      I was recently talking to an older gentleman (he's 93, I believe). I was telling him how I added compost that I made from leaves, grass, and kitchen scraps to my garden and topped it with leaves. He said, "That's the best thing you can do for your garden to build the soil." It made me feel so good to hear that from someone who has spent 80+ years farming and gardening. It made me feel like I'm on the right track. I'd love to sit and listen to him talk about it. I could listen all day.

      he's smart at farming but not his own biology, as humans are frugivores and god didn't put them there to eat. He put them there to learn to live in harmony with the other animals on earth and to commune with them. You don't have the teeth, the claws, the intestinal length or stomach acid strengh of a meat eater.. your body screams fruit and veggie eater, that's why you add vegetables (salt seasoning garlic onion etc) to dead meat instead of eat it fresh.

Now it has a pond, a chicken coop with 4 hens, 4 fruit trees, a 1,500 square foot wildflower patch, 12 cedar raised garden beds, and one bee hive. This year we got so much produce we were having to give it away and got into canning. Every year we build it even bigger in the winter for the next year. This winter we are building a couple herb pryamids and cultivating a 150 square foot area to grow sweet corn. Super excited for spring.

    This approach, with the chickens, I saw on an Amish woman's farm in Cuyahoga. She has a beautiful summer growing house, huge, but constructed like a tunnel but was varmint proof. She grew directly into the soil. During the winter she put the chickens in there to live and closed it up. The structure was huge. Maybe 25' by 50'. It was impressive so I took photos. During Spring she opened it up, had a big arbor at its entrance, and a little sitting area just inside to enjoy the scene. The chickens were moved into a pasture where her dogs did too protect them even from predator hawks. Her garden was so lush. Beans hung from her arbor, growing in such an abundance I felt spellbound.
    Okay I'll be quiet and will only say the type of farming shown here is extremely desirable. 💕

    The good thing about clay soil is that is rich with minerals. I have also transformed my formerly rock hard clay soil. I pulled up the big weeds and buried the little ones with wood chips. I keep adding wood chips from time to time and I am also always adding green material on top as well. Where the soil was the worst, I added compost and used compost tea. Now I have much more life in the soil and the soil is much better. I now have worms where the soil was previously too hard and dry for them.

    I loved your video and what you're doing. My wife and I bought a .7 acre property in 2019. It was all grass and I had no experience growing. Since then I went from growing in pots, to grow bags, to raised beds, to now growing directly in the ground. I learned so much about compost.
    I'm now working with nature instead of against it. Like yourselves, I now run a zero waste system. I put 20 fruit trees in the ground this year. 5 of those are Pawpaw. I don't have livestock yet but seeing your video I want to start with rabbits. I also grow indoors during the winter. I'm in zone 7a.

      The only hurdle for me currently is the land PawPaw. You read statistics that there are billions of dollars worth of farmland that aging farmers want to pass on but 5 or 10 acres costs a small fortune. I am perplexed as to why there might not be an organization or State somewhere that doesn’t see the opportunity here, to incentivize people into farming. Healthy food production, stronger communities, business opportunities, education opportunities, great eco-systems. I’m a single mother with big homestead dreams but no piece of ground to do it on/with.

    Wow! Love this channel, just browsing this morning and found you! You truly don’t need a lot of land, I decided to turn my tiny 20’x50’ spot into a great growing garden last year, I preserved enough food from it for this year which is a good thing, we have since moved, purchased an acre with a nice house and shop, did not have time to get in my garden this year but watch out, this spring we will have food growing. Chickens and Rabbits, “oh my”….. I am a true believer of homeopathic, home grown food that is your medicine! What they allow in store purchased food is horrifying…. Thank you soooooo much for this great channel, I will be binge watching you… 😊 Happy sustainability!

    Great video! We are using some similar methods. We have meat rabbits. I didn’t think of using the urine, and also didn’t think of charging biochar with it. We use the manure. No-till is definitely the best way to improve soil. We have clay soil as well. Great job being resourceful with scraps for building. I agree wholeheartedly that people need to prepare for tough times ahead; and being more self-sufficient is so important. New subscriber here! Be well. - Colin

    That’s my goal. Get an acre, build a tiny house and then expand while renting out the original dwellings. The crazy thing is, my grandparents did this exact same thing DECADES ago. They were the originators of the tiny home as they bought land, built what they call the ”little kitchen” and had a couple of small trailers/a storage shed and then they built their main house.
    Of course, my grandmother was also a pioneer of recycling and yoga in the 70s, so we’re just kind of trendsetters and everybody else just follows but somehow acts salty and bothered about it. 😂
