    My grandmother used to bury all her kitchen scraps in the vegetable garden. No stinky kitchen compost bin! The old ways are always best. This video gave me the ‘cozies’ as I sit on the couch cuddling my 2 dogs. Thank you!

    This video was almost a throwback to the old Maddie videos with all the nature shots, narration, and cooking. Very groovy! 😃 I had to laugh when Elli talked about planting the lupins around your yard through. I bet 20 years ago the previous owners said ‘hey, we should plant some blackberry bushes around the yard… wouldn’t that be great?!’ Haha. Lovely video, as always! ❤

    duck or chicken, sheep, horse, alpaca etc, bedding is great mulch. I make my mulch 6 inches thick (straw, maple leaves, a little ash from the wood stove, etc) which keeps most weeds from growing and in spring, you can just make holes in the mulch and plant your seedlings with no need to turn the soil or pull weeds. Move mulch a few inches away from tree trunks, so rodents wont get in and harm the trunks.

    I didn't realise how long you small holding at the back is. What is it 100ft long?
    Great idea with the leaves.
    Just an idea: Did you know if you can get your hands on wooden pallets, screw them together, and make a box and leave the front lower than the 3 sides it becomes a great compost bin for composting leaves and food waste e.c.t into compost.
    When the roof is complete will you have a topping out ceremony.?

    • @Maddie.taylor
      @Maddie.taylor  16 годин тому +2

      We have SO many left over wooden pallets and that is a fantastic idea, robert! Thank you so much!

    If you enjoy asparagus I highly encourage you to plant some crowns next year.
    It takes until year 3 to lightly harvest but after that you should get lots of delicious asparagus.
    This was our 3rd year and I say it was worth the wait. BTW raw just picked asparagus is fantastic and it’s a challenge to not eat it all raw!

    Rosemary does fine outside in winter if you plant it in the ground. Sage, chives and thyme too. Mint also, but keep them in pots so they don't take over the garden.

    Just curious, have you visited the town of Lübeck? There's an Irish Pub there that is fun to visit. It's run by an east German man (or it used to be) who is very interesting and talkative. I think it's called Finnegans.
    For some really enjoyable immersement into the beautiful German culture you should take in a show at the KOLK 17 Figurentheater. It's truly something to see😃😃
    Lübeck is a great place to work on your photography skills as well. ❤️
