    Here in Quebec Canada, a local nursery/farm have engaged Wwoofers for many years - always highly recommended. Your videos are great! But today especially, it was nice to see the dog, and the beautiful black kitty. You are inspiring and fun to watch. ❤😻🌷

    I WWOOFed in Japan. I wanted to experience farming, travel cheaply, and get better at Japanese. It was a great experience!

    Both my kids participated in the WWOOF program. My son went to France for 3 months and my daughter to Watkinsville California with one of her best friends. Your young adults have to be really open to different experiences. Including more than 4 hours a day work, maybe sleeping in tents, sleeping in barns or RV’s. Lots of vegetables to eat and outdoor bathing. 😂
    They loved their experiences and were experienced travelers prior to doing the program. I have a lavender farm and someday I hope to host WOOFF’ers on my land as well.

    That Wwoof program is so great. I wish I knew about it when I was younger, what a great way to travel and see the best of Organic farming.
    I think a lot of the You Tube Homesteaders should think about it.
    I looked at many farms on the site. They often want people for the whole growing season and most young people don't won't to be stuck in one place that long and then have no home in the winter months.
    It sounds like a great idea though.
    I'm in Oregon. It sounds like a great idea for me to get help on my mini homestead. Thank you! ♡

    My son WWoofed for a few seasons in Montana and loved it. He met amazing people and learned about food - more about animal culture than planting. He was a twenty-something already involved in nature (Outward Bound and other projects).

    my daughter's friend wwoofed for months before getting her own sheep and small farm, it is a good way to learn if you are or not cut out for manual labor...the unfarming sounds like an awesome and fun experience...in my opinion learning about food forests should be taught in school and city kids should take field trips to farms and rural kids take field trips to the city...ps I found some leftover coleus seeds and planted them yesterday

    I have to say that a tiny shovel-full at a time and long walks back and forth would take forever to mulch my plants. I’ve had paid employees that did that and they didn’t last long. But free labor I guess.

    • @RTCPhotoWork
      @RTCPhotoWork 2 роки тому +1

      Start by testing the soil. The wrong balance of chemicals in the soil can mean plenty of foliage but very little flowers. Too much nitrogen and not enough phosphorus is usually the culprit I think.

    • @FlowerHillFarm
      @FlowerHillFarm  2 роки тому +2

      I'd definitely start by checking how deep it's planted. It's usually planted too deep.
