SEE YOU ON THE NEXT VLOG. GID BLESS YOU ALL. I DO PRAY FOR YOUR WHOLE FAMILY. CHOW FROM SE MICHIGAN'. BEEN RAINING FOR DAYS . 🌧️ 🌧️
A flame-weeder?!? I love it! I just had to think of a guy in TX, who used a flame thrower to deice his driveway in one of last year's ice storms. Hilarious... LOL!
When we first started dating my now husband of almost 40 years had five yellow shirts! He wore one every day under his uniform shirt. Too funny 😁, thanks for the good memories 🙏🏻🥰
You are blessed. God does provide. We are still trying to save for land. As always we have had a few trials thrown in but starting to save again, This was our year of letting our ground rest, God's blessing to you and yours
We did that to get grass to grow and it worked so well. We went to an old saw mill and brought it back in truckloads. Of course, we were told to get it from the older area not the newer area for better results. It did so well that we planted some tomatoes and cayenne and jalapeno pepper beds too. I never would've thought it would've been that effective. Probably the best soil we ever could've gotten.
Congratulations on the new seeder, cardboard is a great way to smother and prep too, you guys have grown so much since I first started watching you, Micah was just a baby baby ❤️🥰 Ps Laci you are my soul sister, I always wore sandles in the garden and was called crazy 🥰🙏🏻
Hi..... Mike Dickson and Lacie nice to see you both love watching your videos, thank you for showing your video homestead chicken Duck Goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐈🐐🐝🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Mike you look great in those yellow shirts in case Laci hasn’t told you so. I love when your whole family and a dog or two is out there working with you. Blessings to y’all and to Sarah. TFS xo💕👍💕🐶💕🐶💕🙋♀️💕
That was a funny comment about your shirt and the seeder matching colour. Being able to own good tools and equipment is such a pleasure as they save time and can be game changers. I hope this new seeder is a game changer for you guys.
Everything is made easier with the right tools. The right attitude and approach to obtaining the tools will help you in the long run. Get it when you can helps keep everything in perspective and makes everyone appreciate the new equipment. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
I love seeing your family work, children learning as you teach and train up with good work ethics. They are beautiful , healthy and strong 💪. I pray God’s blessings upon your family and life! Love y’all, from Louisiana✝️
Mike 3 years ago I purchased a Jang after watching Curtis Stone videos. I have yet to put a seed through it. Maybe next year. Keep up the great work and videos
Dont know if it's been mentioned however, being a 3rd generation American farmers daughter my grandfather and my father taught me how to keep hand tools like shovels, rakes, hand trowels, etc any tools that your putting in or using soil, cement, gravel. They had buckets and bins loaded with a mixture of sand and regular motor oil so that it looked like wet sand consistency, clean what dirt or debris off the tool e en to go as far as wash with water hose, and then stick that tool onto the sand bucket or barrel up to the wooden handle and leave it in there until your needed it again. The sand mixture cleaned any remainder debris and the oil kept the tool from rusting and remain its sharpness. Another benefit to this is when you used the tool the next time debris didnt stick to the tool so much. Your shovel looks like it could use this method. I'm 58 years old and I still have tools that were handed down to me by dad and grandpa that look almost new. To this day we still live and farm the original homestead that's 30 acres. Rotate crops, add fertilizer from the cows and horses and other animals, along with other nutrients to keep the soil healthy and productive. Like you we have what ever you can think of planted in our gardens and orchard. Love watching others maintaining their homesteads the cold way and teaching the new generation how to live off the land. Its lessons like this I've chosen to instill in my children and now grandchildren just the way I was taught. Nothing better than sitting at a table full of homegrown food and a fresh pitcher of milk or juice. And enjoy the fruits of yuh our labor. And like you, we dont have to go to a fancy gym to maintain a healthy body and muscles. Love watching the family working together making memories that will never be forgotten.🚜🗺🌎👨🌾👩🌾👩👧👦
Greetings from Coastal Georgia! I’m still at the beginning of the video but I like what I see and wanted to comment early. Your garden looks so nice all clean and with straight rows. You have really done a great job transforming the soil to a more pliable and healthy growing space. Hi Lacy! 😊 🥱 😊 Thank you for sharing!
Everything is made easier with the right tools. As they say 'slowly but surely gets you far', with that attitude you and Lacy have come far with obtaining your equipment for the farm. I am so happy that at last Lacy has a seeder that makes it easier for her . I love the way the children are willing to help and interact.
Suggestion: I see all those trees around your property. Get some KID energy, and get them to rake all those leaves, twigs, fallen bark, and even some of the topsoil into piles. Then make Compost piles out of them by seeding them with all the chicken and goat poop you can. Then just allow nature to do it's trick until next spring. Then put it all through a chipper/shredder (or even an old lawn mower if a chipper isn't in your budget). Then spread it as a compost on top of your beds to help keep the weeds down, add nutrients to the soil, and make a nice Topping for seedlets transferred into it in spring. Just MHO. Blessings being sent your way!
Would sure be nice if some company would give you a more powerful tiller in exchange for you endorsement!!( Honda or Troy Bilt or someone else!) Maybe think about putting an edge on your shovel to cut into the ground easier. God Bless!( nice to have Saleh doing the driving on the farm!)
At the hollar family they are just staring out I caught and old film of theirs of a couple of years ago and you can see how much more confidence ben has now. On the last couple of videos justin rohades has with them on turkey and meat harvesting his ability show through, and his turkey skills made catching them much eaisier. I have not been aroud to see on your growth, but i knew sincer you were clearing tree and clay soil takes years to improve!!! P. S. I love yellow to even if my skin tomne is not so sun taned as yours so i don't look as good as you in yellow.
Another trick in the off seasons for dense soil is DANDILIONS! They air the soil. Especially clay! And the super tall ones with a milky sap are an incredible morphine like pain killer! Ask Lacy..she's knows what I'm talking about...
Wow !! Good job and I learned from you thanks so much I love all your farm equipment I have 10 acres land en Tennessee but we live en North Carolina and we going back and forth but we moving very soon there and do all of those God bless you guys
I was able to purchase a new Jang and a used BCS this year, they are both still new to me but I really needed these to get to the next level of market gardening. I really love the Jang but have only used it once so far.
Suggestion for you, write on the side of the seed holder, with a marker, which side is your "gear-side", so you make sure each time you are putting it back together, you get the gear on the correct side. Otherwise, you could be using it and not putting any seed in the ground....
Congratulations on your Jang seeder. I have been thinking about one and comparing other seeders. Buy once and have no regrets right? Hope it works out well for you and the family on your farm. 👍🌱
I also live in an area of heavy clay and was told to add gypsum to loosen it. I chickened out and just built raised beds and bought soil and compost for my little backyard garden. I do wonder, however, how well it would work in this kind of heavy soil.
@@anniegaddis5240 gypsum doesn’t solidify clay into cement. It slows the process so that a proper cure may occur. Perhaps drop the pseudo intellectual nonsense and condescension
@@vincentalaimo7527 absolutely correct Vincent. And sand does turn to a cement like product if it is left alone with clay however I assume he added a bunch of organic material as well or he will have problems.
Great video! I am having a hard time understanding adding sand to clay. I’ve always been taught that sand makes clay worse it actually makes clay harder and binds more. Jypsom is good to add soil but it takes a lot of working it into the soil from what I understand. It’ll be interesting to see how well that works for you.
I like this guy!! New subscriber here. I came from bodybuilding too, i have video on my channel of my recovery after a motorcycle accident where i both my femurs. But anyway, FITFARMER what kinds of rubber hightop shoes are those??? I could really use some working on my garden haha thanks
I think it's great you do so much by hand still, good role model fir us smaller gardeners, but when one's needs and garden grows, it does speed up things to have better tools
I bought a 4 tine Treadlite broad fork with Ash wood handles last December when they had a good sale. I used it in the garden and around my farm through the spring and summer. I love it! Mike had a discount coupon code for Treadlite in description of his videos at the end of November and in December 2020. Check description in this video, maybe a coupon code still there.. The blue 5 tine fork Sarah used in this video is a Treadlite with steel handles, and Lacie is using a 4 tine with ash wood handles.
I always enjoy the team work. N the yellow shirt.. if I find a shirt I really like I get two or three same color so I'm sure everyone thinks I'm wearing the same one as well..don't care lol
I would not wear sandals for that type of work! I am an accident waiting to happen. Almost sliced the tip of my finger off with a handheld grater back in August! I bled terribly and thank the Lord I had blood clotting powder!
@@ordinarypete I like the look of the Hoss and they don't make you buy every little thing as an accessory. It comes with most of the stuff Jang charges extra money for like the kickstand.
You need to check out the JADAM way of natural framing it will save you a ton of money making your own fertilizer, pesticides etc. i have been farming this way for 15 years i works great
That is a Sweet Seeder
Love your family videos. No make up, children all around but not staged. Your faith shines.
What down to earth family luv u all
Yellow is a good sunny color on you. Not anyone can rock yellow. Wear it proud.
You should wear yellow. It looks good on you. Congrats on the Jang. It’s beautiful
I am so BLESSED you you and your Lady LACIE
LOVE your new JENGA. FUNNY. I had my 💛 yellow boots tight by me. My banana boots to go with your yellow shirt and new toy. That was GREAT that Richard hooked you right up with this GREAT TOOL.

Terrific new tool! It makes a huge difference. Thanks for sharing! 😎👍 ~Sharon
Yea, for the Jang thang.
Like seeing your kids enjoying helping out
A flame-weeder?!? I love it! I just had to think of a guy in TX, who used a flame thrower to deice his driveway in one of last year's ice storms. Hilarious... LOL!
The bromance with the shovel tickled me lol. Love the channel
When we first started dating my now husband of almost 40 years had five yellow shirts! He wore one every day under his uniform shirt. Too funny 😁, thanks for the good memories 🙏🏻🥰
That's a blessing to have awesome product.
hi dickson family. I hope you have a blessed day
I love the yellow shirt ! lol Wonderful Video Mr and Mrs. Dickson. Lovely to see that you have some more help . Keep growing ! Blessings !
You are blessed. God does provide. We are still trying to save for land. As always we have had a few trials thrown in but starting to save again, This was our year of letting our ground rest, God's blessing to you and yours
Great team work . Go team fit farmer 👩🌾
I love you guys,God Bless.
When you get your sawmill running, cutting up trees, you could add some of the sawdust before tilling also.
We did that to get grass to grow and it worked so well. We went to an old saw mill and brought it back in truckloads. Of course, we were told to get it from the older area not the newer area for better results. It did so well that we planted some tomatoes and cayenne and jalapeno pepper beds too. I never would've thought it would've been that effective. Probably the best soil we ever could've gotten.
Careful with digging in wood.... its nitrogen hungry. As a mulch it will break down fine.... otherwise need to compost it first.
CONGRATULATIONS on YOUR NEW garden tool YOUR garden LOOK AMAZING THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO
Thanks for showing how to prepare the beds, I liked that , happy growing and seeder looks a good one,God bless your family 🙏🕊💖 xxx
Congratulations on the new seeder, cardboard is a great way to smother and prep too, you guys have grown so much since I first started watching you, Micah was just a baby baby ❤️🥰
Ps Laci you are my soul sister, I always wore sandles in the garden and was called crazy 🥰🙏🏻

That old shovel could tell some stories. See you this weekend brother?
I watch you all the time and enjoy the content
Good job! That equipment will xome.
You all are a great team; the entire family. Thanks for including us in your journey, fun and educational.

Hi Lacy! 😊 🥱 😊
Thank you for sharing!
You are blessed to wear yellow shirts. It complements your complexion. Not everyone can carry off that color as well as you.....so keep it up.
You guys encourage me. Thanks 😊
Great on the Jang, that tool is awesome.
Definitely put this on my shopping list when we finally get our land!
Everything is made easier with the right tools. As they say 'slowly but surely gets you far', with that attitude you and Lacy have come far with obtaining your equipment for the farm. I am so happy that at last Lacy has a seeder that makes it easier for her . I love the way the children are willing to help and interact.
Pretty nice tool there..
Have a good day 🌻🌻🌻
Wow that is so cool- how easy is that planting seeds. Great seeing the Family etc getting into it as well. Cheers Denise
It's all about the tools!

That's a cool looking tool Congratulations
Wow so interesting and eno
Encouraging.
Awesome. Jang is the apex. Congratulations. Fingers crossed on your Italian two wheel tractor.
I always do manure in the fall and compost in the spring. I'm in the colder climates and it is nice that it has a while to break down over the winter.
Nice - game changer !
👍👍 Nice good tools always makes a job easyer!!!
Would sure be nice if some company would give you a more powerful tiller in exchange for you endorsement!!( Honda or Troy Bilt or someone else!) Maybe think about putting an edge on your shovel to cut into the ground easier. God Bless!( nice to have Saleh doing the driving on the farm!)
Wow! That is an awesome seeder!! 😀⚘❤
Go to do a follow up on this one I guess to see how the spacing and planting works out. Curious if the little machine does a good job.
So very interesting watching y’all. Love to y’all from Loveland, Colorado city girl ❤️
Nice those Jang seeder are really nice. I remember my mom had a similar style planter, before we did raised beds that thing was awesome for planting.
I’m jealous ,nice seeder hope you have fun!
I can not wait to see you with your BCS!
At the hollar family they are just staring out I caught and old film of theirs of a couple of years ago and you can see how much more confidence ben has now.

We have had great luck with dandelions as well! Good tip!
Wow !! Good job and I learned from you thanks so much I love all your farm equipment I have 10 acres land en Tennessee but we live en North Carolina and we going back and forth but we moving very soon there and do all of those God bless you guys
I think you still could use that walk behind tractor though. It still requires energy input, so you wouldn't be missing out on exercise. 😊
I was able to purchase a new Jang and a used BCS this year, they are both still new to me but I really needed these to get to the next level of market gardening. I really love the Jang but have only used it once so far.
Having a garden party.
I would love to visit your homestead.
Suggestion for you, write on the side of the seed holder, with a marker, which side is your "gear-side", so you make sure each time you are putting it back together, you get the gear on the correct side. Otherwise, you could be using it and not putting any seed in the ground....
Congratulations on the Jang! We have been trying to work things around to purchase one for our farm.
Congratulations on your Jang seeder. I have been thinking about one and comparing other seeders. Buy once and have no regrets right? Hope it works out well for you and the family on your farm. 👍🌱
That's gonna come in real handy and save you a lot of time .
i agree with one of you other comment some aged saw dust would benefit you mound greatly just a little not alot and till it in great video
Tons of work. Gypsum is your friend for clay.
I have a mini cultivator as well, in my small backyard garden it’s enough. I love my hula hoe, or stirrup hoe it’s sometimes called.
Congratulations
Looks great!
You’ll probably find out that adding sand to clay makes bricks. What you need to add is gypsum to break down the clay.
Facts indeed
I also live in an area of heavy clay and was told to add gypsum to loosen it. I chickened out and just built raised beds and bought soil and compost for my little backyard garden. I do wonder, however, how well it would work in this kind of heavy soil.
Gypsum is in cement! Do some research first!
@@anniegaddis5240 gypsum doesn’t solidify clay into cement. It slows the process so that a proper cure may occur. Perhaps drop the pseudo intellectual nonsense and condescension
@@vincentalaimo7527 absolutely correct Vincent. And sand does turn to a cement like product if it is left alone with clay however I assume he added a bunch of organic material as well or he will have problems.
Maybe a pair of work boots for everyone, would be another wise investment!
Just love you guys
I have the same shovel here in France that I bought from USA, I have shovelled tons of stuff with it, it’s like a third arm 😅
Great video! I am having a hard time understanding adding sand to clay. I’ve always been taught that sand makes clay worse it actually makes clay harder and binds more. Jypsom is good to add soil but it takes a lot of working it into the soil from what I understand. It’ll be interesting to see how well that works for you.
I used to add sosme peat moss with perlite etc to loosen up the soil...maybe?
Have you thought about using gypsum ( clay breaker) to help with that clay soil
We use it here in Australia heaps works a treat
I like this guy!! New subscriber here. I came from bodybuilding too, i have video on my channel of my recovery after a motorcycle accident where i both my femurs.
But anyway, FITFARMER what kinds of rubber hightop shoes are those??? I could really use some working on my garden haha thanks

Did you build that propane weed burner? Cuz it's genius!
Is there a link somewhere for the yurt?
Yes young man pull dat pin... ;-) Family!
I’ve been praying about purchasing a broad fork. Any recommendations? I enjoy your channel and your sweet family!!!
I bought a 4 tine Treadlite broad fork with Ash wood handles last December when they had a good sale. I used it in the garden and around my farm through the spring and summer. I love it!

Greetings friends...
Has anyone noticed that off grid with Doug and Stacey have not put out a video for quite a while. I pray everything is ok for them.
They probably got busy w farm n get mas house finished her moved in plus the homestreaders group meets
I have been wondering, Pray they are all healthy and safe.
I'm wondering what happened with the Hoss stuff you guys used to have. Did the seeder not work out?
Just got me one and it’s working real good. I gotta feeling he got a little $$$ for this
@@ordinarypete I like the look of the Hoss and they don't make you buy every little thing as an accessory. It comes with most of the stuff Jang charges extra money for like the kickstand.

Nice job
Can this type of living be done anywhere? I would like to move to a place where I can start this type of living.
You didn't mention the little silver stars let you change spacing between seeds.
