Homesteadin' In The City
United States
Приєднався 18 сер 2021
We’re friends who share a love for food, independence, and kindness for the spaces where we live. We’re learning how to make and provide our own food, discovering how our everyday items are made, and attempting to reuse and repurpose our possessions to create less waste and respect the world that we’ve been given. We're doing all of this on small residential lots in the Midlands of South Carolina. We believe you don't need a lot of land in the country to be homesteaders, in fact there can even be some advantages of more urban areas. We try a lot of things in our endeavors to learn our history and become more community-sufficient. Sometimes we succeed; sometimes we fail. Either way, we invite you along for the journey because everything is better with friends.
Homesteadin In The City November 2024 Garden Tour
Welcome to our November 2024 garden tour! 🍂 Whether you’re an urban gardener working with small spaces or a suburban homesteader growing your backyard dream, this video is packed with ideas to inspire your late-fall gardening. In this tour, we explore what’s thriving in the garden this month, looking forward to the winter, and planning for next Spring already.. 🌱
You’ll see how we maximize productivity in raised beds, containers, and small in ground beds using sustainable techniques like compost tea, cover crops, and special pruning techniques. ❄️
If you’re into urban homesteading, November is the perfect time to plant garlic, ginger, and overwintering brassicas-or even start planning for spring! 🌷
Homesteadin In The City is a group of friends who learn and teach how to grow what we eat and eat what we grow (and other nerdy stuff). Zach and April have been friends since college and now ` neighbors. You'll find Zach in his garden more often, and April in the kitchen, but they both like to do it all. Zach's wife Kara and puppy Percival also make occasional appearances. UA-cam is just part of this journey. More in depth tutorials and recipes can be found on our website www.hitc.city.

Percy's Pothole: A Short Film from Homesteadin In the City
Nice homestead. Looks more country than city. What zone is this?
Zone 8b. I use strategic planting (and camera angles) to create a more private feeling. You can actually see our state capitol and the downtown skyscrapers from our yard, and we’re a 2 block walk in either direction to two different transit lines.
@ very nice space. Subbed
Cool set up. I'm curious how much did this entire set up cost? Was it cheaper than getting a portable power station for around the same capacity?
About $350 total, but I got a good deal on a battery that saved me a little over $100
Mine do that if they don't get enough water
Round up killing the bees lives 1 mile from farm gound in the midwest had hundreds of bloom on watermelon patch two small melons that looks like your balls.
Yes. I though because it was late in the season as well
They grow balls every even numbered year and shafts every odd numbered year
Fuk yea❤🌱
nice job. clear and simple and no rambling :)
Thx. Hate ramblin.
thats a lot of loads
More are coming
Depends on what plants you plan to cultivate, wood chips will turn the soil very acidic unless treated with organic/unorganic ph changers.
Trying to get it acidic enough to make some sick homemade acid wash jeans
How long does this take?
I’m about two years in, expecting things to keep getting better as it goes
That's what I realized. For the soil to be living, it needs organic matter.
Yeah our soil is very sandy
Good setup, but I'd get a 12v air pump and save the inverter for emergencies
Good idea
that dog is having the time of his life
He’s our big helper! He churns up the wood chips and sand that break down into a wonderful mix.
e bike is not !! just regular bike will do much better,
Well an e-bike becomes a regular bike when the battery runs out, but with just a little solar power you can supercharge your legs so it’s a pretty good option to have.
Nice job with your food forest. Please keep us up to updated :)
Thank you! Will do!
super cool! very thoughtful and good wild look. also not over the top but replicable for normal humans
We are do for the normal human
that's actually disgusting do you know that has like Pig bacteria in it right you can't see it but it's in there
The heat kills the bacteria. We Southerners have been cooking like this for generations.
What variety of pineapple is it?
It’s your basic US grocery store pineapple, so likely a smooth cayenne.
I broke out just watching this
Funguy
Funjai
fun fact, you were actually holding one leaf made up of three leaflets, the “leaves of three leave it be” saying is still a solid moto to follow though. Also it’s a good idea to learn to identify Jewel weed (it has a few different common names) and how to use it, it grows usually relatively nearby where poison ivy is growing and it’s “sap” is a natural remedy to cut through the oil and neutralize it. It can also be used to help relieve an already existing ivy “rash”.
Thanks! I definitely need to do a follow up with more info and context!
I've never heard anyone pronounce fungi like that
There are at least three English pronunciations I know of, maybe that should be another video.
LOTS OF MUSHROOMS A FUN GUY? 🍄🍄🟫🍄🍄🟫#fungi #mycelium #pronunciation
😢 that's awesome
Thank you!!
Hold up. You can touch mycelium? I've never thought of doing that. Need to try that 😅
Yes you can!
Love it.
Orchard? That is a back yard garden.
There are about two dozen fruit trees in the rows. We are pruning them to stay small, and also they’re still young.
Glomus spp. is a genus of arbuscular endomycorrhizal (AM) fungi that colonize plant roots and form symbiotic relationships with them. These fungi are the largest genus in the phylum Glomeromycota and are an important part of soil in all environments. They are beneficial to plant growth and development by increasing nutrient uptake, especially for slowly diffusing minerals like phosphorus. Glomus spp. are also important for the establishment, productivity, and longevity of natural and man-made ecosystems. These form a larger root zone which inserts its upper ends into the roots of plants like an IV in veins. Very informative articles about this are found in reports from the US Forestry services, Dept. of the Interior, etc. .
I just wanna say that you have been the inspiration for me to make my own backyard garden
Wow, thanks for letting us know! Glad to know our content is helping people.
Great job!😊
Thank you! 😄
Great job! Love the wood chips!
Thanks a bunch!
I love Bergamot and hadn’t thought about growing it! Thank you for the lesson and encouragement my friend!
My dad, the builder always told me not to let plants touch my house because of the moisture isn’t good for wood.
Do NOT listen to this FOOL! That oil being washed off is already TOO LATE! The oil is absorbed into the skin almost instantly. I myself have tried this, but I ALWAYS see blisters after a 7 day period. Others get the blisters INSTANTLY!! Soap and water does not help!!!!
Sorry to be sounding so mean. It's just that the best advice is to not touch it at all. Also be careful of any secondary contact. Your clothes and pets that touch the plant can still get to you.
No worries, you are driving engagement
Sorry I couldn’t hit the nuance of every outlier scenario in a one minute video.
My neighbor and I were talking not long after I moved in to the house I have now. I told him that I had poison ivy along the side of the fence I shared with him and his gf. He said, "Yeah, we got it, too. So does the neighbor to the back, and so do a lot of people on this street." I said, " I don't know how I'm gonna get rid of it. I've never had to deal with it before. I'm scared I'll get it on me." He said, " Don't worry about it. I'm not allergic to it, so it doesn't bother me. I'll come over to take care of it for you." I said, " Okay, I'll let you know." I had to run out into that section of the yard to save my dog from doing something stupid. I didn't even think about what I was getting into until I was ankle deep in it. Well, it turns out that I'm not allergic to it either. I've been over to that part of the yard a lot with no problems. My dogs run through it and bring the residue in on their coats, but I have never broken out. I am so very grateful because there are so many other things wrong with this house that having a poison ivy breakout on top of it might have been more than I could take.
Well done youngun!
Poison ivy VERY frequently grows entwined with Virginia Creeper. You have to look very carefully before you just pull, willy nilly.
Please learn the difference between a leaf and a leaflet.
Please learn how to grasp the bigger concept without being a pedant
A curious add-on. Mango is from the same family and has similar oils, if you are allergic to Poison ivy you can also have a similar reaction to fresh mango while cutting and messing with the skin.
My allergy to mango confirms that. Cashew nut though is a closer relative. That's why all cashew nuts must be roasted before being eaten. All cashews being sold have already been roasted.
@@senseitauntaun4283 learned something new! Thanks.
I am highly allergic to poison ivy. I got it on my face when I was a kid and it was horrible.
I was trimming hedges last spring and accidentally got hit across the face with a poison ivy vine. I ran immediately to the shower and scrubbed from head to toe. Not taking any chances after that bad reactions I've had in the past!
Be mindful that a lot of people who are allergic to poison ivy can also be allergic to virginia creeper. Though that is not considered a poison, lots of people get itchy rashes from it very similar to that of poison ivy. My family are all allergic to both. The rashes from them SUCK!!
Wash with ZANFEL. it's the only product i've EVER used that works. Even Fels-Naptha & Ivy-Rest arent as effective, but they do help, a little. Hand soap does NOT wash the URISOL away. Dont ever burn the vines or leaves, either. IT CAN BE DEADLY
This is genuinely so helpful Everyone always says the ‘leaves of three’ thing but that doesn’t help me because there are multiple plants with three leaves I need more identifying information 😭💀
No it wasn't. Soap and water does not help. The oil is absorbed on contact. That cannot be washed off.
I mean when in doubt, avoid. But hopefully is shows we don't have to be afraid of every plant.
@@senseitauntaun4283 okay bro, tell that to my rash free hand. I'm not one of the lucky ones who doesn't have reactions, I've had some pretty bad ones in my lifetime. This first aid works, though, there's a window of opportunity before the reaction develops.
@@HomesteadinInTheCity I have a weird incubation period. I wash right away but 7 days later I always develop blisters. That's 7 days of daily showers, and multiple hand washings. The BEST advice is to NOT touch it. Also, it's important to be careful of anything that touched the plant. Even dog fur can carry the oils in a secondary contact.
Be careful there are different types of poison ivy. Those notched leaves are what grew where I grew up. I moved to a different state and got a bad case of poison ivy because I didn't know that there was a smooth leaved variety.
oh shoot. did it have hairs vines? I didn't even mention, but I've seen some with red vines, but not universally.
But th0eres a plant that grows alongside of it that actually has an antidote. I've long forgotten the name but you're the eagle scout. You should know this
jewel weed!!!!! it grows in same are. it has pretty little orange flowers
Wash cloths help scrub off the urushiol
One day my yard will look this beautiful 😊
How do you manage ants and mosquitos? I am working on turning my front yard into a wild flower garden and the mosquitos and ants are a problem.
