    When you are at the library look up "The Way of Herbs" by Jeannie Rose. Lots of great recipes for healing and for bath and beauty. I used it for many years ! She has many books about all things natural. You go girls❤😂🎉

      Thank you! Will do for sure. I am obsessed with the healing power of nature. It's a powerful thing and they have been utilizing it for centuries...
      So neat to be surrounded by it and have time to harvest it 😊!!!

    Chip all that wood for your compost
    Compost will go up to 140f put some pipes together and a fan and you will have hot air put some pipes together and you will have hot water. Just think 🤔

    The garden is looking good. Lily looks proud of her gardening as.she should be. 😊 I found out that using Epsom salt will kill the little bugs that come & eat lettuce & kale, plus it has the magnesium in it.

    • @Alaskan6pack
      @Alaskan6pack  5 місяців тому +1

      Oh so good to know about the salt! I will be watching the lettuce leaves! I know we share our space with critters but we need to eat too! Lol...😊

    I did firewood for room and board for about 6 years I use a sharp 8 lb Mall learned a few things about wood, I just want to share that the Birch is considered a hardwood that's why it burns long, the spruce is considered a softwood and it also has a lot of tanning will keep it from growing mold. I really like your videos I learn a lot you guys are fun to watch.

      Oh thank you, you are kind... Wish we could have a nicer, bigger greenhouse but this is all we can afford this year!
      I think it cost us $ 250.00 to build? Not too shabby! 😊🥕🥔🍅

    I cut the ripe banana skin in small pieces, add water to the container and let set for a couple days.
    Then i delute it and water my plants.

    Love all the information you give. In Alaska everyone on a homestead needs a wood splitter for sure. Lily you did a fantastic job with the tips. 👏👏👏. Hey lily I like that stir stick 😂😂comes in handy. I heard you could soak the banana peels in water and get nutrients like that. I’m praying for the produce ❤fantastic video 👏👏👏

    • @Alaskan6pack

      Thank you Cathy. Lily is such a wonderful help because she truly cares!
      Lily and I have hopeful plans to get an Alaska bath & body product line with soaps, salves, bath bombs, etc..using more natural ingredients. This will be a great thing for her too as she learns about "business". She has the gardening and harvesting down pretty good for 12 yrs old. However I want to start to introduce her to income streams, making money, etc...plus we always have fun together 😊

    Great progress, garden is doing very nice. How is the potato area doing? Are you seeing strawberries on your plants.

    • @Alaskan6pack
      @Alaskan6pack  5 місяців тому

      Potatoes doing good. Nothing popping up through dirt quite yet! It has been rainy and a bit cold most days too.
      ( this is why we love our greenhouse)
      Last time we checked the strawberry patch down below did not have any fruit on it yet...

    Good video. Is this your first year of the smoothie? Your splitter is a powerhorse. Mine is a step down from yours but I only need about half of what you need.

    • @Alaskan6pack
      @Alaskan6pack  5 місяців тому

      Oh my. Just got done splitting for a couple hours. Smooth sailing! We have had that for a couple years.
      That thing has seen some very cold temps. I can't believe it still runs so well!
      My husband used to split many cords by hand when we were first married about 25 years ago.
      It tore up his elbows. So nice to have this splitter....saves the joints for sure!

    Would you recommend the champion over another brand at the same price point.

    • @Alaskan6pack
      @Alaskan6pack  5 місяців тому +1

      That Champion has been amazing for a basic splitter.
      I would recommend it. I don't have a lot of experience with other brands with processing that much wood.
      We even cut with it at extreme temperatures in winter. We DID have to warm it up with propane and a tarp for hours first. But it split wood in negative temps after it was warm. We have used that thing I am sure to it's fullest potential! Can't believe it still runs pretty darn good! Hope that helps 😊
