I love your channel just the way it is - raw, lovely and real. I love Instagram and the accounts I follow that are similar to yours do not have negative comments (or these are not noticeable) - I do like the little updates in there, which can be just short videos made on the phone or just pictures of how the land changes etc - it doesn’t have to be too laborious but it definitely helps the following as I found lots of YT accounts there. Some of them have a ‘buy me a coffee’ options, which I think is great - it’s one way for me to say thank you to guys like you. Love what you’re doing, keep at it, it takes a lot of time and effort but you will make it a success. It’s already great and very enjoyable, I look forward to your videos. It’s a journey, buying property and land, there always will be some issues or emergencies but you can do it! And it provides material for the videos, how boring would it be if everything would just be perfect 😊 Also, thank you for taking care of Cookie, that’s so sweet of you ❤
I love your weekly updates. I really hope you get the woodworm under control. Its great that you honestly show the reality of your living conditions. I follow a lot of youtubers on their instagram channels, I like when they let me know there is a new episode coming up. Mostly their Instagram is simply short reels or posts of the everyday things they have on their channel. Also I have heard that doing youtube short videos can boost channel numbers. If that helps?
We had to face the same problem with woodworms, so we totally understand you! We decided to go for a chemical free treatment called heat sterilization that killed every egg, larvae and bug. It was expensive, but effective 😅
First of all I wanted to say that I Love your name Wale&Me. I really enjoyed your stop motion action shots you created in one of your previous videos. When you filmed behind the scenes doing the running shot to the sauna. So cool. I also really enjoy anything involving remodeling and reconstructing homes and people's design esthetics. It's interesting to see the problem solving, and restoration of these beautiful old homes. Stone houses are rare where I live here in the U.S., so I personally find it fascinating. I'm not so much a fan of travel videos. I do however, like watching people create and design their gardens, more so than day to day tending and harvesting of them. I'm sure your home will become as unique as you two. BTW: My husband and I are also plant based. So healthy recipes from others are often interesting and helpful to us. I think you both are delightful and interesting to watch. Best wishes to you both on your journey! If your not worried about numbers, then I think how your proceeding is enough. However, you always have the right to change as you move forward and your needs change. ❤
I also agree with you to use the social media that you are comfortable with in sharing your content. I am so glad that I found your channel. As a homeowner, working on your home and property never ends. My garden has grown with me, I make changes to the garden and my life when I have daily reflections. I have had gophers and squirrels in my garden cause havoc but I understand it comes with growing fruits and vegetables. Stay true to what makes you happy on the property. I also agree building a community with your neighbors or other You Tubers will provide you with some good ideas. Your local garden center might have suggestions for you too since they know the lay of the land. Continue to walk forward and confidently as you continue to acquaint yourself with your precious property. La Tierra Hermosa”.😊
I learn where I want to travel to, largely by images on Instagram of nature that are tagged. I have been to Spain twice, but not to the mountains in the north. Because of your channel, I will make sure I get there one day. If you want to grow by positively influencing the next generation to participate or more sustainable practices, then you probably need a presence on other platforms. If you are content to grow slow and steady, you are doing a fantastic job! Glad I found you!❤
Yep, I have a love/hate relationship with social media. I love seeing happy, positive, motivating content. Once in a while I see extremely upsetting stuff, that is hard to get out of my head (any kind of abuse on any living being), and often keeps me awake at night 😢.) I’m trying to eliminate that kind of content. I LOVE your channel 🥰
What you're doing here is wonderful. Just keep doing what brings you joy, the right people will find you there. To be honest, I've never had Instagram or TikTok, myself. I have the capabilities and knowledge to have then, I just don't have the desire. I love your channel and I always look forward to your videos.
If some of the trees can't handle the water pooling, you might want to put some loose gravel in the hole below the roots to help with drainage. It's a suggestion, you might want to try it first on something to see how it works.👍
Instagram is the only other platform I think you should post on. I think you recipe content and pictures from your travels and your land would be great too. All positive content! ❤
I love your videos, the sensitivity you show with the nature that surrounds you and with the animals, the landscapes that can be seen from your home and the naturalness with which you expose your day to day life. As for getting more followers, I think the process can be slow, maybe it will help you to increase one more video a week with a shorter duration. Thank you very much for sharing your videos.
For the woodbugs, maybe after painting with insectisides, wrap the wood with clingwrap plastic. So that the chemical will stay in the wood and also will avoid to smell around.
I agree, this platform is all I use, the other short clips on social media sites are meaningless compared, but some people might disagree. I would suggest that you only put out what you guys are happy creating, and feel good about. I love watching your content and the way you interact with us, asking for advice or suggestions. ❤
Oh, woodworm is my worst nightmare! Best of luck with it, I hope the treatment helps! I understand there's also a possibility of professional heat treatment, I have no experience with that but it may be worth investigating as it's not toxic. As for expanding channels, I really wouldn't put energy into things you don't enjoy. Just use the channels you do like to the best of your abilities 🤗 I love the vlog style, I love that you don't know everything (in the sense that you're not specialists in ecology, rewilding, farming or building but are willing to take it on and learn). People will follow at some point, I'm sure there are more that would be interested. And if you need to prioritise paid work in the meantime, so be it! We'll be patient ❤
I seem to remeber that you can heat steam them. Maybe wirth trying that in the spare room so you dont have the treatment smell in there. It might take several goes
I love watching your episodes! So inspiring. What you have done to your land is going to be amazing. You have planted so so so many plants, trees, bushes, etc etc. I don't like anything except FB. I just don't understand Instagram and for the other platforms, I'm just not interested. The best way I can help you is watching, liking and commenting. BTW I have been using your deodorant recipe for a couple of months now and I love it. Works perfectly, even on the hottest summer days. Thank you.
10:28 I remember once some UA-camr explaining how to dig horizontal grooves in the hills of your garden to retain water and drain excess water. If I find it - i will send you
They are called swales. They are wide, deep 'ditches' cut in the contours of the land, mainly to slow down the water so that it soaks into the land for dry climates. There is even a video on using them for wet climates (How to use swales to prevent waterlogging. Channel name Cairn of Dunn Croft Permaculture) There are some 'rules' to make swales, one is, sloping land with more than a 15 degree slope isn't suitable.
Sending sympathy on the woodworm. We're elsewhere in north of Spain and also found some in the timbers. Not pleasant but we're handling it similarly to you. Fingers crossed.
My fav things to watch are progress on projects. I would have loved to see more details on what the bug situation looked like up close when you got home. I also can’t wait to see what your chamomile looks like over time. Looking forward to updates 😊
Ik vind dat jullie heel goed bezig zijn, gewoon doorgaan en dan komt het vanzelf goed. De views en followers gaan langzaam maar zeker omhoog. Ik volg ook Frankie off grid, zij zijn langzaam maar zeker op YT gegroeid, hebben een heel eigen stijl van video’s maken en kunnen nu, na een aantal jaar, van UA-cam leven. Op Instagram geven zij aan als er een nieuwe video online staat en posten een aantal keer per week iets, een mooie foto, over hun dieren, planten etc. Ikzelf vind het inspirerend om te zien wat jullie eten, zou daar graag meer van zien., en ik denk voor veel kijkers heel waardevol. Dus dank voor alle video’s/content, ik ben er blij mee!
You can use a method called Shou Sugi Ban, it is a Japanese method of protecting the wood by burning the outer layer and it's really effective. You will find easier ways of achieving this on UA-cam I'm sure.👍
Si buscais algun metodo alternativo menos quimico para mantener vuestras vigas libres de carcoma os recomiendo rellenar los agujeros y grietas con tierra de diatomeas. Ademas, deberiais incluir algo que libere aceites esenciales de cedro o de cipres, preferiblemente el primero.
Hola! Me encanta su canal! Sus historias son muy entretenidas y reales. Como pidieron consejos de que pueden hacer para llegar a más audiencia, aquí va: 1. Timelapse. He llegado a muchos canales gracias a esos vídeos en cámara rápida de ver cómo han ido avanzando y mejorando su hogar en el tiempo. 2. Más cosas de DIY y construcción. Ese contenido llama mucho! Saludos desde el sur del mundo! Chile! 😊
Unfortunately, it’s a fact of life you’re never going to please all the people all the time! I personally don’t get why people have to be nasty and negative. If they don’t like what you are doing why not just unfollow you and stop watching you? I like the way your videos chat to us as if we are all sitting around having a chat and coffee together. Very informal, just chatting to a friend! Your planting spree seems to have been a great success around! It does the heart good to see fresh green shoots, the starting of new life. As to the washed away wildflower seeds, where ever they decide to root Mother Nature will be very happy.❤
Let me tell you a story. Not so long time ago, there was a house in the mountains. Inhabited but suddenly they all disappeared for a few days. A little mouse went for a walk and found delicious wood pest chips in this house. She took a few for the road and then quickly ran to inform the rest of the family about the feast in a warm and cozy place. As soon as possible, the whole family showed up with suitcases, ready to move in. What is the moral of this story? Two cats. You need at least two cats😊
It is my prayer that your beautiful video viewings and subscribers increase 100 fold. Come on viewers please like share and subscribe. They deserve this.
A mi me gusta mucho vuestro contenido en youtube, no os sigo en instagram quizás porque está mas enfocado a viajes, si tuviese que deciros algo que echo en falta o que me gustaría seria ideas de comidas o recetas veganas, aunque os parezca que lo que coméis no es algo muy elaborado a mí simplemente el ver algunas imágenes de vuestros platos ya me dan ideas, soy vegana desde hace poco .Muchas gracias por el tiempo que dedicáis a difundir. Saludos
8:11 it would be nice if you could add higher legs to the table on the balcony in your free time - for the health of your spine while you are still beautiful and young 😊
Everyone has an agenda,just be yourselves, you're doing great 👍
Thank you!
you do not need other soc. media. i think more people wil join this chanel, just be patient, it takes time.
I just like your honest every day life , I find you both very interesting .⭐️⭐️👋👋
Oh boy, I can't imagine how you must feel being able to hear the little critters going at it. 😬

He's obviously a really popular character in the area with more friends than you knew about. It's great that others are looking out for him as well.❤

11:32 People from Project Camp (lives also off grid) always say that they have challenges not problems. I like that attitude, as you too.

i was going to suggest raised beds for some of the trees, especially the kiwi fruit & put bark mulch in the bottom to help with drainage

Es un gusto veros. Mucho ánimo con las adversidades. Sois una inspiración!
34:06 amazing idea 💚🌿🌎 I need to find some like this in Poland
You 2 are great,ty for sharing your life 🍻
There is such wonderful nature.Great video again.

Another great video, what a beautiful landscape around you guys. Thank you for sharing guys.❤
Your channel is good as is,it's a marathon not a race on utube,it takes time to grow and it will happen in time. I use no other media channels either.
Those cute slugs and snails will eat your strawberries.
Then they’ll be their strawberries ☺️😅
@@WaleandMe They were so bad for me I had to stop growing strawberries. Oh well.

If wood beetle (not wood worm) I think you have to treat the wood at least two years or three in a row. Good luck!

Hola, si pones la campanilla dentro de bolsas transparentes será mejor, para su germinación.
Era manzanilla. Pero me entiendes.

I have this mixture from my grand mother. Its dutch spiritus met groene zeep. I dont now the name in inglisch

31:14 it looks like human made 😮
❤❤❤
I treated my woods here in Brasil by spryng kerosene and afterwards never came back!!!!!!
8:11 it would be nice if you could add higher legs to the table on the balcony in your free time - for the health of your spine while you are still beautiful and young 😊
🤗
you need some tiger snails which are eating the slugs , and not your plants
yes wood bugs are terrible...
If it smells so bad, it won't be better for you to work with bare hands?
Human killed a lot of animals, poor little woodworms.
Not very healthy to live in that chemical house.
I would living in a tent or caravan outsite.
Please just stay on UA-cam. I never look at TikTok or Instagram
