God is always right so does nature is always right as His creation. 😊Thank you for encouraging my family too. We are moving out of the crowd city this month in the middle of snow to the suburbs finally! God be with everyone.😊
Hey, this is so great. I have noticed most people, that I have come across, who have a vlog about homesteading/gardening are believers. It is so special to me and is a cherished source of encouragement! Thanks for spreading the love!
Yeah it’s pretty cool. Nice to meet you! Thanks for saying hey :)
I have been noticing the same thing, and I love it!
I know plenty who are not religious, but they do things the same way. Its probably just how creators are recommended to you.
When I saw your face, I knew you were a believer! I love being a part of God’s family and His creation. This is so great. God bless your place in TN.
This might be just a me thing but I find listening to talking with lyrics in the background really sensory overload! Lots of love to you ❤️
Yeah I agree. Learned the hard way on this one
@@heyitsagoodlife I have no idea what that Bethany is talking about, lol, I heard every word loud and clear and I really enjoyed your edits, beautiful shot of the sun through the leaves. Overall, this is a really cool topic, but I would like to say that your smile is gorgeous and your love of nature is wonderful and ignites the spark of love in others and I really appreciate what all of you do. As far as what I would like to see more of if your interested in knowing, I would really like to know more about what plants have what effects on the soil and what kind of rotations of crops are capable of being sustainable for regenerative agriculture over yearly cycles. I would also love to know each individual ingredient that goes into the compost from the start of exactly what gets thrown in the floor to the end when It is fully prepared to go into the garden for growing, and how long the stages of composting generally take and what it should look like at each stage, because sadly, I have never grown anything. I live in the city, so stuff that may seem obvious to someone who has had a garden is foreign to me. lol. I'm sure I can find all this around the web, but I thought I would let you know what I was really hoping to discover on my journey into regenerative farming. I would love to know how an ecosystem of different plants works together in order to help fight against bugs naturally and different tree barks with oils that work as natural repellent that are safe for scattering across the garden and or inserting into the compost. What plants add to those goals and also help attract the pollinators. Again, I loved the video, I would love to see a sudden demand for small farming and a shift to more community driven goods and services that can replace the monopolistic corporate overlords that just till and spray and ship, oil oil oil. Or to help replace the overstuffed coupes of a million chickens in a warehouse. I can't wait to learn and create my own sustainable environments that provide not just for my diet but for the animals and nature as well. Thanks for the ideas. Much love.
@@heyitsagoodlife Glad you learned to NOT "enhance-worsen" your intro or the whole video with unnecessary "film music". It is sensory overload, indeed, there seems to be a generational gap (for the most part) who is able to filter out the unnecessary sounds and who can't.
Brains after the 1970s process information differently (things in the work place speeded up, different requirements, the advent of "multi tasking", children watched more TV, video games, etc). and now there is the digital age with a lot of switching back and forth of attention, and (attempted) multitasking.
People also seem to be more and more unable to stand _silence_ and filling up every time slot with sound when they are not super engaged mentally, spills over to the habit to add background music even to low level productions or all daily activities. Silence is not bearable and a person "just talking about something interesting" (hopefully interesting) is also not enough anymore.
Filtering out information while not getting too hung up / engaged with the background sound is also a form of multitasking.
Our brain is NOT made to do that, when he have to think harder or learning new things, even if people think they pull it off, that does not stand the scrutiny of scientific testing. Even now in the digitial type not every (young) person can deal with sensory overload.
Seems to be that many content creators think that adding music (often quite random music) is something you have to do, "everyone does it" etc. It is O.K. if you do a cut, or show an area w/o spoken information.
Nope - if you have content = information to be absorbed it does not need any "embellishment".
the movie industry uses film music very deliberately to enhance the emotions and experience of the audience, if they have a decent budget they have a "score" for main characters or scenes (motives), they prepare the audience if things take a good or bad turn etc.
Documentaries also use music but if they are well produced they take it easy and usually they do NOT use music while information is given. See professional productions of National geographic, BBC, PBS, ...
No music is needed in a good content rich, informative amateur video.
One can see already that they do not get it right in cheaply produced "professional" documentaries. On the other hand good film music does enhace the experience - but then this is about emotions not information. Think the score of "Dances with wolves" or "The Last Mohican" or "Lagaan".
The production quality of your videos looks really good, (and thankfully you also have a nice voice to listen to, no voice fry).
this is the first video I saw of your channel, and of course you got an interesting market gardener as subject. Steven is an information junkie and you can be sure he tested the things he talked about, so that is why I am going to watch his older videos.
No embellishment needed for sure.
Yeah sorry I couldn't watch it because of the music...
I had to turn it off for this reason. ❤️
God has made a beautiful place for us temporarily. Thank you for being a spiritual blessing and bringing up our Lord and Savior during your time here. Keep it going brother!
I have followed him for a long time. Seeing this made me like him even more! Thanks!
Hey neighbor!
Back in 2019 I set out to buy a plot with a house and 5+/- acres. But my big idea at the time was to build a backyard haunted attraction. I also needed a house to live in as I was playing music and was done with apartment life. I’ve dedicated my effort to herbalism and raising goats instead. Best decision. Infinitely rewarding. Whereabouts in TN? I’m in Marshall County.
Oh...my...Gawd! My wife has the almost exact same issue as Steven had with digestion. I think it is absolutely amazing that he cured his issue.
Love it!! Nature is always right! He made it so. Yay God.
Steven, I’m so happy for you! All the best and God bless you guys.
I love his Mind!! I'm on my path of off the grid living with gardening and farming so, this was very helpful and he is speaking straight facts. I love what you do! Your Spirit and smile is soo Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Ase`!
I am with you 100% > I have been on a mission promoting this in my circle of people as well. This video is awesome and THANK YOU for bringing our eternally loving and living God! Jah into the conversation!!! Who gave us our natural birthright to grow food naturally, in accordance with the natural systems, Jah Blessed us all to be able to work with... to bring good health and medicine forward into our lives! Big Up Steven & Hey It's A Good Life!
1 Love! BleSsUP!!!
Love this guy’s philosophy. He is great.
It was seeing Steven on Epic GARDENING and what he was accomplishing that brought me to your channel, Natalie. I've subscribed to both of you. You guys are awesome. Thx!
Hello from the San Fernando Valley! We are so happy to be finding backyard farms in Southern California. We started ours 4 months ago since then we have been able to donate over 100 pounds of free fresh produce :)! Love the mission, love our Earth. We hope ya'll can check us out whenever you're in LA.
Thanks! That would be awesome 👏🏻
Was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! Very insperational 🤗
Love how this video has an awesome Testimony! What an awesome God we have!
I just discovered Curtis Stone thanks to this video aaand I discovered you thanks to Justin Rhodes. I just loved watching you on his Vlog the other day. I truly love the youtube community and how we can all connect from far and wide. Sending love from my little urban homestead in South Africa. Thanks for the inspiration to continue pushing forward. I hope I can get my vlogs out there one day like you guys are doing 💚💚
His landlord has a great hook to rent this place after he moves. It comes with existing gold for soil and a perfect place to start their own food garden! I have missed you and I hate I missed this premier. I will be starting my seeds any day now!
Aw it’s ok. I’ll be back next Friday! Good luck with your seeds. & yes. That landlord had a gold mine in the back and I don’t even think he knows it!
Wow , Incredible . I believe in a simple lifestyle and not abuse our planet earth. You are a blessing to the future generation who can have a better planet to be on. I am planning to move from Dallas, Texas and looking for 3 acres land in Alabama and do same thing you are doing. Thank you and I subscribed.
Today my guest is Steven of #NaturesAlwaysRight and he''ll show us how he started a small scale, but very productive, regenerative farm... at a rental property in the BACKYARD.
Awesome video!!!! Thank you for sharing!! God bless ❤️
Love this!!! Thank you!!!!
I'm watching some of your old videos now and 1) loved this one. So inspiring. And going to go subscribe to Steven's channel now. 2) I LOLed when you said, "I'm really excited about 2020." Haha. Words that sound really funny now. 3) Love your mission.
Haha hey Dalynn. Oh man 😂 if only I knew what we were in for! Lol. So glad you found my channel and are feeling inspired by this one. Steven is a gem and so full of knowledge!
Wow, loved this!!
Thank you sooooo much for this!! You guys inspired my family and I to get some land and start a farm!!!😍🥰👏
The work you are doing here is unmistakably some of the most important and pragmatic of many things I've seen.
You guys are incredible!!!!
Subbed!
That’s amazing!!! Congratulations!!
Im in SD too! started learning how to farm and already built a couple of garden beds (since I live in an apt) awesome video!
Yaaaaas. Getting after it even in apartment. My kinda farmer. Love it!
Love this! Looking forward to more of these!
Awesome ♥️
Awesome video! So much info!
Thank you so much for this. We are full time RVers but will be homesteading in the future. Blessings to you. Sherry
My pleasure. Good luck on your journey to homestead.
Thank you for sharing this video and thank you to Steven for sharing his knowledge. This has been a real inspiration to me to continue on the journey of my wife and I to learn to grow our own food so we can have the skills so that if we can ever find a better situation to live a more self- sustaining/ rural life for ourselves. Thank you and God bless you all.
That’s awesome. Start where you are and keep dreaming big!! :)
@@heyitsagoodlife we started this passed year, covid tome off gave us great purpose to volunteer and do 4 @3x6 raised beds and while we didn’t set any growing records here with a shaded townhouse in a grove we learned a lot about amounts of light each crop needed and raised my sourdough making skills. I pray yours, Steven and his wife all have a successful growing year in good health.
This was very cool! Steven is doing some awesome stuff for urban farming that's for sure. Your going to be doibg more videos with urban farmers in Cali, that sounds like it will be awesome to see.
Yeah! The plan is something along those lines. Thank you josh!
Great interview expose. I love this guy. Thank you!
Thank you! He’s a great dude
Thanks for sharing
❤❤❤❤❤
I just found your channel through R&R Jess, and was glad to find another lovely youtube gardener to follow. Then I came across this vid, and found another in Steven! Happy days! Steven's description of God's creation being the model for everything resonated so much. Nature IS always right, because it was created that way!
Hey Carla. So glad you’re here! Welcome 🤗
Thank you for these videos!!! it's deffanitly an encouragement. I was hoping to start a backyard garden and chickens when we moved into our new home. After putting in a lot of work I found I had a major flooding issue during the rainy season! The water from my neighbors lawns ran into mine and pooled all over my lawn killing my first years garden. This year I'm trying to figure out how to collect what I can, hold as much as can be expected in one location of my lawn, and move the rest of the water along so it doesn't kill off my vegetables. I was frustrated at all the work I'm doing and about to give up when your video popped up in my feed, just when I needed it! Thank you!
I’m so glad!! What a nightmare with the flooding. Have you looked into hugelkultur at all? Perhaps creating some hugelkultur beds around the perimeter would help? And lots of wood chips as well, maybe? Good luck!! Don’t give up :)
@@heyitsagoodlife I love composted wood chips I've made some beautiful Raised mound beds with it. Part of my problem is the back lawn is very uneven, hard clay. I tried just filling the low spots and leveling with topsoil. When we hit the rainy season Those spots fill with water and basically became puddles. Not only does it rain a lot, but water also drains from my neighbor to the norths lawn into my own.
This year I'm actually digging out the high spots, and running a couple of trenches to move the water away from the house (It's been within feet of my house but hasn't come in yet. I was planning on doing a dry bed toward the street drain,
DON"Tgoing to look into one instead of the dry bed to see how much more water I can capture.
Natalie! Good job! Very good video! I think your on to something good here! Please continue.
Oh goof. Thank you!
Beautiful thank you👩🏾🌾🌍🆙🎶✨🤘🏾💜🥦🍉🤣🏞️
Beautiful loved it 🥰🥰🥰
Green and fresh
I am have agricultures in my yard to, please watch in my channel, thanks, i am from Indonesia 🙏
Great video! I love this style of video. Great subject, well shot, good editing.
Awesome thank you for the feedback and kind words!
Wonderful interview. I love Steven's channel.
Thank you. Great farmer. & great person!
lovely content, have a great day👍. My friend!
Really great job on this video! Loads of info!
Thanks so much. Steven is a wealth of knowledge!
Cool video as always
Love this video Natalie!!
Hey thank you!
The life giving force of life... recognizing the importance of the biology that allows plants to thrive is a necessary departure from our poison and chemical farming food industry.
The more exposure to the sane approach to farming the better.
So, thanks.
Definitely
Awesome interview!
Yoish! Out Standing Video. Thank you!!
Thank you! Happy farmin!
Cool system
Great Video.
Just found you! Happy, and hope to meet with you soon!!
steven is soooo cool
Really enjoyed this video! Will share it for sure. Love the knowledge of God that gardening has brought him to! It is Gods creation and His plan. Thanks for sharing!
Hey thank you Elaine. Yeah it was great hearing his personal story! Thanks for watching ♥️
AWESOME video!
Thanks man!! 💛
Hi can I ask what your drying screen is made of? I would recommend not using anything galvanized because the process uses arsenic. Awesome Garden Great Ideas!
Going vertical will increase production. Setup some towers !!
I thought that too Ken! Or maybe waist height raised beds, in north-south rows, with enough clearance and sunlight getting underneath to allow some shade-loving herbs or greens. Prob not cost effective , but a heap of fun for tiny gardens! Someone smart said "you make the most wins in the marginal growing spaces and times". Haha the sky is the limit!
About digging up your own worms: There are several types of invasive worms depending on your location. These invasive worms actually destroy your soil and you don't want those and you don't want to increase their population either.
Interesting. I’ll have to look into this. Thanks
What great content! How has Steven gone with his move TO Tennessee? I know it's been a while since you made this video (congrats on the baby!!!) but did you ever end up doing "Two Minute Tuesdays" at all? Maybe that cld be a laid-back way to ease back in to Live Video's - maybe later on as life gets a bit more predictable 🤣 (like when she moves out for college)
hahahahah yes maybe in 20 years! No two minute tuesdays for now but I like the idea. Thanks foe the feedback. Glad you liked the video. Steven is doing well in Tennessee. They love it
Glory be to God for his perfect plan
hey saw you guys on justin rhodes. I wanted to say if your in the city like I am you should look into Quail they are small game birds you can keep the coturnix quail inside the males arent to loud I live in town houses and the neighbors with a baby cant hear the males "crow" you can keep about a dozen in a rabit cage (mine is 4ftx2.5ft with a small balcony.) it something that you can do small scale and you can keep a cage in a bedroom by youngest has a cage in her room and they dont even disturb her sleep. maybe worth looking into if you want some eggs but live in the city
Thank you. These are great ideas :)
Hello I watch your video and I do like it and thank you. I am in Dallas Texas I like to learn more from you. How should I watch your live video or chad?
Hi welcome! So glad you’re here. The live video already happened but I have lots more videos here. I hope they help you!
Thank you so much for sharing this, this can really help people who have small space make it possible! God is amazing he designed this planet for us to be sustainable, somehow along the way it all got distorted! Now people are wanting to go back to way it should be. I will add him to my friends list. Wendy❤️🐞
Hey Wendy. Totally! There is a movement happening back to Gods design. I’m glad we are a part of it.
@@heyitsagoodlife I have been in that mode for many years feeling God tug at me on this matter. We have to be the difference. Sorry i .missed Friday night that is dsate night with my Tommy. 😁
Great video! One of my favorite YTers just moved from Seattle to a 20-acre property in Nashville. Not a bad place to re-settle?
It would be a lovely place to settle.
We don't get 50 inches of rain in Tennessee anymore
Off topic, but I was looking for the link in the description and noticed we have the same espresso machine!! (Still watching the video though lol)
Haha 😆 that’s awesome. We love ours!
@@heyitsagoodlife I was spolied with the machines when I worked at Starbucks. The espresso is great but I still don't love how long it takes to steam the milk. I've gotten better with it but... I still mess it up some days by being too impatient.
Come to Idaho. Lots of room here
Even someone in a high-rise apartment building can grow food
The biggest takeaway :
God and his design!
So cool Steven, stay righteous brotha'👏👏👏👏🧁🍟🐧🌵✝️
My goal for 2021! My Notebook is out!
Awesome
Humans created the internet and many other amazing technology that never mimicked nature..
the "world wide web"? hmm what does that sound similar to....cant be a spiders web..hmmm lol and What other 'amazing' technology?
@@Takeover94 cell phone, smart phone, airplanes, video games, microwave ovens.. the list in endless.
how did you cure yourself of acne?
I agree music too loud
That’s your only take away? What a shame
Thank you! Excellent information! Your hard work is inspiring for us! God bless you and your family.
You are right about nature! Nature is better - God provides for us in His Creation. GMOs are not good and now we see this used in the mRNA gene therapy shots.
I got no space like that
I hear you. Making the most of it where I am for now!
the trouble with Steven at Nature's Always Right is that he doesn't answer questions asked!! I watched some of his videos and wanted more info on it - nada!
Bro thats exactly how i think to, that everything is perfect that god made , so perfect that he wouldn't have to show up for work
No chickens allowed where I live in ohio, also no ducks .
I can't hear what you're saying because the music is too loud
Thanks for the feedback
What Dr. would put someone on antibiotics for 4-5 months! 😳
Right?!! I was schooled to learn that as well
My son was put on the same antibiotic that long to get rid of very bad painful acne.
Vv
Father I pray for your son, my brother in Christ and His family that gives you all Glory and Honor find him Father the right and affordable property and Land and be a blessing wherever they go . Guide him and direct him Father through your Holy Spirit because only you know what’s ideal for him Father God in Jesus name.! Amen! ❤
I'd like to enjoy this, but two voices, narrator plus song is too much. Bye.
Byeeee 👋🏻
Background music is a good thing. Background songs over speaking . . . not so much
Oh dear. Is that you’re only take away? What a shame!
Lose the music ! its awful and distracting !!
♥️♥️♥️
Are his eye brows painted on ?
This man is an inspiration... Thank you for introducing me to him and his work! His channel's amazing and so is yours!
