Homestead Consultant Visits Our Property & We Welcome a New Pack Member

- Permaculture & Homestead Consultant Kerry From Strong Roots Resources visits our Off Grid Homestead. We asked for help in better understanding our land and some guidance to help put us on the right path to self-sustainability. Learning about our soil to ways to winterize our garden are just a few of the things we will learn. We also celebrate the arrival of a new member of the family (potentially) with Rezzi, a rescue from the shelter Jes works at Moco Mutts. Things have been in our opinion slow going on the homestead with so many setbacks these past few years but we are committed to learning everything we can to achieve our goals of living a simple and beautiful life Off Grid.

I was honored to visit your home and land. I'm in the midst of putting your document together and I'm looking forward to continuing to help y'all grow and create this awesome off grid life!
It was amazing having you here and we both are looking forward to developing this relationship together. Thank you for all your help and we hope you liked the video
So sorry for the loss of the friend yall loss . Prayers n light to both of you.
She loves you so much Jess! 🤍
Oh they have bonded hard
Sorry for your loss guys. 😢 Beautiful dog. ❤👍
Thank you Ray ❤️
Some ideas, don't know what's best for your situation:
Flexible brown color caulk in every crack installed from the top, first, before the foam underneath.
Or painters tape along every crack from above first before spraying below.
Or rigid foam core insulation boards cut to size to fill between every joist then spray foam all the remaining small cracks
The painters tape idea sounds doable for us 🤔 thank you and great idea
all great ideas! I would go with the foam board underneath then foam in the cracks.
I have tried regular hilling for my potatoes as well as Ruth Stout both under wood chips and straw. My best yields came from under straw. You can't beat the ease of harvest with Ruth Stouts method!
We are definitely going to try that out this coming season
Aww…. So precious
She is such a good dog
You should find some large rugs from the thrift store or carpet and cover the floor. It helps a lot with the air leaks and drafts
Yup that's what we been doing 😁
Apply bubble wrap 1/4inch to the bottom of the floor first, then foam below that.
That's a good idea but we are limited in finds right now and gotta use what we have on hand but that's a good idea
You guys are amazing for doing that. I have been battling cancer for a little over a year now. It's pretty incredible of you guys to do that.
She was a great person who deserved recognition and all the love we could give her
You just happened to run across my TV. Glad I subscribed. I'm really enjoying watching every one you two have. Looks like it's been hard at times and very enjoyable. It's so nice that you both want the same dream. God always says time and hard work. You can accomplish your dreams, . Anyway, welcome to my living room
Welcome to the channel ❤️
So pretty ❤
Hopefully Nelly accepts her
sorry for the loss of your friend
Thank you Phyllis.. She will be remembered
❤
😁
Sweet pup. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Here in TX, we would put down tar paper (about $35 a roll) on the floor and put plywood on top of that. The tar paper would keep the spray from coming through. If you don't have the money for plywood now then that might not work with dogs running around. Worth a try.
Thank you bud and as for the cracks someone gave us the idea of painters tape over the cracks
She loves you, I hope all works out and you can keep her 💕
Hopefully we can but it's slow going with Nelly lol
Sorry for the loss of your friend! It's hard!! Hope you get your insulation spray on! Y'all need that!!
Thank you and yea it's coming shortly
OMG GS!!! Shush don't advertise that too loud! I hope you're blessed with that plant! I was hooked on a series; I think it was called ginseng wars or something like that. Apparently, a property owner may have lost her life to poachers. They stopped televising so I'm not sure what came of that. But it was fascinating to watch. Apparently, China was paying a hefty price for it. I imagine Jess could come up with some of her own tinctures. That'd be right up her alley and a sweet little business too. But those doggies need her. 🥰 They are sweetie pies. That was smart to get advice from a consultant and reassuring to hear from a professional that you're taking the right approach. I have no doubt you're going to have bumper crops this summer. In fact, you might want to start collecting those canning jars. Yeah, that's the ticket. LOL God bless and Happy Holidays. I'm just catching the end now. I'm sorry to hear about your UA-camr friend Sidney. Frankie Off Grid also mentioned Simple Life Portugal. I'm so sorry.
Right we can't advertise the GS to much but it's here for sure.. We have had poachers here before. China still pays a hefty price for it but we want it for our own medicinal purposes. Sindy was an amazing person for sure
What you need to do is cover your floor with 7/16 OSB plywood .. Cher the whole floor, you only have a subfloor. Then you can add vinyl, carpet or what ever .. put skirting around the out side to keep air out from under the floor
Definitely going to need to plywood on the floor before we can put the final floor down.
Sorry to hear about your friend .❤
Thank you
You don't have to heal up potatoes if you have loose 6 inches of gravel below your potatoes I don't heal mine and I leave mine in the ground all winter I cover my garden beds after everything dies off in the summer I cover it all with leaves and then when I want to get potatoes I go up and dig them a potatoes when I need them that way I don't have to store potatoes in a root cellar or anything like that I don't lost two potatoes last year that went run as long as you got ground that the water can run through and you cover your beds with leaves and then after the next year and summer you just turn those leaves into your soil and then replant again plus with the leaves on top all the worms stay in your bed garden bed same way as my beds for garlic I'll plant my garlic in November cover them with leaves not straw and then I usually plant the garlic straight down the middle of the beds so I know where they are come around next year I will turn the leaves into the soil and implant whatever else I'm going to plant in that bed I need three beds probably 30 feet long one is 40 feet long and I just plant garlic right down the center of each bed because garlic is supposed to keep bugs away and I get really big garlic Be and beside a park all the way around one side and bound the back we have a lot of Maple trees so we get a lot of Maple leaves and instead of raking the maple leaves off throwing them all over a fence and getting rid of them I use them on my garden works great plus my beds have wood before dirt in them too so that helps out too
I think we are gonna try that Ruth Stouts method for sure. Sounds so simple to do
❤❤❤❤
❤️
Oh I'm from Nova Scotia canada
Shout out to Nova Scotia ❤️
Hi I'm a new subscriber I like how your doing things well stay healthy and safe ill be watching ❤ happy new year 🎉
Happy New Year and welcome to the channel ❤️
one thing you can do to slow air infiltration is staple vapor barrier under the floor on the platform. it would be a cheap stop gap to keep you warmer over the winter. so sorry about your friend, you will see her again in paradise
We totally believe that ❤️
Love the vlog! Do you have to pay for the visits of the men watching your land and advice you how you can do it?
Sindy was a great personality it's sad that here sparkling heart is not longer tere an I hope than could give it a place in his heart to continue his live, but it will take time!!!❤
Nope he came out to to just help us. Really good guy and looking forward to all we can do together. Sindy was an amazing person and will be remembered in our hearts
LOVE this video! Thank you for having someone out to the property and sharing the info with us!! He is right - you both have worked so hard to prep your land!! I’m so very sorry for the loss of your dear friend! I will pray for her husband Dan and everyone who loved her that the beautiful memories will lift heavy hearts and keep her bright light burning!! I hope Resi (so?) is accepted by the fur babies. Her love and happiness at being home is so obvious. She picked you! Much love friends! ❤
This is such a beautiful comment and we love you.. Thank you for always being there for us..
Happy New Year 🎉
Missing your vlogs
Happy New Year ❤️ coming back this coming Sunday. Had some things to sort out
RIP Sindy 😢
❤️
You guys should check out “Off Grid Bruce” this week’s post to see what he did to his floor.
Ok cool I'll check him out 🥰 thank you
GOD BLESS YA ALL.... YES I HEARD ABOUT SINDY THROUGH NICK ND ANDREA . BRINGS BACK THOUGHTS OF MY SISTER PASSING FROM CANCER IN 2015 AT ONLY 53. SIGH........ SUPER KOOL TO HAVE YOUR PROPERTY LOOKED AT, AND YOU HAVENT MADE ANY MISTAKES, ITS ALL LEARNING, THAT CAN BE STEERED INTO MORE SUCCESS. TRYING IS LEARNING. YOU BOTH HAVE GROWN SISCE THE LORD BROUGHT YOU INTO MY LITTLE CAMPER WATCH TIME, AND I SMILE FOR YOU ALWAYS. RESI IS SO SWEET😊😊😇. I DID A LITTLE TEMP TEST THIS MORNING, ON THE FLOOR IT WAS 55 DEGREES, AND ON MY 6 FOOT CEILING IT WAS 61. HUGE DIFFERENCE, IN ONLY A 6X8 SPACE. YOU WILL APPRECIATE THAT LOFT!! THE SPRAY WILL HELP SEAL. BUT I WOULD PUT R31 8INCH AFTER THAT, IN THE FLOOR AND COVER WITH 3/8 PLY MAYBE IN SPRING. I HAVE R21 6INCH INSULATION IN MY DRY STORAGE BUILDING AND VAPOR WRAP, HUGE DIFFERENCE. BE BLESSED!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS BROTHER AND SISTER.🎄🎄❄❄🙏🙏👍👍
So sorry to hear about your Sister Cancer sucks.. really appreciate this comment my friend.
Sorry you lost your friend Sindy . It will be very interesting to see your garden develop. Can I ask I haven’t seen anything on the orchard you planted. How is it doing?
Thank you buddy ❤️ the orchard is going to need a lot of work this year
Get yourself some rabbits I'm sure you know about rabbit poop won't tell you about that but I use that in All my beds and I give it to people bags of rabbit poop for quite a bit of money If you let your rabbit poop build up underneath the cages underneath that wrap up poop is thousands of worms should also good for your garden and good for your chickens high in protein you don't have to eat them though🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How come you can't just use a caulking on the inside caulk the cracks first
That's a lot of Caulk and a bit pricey right now. I think we found the solution 😉
Whatever is best for you and whatever is cheapest for your pocketbook good luck@@OffGridGrowing
Has the ducks went into there house yet
Nope not yet... guess they just like being outside
Very good video as always keep up the good work and read my comments please I'm not lying I've learnt over the past four years about straw and hay what bad stuff comes from it cover crops are good and leaves are good don't use hay or straw If you do you straw hay use only local straw or hay that way you're only bringing the weeds that come from your area you straw and hay from different parts of the world you're bringing in plants that don't belong
We are very appreciative of your comments and so take your advice. I think we are going to go the leaf route
The best and the cheapest right on I just got to get some goats@@OffGridGrowing
