Join us as we explore the techniques that inspire us, like permacul...
Please what's the title of the gospel song 3:11 playing in the background of the video?🙏
"Som Nyame" by the Adinkra band led by Sloopy Mike Gyamfi recorded at Bokoor Studio. I don't think it was ever released commercially, so it's unlikely you'll find it, though.
@livingsustainablywithus Thank you so much.By the way,I am sure that your Dad has the song and a whole catalog of good music.I am suggesting that you partner with these great legends and release the songs,maybe in honor to celebrate bokoor music and the studio contribution to art and good music. Ghana and the whole world needs to hear these masterpieces.
Timeless wisdom for generations to come. Thank you guys ❤️

Another insightful video, please touch on the off-grid power and water solutions in the next. Thank you.
That's a great idea. Thank you for the suggestion! We’re thinking of covering water first, especially with the rising water pollution issues here in Ghana. Rainwater systems can be an excellent alternative source. Would you like to see how we set ours up and how it works in our daily life?
@ absolutely, I’d love to see your set up and how it works, might replicate same on our farm site. Thank you.

Hello! Lovely looking toms! Please do you have advice on keeping a productive veg garden looking smart? Its different if permaculture is the goal or your garden is private. My home is at the back of my plot and so my garden is visible to all visitors. I dont want plastic and string and gubbins on show. Im looking at dividing up the space and using privacy screens, but have you seen any examples of smart looking veg gardens within contemporary design please?
To keep the garden looking attractive and yet still productive, you can use more decorative, raised beds, vertical trellises and arbors. Check Pinterest for some ideas. You can also use beautiful pots and containers. You have to keep up with weeding regularly for a manicured look but you can compost it and add it back to the garden. An integrated lawn can also be nice if the edges are kept tight. Look up Charles Dowding here on YT to see how keeps his edges.
hello you could try putting it in a carton with an apple or a banana. Both produce ethylene (riping gas) and dispense it. your tomatoes will enjoy the cooperation. greetings stay blessed and thanks for your content. ✨🤍
Thanks for the idea!
In Jamaica 🇯🇲 we call French thyme , use for cooking

You can do Verda salsa dear. So good
Sounds yum, thanks 🥰
Yaaaas that’s my family ❤️❤️
Thank you, dear Jane 😃🥰
Awesome, and it’s a yes for sustainable living.

Serbian salad! You could pickle them alongside other available vegetables like cabbage, onions, (non spicy or spicy) peppers 🌶🥬🍅🥕
This is lovely ❤
Thank you, James ❤️
This is beautiful ❤
Thank you, Mr Prince 🥰
Interesting.... learning from Sri Lanka ❤
Oh, lovely, and thank you ❤️
Could pickle them
Hmmmm, what do you eat with pickled tomatoes?
I make a green tomato relish that I enjoy on hot dogs. 🌭 We also eat it as a side with other meats. Delicious! You can look up fried green tomatoes which is a delicious Southern vegetable dish.
That sounds delightful. Thanks very much for sharing 😊
Will they ripen after sometime and turn red?
I've been told they will, so all is not lost 😊
