So Many Completed Projects... and New Experiments!
So many projects got done this week and I'll let you know about some new experiments we are starting.
------------------------------------------
Hi I'm Brian with Little Homestead - Big Dreams. If this is your first time here... welcome! I'm glad you're here! If you're a longtime friend, welcome back!!
For most of my life I was a city boy, gardening in the suburbs. I was the first generation in my family to not grow up on a farm and somehow it was still there inside me. So now my wife Emilie, son Noah and I have moved to a small farm (at least it will be) and we're documenting our journey on this channel. Building gardens and chicken coops, buying a dairy cow and who knows what else lies in store. But we can't wait to take you with us!

    Make sure all the trees you are growing are not poisonous to the livestock. If the wind blows the leaves into the pasture could make your livestock sick

  • @aaronnader1161
    @aaronnader1161 Před dnem

    I can not believe I am watching this right after the comment I left on the video prior to this. You literally did a video saying my thoughts! And to answer your question, I come here for all of it! I love seeing your family and Bella and daisy and all the animals, but also for inspiration because I am in that classroom waiting room of renting a single family home albeit small and we can’t did or do anything aside from planting things we want in the premade beds outside the front but are able to use the grassroots pots to grow some vegetables (this will be my first successful time growing them if I end up getting any from them) and here to learn for the future as we work toward that dream. Again my name is Carrie and I’m Aaron’s wife commenting on his account haha

  • @aaronnader1161
    @aaronnader1161 Před dnem

    Okay I’m posting as Aaron’s wife because I watch your channel on his account…😬 Anyways, I just HAD to come here since I always watch you on our tv, I’ve been following you since before you moved to the new property and I love watching you because we (mainly me) dream of having enough land to do what you are doing (maybe not as elaborate as you) and for the same reasons! I recently have been doing tons of research into ancestral eating and living and want to do more! We don’t own our property and it’s quite small, and in an HOA but I do as much as I can with the little I have and with 3 kids 5 and under! We are Catholic and from what I’ve seen on your channel have a hunch you might be too? I could be totally wrong. Also I ALWAYS love seeing what Emily is making so, yes! Please have her show us that homemade pancake thing! Thank you for being the brave face for all of us out there and spreading the truth about what big food (and honestly big pharma too..) are doing to our country and our health! ❤️ Also, I don’t struggle with anxiety too much but occasionally and my husband for sure does. So thank you for being open and honest about tough issues too!

    I highly recommend this link for truly understanding your roosters and preventing and ending any aggression. Problem is if we dominate our roosters often the successful results are only short term. The roosters nature is to always be the alpha so it’s only a matter of time before they challenge head rooster (you)…..as roosters do in nature. czcams.com/video/4TPsh44AIak/video.htmlsi=jkLyAdtkM4q3eexd.

    I love all your future plans you are sharing. Like the idea of a metal roof for the large structure and thatch for a small structure. Echoes what you have without being too repetitive. Have you thought about using an auger attached to a drill to dig your hard soil. (Like Laura on Garden Answer!)

    I ever set up this kind of drip system, but over time, the system often get clogged and choked, as our water has plenty of lime (hard water) and at times, it has sand or some debris. Too much work to unclogged the system. So I gave up and use the normal way of watering with bigger water hose.

    This is off the subject but wanted to give you the information. I came across this by accident you talk that you have a DVD I believe. Forgive me if I am wrong on that. I came across this diet called the Feinegold diet specifically for ADHD. If a food or substance can affect us like an allergy it can have some bearing on our bodies in certain ways that can create havoc. Anyway, happy searching. Nancy from Nebraska

    Old video I know. But if my neighbor has chickens and I decide to get some. Will they co-mingle?? Will my chicks end up in their coops or vise versa?? Will they compete or war with each other ?? Or will they stay with their own group?? They’d haft to cross a road. And I don’t want to create an accident. I’ve been wondering what would happen.

    Thought struck me!!! Event 😂. Where you have the ladders under the hay what about metal corrugated aluminum roofing. Easy to slide hay on, water proof from the bottom, overlapped to not cnatch the bales and your all set. With buying to much maybe you already have a couple sheets. Have an awesome week. See you next video. Love your p. rogram. Jeanette

    Brian, when I think of what you started with there in the San Diego area and then see what you have now, I think it is stunning. Where did you get your great work ethic? It looks like you are passing it along to your son Noah. Kinda amazing when you consider that teen age years are notoriously lazy. Love both your channels and your family and animals (especially gorgeous Bella!). Also, a big hug to your wonderful followers and all the experience and advice they bring to your projects.❤

    I wish there was a "love it" button here. Emelie, I guess you chose the song for the video for Brian? Such a great pick! A great video too! And Brian, I didn't send a video of my own for several reasons but mostly because it would've been very difficult to say out loud that gardening is my way of keeping my late grandma alive and I was terrible at it. You've helped me become a pretty decent gardener. I like to think every now and then that if she could see me (and the garden) now, she'd be proud. I noticed just people from the USA were in the video. So here's one grateful Eastern European ❤

    Brian, do you have a video that points out the different species of plants in your tropical garden that you presently have and will be adding to it? My husband and I are in OC and looking to upgrade our backyard to a more tropical feel.

  • @Gen_X_Jenn
    @Gen_X_Jenn Před 10 dny

    Having tried the upside down planters myself, they don't work very well. The vines tend to twist and grow right side up, instead of down, since they are growing towards the sun. Best of luck on it.

  • @Robot_Cajun
    @Robot_Cajun Před 10 dny

    You have done so much work and it all looks fantastic. I’d keep an eye on that fenceline between the “parking lot”/driveway and the pasture for erosion. Two possible sources of erosion are 1) runoff from the parking lot/driveway to the hill on one side and 2) natural erosion of the hill on the other side of the fence. Grass might not be sufficient; It usually isn’t where I live. If the banana trees have large root systems, that might eventually help secure the hill but they also might create voids in the soil for water to infiltrate.

    You should try and see if you can get a variety of Banana commonly known as 'Lady Fingers' They're small narrow finger size as the name suggests. But are they sweet, my favorite, but I have never seen them outside Thailand and its too cold where I live to try growing any Banana😞. There are supposed to be 52 varieties of banana in Thailand we were told on our holidays there, not including Plantain, they were adiment they are not bananas though they look similar.
