  • In this video, we're sharing a significant leap in our homesteading journey - the construction of our very first greenhouse on our land! 🌱🏡
    Well, it's more like a small poly-tunnel, but hey, it counts!
    From planning to completion, we documented every step of this exciting project to bring you along on our adventure towards a more self-sufficient life.
    This greenhouse is going to create a year-round growing space that allows us to extend our growing season, increase our food production, and get one step closer to food security. 🌿☀️
    And honestly, we’re finally going to propagate A LOT of plants for our food forest!
    In this video, you'll see:
    • How we chose the perfect location for our greenhouse.
    • Step-by-step construction footage, showcasing the challenges we faced and how we overcame them.
    • Tips and insights for those of you inspired to start your own greenhouse project.
    We hope this video inspires you to take your next step towards self-sufficiency, whether it's building a greenhouse, starting a garden, or planting your first food forest.
    Enjoy!

      I d like to subscribe but the security system doesn't let me in maybe because I live in Moscow... Anyway- whatever you decide ❤ In the meantime, when the rain came I was getting all excited to see the rain in your on contour water channels. (Missing the words to say it properly). How are these going? And the pound? Love your project ❤

      The live in greenhouse/vertical farm.

      Each unit grows a different crop.

    in Portugal it's very important to cut the Cytisus/Portuguese Broom that surround your land before the dry season because they are extreme fire propagators 🙏

    I am working on similar project with a slightly bigger size of 40 hecter land. The project has drained almost all of my savings and in two years I am hardly able to transform 30% of it. However, I have 4000 food trees standing that will start commercial next year onwards. Also growing alot of vegies and expecting at least 2 tons of garlic and another 2 tons of onions. Hopefully that will give some income that will be used to increase the size of cultivatable land. This is a very exepensive project. Good luck to you guys and waiting for more updates.

It has been an amazing journey to watch and I'm happy for you and proud of you for the work you have done to make it happen. I'm excited to see the benefits of having the greenhouse and how it will help you become more self-sufficient.

    Just a thought. Water, is critical. That water may just be runoff from the heavy rain. Or, it may be a small spring. It may not be there in the depth of Summer when you really want it. But, here is the thing. If you dig a hole. Line it with brick to hold the water back, even slightly, then, when you need water, it is already there in your greenhouse. Bury an IBC under it, let it fill the IBC and you can draw water from it when you need it, perhaps even in the dry months. Just a thought. Use what nature provides.
