    So thankful for your messages in these videos! Learning about all options - not just the standard gardens and orchards means folks can grow more and find the ways that work for them by trying as many methods as they can. We have a semi-traditional raised-bed garden using concrete blocks, but we use the "side pockets" (of the blocks) for perennial and annual flowers and herbs. We filled most of the beds starting with chunks of logs, twigs, grass clippings, wood chips, and straw/hay, put a thick layer of "top soil" (native soil and bought cheap stuff), and topped with our good compost and soil for planting. We also have incorporated some permaculture practices with our fruit trees, bushes, and plants (like strawberry, wild black locust, blueberry, etc) seemingly scattered around our small property. I'm gradually adding herbs and "wild" medicinals... Turning my yard into something other than grass and inedible weeds. 😁

      The neighbor's pond periodically gets raid by otters. On the other side of the road are three substantial ponds and i am sure the otters get those also and the other ponds that scatter about out area.
      I find if you have fruit trees, chickens, or even fish, you must prepared to defend them from the local critters. Even the local coyotes in the past have clear out my pear trees.
      It seems that almost every living critter goes after what I grow. And they have no concept of sharing and will take it all. i let up on the squirrels this year and my nectarines, peaches, and plums disappeared lol. I am not keeping any animals except farm dogs at the moment. But if you have animals, the coyotes and other carnivores may be interested. These include bobcats, cougar, raccoons, hawks, plus others. We even have bears these days. All of this in a suburban area.

    I have several doubts about your system, but I also see it as something very good to have and you make very good points.
    The biggest one is stepping on one of our pit vipers with the local water moccasin being the most common. They leave the bordering creek wetlands to live upland for some reason.
    But the other reason is that the native plants can be staging a comeback and mowing or weeding is needed on my land that recently was forest land. The comfrey looks like it might be thick enough under the trees to keep the other plants away.
    I have planted some thornless honey locust for the pods. The black locust I think is poisonous, but makes legendary fence posts and is being planted in a lot in countries for that purpose.
    I notice that the green briar has huge tubers and I think that can be eaten. Goats will certainly eat the leaves of green briar.
    Tactical, if I have food and others do not, my neighbors will be of concern and everybody has guns including those that might be hungry.
    I am looking at sweet potations zone 8b, peanuts, cassava, etc and other underground crops. I do not know enough about them relative to having to replant them.

He has a system he calls grocery row gardening, and it is large row gardening with annuals and perennials and fruit trees mixed together. It may be more of your liking with the risk of poisonous snakes (I get it, I'm from South Louisiana and there's no way I'd be able to handle such a spreading floor layer down there. I could do it up here (Southern Illinois) but I don't own my land and can't put perennials more than some flowers around here.

      @carolmalko615 Год назад +1

      bone sauce is not a BBQ sauce you would eat. To my understanding, it's a concoction that Billy brews up over a firepit for over 24 hours. It has animal bones in it (hence the name). It's cooked down into a thick black sauce that they bottle up. You would spread it on trees to keep the deer from the area. It stinks from what I've heard. Danny and Wanda at Deep South Homestead use it and swear by it. I hope I'm somewhat in the ballpark for the explanation but I have not used it.... at least not yet. We are new on our homestead and may just find that we need it! If so, I'll be ordering from Billy.

    Billy, I keep hearing you misuse the scripture "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." The scripture is talking about the coming of the Messiah, not just to be happy every day. The Day of the Messiah is much more special than every other day. You should use that verse on Palm Sunday to celebrate the triumphal entry.
    Psalm 118:
    22
    The stone which the builders rejected
    Has become the chief cornerstone.
    23
    [c]This was the Lord’s doing;
    It is marvelous in our eyes.

    This is the day the Lord has made;
    We will rejoice and be glad in it.

      We should be thankful and worship God daily, but it is not right to take away from the truth of God's word or to pervert it. I see that satan has been very successful in churches to replace the Gospel of the Messiah with a false gospel that overlooks the main message of Christianity: that God's Messiah has come to establish His Kingdom.
