Hahahaha I love it! I looked at the title and went "what the hey is that?" Now I know and it makes me sound so much smarter and more professional! I can always use a way to sound smarter. I get just as excited as you about compost but my husband totally does not get it. One year my husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told him compost. He looked at me like I was crazy. He bought me jewelry, which is pretty much wasted on me. I took the jewelry back after Christmas and used the money to buy 2 truckloads of compost. I had beautiful flowers and veggies the next spring, summer and into the fall and that was a wonderful gift. Sometimes we hear beep - beep - beep and I smile. A local tree service doesn't even ask. They simply back up in my driveway and dump their trucks and I take it from there. They benefit because they don't have to pay to use the landfill and I benefit because I have lots of materials to work with, even after I pick through and get rid of larger limbs or things I don't want to use. Sometimes there is so much material that I have to load it in my pickup and drive it to our property in the country since I haven't found a reliable source out there yet. I have improved the soil around here so much that anywhere I dig I get lots of earthworms. I might start a side business - selling fishing worms or the castings from the worms. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
Smart lady.
Way to go
I think you are healing your souls as you are healing your land.
Your cameraman sure does a good job operating the camera, kept you in frame perfect.
Your boys remind me of my boys when they were small. Always dirty ,wearing worn out clothes, getting into everything....and having the time of their lives!!! I miss those days. If I knew then what I know now I wouldn’t have wasted so much time worrying about bills and all that stuff. I would have done things differently...😥
Something so great about a dad and his sons working together on the farm. Restores humanity somehow. Thanks.
What a fine group of young men you're raising!
Nice to see you have a good sense of humus. :)
LOL. Only a Homesteader would get so excited about a compost pile and earthworms! Right there with you Hollars! Where we are in Australia, it is so dry that when we moved here our land was literally lime stone covered in about 8 to 10 inches of sand. Water just ran off. It wouldn't soak in. But a few years later after some animals, compost, straw as mulch and lots of water we now have soil and earthworms and a lush green kitchen garden. Mother nature is wonderful.
What a perfect title! One can tell that Joel Salatin has some influence around "these here parts." Love it!
The "chicken inspection" was hilarious! Who would have thought something so simple could be so fascinating!?!?
I had seen a pallet compost bin like this on Justin Rhodes' channel, and when my neighbors gave me 4 a couple months ago I put them together just like that in our backyard! The level of what's in it is now down to the halfway mark.
Good job with the "Good morning, Beautiful People!" You made me smile wide.
Reallly, they're trying to figure out how to get in there where the goodies are or will be when the bug treats start sprouting!
Whenever Ben starts a Vlog with "good morning beautiful people" it makes me laugh. It took a while but you're finally saying it consistantly. Anything to make your wife happy
Michael Williams ~ I think the thing that makes me happiest about that, is that they mean it from the heart. They've expressed their gratitude so many times for those of us who care about and encourage them, I FEEL it when they say it. I always did, when Meg said it, but in this video, Ben seems to feel comfortable using the greeting. Yay! I'm one of the Beautiful People!!
@@TXNLaurenMcN doesnt it feel good to be a beautiful person!?!?
@@milkandcookyz ~ It does! I love it. And you?
Lauren McW wouldn't trade it for the world
Greetings, this is Rev. Glen Horn from Pensacola, Fl. If you would get some bags of lime and spread it on your compost pile, it will break the leaves down to soil. It worked for my grandmother for years. All dirt she ever bought was potting soil. You are doing a fantastic job getting your place set up. Just keep praying that Almighty God will continue to give you wisdom and wise counsel on what to continue to do to improve your plans there. Hope all goes well for you’all. God richly bless you!
You have the best site for homesteading and the best site for "home" on RUclips now. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your home life. 👍
Ben and meg it is amazing what all you've accomplished in the short amount of time you've owned this property very impressive
"Compost is my love language." LOL, I love that, can SO relate! And those boys are learning a great work ethic and that work can be fun! Great job.
Thank you for letting us pop by and see all these exciting firsts on your land - first spot earthworms started thriving, first piglets, the purpose built smoker yay!
Ben your becoming so comfortable in front of the camera......you have definitely grown confidence and appear to be conquering the utube venue hats off to you ....good work ...
L.A from Canada
Ben, you seem to be in your element on the Homestead! And letting the Boys participate will build character and create memories they will carry with them the rest of their lives! God Bless The Hollar Homestead!!!
Cutest cameraman ever!! And he did an awesome job. 🤩
Great vlog!. Your children continue to impress me. Not only did they do the jobs they were assigned, they did not complain one time! Your boys seem to have an appreciation for how all that hard will reward them. Thanks so much for all the knowledge you share with us.
The chickens very good inspectors 🤣
LOL "that's rotten" - "it's just pre-innoculated!" love to watch folks who are just as excited about compost as I am!
Ben you have some seriously cute day laborers 💕
Love watching the boys enjoy it! I was wondering about then helping pick/pull/ship soap? Perfect training for businesses!!
You’re making so much progress! I love watching how you’re healing your land :)
This was a very well done video. Kudos to the camera man and the other helpers. Your place is coming along beautifully.
Compost is my love language too! It can heal your land for sure.
I love watching your life bloom.
When you gave us a close up of the smoked pork, I swear I could smell it! :) Good job on the compost bin. Your boys are hard workers!
Your teaching your boys good work ethic and family values. I like what Meg said, "healing the land a little at a time".
Ben I am so happy that there’s other people that enjoy making compost. You are my people ❤️
You heal the land and the land heals you :) I love the title too - very esoteric with a sense of humor!
I will give y'all credit with the boys they are hard workers, and don't mind doing it. Tip your boys well. They deserve it. Have a great day
You are all doing such a fantastic job and the kids are learning and don't even see it as a lesson but as helping dad out with chores. It will do them well if they take up in your footsteps. I think it's just awesome. This is how we learn without feeling like we are in a classroom! Love it! You both remind me of a saying my dad always said as we learned well from life and a large family......."when the going gets tough, the tough get going".........so anyone who falls on difficult times in life either lets it take them over or they get up and get moving and resolve what needs to be taken care of. Another of my fathers says was " hard work never killed anyone".........and so true. All his siblings lived into their later 80's and 90's and he had cousins who lived to over 100. All worked hard and had a strong work ethic and yet they knew when to rest and chill, ergo all their children worked hard and so it goes through the generations.
You two are prime examples. When you see a need you set to work to fix it. And you do! You are both talented beyond and always with a good smile or a comment of positive nature.
Excited to see Ben's knives in production whenever he starts those. I am sure they are beautiful from previous photos I have seen. Wondering if any are in the works or available to view and/or purchase.
Excited for that and am envisioning Megs explosion of soap production! You are rocking it and rolling it!
Could you even imagine 5 years ago where your lives would be today! What a blessing and life challenge and you are "in it to win it'..........rock on and keep on keeping on!!!!!
Blessing and enjoy your Christmas break!!!!!
The young guys did such a good job. You are so blessed to have all that help.
Your life, although, busy and tiring is just amazing. I look forward to your videos. Your boys are so cute and you are instilling such good work ethics into them. Love the Hollars!
Your title is so... scientific! LOL! That smoked picnic ham though. Oh mercy.
It’s so wonderful to see your kids out on the land, not inside glued to devices 24/7. Does me good to know there are families working together, producing something. God is good.
The baconettes are so cute
Working on the same type of compost myself. Done a small batch last year and it's the best looking compost I ever made.
Love your family. So inspired by your many talents hard work and instructionals. You have definitely come a long way on “rehabing” the property. It’s truly a diamond under the rough. It’s amazing at how much the pigs have contributed to clearing your brush and tilling the soul. Have watched Justin and your help with him. It really warms my heart to see y’all getting “back to the land” and leaving the plastic world behind. You’re living and caring for the earth as God designed. God Bless you all
LOL "Compost is my love language" it is your Jam. been binge watching from the start of your trip, currently up to this one, after seeing you ( Meg) do the garden tour with Jess. loving the journey, and I love the strength and love that you both share. The values you are teaching your boys is incredible. That shows . and on a personal note having been thru what you went thru a few years ago ( with my now ex partner) including the going yellow. well done, stay strong and be proud of yourself. he is just over 5 years now, but as often the way, had to hit rock bottom to see it for himself. Thank you for taking us along with your journey. I feel so connected to you all, bless you , Leah xx
Oh my gosh, this retired science teacher LOVES your video title!!! It totally cracked me up!!!!
I loved the way your son agreed that compost is cool. The ONLY reason he thinks compost is cool is because Dad thinks compost is cool. You can see how much your boys look up to you. You're a great dad.
Ok. So before I even start the video, I have to say that I LOVE the title. Joel Salatin would be so proud. Carry on...
Great job on the compost pile! And I would most certainly do a happy dance too if I got to taste such a yummy piece of pork!
Someone said compost was his love-language. I'm thinking smoked meats may figure in there, as well. Thanks for a fun, informative, video. Also, I'm totally impressed with the fact that your kids will do mucking out chores without sobbing hysterically (unless you just don't show that to us) about how you are being mean. ;)
Congrats on getting a project knocked off your list...and how awesome to have such great helpers!
Your "helpers" so such an amazing job. And I was so surprised and delighted to have an early video of you all to watch. You guys are my favorite! Keep filming!
Can't help it.....you guys just bring such a smile to me whenever I watch your videos. There is so much love in everything you do!
Compost is the best🍁When I moved to my new property, I saw no earthworms. Four years later, every time I dig in my food forest, they are plentiful.
Ive been watching your channel for about a month now..ive watched all vlogs showing how your family started your journey.. Im very impressed and how much of a great job you are doing and you are raising your kids perfectly. they wont be afraid to work hard. Most kids in the new generation want everything handed to them which is sad. your kids are different which is good. My kids do work but my son lives with his mom and he is addicted to gaming. your boys are great helpers. you two are not afraid to work either and that is awesome. I became disabled from an accident so I cant work like you all do but it brings me joy watching you all enjoy what you do. hopefully someday our paths will cross and I can meet you all..Im in Pennsylvania..take care and Merry Christmas to you both and to the boys.
The Hollars Rock, care about each...a Hollar video to watch is a good day for me!!!
Agree...I wait for there videos to come out!!❤
@@karenhernke281 Same lol!
You both seem to be very happy in this video. I hope life is treating you well and you have found your passions again
Oooooohhhh. Literally, that’s the sound I made when I saw that pork. It looks wonderful! Loved seeing all the critters enjoying the beautiful day, especially the boys. Ben - the beard’s looking good. You’re all set for winter.
Just a tip to make things easier: you only need 3 sides to the compost bin. Then you can just dump the leaves and manure directly from the wheel barrel instead of scooping it over the pallet walls. Farming is about efficiently using time and energy. Things you never have enough of on a farm. You should also grow some root vegetables like radish and turnip to loosen the clay soil you have. You don't need to eat it yourself, that's what the pig is for.
I love how you are using the resources on your land along with your livestock to make your soil and property whole and healthy.
It's so nice to see you having fun as a family doing your project's. I have so enjoyed this vlog you make me feel like i am their with you.The boys seem to have really taken to the homesteading lifestyle. Glad Meg came on at the end of the vlog I miss her vlogs even though I enjoy yours Ben. Anyway God bless you all lots of love x
That compost section looks great. I'm happy to see everything is coming along just fine. I hope you all have a blessed holiday season.
You gentlemen did an awesome job......good team work.....bravo.
Love your videos! So very well made. But neither of you come across as professional actors, as so many bloggers do! All totally natural and real, as you allow us to come with you on your journey.
Hopefully , you will not change the way you make them.
As always, thank you for entertaining me.
Sincerely
Rod
You guys make me wish I was young again.
yep at 66 me too.
Kathrine Kerns were not dead yet!! Even if its just 1 shovel full, we can do it!! Now get out there and grab some chicken poop!!
We're starting over building a new market garden on our 18 acres this springtime 2020...
Our old location, similar to yours, had 7500' of rows tilled in with leaf compost/ wood chips; it really works... red clay turned brown soil over 5 years. Nature at it's best with a little help.
Truly enjoy your homestead, TY.
Nice job and black gold is right around the corner 👍
Awesome job! Compost is a great love language!!!!!
"Healing the land, one little earthworm at a time." Awesome Hollars
Poo is the love language. I agree. I love it when my husband buys me bags of horse poo for my garden. He knows it makes me happy
The Hollar family is awesome love watching the both of you & your children. ✝️
Rent a wood chipper after you collect a good amount of dead trees. Turn it into a fine mulch and add that to your chicken coop and then into your compost pile. (Or just use the wood from the sections of forrest that you're already clearing with the pigs) Also check local farms for spent hay so you can also add that to your compost process. Also you could start a worm farm for potent worm castings. Just feed them food scraps, BUT make sure you blend the food scraps (fruits and veggies) with water to better feed and hydrate the Red Wriggler worms.
All good ideas! I just have one word of caution... when getting hay or manure from farmers, make sure that the hay (spent or digested) wasn't sprayed.
Love your work. The boys are learning a great deal without even realising it.
You could leave ONE wall of the compost bin open and drive "Henry" in and dump. Then a HALF wall with a ramp, and then finish the wall. Might save effort/time. Love seeing the boys involved.
the best is when volunteer plants start to grow in the compost bin! Tomatoes and pumpkins seem to love it!
Great work everyone. Your veggie gardens are going to love the compose
Great Compost Pile. Congratulations on your Soap. I missed out but will catch your next round. Yum Yum Good Eats God Bless and Peace Be With You All ☮️🙏 ❣️
That was quite a bit of work you and your children finished. Thank you to all of the boys. PS: I giggled when I read the tittle!
Men at work. Great job guys!
Great job! Love seeing the boys help out. So jealous of no snow on your ground and no Winter clothes on. 30 degrees here in Wisconsin. It was below zero this past week. I wanted to cry. The piggies look so cute and really are growing. Love you guys. Karen
Wow that meat looks so good. You guys did a Great job helpers come in handy. Yaa boys👏👏. Thanks for sharing ❤
Love your camera man, Too cute! Who knew that it was that little guy was doing such a great job. Cool you gave him the opportunity.
Your camera man did a great job!
You know you’ve been Hollared when you are clapping a compost pile!! Love it 😃
Man I love watching yalls progress. I look forward to seeing y’all next update. Keep up the good work.
A blessed Christmas to the Hollar Family !!!
Oh I love compost. And I love chickens. When you look up symbiosis in the dictionary there should be a picture of a chicken in a garden. Love the video Ben thank you,
Jimmy
Nothing like the art of zen compost bins
Compost is my love language too! I live in town and may or may not have collected over 100 bags of leaves off the curb this fall!
Great work boys,nice to see you helping your dad,good men in the making.
Lol Its nice to know i'm not the only one who gets excited about the compost cycle!
IKR! I not only like to make it...I feel like I go into some sort of zen mode when I sift it for different things. I lose track of time and everything.
@@theIAMofME Me too!
Petunia sho do like you Ben!! All that sweet snortin goin on, lol, just had to!! Great job, lookin marvelous and handsome assistants there dude!! Love, HUGS & Blessings
Compost is my love language too! When I couldn’t make enough I had compost 2 years of my birthday gift being compost. Keep the diamonds and beauty treatments, just give me compost!
When it comes time to spread it on your garden beds, don't bother digging it in. Let the worms do it for you. You can plant straight into it. Where I am it's called No-Dig. Charles Dowding is quite the guru on this method. ❤
Clare Love absolutely love his channel!
Because it's such heavy clay and very compacted the first year you have to dig or the earth will crack in summer, but after that you can do no till garden
Love Charles Dowsing, he's so inspiring.
Compost is my love language 😂😂😂! Great job! Yes sir homegrown compost is so EXCITING! Our bins are made of pallets as well. We actually buy red worms from time to time and add them to our piles to speed up the process. Adds the benefit of worm castings. I actually make a concoction using black strap molasses to keep the fire ants out. Here in Mississippi fire ants will ruin a compost pile. Love your channel. Oh and I LOVE those nesting boxes😊. Keep up the good work and God’s blessings to y’all!❤️
What's the recipe to keep fire ants out?
Becca g I put about 1 cup of Black Strap molasses in my watering can full of warm water and saturate the pile every so often. If you’ve already got them in the pile you might have to make it stronger and do it everyday for a few days. They HATE it and will pack up and leave. I try to stay ahead of them by treating couple times a week. Hope this helps😉
Old school composting recommends adding an inch of soil for every two feet of soil and manure. It adds billions of micro-organisms above and beyond what the leaves and manure can provide. We always used the added soil to speed up the decomposition phase of the humus. :)
6:18 “If I don’t get outta the compost bin I’m going to be compost!”
I laughed
Beautiful job with the boys... Nice seeing you working on the soap...
I must say, from when you first bought your property to how it looks now is FANTASTIC! It looks like a lived on farm. Looking so-o-o Good! I love it! Art in CA
Love the video of the horse trails, I love your channel and how you really enjoy your job. Plus the veggie boys side of the farm. Family is everything and you guys help each others business. Great job Joel. And Lauren best wishes for your hernia operation. They are not fun. You have been thru a lot with having the twins. Take it easy. Thank goodness you have your sister here.
GREAT video. Ben, you are getting much more comfortable narrating what is going on on the farm. LOVE watching the progress you guys are making!
Those baby pigs are so adorable! 😁😁. Thanks for the shot of them!
Good video. We live in the suburb in South Louisiana and have hens and a neighbor who gives me all his grass clippings for my ladies. Every 3 months we clean out the chicken yard and use the compost in our back yard garden. Now we have fall crops of broccolli, kale, green onions, bell peppers, lettuce, and tomatoes. I also have 13 pineapple plants in a raised bed. The bed is 24 feet long by 4 feet wide and 2 cinder blocks high. Last year we harvested 2 pineapples. I also grow Bay leaf and Rosemary. I wish your grand boys could come help me. Blessings to you and yours.
I love that you are teaching the boys how to do stuff.
Great vids, Great Family, keep living the dream. Blessings from Oz.
Lol that's the way we roll, everything is held together by hay rope and zip ties, way to go,
