Self Sufficiency: Nutnfancy Garden Part 1

- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Let's Garden Up in TNP! Mrs Nutnfancy, dogness, and I show you the results of my long planned project in the Project: our garden. Everything is a system here and everything has a POU. I discuss both in detail and we launch, perhaps, into a new phase of TNP. For many reasons you should put in the work and time in having a garden, even a small one, to become more self sufficient. That's discussed and then I show you the specifics of our above ground garden and its watering grid.
Cool I like seeing this stuff
Check out John willis at SOE. He’s doing dope shit.
A garden has been in my life near 60 years. It's astounding to find people are just now pushing it.
Double thumbs up on homesteader content, whether folks like it or not, many who survive this, whatever the hell it turns into, will be because of real deal "stay alive" skills. I'm missing some newer cooking content too. Love that stuff. That looks like a great little garden.
1.Create your own food.
2. Defend it.
It’s almost impossible to eat all the food the garden creates over here in the north east. You can’t even give it all away. But nothing is waisted. Give extras to the chickens or put it in the compost. Great stuff Nutin
I freaking love this! Our medicine should be our food and our food our medicine. Might be step one or two in breaking away from corporate world government.
Modern version of the Victory Garden. This is something that changes someone's mindset from that of a consumer to that of a producer. The next video in your series should be chickens for eggs and meat. Keep up the great work.
Your analytical mind around homesteading definitely brings a unique view to a saturated topic
Been a subscriber of yours for well over 10 years… Had to put my dog down on Thursday and I threw it back and watched some of your dog videos from 13 years or so ago. You talked about the time commitment and to not make the decision to adopt a high energy dog lightly. I got my beloved shepherd in 2012 and took him in countless adventures over the years. I bought the house I did largely because of the large yard for him to patrol and play. He watch me and my wife have a child and he was gentle and immediately welcomed her into the family. I stole your term wolf paw and my wife and I still refer to it to this day. Anyway, all the things you said you must do if you are going to be the owner of a high energy dog I did, and then some….. just kinda made me feel better during this time of mourning. I didn’t leave this comment there because I doubt you read comments from 13 year old videos, so I left it here. Keep up the good work!
Every time my family loses a dog we always replace them. Yeah it's tough but the years of good times is stronger than the grief of loss.
We just had some unexpected pups, my male Belgian Malinois bred with my female Catahoula 😊
I’m all about a diversified channel with homesteading / garden content, gun reviews and whatever else you might want to do. It keeps things new and interesting! Two thumbs up from me!
Warrior in a garden - that’s my goal. I love gardening. Way to go. Keep it up.
Keep this type of content going Nut. Not only will RUclips not bother you like they do with your main channel but also it’s very informative.
Love this kind of content!
Folks new to gardening just buy a few big planters. Potting mix, and as many things you eat that fit in the planters. You'll be blown away how big things get and how much you will get. And mostly you'll really enjoy it and you'll find tending your plants relives stress. It's a total win win situation and easy as can be. Follow the directions and produce yourself some food. 4 planters was how I started and now its grown much bigger.
Just started a small garden this year, already planning expansions. With all the situations we plan and prep for, a garden is one of the top things that will get you through.
Our city has a project where volunteers grow free vegetables for its citizens. It’s amazing to have access to these free crops. Self-sufficiency is something you should work on, both individually and with the help of others. By the way, NutnFancy’s garden setup is very impressive!.
Nutnfancy Gardening! About time! Can't wait for the next one
Definitely support more of this in the project!
Rodents don't like mint. Either plant peppermint or pennyroyal plants around the fence, or get some peppermint oil spray and do the perimeter. Love the video !
What a gorgeous view. Love my home garden. It’s not anywhere near big enough to survive on, but picking your own lettuce, tomatoes, and onions to put on my burgers and blt’s sure is great. Grow bell peppers for pizza too. 😀
I've put off being a Patreon member for 20 years or however long you've been on it...but no more. I'm in!
LDSPrepper is an excellent gardening channel. Definitely put him on 2x though.
Gardening is a skill. When we were kids my mom had each of us choose a fruit and a vegetable we liked and it was our responsibility to cultivate and care for them. I'd like to learn more about aquaponics.
You've been telling us to do a garden for years, i followed the advice years ago. Useful content
Gardening is so cool. My grandma had a big garden and she jared veggies and fruits.
This is a good topic. It may be a saturated topic but those channels are not from your perspective. Showing your way of being self sufficient is a fresh look and one I think a lot of people are interested in. Including myself.
I just canned my first pickles from my garden grown cucumbers. very satisfying. I also have chickens laying eggs every day.
Nice work. In Texas, if you haven’t started your garden by now, it’s too late until the fall.
A trick to tension that welded wire is to clamp it tight between 2 2x4s, then pull on the 2x4s with a fence stretcher. It shouldn't break that way. Growing up we kept a 2 acre garden that was weeded by hand, hoes, and a push power rototiller. About 1.5 acres was edible vegetables. Green beans are a good choice for the amount of horizontal space vs amount of food. Potatoes can take a lot of water. Tomatoes and peppers are good canned, but they can be difficult to grow from seeds. My mother was very frugle and she always bought small tomato plants and transplanted them. Cucumbers are a good, muti use option that be pickled of course. My wife is trying sweet potatoes this year.
I just helped my grandma plant her carrots. Lol
My wife and I have been growing a large portion of our monthly food. We can a lot for winter time. Everything we grow is organic. I make our own fertilizer as well. We do both raised beds and in ground. It’s the way we were meant to live.
Love this video
Well timed. Looking forward to this one
You can put an aluminum or copper antenna in the soil next to the plant to help it grow better too. Its called electroculture. And you can also plant the seed just above the edge of a magnet (neodymium is best, and be sure to plastic wrap it to prevent chromiom leeching into soil) at one of its poles and the seed will sprout better and grow better. Some plants respond to north pole better than south and vise versa, and if its the wrong pole its basically ruin the plant instead of making it better, but if you get it right you'll end up with a more nutritious plant AMD more yeild.
Awesome content. We have gardens and chickens. Our son goes out and helps with both the chickens and the garden.
Enjoyed the video. Great info. If you make more videos like this I will definitely watch them.
Yeah man.....this is part of a self sufficient approach and I think it fits into the channel well. Ironically we just put our small garden together today and we feel like we are at least 2 weeks behind.
Keep this series going nutn ! It will do great
Love good gardening videos.
This is great content. Thanks for posting!
Fantastic stuff . Great job
Love seeing gardening and homesteading content! I've been thinking of a vertical hydroponic system I can have indoors. Portable as a renter for moving across the country. Good luck with your garden!
Mels mix for above ground planters works really well.
Sign of the times, age will change our hobbies and more. 🤜💯
Top tier content, as always.
I might recommend a ground cover like small mulch around your plants. That will help the soil retain moisture. Then you can till it in next spring and put more mulch around the next years plants.
We always had gardens when I was a kid. The amount of space and work required to legitimately provide some food for a family of 6 is pretty insane. We also had rabbits and chickens, and it takes a lot to provide food. The idea a lot of people have of a few garden boxes and a handful of chickens doing the trick, and it being a fun thing to play with on the weekends or something will fall to the wayside quickly when put to practice. Start small to supplement your store bought groceries and find out exactly what you're getting and where you need to expand. We did 3 different gardens totalling between 3-4 acres. Corn took up about an acre by itself. Potatoes, beans and peas took up a lot; tomatoes was a decent chunk, and the rest was squash, zucchini, lettuce, radishes, carrots that never did worth a crap, broccoli cauliflower etc.. We did keep quite a bit of corn and beans on hand, usually had enough potatoes and lettuce to get by, but we still had to buy vegetables from the store sometimes.
The reason why most people don't grow food is the minor maintenance, and watering . Love your watering system. Mrs. NaF still don't like the camera. 😮
After years of asking me I finally got around to building my wife's multi-level garden boxes. We now have a pretty robust garden going. I'm looking forward to all the fresh home grown veggies this summer.
Thanks Nutn. Gardening for food is my second job. I have both in ground and raised beds. There are benefits to both methods. Two days ago I shot a ground squirrel here. Got some peppers onions and tomatoes transplanted out. Had to cover them tonight because of a risk of frost before morning.
Good stuff nutn!
Nice set up I have no problem with thease subjects I evan with your Motorcycle kids and I don't ride I enjoy everything you do
My wife has done gardening for years. We've done both in the ground and above. We also keep chickens. Can't wait to see how all your stuff turns out? Looks like it'll do just fine to me as long as deer don't come along and eat too much of it. That's one thing we don't have to worry about too much here. They are around, but we live more in town and have 6 foot fences, so they aren't too much of a problem.
Love this content. Could not more highly recommend everyone look into the Mittleider Gardening Method. It is a fool-proof, proven system… and I mean system for gardening. It is soil agnostic, and produces massive harvests IF you follow the system. Good luck!
Awesome, truly freedom seeds for every category. You sir are a fine American. Grow potatoes, plant fruit trees, water is life.
always useful stuff and very practical.
Good video with a lot of reality
Ya bro love it! You never fail to do what nobody expects!
I know there's a lot of self sufficience gardening videos out there, but it's good to show that you and yours are doing it too. Got to lead by example. A lot of people are stocking up on non perishable foods for emergency situations which is fine, but being able to provide for yourself in the long term if things go south is just as important.
Great video,I hope she is well!!!
You need to build a grow rack with some shop lights to start your own plants in doors. So you don't have to pay those prices. Then a freeze drier to preserve what you grow.
I have "chicken wire" fence around my garden to keep squirrels and rabbits out. Believe it or not, squirrels love to cut branches off pepper plants in Ohio.
Love the gardening content. Do chickens next. I started with backyard/urban chickens 4 years ago after going to the store and finding the egg case dead empty. They are great fun and it’s an easier gig than you might think. If you buy chicks, plan on egg production 5-7 months down the road. It’s all about self sufficiency. You will NOT save money. It’s about survival when the stores close.
Homesteading is awesome!
Hell yeah dude. I’ve been at it for four years gardening and it gets better and better as you keep doing it
Awesome !! I like this video
Maybe plant some climbing pole beans on your windward fence to break up the wind and efficient use of space. Good direction for the channel.
Healthy activity. ❤
Nice. Keep this stuff up!
WOW, the plant prices out your way are crazy expensive. I'm in NH and start most from seeds but plants are cheap here...$3 for a six pack of peppers. I actually do save money with my garden because I buy almost no vegetables during the summer months. I also pressure can everything I dont eat to use over the winter into spring. I do have chickens, and raise turkeys too. Raising turkeys only takes a few months, creates great manure for the gardens the following spring and is a great way to put 300ish lbs of meat in the freezer.
Excellent movie. We moved to Wyoming 3 1/2 years ago to start our self sufficiency life. At the age of 68 I too no longer trust any part of our government. Great movie.
started gardening during covid and have been doing it ever since. I always grow from seed so that the entire process of my plants I control from birth to death. That way if SHTF happen I wil know how to geminate my own seeds.
Living the dream 😎
Long time follower of your gun videos and I am pretty stoked to see a video like this one featured! Covid -19 should have been a HUGE wake up call, if it wasnt then inflation ought to be the icing on the cake to get you motivated! Im stuck in urban sprawl on a small 50x125 ft lot, which includes my home, but I have pretty much turned my yard into a garden, got a few chickens and rabbits (despite restrictive laws) and grow about 1/2 to 2/3's of my food! Its unreal how much money I save at the grocery store. At first you dont save much but in the long run after your set up and running, you can save a lot!!! Raised beds are definitely the way to go but will require a lot of up front investment, think of the long game not the short game!
I started out with a Landscaping mix which was very mediocre at best at 45.00 a yard. But after about 4-5 years of adding manure, grass clippings and leaves, my beds are really kicking butt and taking names. Drip irrigation is definitely a huge plus and most recommended if you dont get a lot of regular rain fall. I dont get enough produce at any one time to make canning cost or time efficient, but I do a lot of dehydrating and or blanching and then freezing for later use.
Keep them coming please
Heck yeah bro!
Tactical gardening! Check out the back to Eden garden, by Paul Gautschi. What I learned, you need to cover the soil to prevent weeds and reduce water loss.
I had to drop the monthly donations for a bit as I was scaredcabout my job- felt bad about that but I have put my toe back in. Its not much but I sure do appreciate you! Shared this live.
10:20 my favorite Mrs Nutnfancy scene ever
Maybe if you get a small cow or two they can eat some of those weeds and get that soil healthy too. Depends on weeds..maybe a goat. :)
Like this project
Your garden is your peace of mind that if they're chaos in the streets and Walmarts and stores, you know you can feed yourself.
Even people with a small parcel of land can choose one core staple veg to grow and at least remove themselves from one reliance. Potatoes/Yams (Sweet Potatoes) and onions are a great start. Grow fewer varieties of things, better. Thats my advice! My first year i grew 6 different things and had not enough of anything to make a difference. Potatoes and Onions this year and have an actual meaningful amount of them 😊
Average temp ladt summer in Wisconsin was 100 degrees and it didn't snow till after new years. It was 53 degrees on Christmas day. No snow. I have a nice garden going and I have a outdoor screen pavilion I can use as a greenhouse. Everyone should be gardening if they have the space. God Bless 🙏
You need to collab with Wranglerstar I would pay so much to see that .. your guys personalities would make for an insane show
True! Its actually more efficient to just go to store! It gives you appreciation for the food more for sure.
Now you need to get a freeze drier!!!
Im gardening at a community garden- very helpful in learning. Ohhhh id say its more than a 2 month learning! Im getting better at it! It takes hands on learning for sure
The squirrels will have that dug up in about 10 minutes without being covered completely. But nothing beats home grown garden fruits and veggies.
WELL this is a great and awesome surprise. Nutn please cmon dude, make videos because you want to, because you want to share your adventure, who cares how many watch that shouldn't even been an issue. you can use a blue or green tarp as siding on that fence. you may want to add a roof some type of cover? a green house? and those beds are DRY someone please water them !!! moar videos on gardening Nutn Thanks bro.
Maybe you can do a worm farm- that worm poop will help your soil!
Your prices for seedlings are insane, I live in Toronto and there's a Chinese garden center near me that sells the 4x seedling small black plastic containers for $2.50 at the beginning of May. I also picked up a yard of triple mix from a local soil supply for $60. You don't need anything more than that if your soil is somewhat fertile, just spread and incorporate the triple mix, plant some stuff and water it. I also bought a bag of seed potatoes for $10 and onion sets for $5 to try and grow this year.
You should do a reality style show "Life with Nutnfancy"...where you interview your family and see how they really feel. The drama would be great...
Tip for everyone- do not use those cone shaped tomato cages that Nutn has in his garden. Those are worthless. Get some number 10 wire mesh and make your own. They last for years and are far more durable than the store-bought cages.
Owl decoys might help ward off some of those squirrels/pests.
😮😊
Nutn, pick up Mel Bartholomew's book " The New Square Foot Gardening."All the brain work is done, so just follow along. Easiest way to garden ever. You 'll want to set up your vining plants on the ends to climb, not spill over the sides. The shade they cast can be used to assist the plants that grow better in cooler conditions.
Cool.
here's a garden tip. Plant silvia in a corner of the garden somewhere, it will attract bees for pollination. Also I agree that gardening isn't for saving money, it's for self-sufficiency.
Gardening is such an underrated skill when adult men typically think about self sufficiency
Col,
The lady of our manor and I have added more veggies over the years. And even though we've done some direct planting of seeds, you don't always get every seed to produce plants. Really the biggest expense for us has been soil. We don't have the property nor richest of soil. So we also went with raised beds. Buying soil can be challenge. I will have to figure bulk soil in the future because buying bagged is a hassle.
We have fencing around the main garden. But we had to add chicken wire to add to keeping some of the same critters you showed as problematic on your set up. I've seen all of those in my little suburb near Dayton Ohio.
I believe you'll find you will have interest in this day and age after the problems after c19 and it's related issues.
