Welcome to our channel, where we are thrilled to share our passion for homesteading, natural living, gardening, and herbalism with you. Our goal is to inspire and empower you to connect with nature, improve your well-being, and create a more sustainable way of living.
We invite you to join us on our journey as we explore different aspects of homesteading, gardening, and herbalism. From planting and harvesting in our garden, to raising animals, making homemade remedies, and wildcrafting, we will share our knowledge and experience with you. Our hope is that our videos will inspire you to start your own journey towards a more self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle.
Living in zone 3 on the Canadian Prairies presents unique challenges for homesteading and herbalism. The harsh climate, dry and nutrient-poor soil, and risk of drought are just a few of the obstacles we face. However, we have found ways to adapt, using new technologies, crop genetics, and gardening techniques. We also source plants from other regions and dry and store them for future use. We are excited to share these tips and techniques with you.
We are inspired by our grandfather, who taught us the value of determination and the importance of living in harmony with nature. His love for gardening and herbalism has stayed with us throughout our lives, and we are honored to carry on his legacy.
On our channel, you will find a variety of videos, including tutorials on homesteading for beginners, organic gardening methods, permaculture, and backyard farming for food security. We also share tips on natural living, eco-friendly living hacks, and traditional skills for modern homesteaders. Our herbalism videos cover topics such as homemade remedies, herbal medicine for natural healing, and wildcrafting.
We are excited to connect with you on this journey towards a more self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle. Thank you for joining us!

    @jbutler900 Před 3 měsíci

    You worked your butt off doing that. I have the same push planter. Its great for the garden but I've done 1 acre of sunflower and 2 acre of corn. The crapper about the fields is all the dead weed/grass growth getting stuck and grabbed by the small planter. Next time you plant sun flowers try broadcasting but don't over seed it. I've had just as good plants, just don't over seed.

    You checked to see if you have a hard pan? Was just watching the tiller bouncing up and down. One way to check is to dig up a sunflower plant. Check the tap root. If it is running off to the side. You have a hardpan.

    Hi Cody, I just dropped in to say hi and wish you and your family the very best this holiday season. It's been curious weather so far here on Vancouver Island - looks like we're going to get another pineapple express to keep us warm-ish and wet through the new year. The weather is great for my gardens and my worms, but not so great for skiers! Take care, ~ Sandra
