No need to expand the garden this year
As we are this late in the season some beads are becoming free. No need to expand the garden just use what I already have. This will give me time to do other things on the homestead.

Today I am building a new chicken tractor for my meat birds. Pastured broilers are so much better for you and the meat tastes so much better than any shop bought. So the time and effort is worth it. Hope you enjoy the video.

Nice 😊😊
Tnx 😁👋👋
Garden is perfect and you are right no need to expand it at the moment. Its so nice that your boys can help in their own way. Great lessons they learn on the farm. The produce you are growing is fantastic.
Thank you. Have to start teaching boys while they are young. Hope it will survive this heat wave is already a week now one more to go. Have to get irrigation done by next year
The gate was a really handy thing to do for that area. Just stopped raining where I am today. You are such an inspiration to see all the achievements great and small. Such a lovely farm.
Thank you. I am glad I can inspire someone to do good. How are you going with your garden? Still too cold at Blue Mountains?
Nice 😊😮
Thanks 😋
New sub 😊👍👌
Thanks and welcome
Ovo je kanal za govorno područje engleskog jezika ali zapratit ću i ovaj kanal 😁
Hvala vam
Sub from USA. 👍🏻
Thank you 👋👋
💪🏻
😁👋👋
WOW the farm looks incredible. The animals and the plants just lovely. The cats and the baby kittens are so lovely they are very sweet. The area is so peaceful and the birdsong. Wonderful homestead.
Thanks so much. We love every day that we are here. Lots of work still to be done but we have time and can take it one day at the time.
this is living! HVALA
Yeah!!
I was going to ask you about the mosquitoes as they are very bad here at the moment and it puts me off doing much outside.
Long pants and long sleeved shirt and that is how it helps me. But they are still bad.
@@MyCroatianHomestead Try teatree oil and rubbing alcohol mixed in a small spray bottle.
Tried it not working only when you are in full sun you are good.
We don't have enough work force, especially in construction so you better get use to waiting. 😬
I have got workers now and is no problem any more. Bricks are up where they belong.
Les lapins sont énormes en Croatie 😱🤩
Hehe yea that is a big bunny
You returned to Croatia to do agriculture while so many of ours run to cities. Respect!
Thank you. We got everything that we need here. Healthy lifestyle and family time is important to us.
That was so relaxing watching that grass get cut. I know what you mean about the grass that is like rope. I have some that appears and it does stop the brushcutter. Horrid stuff. The land looks amazing and was that a squirrel at the end running through.
How many acres of land ? I never realised your land extended that far down the slope .
Its 4.5 acres yea goes way down hehe
Thanks for the update..You have great patch of land just needs some work Like my grandparents place.
Thanks we love it here still more work to be done but I will get there
Bogu hvala! Lijepo je da se hrvati vraćaju u domovinu, nadam se u što većem broju. Nek vam je sa srećom
Hvala vam LP
Muy buena labor
Thank you 👋👋
Where did you buy the metal roofing sheets? I need some for a section of my house roof which has too shallow an angle for tiles.
I went to h metal asked them for factory seconds and picked some from the pile they had.
That tractor for the meat birds is brilliant its such a great size and looks so nice with the roof. Glad you got lovely weather there. Sunny but icy cold here at the moment dont want to go in garden at all.
Thank you. Finally the weather is turning here. And Australia is getting colder now. Good thing about Australia is that you can grow your garden all year.
💪🏻
😃👋👋
Animal breeding is coming along amazing. Looks like you have had a rainy summer can be annoying for work in the homestead but everything looks so green and its fantastic for the fruit and nut trees. Getting the honey would be fantastic. Nice to see you are making money from the geese such a great way to make money to go back into the homestead. The geese are gorgeous. The rabbits were very cute as well. I look at what you call the bush lol and I was thinking you are so lucky because its nowhere near like Aussie bush and your area looks to me more like a woodland area to clear. All looks lovely on the homestead and hope the weather gets better for you.
Hehe yea it is more like woodland. Is only spring now and hope summer will be much much better. Rain did not really ease off is still raining weather man is not guessing right. From what I see baby geese are the way to go. They need more work to get them hatched but they cost more when you sell them. Everyone does chickens here but not many geese. Hopefully something I can take advantage off. Still need to see how I go with selling adult geese.
You could try broken eggshells to deter the snails.
Hehe they are Spanish slugs have to learn some of it
kukuruz moze se to kupiti od susjedi
Yea I am not worried it was just a little for fun
;lisica dolazi u dvoriste
Yes must buy a guard dog
zec paprikas vidim !
Not yet. I have never done before
If I don’t plant my trees in barrels, the gophers eat the roots. I’ve lost too many fruit trees to gophers
I have similar problem here in Croatia now.
nice rabbits
Thanks
Love the cute babies having a ride in the wheelbarrow. The animals amazing. The massive amount of work you have achieved in the time since you moved to Croatia is truly inspirational.
Yea that was fun to drive them around and on to gras. I sometimes surprise myself when I look back how much got done but I always try to say to myself is not enough you can do more and better. I guess this is how I push myself to do more. 👋👋
I notice in Croatia and Hungary people don't seem to pull up weeds, they prefer to just chop the tops off with a hoe. That is OK for some plants but others just keep growing a new top on the existing root.
Yea people do that a lot here. They believe that without digging there is no garden. Now lot of them here think that I am crazy
Croatia farkern.. love your work brother 😂😂
Thank you 🙌
Wow !! Awesomeee 👍👍
Thanks 🤗
Fantastic must toast great.👍
It is so nice
My partner is Croatian and I am Australian born. We made the move 4 months ago, we packed our entire life and now we call Croatia Home. Australia has changed very much over the years, but now it's becoming extremely hard to live there. The people here are so friendly, what makes a huge bonus is that speak very good English, I respect the language so much, but this just urges me to learn this language even more. The way of life here is so simple. Europe at your fingertips. Im extremely lucky to now call this beautiful country my home.
Great to hear. All people here speak multiple language as Europe is at your fingertips like you said. Where did you move too. What part of Croatia. Good luck
@@MyCroatianHomestead We moved to Kutjevo, Požeško-Slavonska Županija, we used to live 1 hour South of Sydney. best of luck. Maybe there will be a club one day likes of King Tom in Edensor Park for us people returning back home from the around the world
You are about 3 hrs away from where I am in Croatia. Are you from Wollongong too?
@@MyCroatianHomestead Well your not far!! We were 1 hour East from Wollongong we were in Picton. We are neighbours and past neighbours!!!
Hehe Picton is nice but getting crowded. Lot of estates going around it.
Good Lord man, that is a helluva chicken coop!!! If you can do something like that, I wonder what your house will look like!
Hehe that was easy and house build os easy too have it all in my small finger. Thank you
Fantastic that is such a great looking chicken tractor.
Thanks 👍
Buen top
😁👋👋
You could start making those for sale!! Very cool!
Maybe one day still need to tweak it a bit not happy with the wheel base need to put steel angel I think. No time now
For the land and harder to get weeds and stuff what do you think about a goat. I have read that people use goats for clearing land no good for veggie beds but for the other areas? I read that they eat anything.
They are browsing animals and good for clearing land but after few years no use for them.
I have a lot of ornamental strawberries that grow wild and appear everywhere. The birds don't eat those but when I bought some proper strawberry plants they soon disappeared!
Birds do that. I am hoping they will leave my alone for now
Greetings from Ferdinandovac which is about 100km from you. I'm British but retired in rural Croatia.
Greetings. Hope you enjoy your retirement.
Weather looks fantastic, homestead is bathed in sunshine. Crops are going to be such a lovely abundance.
Yea the sunnis out and we are having perfect weather. I hear Australia has a lot of rain lately. Crops should grow fast
Muy buen video bro
Thank you 👋👋
Zdravo, from a croat from Wollongong , good to see progress on the house . 😊
Thank you 👋👋
Hey, what's happening with the house construction? On hold for a bit? Wife and i enjoy watching your videos. Pozdrav iz Montreala.
We have just finished bricking all the internal walls. Now have to calculate material for the roof but taking a small brake as I want the garden done and few more chicken tractors built
@@MyCroatianHomestead Thanks for the reply. Curious about the house. Are you going to build a flat roof? The reason I say that is that you poured a concrete slab rather than use wood joists or the more traditional system in Croatia of precast concrete beams and reinforced clay tile infills. Do you have an architect?
No we are doing a proper roof. Concrete slab is in case kids want to build up for themself. I do have an architect my wife hehe 😁👋👋
Really enjoyed this, thank you!
So glad! 👋
Siempre es mucho trabajo
Yes but I enjoy it
Bok!
👋👋
Everything is looking so wonderful like out of a movie almost. The animals and the planting and the house its all coming together. The geese are so lovely and such an addition to the land.
Thank you. Still lots to do and clean up but we are getting there. House built is the most important thing at the moment. The land needed some animals to graze and geese are the start. Hopefully soon I can get some sheep too
