Building looking very rustic - great ! Love your channel ...
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching 😊
I love all the work you've done to the little house. The potato patch looks awesome.
Thank you! 😊
It's great seeing you doing some homesteading, I can only imagine what you'll be able to achieve when your place is done and you have more time.👍
Yeah from now on I will divide my time between building and homesteading, so I can be more self sufficient soon, I don't like relying on supermarkts for my food! So can't wait to start growing some more
I know that you must be doing a lot more apart from your build, it's just becomes a daily chore and doesn't make it to video. It's nice to see what homesteading projects you do though.👍
Ordered my sweater and tank top shirt Leaving Babylon merch. Excited!
These videos are so greatly, wonderfully done. The time you take with the quality of content, showing us this journey, ground up, while filming....wow.... On top of that, artistic touch and felt admiration/Love for your surroundings and experience through your point of perspectives you show with slow motion flames, different stream currents, sunsets, sunrises, rain drops etc. so on so forth. Just outstandingly beautiful. Great job. I feel it through the screen...
♡Much Love♡

What a cool stove, looking awesome.👍
Ahh you can't believe how much I have been enjoying that stove already! It's rusty, but it's so nice and burns sweet 😄
Great progress on the cabin.. Idna is beautiful, and so shiny..
Love the big potato patch ..wishing you an abundant crop. Brilliant idea to value add to the final harvest.
Cheers from Oz🐨
Thanks so much! 😊🙏 Yeah I need to start making a bit more money from the homestead, so now the cabin is almost finished I can start focusing on other things like the garden, and grow abundance crops to sell on the market
It's been awhile since I have checked in on you and it's amazing! The house is beautiful! So happy for you! Janice from Arkansas USA
Hey Janice!! Nice to hear from you again! Thanks for checking in on me 😊! Thanks! Hope you are doing good!?
It worked, I have to just remember that is the way to do it successfully.❤
potatoes for planting can b chopped in quarters to obtain more yield.🙂
Thanks for the tip, will do that with the bigger ones, I still need to plant a 2nd batch.
I am impressed with your work. I have heavy clay soil and it's a pain to work on. I also have a lot of couch grass. 😮 Your cabin looks beautiful and cozy!
CU in the next 1!
Thank you very much!
Awesome! You're an artist.💯💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you very much 😊😊
Just found your channel man. Really inspiring the life you live. Had it been 15 years ago that could certainly have been me but my life took a different turn. I’m a livestock conservation farmer in Sweden now but a little bit larger scale than what you are doing. Try to put up some videos from my homestead every now and again. Interested to hear what the crop rotation will be in the potatoes patch?
Crazy you can sow veg in February. Here we’re still battling with snow and ice. 🥶 stay real.
Your channel looks really interesting! I have subscribed, seems like we have similar interests when it comes down farming, I used to work on a farm in Belgium and was trying to set up a regenerative system there, I worked with animals to, but it wasn't my farm, so at the end I quit because I want to do my own thing...I haven't had the time to look at your videos, but il have a look later... and yeah it's crazy for me to , first year that I am planting veg so early 😁, in Belgium I would plant potatoes in April, so yeah it's a big difference, still need to learn allot, I just look to the old people around here when they plant wath in their garden...
@@leavingbabylonfamily sounds great man. looking forward to more videos from your end. all i've heard about portugal and spain when it comes to ag is that its becoming increasingly impossible to farm there due to climate change, and especially drought. as one could see in some of your previous videos. so it's really a challenge you've set up for yourself there but i beleive that small scale and to build a farm that stand on many revenue streams is key to tackling these challenges.
whhat i meant with the potatoes was to hear about your crop rotation since planting the same family of for example solanaceae in the same space year after year is probably someone you want to avoid. we try year 1 - potatoes year 2 - root veg year 3 - fabaceae crops year 4 - Brassicaceae & Cucurbitaceae crops. best of luck to you
This is so inspiring.
I live off grid on a forest block in a caravan and about to start a post and beam cabin made from cob.
I've also planted Jerusalem Artichokes. It's great seeing the progress you've made!
Sounds great! Good luck with the cabin!
This will be a beautiful tiny house
Thank you! I hope so 😄
Sisn !
Ja sisn inderdaad ❤️ 😄 merci broere! Bless
Your house is coming along nicely. Great to have more or bigger windows otherwise you will need light during the day time 😅
Thanks ! 😄 And. Yes true, but I live and work outside 90%of the time, so I mostly spend my time in there in the evenings, so I also not to worried about having loads of light coming in...

👍😊
What are planning for the material on the roof ? Tiles or currigated metal or something ? That contrast between the rock and the cord wood is absolutely beautiful !! You're home will be nicer than mine when its complete and I spent WAY too much on mine !! GREAT job !!!
Hey Zachary! Thanks ! So plans are to make a living roof on top of the cabin, so basically just the liner I put up, and then I first will put a thick layer of sheep wool on top, and on top of that soil.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching 😄
well done👋👋👋👋👋
Thank you very much 😊! Thanks for watching again!
💜
❤️
Woow, so much progres....and almost done!
Again, my full respect for what you are doing with such a small amount of money. And you know Ruth stout? Do some research about her way of growing food, much less work and same harvest.
Heya! Thanks ! 😊 Yes I know Ruth stout. But that's not a option for me here, I don't have that much mulch material right know, I think they usually use bails of straw to grow potatoes in , if I am right ? But straw Is not easy to find around here, and not cheap either, a small bail is at least 4 euro, I would need allot of them, it would make this expensive potatoes. Also this has been pasture for the last few years, so the soil is very compacted at the top, so the only option is to dig it really if want to grow a crop this year... I will start mulching allot allover the garden, so in the years to come digging won't be needed anymore, but that takes time..
@@leavingbabylonfamily maybe read some more about her, she is Just trowing lots of mulch on the soil so no need for buying a lot of strawbales. A friend of me in Viseu is using het method and collects all the mulch with his skyte/ uuh, always forget the englisch name but in dutch it is zeis, maybe same as in België? So very cheap, no chemicals and you can Just plant the patatoes on top of the soil underneath the mulch, very easy to harvest because almost no digging. Only thing to keep an eye on is mice and moles that live underground and love patatoes, but in or on top of the soil, they will find them anyway;))
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you, good work on the house, you have a girl friend now? Good work 👍😁💪👌👏👏👏.
Thanks Arjan! She's already long time my girlfriend! But first time she's here with me In Portugal
Portugal?
I see eucaliptos trees and salamandra
Yes ! Central Portugal!
Sil all this is very impressive but you were rly hiding that u now run a fritjes shop
Maybe I'll come visit
Indigo x
🤣🤣🤣 you got me there! 😅 Ahh that would be amazing! 😁 I d make some frietjes for Shure if you'd come visit!!
❤
❤️❤️❤️
You should be seeing a new super thanks.👍
Hmmm I don't see it, I think it probably didn't work again for you.. sorry about that.
I've done it three times today, says it's successful but doesn't show up on my banking. Don't worry, I don't give up easy.👍
Just tried a smaller amount, if that works I'll do it twice.👍
You can always try the buy me a coffee link again.. that worked last time . I admire your persistence 😅
I'm still trying, it just won't go, it keeps saying that I already own the item. I have even gone to older content, no luck so far.😕
Thanks for trying so hard! Your amazing. Maybe try the 'buy me a coffee ' link again? That worked last time, and to be honest, I get a better deal with' buy me a coffee' they take a much smaller cut from the donation then UA-cam... But it's up to you.. thanks for trying so hard!
I will try that for sure.
you gone have cold in winter
Why you think so? I don't believe so to be honest, I am in South Europe here, and use to live in central Europe, climate is so different here! Winter was been absolutely Lovley! Most days are just beautiful sunny days, it's easily 15°c here during the day, there are some frosty nights... But in the night I'm sleeping like a rock under a warm blanket. My cabin is so small, that burner wil heat it up in 5minutes...
