Вставка

- Northern Canadian homesteader Stephen (from How a Family Has Lived Off-Grid In The Wilderness For 32 Years) shows us how he created the most abundant vegetable gardens and greenhouses from scratch. He started with poor soil in one of the harshest climates on earth and turned it into a most bountiful garden of Eden. How did he do this? He shares what he's learned from 30+ years of gardening and divulges some of his secrets.

Thank you for a great intro composting…. I would love to grow potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, onions, and cucumbers… I’m going to join a community garden
That sounds great! Glad you liked the video!
Amazing family. I would love to have friends like him. Such a smart man and so much info in 30 min
Great Steven gardening look great may be one day I be coming to see you again now I have a farm in the kispiox
Great to see you again
Sooooo good and so true! We make our compost too, here in Nova Scotia. We use kitchen scraps, weeds and grass, horse, cow, sheep, chicken and rabbit manures/bedding…. EVERYTHING! It’s awesome.
Love the freezer beets & carrots! Awesome!
Excellent !! Not that far from my place at Tagish, where I spend the summers.
Excellent and inspirational.
good work, thank you, ALL stay safe
Thanks Dave!
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
New sub!
Awesome, thanks!
Love the video! Thank you. Just curious though, doesn't plastic and chemicals from the fridges and barrels leach into the soil, thus contaminating the crops?
Thanks for bringing that up. Good point. I wonder if Stephen could answer that?
Stephen here. Good question, the short answer is: yes, a bit. What I do is I burn out the barrels with a Tiger Torch (basically a propane flame-thrower) to burn off any chemical residue that may be in the barrels. I get the barrels good and hot so that every last bit of residue is burnt off. When I see no more smoke or haze coming off the barrel then I give it another 20 seconds of flame and then call er' done. The freezers have had their compressors taken out so there is no danger of chemical contamination. The freezer compartments themselves are food-grade finished so they are not an issue. The rust is the only matter and it does not harm the crops as it is simply iron-oxide which in small quantities is not a problem.
I would like to know the manufacture of the greenhouse membrane! out off Manitoba?
Stephen, do you also use human faeces for composting? Apparently it's the richest in nutrients.
Do you and your wife can up, dry, dehydrate?

Yup, all of it. We freeze meat and berries, we can meat and fish and berries and veggies, and we dry carrots and kale and parsley and watercress and dandylion and herbs and teas.
I waisted tons of time, money and effort to build raised beds, greenhouse etc.
Now since 2 years I'm on proper human diet, our ancestors diet what they ate for thousands of years-carnivore. Never felt better, no blood high pressure, no belly, lost 70 lbs, testosterone triplet. I'm 65.
Never ever will eat plants anymore.
