooth is the name of the game (+ suggestions about blade and thumb below). Those old loose bucket pins must be frustrating!
Do you put your ducks (Barred Rock wannabes) in with that broody hen at night? Yep AL .... you're definitely gonna wanna utilize that mini me backhoe to get as many things done as possible while it's there. Are you gonna get some big rocks moved for the goats? Heh heh ..... seems like I have a lot of projects for you to do sometimes, huh AL ~8^) Looks like you are having some fun there though. I hope it stops raining so you can get at what you got the mini me backhoe for in the first place ..... good luck and take care AL, Gina & "I'm gonna paint this here pumpkin" Olivia.
Olivia is so cute ready and waiting for the school bus...You always tease her making her blush...what a large toy you've got there...Animal turds are good for gardening..fiesty figaro...Good dinner in the making!🥗
Hey Al....couldn't you just burn that stuff? It's dead roots so I'd think some diesel fuel and a match and gone!! Course, you know you don't want them piled up under a tree before ignition!! ;>)
Al you did good on the excavator this wasn't your first time buddy. I wish you'd let us see the baby chicks. Hurry up. LOL. It's looking better all the time on Lumnah Acres!!
Hey Al. Nice job on removing the stumps. You took to the excavator pretty well, must be all that Kubota practice :) Might I suggest rather than just dumping those stumps/root balls off the side of the road, you should dig a trench/pit somewhere and bury them 1-2 foot underground. It becomes a basic hugelkultur bed system and they will rot under ground and break down and trap moisture. If you leave them above ground, they will take much longer and look terrible. As for your compost pile, its a little difficult to judge its size from the video, but for general sizes you want to make them 3x3x3, 4x5x4 or 5x5x5 feet in size to get it to optimum temperature to help it break down quickly. Because you get a lot of rain, you might consider covering them over, else they will get too wet and cold and take longer to break down. Think of it as a furnace/factory for bugs and bacteria to do what they do best. Please don't go bigger than 5x5x5 piles else it can start a compost fire if temps get too high and near to flammable materials is not good. That is why they use big concrete bays in professional composting where they can make bigger piles and continually turn them over. Otherwise you could make a bunch of 3x3x3 feet in size piles (but no smaller else they won't get up to temp). If I were you I would also innoculate the piles with a few scoops of fertile soil and with some of the goat poop. The natural bacteria from the goat poop will go to town breaking down the fibres in the piles (thats what helps goats digest the roughage). If you collect any of the goat urine (or even add your own) it can help to add a nitrogen boost that'll get things kicking along. Good luck! Looking forward to seeing more progress/projects.
We’re with you on the negative comments..if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all! Your compost looks fantastic! Time for some Elderberry tonic Al! along with ginger, apple cider vinegar, lemon & honey hot tea! And lots of garlic! Blessings..
Al If you shop harbor freight , they have ( with coupons in your mail box) military steel ammo cans on sale. $10.00. They have a gasket and look very well built.
Sending 22 hens and 5 roosters to freezer camp. Want to cover large chicken yard with 6-8 inches of leaf mulch and let sit over the winter. Trying to bring some nutrition back to the soil and turn this area into a small orchard AND bring back a good flock of chickens to keep it clean and weeded. That's the plan, but we will see what happens!!
Poor Olivia. She's going to have back problems at some point with that backpack that looks bigger than she is. You're a great Dad so you will make sure she's not carrying too much weight on her back. Do you enjoy homesteading full time? You have so many skills. Do you do any canning? Any new projects?
Fun watching you pull up stumps, I love tools that make jobs easier. That soil looks great, in northeastern Minnesota we have mostly red clay, full of nutrients, but takes years to add enough amendments to make it more workable. We would summer our chickens on a piece for 2 or 3 years and then add sawdust or shavings bedding from the coop and till it in for a new garden spot. The chickens did a great job of digging it up, adding manure, and getting rid of weeds. We didn't raise pigs, so all our garden extras got tossed to the chickens, never needed a compost pile. After about 20 years we had about an acre of really good garden area.
I'm learning how to cut Old glass! I'm not very good at it yet. But I hope to master it before the last of the extra glass is gone through me breaking it. I just need one more 10x17 pane cut and have two old windows which have three tries each! Wish me luck! Like the escalator!
Guess I should have watched the whole video 1st before commenting. Sorry, you know what your doing.
An extensive walk with an orange marking paint can could have helped so you don't miss any stumps. It's always fun learning how to use equipment, long as you don't hit any buried water, gas or electrical.
We had a backhoe at our house last week... wait for the video as to why. While he was here we did a bit of stump digging too. It is such a good feeling to get all of the mess out of the way!
You were working over the back of the excavator. Blade is the dig stabilizer. You put it down on the ground to get better digging force and load lifting capacity. Think of the stabilizers on a loader backhoe. Hen looked like she was intending to protect her chicks. HA I'm kind of surprised you didn't bury hot and cold water lines out to the outdoor kitchen when you built it.
Spin the machine around where the blade and bucket are on the same side. Drop your blade for stability. Also use your thumb attachment to grab stuff. The place is looking good.
Just caught up with this one Al, I think you quite enjoyed yourself with the excavator, and you look quite an expert with it.
You do fine on the excavator except for the thumb you need to use the thumb it will make life easier the wood chips are doing great I noticed all of the heat coming out of it and yes that big bolder with the imprint is cool
Keep track for a day how many times you touch your nose and eyes. I found when I stopped doing that I cut down the incidence of colds by 90%. During the winter, and this is a hard one to do, spend 20 mins soaking in a hot tub (or any kind of sauna) hot enough to get you to sweat for that 20 mins and you'll be bullet proof to colds and flu. You won't want to do it some nights because you're too tired but if you spend the time sweating you sleep so much better it pays in more restful slerp than had you just gone to bed without soaking. I've tested this by touching my eyes and nose through flu season and I couldn't get sick. Exercise sweat does not work, that causes toxns. It has to be a passive sweat. You build yourself a sweat lodge and in the bitterest cold you could walk from it into the house wet with nothing but a towel around you and you wouldn't be cold. But my preferance is to do it in the house. More convenient.
I actually did fall asleep on the bus on the way home... I rode all the way back to school. Did that a few times in elementary school actually. And it wasn’t until high school that I was diagnosed with a sleeping disorder😒
Also, as you add the goat poo to the bucket, you could also add saw dust or wood shavings to go ahead and let it start composting. And we got rid of stumps in my grandmothers yard by building bonfires on top of them...
Is there nothing that can't do ? You are amazing ! Your wife certainly found a jewel when she found you ! You did a great job ! Your place is amazing !
If you want the wood chips to compost much quicker add manure and green (nitrogen) and offal as well. Just turning will be a slow process with nitrogen added you should see much quicker results. We used to add fish guts, seaweed, and horse manure to our sawdust and it would compost out in a season with the right proportions (take a temp reading in the core). Add worms to the natural supply as well. Take care. Doug
