That staple guns stinks I broke mine within an hour too :(
The Kveik you used is a hard and fast fermenter, some people use it to make sure they can go start to stop in as little as 48 hours if done under pressure. I will say, I don’t chill my wort - I actually don’t own a chiller nor is my sink big enough to hold my fermenter, what I do is either seal my boil kettle, or rack to the sanitized fermentation vessel, and let it come down in temp overnight. Living in Western NY though, there’s about 4 months of the year where I can just throw my container outside for an hour or two and use nature’s chiller. Nice video!
Props to your incredibly supportive parents you seem a bit high maintenance :P lol
Wait till potato plant dies then you can harvest
Hi Alex, where did you bulk buy your seeds from please? :-)
Get over yourself. If you have to dig, then just "chop chop" and get on with it
It's a Leek
If you have many slugs then get a pair of ducks they love eating them
And yeah that is a lot

What book did you read for reference?
paint some big pebbles red and spread them out birds will try to peck the "fruit" and by the time you have berries they'll be uninterested
Congrats on your video. I watched and enjoyed all of it. Keep producing. You have skills.

Hiya, I'm currently trying to transform my garden into veg patches, not wanting to make raised beds and dig up the grass that's there, I also found lots of stones so I'm going to sieve them like you did. Great video thank you for documenting it!
i just watched the whole video and u really got me thinking about this. i didnt mind it was a long video but, it was great. i loved it. i am inspired by you. this was one of the realistic video and one of the golden content i have ever seen on youtube.
beekeeping is the best job ever
apprently egg shells keep the slugs/snails away. washing them, put them in a cloth, smash them in ti tiny sharp objects, and place them around your grows.. also salt... hope this helps.
Bro that slug story sounds awful haha
Alex, you are artist of video making keep up the great work!
I started with my veg garden but it’s becoming hard hard has I don’t have the money to buy more items for my garden but you give me motivation to be positive and keep on growing my garden and to manage it well Plus I’m in school still so it’s hard to manage my garden but you give me motivation as you are so passion about it I might go into this career cause I feel happy after gardening and doing do to the plants Is there any more tips to growing my plants ??😊🤍
Just wanted you to know that I enjoyed every minute of this video 😊
I really miss the old garden from last year, hope you get allotted with the land at the earliest
Hey there, I love your video I have watched it a couple times. I just wanted to encourage you to go back and blurry out your license plate number. For your protection. Have a blessed day.
Love your context Alex, especially, the bee content. Keep it up buddy.
Check out Terra Vera for the mite issue…
You could get a distiller and distill the water so you can use tap water in your own beer :)
We always "dug" potatoes on Labor Day (Sept 1st). You need to just gently dig in the soil for the bigger ones and leave the little ones in the soil to continue to grow.
Fear comes from eating the wrong mushroom. Foraging can be dangerous and fearful 😮😅
I you make potions right, Can you brew me and ale ?
Do you need to have that vacuum fan running everyday??
Love this, you've done amazing, grow your melons on the grown, they love to grow running on the ground on straw, brilliant gob
I'm not a beekeeper, so I'm just curious. Can't you just have hive on stand by so that when the colony slips they can just move to the nearest hive? Or is that not how it works?
Awesome
When you store the boat should be always (always) clean and completely (!!!) dry! If you store it and it is not completely dry the humidity will go and penetrate all the seams, the glue will be destroyed and then you should say goodbye to you boat! It will be not only useless but also dangerous! Always be very careful with PVC inflatable boats!
Hi very nice but you should ingredients in description
Put crashed egg shells under your plants. It will hurt the slugs tummies! (and won't eat your peas)
Just be careful if your using broods for honey boxes mate as you might not get your frames in your extractor 👍
eggschells work very fine against snails and slugs
Alex if you get a shallow container and bury up to the rim then fill with cheap beer and the slugs will go in to drink the beer and drown. The yeast and fermentation smell will draw them in. Copper will also deter the slugs
Just discovered this video, could not stop watching it. Wonderful job and well put together. Congratulations on your successful! Hope to see more from your bee keeping journey.
