IDK if you read these, but you have engendered a lot of good will and I speak for many that we hope you all are well. Your videos along with Bush radical got me through a lot of tough times when I left working in Law enforcement in a very rural area. Peace brother, listen to some thin lizzy tonight!
Yes I do read them all, and thank you for the kind words. It means a lot.
Ain't that the truth! Only difference for me was urban not rural. Peace friend.
@@redlanternhomesteadcathym105 thank you for jumping in. I am still amazed at my city pd brothers and sisters. How you guys handled being surrounded by people. Glad your safe. Please keep in touch.
@@Guildbrookfarmlook into "Slopemaster Seed with Durana White Clover" for the hillside...
The hill could be a food forest? Fruit trees, berries etc. Good to see you back!
Great seeing ya back on the line…
How about a status update on the new home. Has it been all you expected or are there some things you would change. How have the seasons been so far. It was a pleasant surprise seeing your channel back. Thanks!
I'll do it!
Welcome back. You have been missed.
Glad to see you back! Great video as usual- love your humor!
I would terrace it and plant berry bushes, veggie garden or whatever. Something you won't have to mow.
Missed seeing your videos. Our "forever home" constructed of "The Perfect Block" is almost completed. You were a lot of inspiration! Thank you
Hill side is good for fruits tree. Nice to see you back, greetings from Madagascar.
Are grapevines a stupid idea? Not sure if it's useful with your climate but it's the first thing that came to my mind. Otherwise pumpkins could be good too, they tend to vine out and cover a lot of ground and it could be a good way to make an extra few bucks in the fall.
Lavender, rosemary and thyme could be good too, they tend to cover a fair bit of ground and are useful too.
I have muscadine vines on some areas of the property and they get all tangled into the trees and make a mess, so I'm leaning more toward some kind of wildflowers.
How ironic that Jamie is gone and your here full time. Because if I remember correctly, you weren't in many of the videos at the beginning. But I'm glad you are continuing as I love the way you explain things. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷
I started following the channel because of Jamie’s videos about food storage in their first house.
Just saw Clover yards are a thing. Stays green even in droughts, only gets to about 2 inches tall. Doesn't need mowed.
Absolutely love seeing you back to making videos! My husband and i have been watching you from day one.
We are trying to figure out ground cover for our hill just like you. Ours seems identical...dirt and rocks. Please keep us posted on what you find out.
It's great you're back.!!!
Good to see you posting videos again. Perhaps cutting swales on the contour lines of the hillside and planting fruit trees would be a good use? Fresh fruit and stabilized hillside.
Love it ❤
For your fence re-build, perhaps you could consider the burnt-wood technique. Glad to see you back.
Is it called sho shugi ban? Something like that.
I believe you are referring to shou sugi ban. An alternate term is yakisuki - literally "burnt cypress." "Ban" means plank. The original term referred to cedar. Safer, perhaps, to just call it burnt wood or burnt timber method. Less chance to run into misunderstandings with foreign words.
Glad to see you back making videos again, I always enjoy watching what projects you're up to. That ramp scaffold contraption works a treat. I recently built a tilting table/workstand for my moped/scooters, I can get the bikes on and off by myself, better than laying on the floor to do repairs/maintainance.
Glad to see you back!! I have so missed your wit and grit! Still miss Jamie, but glad she is doing what she loves.
Oh my goodness I have missed you!!!!
Glad you are back. Would love to see how everything is holding up and any evolution in the shop.
Glad to see you back ! You were missed
Great to see you again! You could market that portable undercarriage work station, I bet. Your views are stunning.
I had a hill sort of like yours in Iowa, The hillside was trellised(?) into 1/2 acre lots, it was steeper than yours. The grass spread up it alright but any substantial rain and down came some of the hill. I planted 30 pks or more of wild flowers and some low bushy kind of plants so I didn't need to do much is any maintenance. I worked out pretty good.
Plant that hill in native grasses and wild flowers
It is good to see you back. I hope all is well.
So glad to see you again!! Hope Jamie and the girls are doing good as well! 😃
Glad to see you back.
Gosh, it's been a while. Good to see you again.
Happy to see you back. I'll keep following the progress and the various 'go for it' things you do ;)
I hope all is well with you and all ya'll
Great to see you back.
How about a 'fruit garden' for that hill??
Put in dwarf fruits trees.....so they won't grow tall and block your view. Mixed in with Blueberry (and other berries) bushes/canes?? Then put landscaping fabric down and then mulch over the fabric?
Adding to my first comment ... wondering how you've liked your new house. What was the winter like? Maybe you could share some of your experience with the property since we saw you last even though you weren't able to do 'projects'.
Yes. Coming up. Many people have asked. 👍🏻
I know Juniper isn't always the most popular, but there is a juniper ground cover that could really support that hillside and you wont need to trim it, it stays low, as you get closer to the house maybe some creeping jenny or st johns wort. these should tolerate your weather.
Welcome back and thanks for sharing
Great to see a new video. The farmstead looks great.
Holy cow Jeremy It is so good to see you back again! missed you.
I've been waiting for a new video ever since the trailer disassembly, he he, thanks for posting. I do find it strange that Jamie won't be in any videos, at least to just say hello. Hope all is well between you two. Take care.
The hill, smaller trees and shrubs that won’t block your view? Or you could plant different varieties of fruit trees and berries. Good to see you back!
It's good to see you again Jeremy. Have you considered native wildflowers for the hillside? That would be fantastic for pollinators, you won't need to cut it, and it will reseed itself, not to mention it will bring color to the yard.
Gonna try a test patch.
Thanks for adding the word “native”. So important! They are “built” for the area one lives in, no care and all of the other benefits you mentioned. Check with your local agricultural extension for some suggestions.
Lovely to see you! And good on you for taking a break from content creation 👍
Raised bed gardens would look beautiful and hold the dirt. Or you could tier it with landscape timber, that would be beautiful too. You could plant flowers or vegs.
Check out Acre Homestead’s garden beds on a slope.
@@cynthiafisher9907 OMG, hers are gorgeous, I only wish.
Miss Jamie...I find you both have calming voices
Yay! Glad to see ya back man!
For what to do with your hillside, you can't go wrong with defensible space. You can use succulents to cover that area making it harder for fire to sweep through, and there's one kind that blooms bright magenta pink!
Oh man, i need to build a “sketchy shit” platform to do oil changes on my lawn tractor! Ideally a platform wide enough so that I can drive up with the mowing deck on to clear obstructions to the cutting blades (coconuts are the worst offenders where I live, they get hopelessly wedged in the mowing deck!)
So great to see you again!! 😊
Good to see you Jeremy! Our love to Jamie and the girls!
yaaay!! More please! You guys have been one of my favorite channels for awhile! Good to see you back at it!
Well, Hello.😊
Great to see you back making videos. What is Jamie up to now?
Missed y’all!
Hey i was just wondering about you guys the other day. Welcome back hope all is well.
You might try red or white clover. Enjoy new year.
Plant native to your area for the best results. Take time to plan for the look and maintenance you're looking to achieve.
Sure do miss your videos!!!!
You can always tier the hillside so it can be mowed easily but this would involve dirt movers and walls.
There's plenty that you could plant on that slope ... I'd contact your county extension. They'll suggest plants that will grow well in the light conditions (full fun or half day sun) and that will do well in your area. Just search
Always good to see you Jeremy! Sketchy is good.
Hey Jeremy! Good to see an upload, hope ya'll are well!
Welcome back! Crown vetch would work as a maintenance free ground cover on your hillside. Bees also like it so if you want hives in the future the vetch will be waiting for them.
Great idea!
@@Guildbrookfarm I used it on a steep bank beside a driveway and it worked very well.
What zone though?
@@Guildbrookfarm 7a
Except in many states, crown vetch is classed as an invasive and even transporting it is restricted.
Good to see you back! I'm going to plant white dutch clover this week. That might work for you too
I use Crimson and White Dutch clover mixed on my farm. Grows real well in my clay NC soil.
Take care and God Bless.
Missed your videos ... glad for an update :)
Plant Honey suckle on the hill, grows low and smells lovely. Great ground cover.
Hi there and nice to see you again.
I think what could be interesting is a run down of your energy costs on your new ICF house. I bet , even with the high ceilings and summer heat, it's stayed warm, dry, bug free, and cool 👍
PS: re your fence repairs:- stand the bottom of the new wooden fence posts in a bucket of linseed oil, so it soaks in. Much better protection than rubber
Terrace it. 2-3 levels or more. a walk in the middle leads to the trees. You can decide on one think or many things. Small trees , brambles, flowers , wheat, or other useful grass. Lots of options. And will keep the hillside from sliding. Have fun with it.
I would go with a wildflower mix on the hillside.
I like it... if they'll grow in this soil. I'll try a test patch.
St John's-wort
--Our is existing so I don't know how long it takes to get going but really, hardly anything grows through it and it's very hardy. I take the weed eater to it every other year and take it down to the nubbin. The weedeating isn't necessary except that it makes it look very nice. (It's along our driveway)
Glad to see you’re back.
Good to see you!
Dude Jeremy!! So good to see you back especially when I was thinking of you just yesterday. Weird how that happens. I love it when you do sketchy sh*t LOL. I nearly spit out my drink when I saw you rolling that ATV up onto scaffolding!!! But that was followed by the biggest grin :D. Looking forward to what this spring will bring on your channel. Yeah, that mobile home has got to go!
Good to see you again! You are right… sometimes you need to do some sketchy stuff… just don’t be dumb about it.
Possible terracing, for more planting area…depends on water availability. 👍
Nice to know you're still alive and kickin'. Looking good and the touch of humor had me smiling. Best wishes for 2024. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.
Jeremy....Holly bushes are amazing for slopes and hillsides to control erosion. They are deterrents for other stuff,too! The scenery is beautiful if you can see it from another angle also. They survive weather and I think you will love Holly bushes. There are varieties. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Good to see you. Hope everyone is doing good
I have a similar hillside but I think it's steeper. I used to use a rope tied onto deckposts but it was cumbersome. I wear a pair of football cleats to help with my footing. They work better during the springtime. As the ground hardens, not so much but I still wear them.
In Australia we will becoming into the beginning of wetter weather. on the lead up to winter. So I look forward to seeing you when its to wet for the farm here.
IDK if it will thrive in your area. We planted out a low growing oregano. It does not need to be mowed. The only problem is that it will take over, if you let it. As a plus, you can use it in your cooking.
Hale from the Oil Patch in Central Wyoming (aka Neanderthal Central)!!
Glad to see you're back up and running, and glad to hear that you were able to make some quality jingle during the last year!
I shant bore you with the advancement of my decrepitude concerning my Walking Corpse, just wanted to give you a couple of ideas for your hill.
Your hillside is a perfect situation and for grapes and berries: an assortment of Malbec grapes for red wines, Riesling for white wines, Raspberries, Red Huckleberry, and at the end of each row (both ends), Winesap Apple trees as placeholders for everything in the middle.
On the most bottom two rows I would switch over to a combination of salmon berries and mulberries.
These various species will provide you with an amazing assortment for juices, wine, and hard ciders, as well as some of the finest pie making material you will ever find on the planet!
Anywho glad to hear things are going well, though I do miss seeing some of her work from time to time because she is an amazing talent.
I look forward to seeing whatever content you're able to put up considering your work loads.
Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central Wyoming
Good suggestions, except mulberries. We don’t want to block the view!
Good to see you.
Miss the videos with your wife in the kitchen and garden
I don't think Jaime's ever coming back :(
Sheeps are used for some levees in Germany... they will shorten the grass and trample the levee to be more steady. Good to see you back though!
Great to see you back! I’d love to see you and Jamie do another episode of The Dirt. I miss you two!
Ikr I loved the Dirt videos. I MISS J
You may want to check out native grasses for your hill area. The roots go much deeper than the rye grasses and other non-native grasses. The roots of the native grasses would help stabilize your hill and keep you from having erosion problems. You could also see if someone in your area have goats that could graze that area once the native grasses are established.
One way to control the hay is to get some animals. Goats seem like work ... But what about raising a couple of pigs for freezer camp? 💖🌞🌵😷
I guess what I tried to post would not work....so will try again. Hope all the family no longer in the videos are doing as well as they can and having as much fun in life as they should. For the hillside...what about the large clover plants that they use for farming...that has deep roots, and pretty flowers and looks pretty good. Also, I tried to post a youtube link to Dirt Perfect's video reviewing the "talon-rc" remote controlled mower that works for super steep hills...but that did not work, so I will just name it vs any actual links. According to that video, the talon-rc remote controlled mower can do super steep hills without an issue for mowing. Since we watched the house build, I would be interested in a 'this is how it has worked out after using it for a few yrs' type review...ie given what you built etc, is there anything you would change if you had to do it over? In any case, glad to see you are back. :)
8:03 Health insurance. Got mine through the state. HIgh deductible plan for the two of us for $5 a month. But high deductible, like $15,000 in the worst case scenario. It was great. Used it until medicare kicked in. Medicare is wonderful too.
No idea what grows on top of a mountain in your part of the world, but you could make some winding paths down the slope (so you continue to have access), and plant brambles - they spread fast, roots hold the ground well, and you can make bramble jam after the harvest. In between, just sow a lot of herb and medicinal plant seeds, let them grow wild. For example, achillea millefolia, wild garlic, parsley, coriander, whatever you happen to have. Throw down some daffodil and bluebell bulbs in the autumn, cover with a bit of soil and let them all grow naturally. You'd need to fertilise and mulch a fair bit. Retaining water will probably be your main problem at first. Plant some fast growing trees (e.g. poplar) to provide initial wind cover for more slow growing, earth grabbing trees, like oak perhaps. If they take, they take and you end up with a great natural resource.
To make paths fast, you could use your tree logs to act as edges, with some pebbles in between. As the tree trunks rot, you might get some wild mushrooms later. It's amazing how quickly the wood starts to rot, enriching the soil.
If you have unwelcome wildlife, try growing some pyracantha at the top edge of your slope. They grow fast, look really nice and the thorns keep larger animals at bay.
You could also try some tamarisk shrubs - they spread by themselves, and are pretty hardy plants. Clouds of tiny pretty pink flowers in the spring...
Welcome back
Omg I've missed y'all dangit man
I hope Jaime is well. I miss her so dang much
I totally did not get a notification for this video. Ugh
I suggest clover for the hill. It won't grow tall, but provide a green lushness.
You and Jamie are still together, right? I've been worried about that lately.
It would take you a bit to do but you could do semi circle terraces coming up the hill. Not Al in a row but alternating.This lets water flow downhill without creating ditches. Plant bushes that are low growing maybe even fruits. Low growing Blue berries bushes not the tree. Maybe a tree or two. Do the whole hillside. I can’t post pictures on here but you can look it up on RUclips. It would look very good on that hill. I found one similar on RUclips for you look up semi circle terracing steep hill
Heeeeeeey! 😀 Welcome back Jeremy
I said it out loud as I read your comment, heeeeeeeey. Made me smile!
@@yetiatlarge555 ☺ your comment/smile just made me smile.
Clover or Alfalfa might be good and require little maintenance.
I remember in you open carried a 1911 in your early videos. Glad to see you're packin' on vid again.
Still switch out. Striker, 1911, 2011. They all work. Tools are tools brother.
STEP GARDEN ROCKERY
Good to see you back. Jamie was cool on here but she doing what she wanted. Hope she is well, as well as the girls. So see you soon then
Can you just plant grass and forget it? Does it need to be cut?
Accessibility, can't go wrong with that .
I have that very ATV. I usually take it to the dealership. I have much other stuff to do. Besides, I hate being a mechanic.
Same. But wheeeee! 😏
