Kaylee turn over the ground and get out as many roots and vegetation as possible then tarp it. You want to prevent anything from growing back and unwanted seeds to start growing. Grass is a real pain to keep out. Keep it tarped until you plant and then have lots of mulch ready or use the heavy duty landscape cloth. There are lots of pros and cons but find what works best for you. Start a mulch pipe with the cow page and other vegetation you cut down and in no time at all you will have wonderful compost. In that climate seeds can take hold very quickly so tarp is necessary and then vigilance. I'm a gardener so give a shout out if you have any questions.
Tarp, newspaper or cut up garbage bags. Personally I like to use newspaper but it's up to you.
@@aggiewitsend7206 Newspaper is great.
Cardboard or old carpet work also, just cut holes and plant....James
@@aggiewitsend7206 I like newspaper and cardboard also but suggested tarping because they seem to be in a place that gets high winds and tarp would be easier to secure. Newspaper would also be the cheapest so worth a try.
I agree. You'd definitely need a lot of rocks holding things down for sure.
Small world...my wife & I passed by you at the Boquete Farmers Market on that Tuesday. It was our last day there after visiting for one week. We stayed up at Los Establos. Boquete is an amazingly beautiful area with equally amazing people! We have had the opportunity to travel to many Latin American countries over the years and Panama is one of our favorite trips by far. You picked one primo spot to lay down roots! We'll definitely be back soon!
Instead of clearing the land cut the grass down super short over and over until you are ready to plant the seedlings. It will protect your top soil from washing/blowing away.
Keep your short patch larger than what you need but only "clear" the rows you need for the plants and cover the roots with plastic and your pile of dead grass from all your cuttings to keep the rows clear.
It will save you back breaking effort and preserve your soil.
Kaylee, to clear pasture and prepare for planting, you should use a tarp on the field for a week or two. That will kill the grass and save you a lot time clearing. You can google market garden silage tarp to get ideas.
Let Lola center herself in your shot. She is so heartwarming.
In the states you can rent a “sod” removal machine (about the side of a lawnmower) to remove the grass. Very quickly, worth the money. Bet, you can find this machine where you are at too at a local garden center/home depot/etc. There are videos on you tube for these. I would recommend you guys really map out your plot of land with your ideas of buildings, walk ways & land scape. Seems like you might not be planning it out properly with regards to where the sun hits the land & what shade plants should be at & where the garden will grow best. You can always talk to local garden center owners for really good advise on where to put your garden. Even interviewing them on camera (to give them free advertisement).
Kaylee (I apologize if I misspelled your name) stop breaking your back digging up that ground. If you want to plant now then continue but if you don't mind waiting a few months to plant there's a better way to do it. Get some hay and lay it down in the area where you plan to put your garden. Make sure to have at least 6 inches deep of hay and then if you want to put a tarp over it to make sure that the sunlight does not get through to the ground to allow anything to grow but I've never used a tarp. After a few months the ground under the hay should be nice and soft and super easy to dig into. Just spread the hay apart where you want to put your hole to plant your seed and plant it. If you keep hey laid down in between your crops it will help to cut down greatly on the weeds and it also helps to retrain moisture so you will not have to water your crops as often.
You can buy a bundle of cardboard boxes in David for about $12. Put
them on your garden to block weeds and plant through holes in the
cardboard. You can cover the cardboard with rice hulls that you can
get free from Tia Maria. You will build up the soil and reduce your work.
I was going to suggest the cardboard or news papers. I like the rice hulls idea!
The BEST episode ever....because I watched it while sipping on my Morning Movement! I'm in Rexburg, Idaho under about 3 feet of snow but my heart (and taste buds) are in Panama!
you mean BM...
kevin welsh a coffee called morning movement.... did they not make the poop correlation 🤦🏻♂️
For the gardening I recommend double digging raised beds. It's a bitch to do, but you never walk on them, so they stay soft. They're also much more productive per sq. Ft. than traditional row gardens. They terrace well and will help with avoiding wash outs. Get the book The New Self Sufficient Gardener, by John Seymour. Get your soil tested to understand what amendments may be needed for each crop you're interested in growing. Their university system may have a soil testing service? That book is truly excellent! Plant lots of perennial veggies like asparagus which will feed you year after year with minimal tending.
FYI... When you put your "rain roof" back up, close in the sides!!! Like little walls to block the wind and keep it from blowing apart again. Put a door into the high side to have access for storage underneath.
Afternoon guys, such an industrious time you're having. Can I just say, cows won't eat grass that's been picked because it's already started to deteriorate and they can smell that. To them, even if it's only been picked moments before, it smells bad to cows, sheep and some other animals. A nice but fruitless gesture. Coffee is on its way... Can't wait!!
Not true, we green chop for the cows....James
Every shot is BETTER w LOLA!!! More of LOLA plez!
Awe....so cute.
Ignorance is bliss. That "cow" with the male parts and his friends will love eating that garden just about the time things sprout.
@@teknav1 Shhhhh. Maybe they won't see any of the bull comments and she'll try milking it one day.
Best way too clear weed , put a cover ( Tarp / plastic ) over for few weeks .
Did you think about putting the pillars under axles? It would have given you a damper for the earthquakes.
So sad 😢
"Cut it horizontally, never vertical"
*Immediately starts cutting the Jackfruit vertically*
I was just about to say that!😀
Yup...Ask someone for advice and do the opposite
Unbelievable!
They do that all the time.
Mixture of youth, arrogance and air headedness.
@@johnchase4408 Or he just made a mistake.
Just a suggestion rent a rototiller to clear spot for garden. Using a pick axe for extended period if not used to that type of work can mess up the back.
My coffee is due to get here today!😃 and Brittany told me that Jordan has a way of brewing the coffee and I’m dying to see how that’s done! I know Arturo pours the water in a circular motion... I just find anything to do with coffee, just fascinating... share, share, share 😃😃💕
Kaylee with the blisters on her hand, shows you're working hard! Honestly Jordan got the easy job of leveling the bus. :)
Or it’s from the gym...
Its not cows, but bulls :)
Save the big seeds from the jackfruit and grow them. My daughter did. They will grow really well in your climate!
Finally signing up for a VPN now! Thanks!
If you have visiting cows, save yourself some heartache and secure the garden from munchers before planting. Can you not hire a rotary for a day. Greetings from Melbourne. Lynda
Bring a little heaven to earth....Plant a Garden!
Great video!!! Did you guys undercoat the bus? To prevent moisture from rusting the floor out.
Protect those pretty eyes miss Kaylee! ❤️❤️
Maurice S I agree 😵
Yeah cuz the rest......
12:28 I swear I saw a house land on her in the Wizard of Oz.
Better put up a fence before you plant or Lola/ cows will tear up that garden. They don't know any better. You sure won't have to go to the gym today after all that work. Haha. Be sure and space the rows and seedlings far apart because if they are too close together, they won't grow. I am with Kayley. Jackfruit looks yucky.
@@teknav1 ooops. Didn't think to look.
Have you thought about selling the engine, transmission, suspension parts, tires, rear axle, etc. to help finance your project? There must be local Chev trucks that could use your unused spare parts.
Worthless. Vehicles go to Panama to die. All of Central & South America are vehicle graveyards.
They should have let a local buy it too. $2000.00 US TOPS for that schoolie.
@@johnchase4408 They said they plan on living in it until their project is done.
How the hell would they get rid of it if they got rid of all those parts? They couldn't move it off the property without a suspension and other parts. And I don't think they want to be looking at that piece of junk ten years from now rusting out.
@@stevewainwright3344 It sounds like they installed it permanently on the property, so with proper rust prevention, it should be there for along time. The way things rust in tropical climates, the wheels probably won't turn after a few years.
it will be there along time because the tires are going to rot out and they won't spend the money that it will take to get it out of there. And the time to keep it looking nice once they build that tiny house. Unless you completely get rid of rust,
Rustoleum paint won't stop it from rusting. And unless you keep it waxed the paint
job will eventually go to crap. Trust me, I've taken care of vehicle for over 65 years
so I know where this is headed.
You probably should have put a compliant layer in your piers tuned to not resonate with the resonant frequency of the bus. In other words, some decoupling of the earthquake forces from the bus. With the super solid supports every bit of every tremor is going to shake the bus.
You go woman, great effort. I know the strength and endurance needed for tilling the garden from grass. Ask your neighbour for manure, I’m sure they would be accommodating ❤️🇨🇦🥂🥂
you are going to have to build a culvert at top of property to divert the rain water around/away from your living area as your access road is higher than your living area and will result in a wash out when it rains........ you might already know this but I felt compelled to warn you..... also please say hi to your friends as i also watch their channel so it is coo, l now i get to see your situation from two different channel
Also, make sure that water from the cow area does not contaminate your well. For sanitary reasons. Test your well for parasites. And the water that you catch from the rain, make sure it does not get mosquito larvae or parasites either.
A ditch will catch the water from between the bus and the road , slope away from the bus to the ditch....James
You'll be speaking fluent Spanish in no time. May I recommend the "Pimsleur Method" to give you a head start. Locals always appreciate when you make an effort. But if you learn it well, you'll have more negotiating power too. Panama is classically about negotiation.
Also, try making cashew fruit ice cream. Make sure to wash the cashews and whatever you do, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT eat the cashew nuts unless you know exactly what you're doing. You can eat the cashew fruits (after they're washed), make ice cream with them, juices, or make sweets. But when it comes to the nuts, too many an American has had to be rushed to the hospital for eating under-cooked cashew nuts and have their stomachs pumped out. The roasting process gets rid of the oils from the cashew nut shell. These oils are so poisonous that one can use them as insecticide. So, it is totally totally necessary to learn from a local thoroughly on how to roast cashew nuts. Now, once you've done that, you can then go ahead and add chunks of cashew nuts to your cashew ice-cream. Again, hear I am writing to share with you tidbits about Panama so that you don't learn through the school of hard knocks. Important to learn some things from the locals. Both you and the locals can learn from each other. That's what Panama is all about. This is what enriches Panama. It's a cornucopia of races, ethnicities and cultures. Unlike in the United States, nobody in Panama expects you to assimilate into a Panamanian culture. And that is because Panama is all about integration, not assimilation. Again, that's what enriches Panama and makes it what it is. -just don't build A-frame houses or houses out of wood. We'll forgive you for your bus-house and smile at your cute eccentricity. But a wood house ... well, you already know our position on that. 😂 Welcome to Panama. Glad you're enjoying it. And regarding your motorcycle, as a Panamanian, I empathize with your plight of registering your vehicle. But this is not just vehicle registration. This sluggishness is with _any_ Panamanian government institution. The concept of time is very elastic. As such, to become a government employee one must first pass boot-camp at the Motor Vehicle Department. That is where everyone is trained to become a sloth. After that, the sky is the limit. We've even once had a president referred to as "The Big Turtle". //I say part of this is kidding, the other part of this is true. lol
So beautiful watching you guys develop your tiny home, it looks like an absolute paradise 😍
Kaylee, that was a bull (or possibly a steer as I couldn’t see well enough) that you were talking too. ☺️
I received my coffee yesterday! I can’t believe how amazing the smell is! I’ll be having my first cup soon!
Keep up the hard work! Things are falling into place!
I love getting the notice that there is a new video, it puts a smile on my face!
Love you guys!
Donna
Can you please tell me how the coffee is. I ordered a few bags myself just a few days ago.
Donna Earley i got mine too!
But wait! You cut the jackfruit vertically! hahaha.
Lola is the star I'd love to see more of Lola.
Jeff Cordes yes, me too. Lola is the best.
You need to take the tires off because they will rot. Put them in the shed
Good point!!
Kaylee, thanks for not pretending! 😉 What did the jackfruit taste like??
God, you guys are so cute!! Kaylee "That's about it!" I love the way you guys are so completely natural. And was so glad to see Mr. & Mrs. Adventure being part of your community, love them, have been watching them for quite some time, as well as you guys. I am so excited for you all and what you are doing and you so clearly have made ALL the right decisions. More power to you!!
Hi Linda! We are excited to be here helping and we are publishing our first video about Panama this Thursday 🤗
Got our coffee yesterday, guys! Thank you...It’s delicious 😋
More Lola!
Watching cement blocks being permanently attached to the skoolie is sooooo exciting yet sooooo terrifying!love you guys! I want nothing but the best for you two!!
I love when ever I see nomadic movement posted a video, it always helps make a bad day better, thanks for sharing, and giving me a little bit of my Lola fix, that dog is so dang cute love her, the property is looking good, so happy for you guys good luck all the hard work will pay off some day, as always thanks for sharing and God bless love ya nancy
Ialways love yourloving kindness toeach lift my sprit so see the beauty of your land Godblessyou both
Your carrots will be stronger if you direct sow into the ground. Same with your lettuces. I look forward to seeing how your first garden turns out in a new climate and as you grow your knowledge base. Cheers~
That jackfruit! So healthy and countless ways to prepare it 💚 AND the cows💚big sweet grass puppies💚
Both of you are doing a really great job of learning new skills, constantly learning. Have you considered using the roof of your bus to help collect rainwater? You could put a smaller rain barrel near your bus that would collect the drainage from the roof area.
I like how you put many differnt activities in your videos it helps so we don"t just get you working on the build! great job keep it up!
Another great video. I can't tell you all how excited I am for my El Salvadorian adventure. I look forward to coming back to the US and spreading the word how amazing of a time I had.
So stoked watching this project. Also enjoying some afternoon morning movement.
Love your videos guys and currently saving get my own bus.
Work smarter not harder, Covering the area with plastic sheeting for a while will kill off the weeds, leaving you with weed- and plant-free soil for your new garden space.
That's what I was gonna suggest. Save your back some.
I love seeing Mr and Mrs Adventure working with you. Wouldn’t it be something if Trent and Allie came back for a grand reunion?! Bet Frank and Lola like that too. Love you all!
I get the feeling something happened and there is more to why they all split up.
@@jackolantern404 If they were still traveling you might have a point. But I think it is simply more that plans changed.
@@helenholt1161 Certainly a possiblity and/or factor into the situation I wouldn't doubt at all.
Happy to be here 😀
All you have to do is to put cardboard on top of grass and wait for grass to dye and become a furtalizer ^_^
this one was better than usual. Less FaceTime video is sooo much nicer.
I hate to tell you. The girl cow you were trying to give the grass to was a bull. 😃
Grow jackfruit! Our local vegan place does Fabulous meals with it.
I dont know, I might be wrong, but that's looks like a boy not a girl.
Yeah, I noticed that single utter. It was utterly hillarious. 😂
Id walk away to if ya call me a girl. Lol
Penis = Boy. Yep.
@@johnchase4408 Not anymore LOLOLOLOL
@@LuisVillalobosYT lmmfao 😃🤣🤣
That fruit is illegal in most towns because of the smell
I think you are referring to the fruit called Durian which smells like sweaty gym socks and vomit. Jackfruit is different.
It is even more fun watching you two after getting to visit Boquete
You both seem to really be embracing this part of your adventure. Great to see. Looking forward to seeing everything you learn and build in your beautiful new home. Keep sharing it all with us, please.
Long long in the future when our van is too expensive to keep running, this is exactly what we want to do - place it permanently on our own land. Thanks for showing how its possible :)
If the cows can get on ur side u need to protect the plants ur going to plant in the future cause they would eat the plants, a proper fencing would b best
dried jackfruit ... SSOOOO GOOD (: try dried 🌞
I'm enjoying this chapter of your life................thank you.
Nice vid guys! I would love to come help you build stuff one day when I'm down there with my bus. It would be prolly 2 years from now though, so you'll most likely be done with everything by then hahaha. Also, I love how Lola was bouncing through the tall grass when you threw that toy! So cute!
Yahoo for a level house!
Ask your neighbours for a tiller and btw you can introduce your self to them and make friends. Allways good to have nearby people you know.
I am glad Kaylee did not pretend! I want to see the thruth, not Hollywood
It’s so wonderful to see all the progress you are making!! Lots of work, you need a rototiller.
I got nervous watching the lowering of the bus while folks had hands and arms under there!
Kayle you are not alone... jack fruit is disgusting, I can’t even smell it these days. Miss Lola is the most adorable dog, she is just a pleasure to watch...
Word to the wise: Never sleep under a jack-fruit, bread-fruit or coconut tree. If a fruit falls from a tree it can kill you! lol My grandpa had a giant dent on the hood of his car for the greater part of a year because he parked it under a jackfruit tree. 😂
Kaylee, thanks for being honest. I'm not fan of that fruit either. And kudos for stick with the no make-up deal!!
Thank you Kaylee for being honest about the jackfruit ice cream. :) I like Jackfruit BBQ but won't be trying the ice cream.
Look up lasagna gardening, it's a lot less work. No weeding. Make the garden really small, with a really strong fence, with those cows around. With like stock panels.Then with a mesh roof too if you have dear. Also probably put it farther away from the cows or they'll be going through their fence constantly.
OK cattle.
I love it! Kaylee keeping it real! So tell us what you really thought about that ice cream? 😆
Great video guys! Haha, so funny Jordan, the kid said to cut the jackfruit horizontally and you cut vertically. I buy the powder, much easier, probably not near as healthy. Great job leveling Jenny!
Lol - you can’t fake liking the taste of something, 🤣 I had a chalky pice of fruit, too - I know that reaction! But, try making caramelized plantain ice cream with coconut milk - heaven ✨
Received the coffee. Thank you so much, simply the best!
Enjoy, be safe.
Beautiful
That looked as good as it tasted. You should have made pulled pork tacos with it, it cooks just like pork.
Got my coffee today...smells great can't wait 😁
That was a 'good guy' steer that Kaylee was feeding thru the fence.. You can tell by checking........mid cow..
Oops.
Hahaha your honest jackfruit opinion .... priceless!
So are you finally adding a bathroom in the bus?
Just hoping the cement blocks are quality. I’ve purchased cement items from other countries and have it crumbling and disintegrating within a year, while cement items purchased locally right beside them were fine. Could only figure it just wasn’t the same quality cement?
"The grass is always greener" ~cows.
Until you start shaking the grass in your hand. Then it's like the cow eyes get big and they say WTF? lol But doncha worry, the cows will get to know ya. 😂
Especially once they see all those new crops growing.,, I’d be getting the fencing secure before the cows come back and eat all the hard work.
Ordered my coffee last week can’t wait to try it, keep up the great videos, thanks
Check out amazing SSL....VPN scenario is at least some overstated
Looks like you guys are having so much fun! "That's about it"
I would spray the bus frame in a phosphoric acid based rust converter like Krud Kutter or Ospho. Then a couple of thick coats of tractor paint. That should give you extra time before the frame rots too much for use. I have been doing this to our rusty Pennsylvania bus as I convert it with great results. Use a respirator and eye and skin protection with the acid. It chemically converts the rust to a different material.
@@teknav1 Most acids will etch metal whether they cause rust or remove it. Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is one type of acid which removes rust by converting it (iron III oxide) to a form which can be dissolved in water. Most other strong acids cause rust. Ospho and Krud Kutter both contain phosphoric acid. I'm not sure of the molarity, but I'm sure it's on the mild side. Regardless, the rusty metal turns black with a water soluble white film that one can spray off, dry, and then paint to protect the surface. Check those products and you'll see. They're effective. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.rustoleum.com/~/media/DigitalEncyclopedia/Documents/RustoleumUSA/TDS/English/CBG/Krud%2520Kutter/KRK-02_The_Must_for_Rust_TDS.ashx&ved=2ahUKEwjIuZyclqDnAhXBW80KHSIBCBQQFjABegQIAxAI&usg=AOvVaw2G57kOGjlnDonudBpT06Rn
should get a cheap tractor to till your Beautiful land not only that but for everything else.
better than a gas/diesel tractor, it would be better to hire some kids from the village.
No Jordon we watch to learn not for anyone to say they like the food. It's not a cooking channel. Just don't recommend this recipe in your cookbook. Best of luck
We love all of your videos.
awesome video guys! jordan ur now the drone shot king, amazing views, wow, like im there with u guys. video quality is superb! love watching u guys making ur dream a reality & kudos to u both. so happy brittany & drew r with u & that they r taking part in this adventure! well they are mr & mrs adventure, so its fitting! be safe, have fun & work hard! kaylee ur gorgeous & glowing, luv ur natural look, pretty sure brittany uses very lil - no makeup, its the way to go! love u guys, ty!!

Do you have a crush on Kaylee? Ugh!
It's a grand adventure!
A wonderful gypsy junkyard
Watching this as I drink my first cup of MORNING MOVEMENT and OH....EM.....GEEE!!!.....😳 This is officially THEE best cup of coffee ive ever had..... and I've had a LOT of coffee 😁 THANK YOU so, so, SO very much for sharing it with all of us. Next time I'll know to buy more than one bag lol
I forgot to comment on the video before this one about Arturo's presentation. You guys make me crying with that video, but is OK 7 place is better that no place and LIFE is a learning journey, I will be praying for him for now on that he win next year.
