Hahaha, die kat van jullie, wat een leuk (en mooi) diertje. Ik geniet van al jullie dieropnames. En van alle andere zaken. Wat zijn jullie een leuk en hard werkend stel. Jullie hebben al zoveel tot stand gebracht. Dank je wel voor de prachtige momenten met veel gevoel vastgelegd en met mooie onderliggende muziek! Het is een mooie tegenhanger in de huidige tijd, een zalfje voor de ziel, even een moment om tot rust te komen en te genieten! Dank voor het delen van jullie wel en wee.
You have the best videos on utube. I am so glad to see each and every one. I have watched them all a couple of times and am so excited when a new one comes out. Beautiful, interesting, informative and wonderfully creative. Thank you 🙏 ❤😊
I watched this one #34 last night. I’m almost caught up! Thank you for letting us glimpse your world of slow living, and very hard work! Besides the homestead, I really appreciate that you let us in on your artwork, and how you are trying to make it financially. More and more of us are trying to live in an alternative lifestyle and economy. It’s beautiful that gifts from neighbors come in the form of food and labor. PS Your artwork is amazing!!!!
Just found your channel a few weeks ago as one of your "tour" videos came up as a suggestion. After that, I went back to watch from the beginning, and finished the videos this morning. So interesting! I only wish I had known at your age that I wanted to do such a thing, but it's fascinating to watch your projects unfold. Thanks for the lovely videos and insight into your lifestyle. And the cat always makes me laugh!
Aah, the simple life. Hard work but very rewarding. Your home, garden and animals are a delight to watch. The quality of your videos are fantastic and your narration exceptional. Look forward to see what the future looks like...at a nice slow pace, as there is no real rush to get things done. Cheers from New Zealand.
I'm sorry about the frost bitten plants, that can be so disappointing. Your work with the pond is astounding, all by hand I think not many people would attempt that.
For your pond you can make small gloating islands of plants on your pond using a ring of thick recycled polystyrene in a drawstring sack filled with some substrate and planted with sedges, or water horsetails etc, they look attractive too.
It’s a joy to watch your videos. Your gardens are incredible. The ponds are laborious but worth the work. The rocks are stunning when all in place. Well done & thanks
From Long Island, NY. what a delight to see you again after your last video! You’re an industrious couple. Artistic. Skillful. And your cat🐈 is a pampered one!💐
Only just watched this one, feel like it's not too late to make a suggestion. Grapes become a force unto themselves, especially the first four/five foot of them. I wrapped them around a pagoda post like a saw you doing twenty years ago now. They are now a threat to the structure with their slow but determined growth. I'd suggest just running the leaders straight up to the top of the post without wrapping them around. Thankyou for sharing your journey :)
All your seedlings look so healthy! Sorry 😞 you lost so many to frost, it can be so discouraging to finally get them in the ground and then have a unexpected cold night. This spring in Canada 🇨🇦 where I live was warmer than usual and I took a chance planting things earlier, fortunately I didn’t lose any, but I think I got lucky! Luv ❤the pond! Your videos are inspiring to watch and always give me a sense of peace and encouragement. It is amazing to see what you accomplish with hard work, creativity and patience.
I'm happy this message that you can reach goals with hard work, some creativity and patience is coming across! That's exactly what I hoped for :) Thanks so much for watching! I hope you have a great growing season over there
한국의 방송 EBS에서 당신들 부부를 보고 VLOG를 찾아 왔어요. 느린 시간을 살아가는 모습이 도전이 되었기 때문입니다. 겉잡을 수 없이 빠르게 흘러가는 서울에서 나는 시간에 끌려다니는 듯 살고 있습니다. 스스로 재료를 만들어 집을 짓고 가축을 기르고 땅에서 채소를 재배하여 자급자족하며 살아가는 당신들은 참 좋아보입니다. 친환경적이고 생명력 있으며 평화롭고 인간에게 똑같이 주어진 시간을 잘 사용하는 것 같아 좋은 영감을 받았습니다. 감사하고 응원하며 기도합니다.
I planted the leftover tomato plants (that did not fit into the greenhouse) outside at the end of May and the very next night (must have been the same night of your frost) they got severe frost damage. However, I did not remove them since the central stalk seemed firm. Now it is coming back from the side shoots. You can multiply indeterminate tomato plants from the shoots almost indefinitely.
I tried that too with the tomatoes! But I think the frost got too deep into them, and only a couple made some shoots! Now I got some left-over tomatoes from the neighbors so that's great
I recently discovered this video and am very pleased. Your homestead is beautiful and reflects the love you both have for it. I am impressed with your layout and with the animals you keep. Your gardens are very impressive, and I am familiar with the amount of work that goes into them. The pond is looking fabulous and I look forward to more video to see your progress there. I too am fond of bunnies, I am impressed with your bunny tractor. Your video is very well done and I find peace and joy watching it. The narration is very good also. Thank you for sharing such beauty with the world, I have subscribed and look forward to more videos in the future.
Loved this video, so glad you could save the red squirrel. I always like 👍 and I am subscribed but I just wanted to say I always watch your videos at least twice. The lovely way you narrate and the relaxing music and ambient sounds make for a great podcast type audio listen on my walk to work. I have to watch again to see the beautiful videography and the updates to your house and garden. Bonus when you show what woodcuts, lino cuts you are working on. Much love from South Wales 🏴
It's a job you are so young and agile packing all those rocks around-what an undertaking! Your pond will look quite wonderful when all the plants have grown in it! Would a skimmer help with controlling the mosquito larvae? You would have to import a ton of dragon flies to keep the moggies down!! Your garden looks so healthy with all the seaweed and straw mulch around the plants! Too bad about the frost on the tomato plants! In the Okanogan where I live,I have to make sure my plants are covered during the hottest parts of the day! We all have different growing pains!❤. Cheers from Canada, Sandy&Andy
My name is Jonas. Your husbands name is Jonas. Celebrate Jonas. I wish you both well in what you do! PS your filter system idea is good. I will consider this upon completing my own garden. Be well
Beautifull pond and cat on high :-) Found the catnip? I wanted to ask about the water system. Since then i only saw one container for rainwater at you. I can see that at Viibema raining a lot but i still found it few. Now i see you have two more. :-) Will you use the pond for treat the greywater? How you treat the grey and black water? I wish you good health and happyness! :-)
You both are a very determined couple, im amazed at the amount of effort you both put forward in achieving your goals ,especially the pond ! I hope you have a bountiful harvest this year. With so many projects going on, how do you prioritize which to do first ? Keep up the great work😃
We do not need rubber sheets, to make ponds. All we need, is heavy machine to compact the soil. Zep Holzer explains ,how to do this in his Permaculture videos. Perfectly reliable. Day by day, your place getting better! Good luck! Wish more young people, to follow your steps to create Permaculture and naturally, beautiful garden and home place to leave!
So you should chip in and buy them the machine to compact the soil. Maybe the soil is difficult to be compacted to be a good enough bottom of a pond. Maybe for this beautiful hard working couple is more appealing a plastic sheet rather than all that waste of energy, money and carbon emissions. We do not need it? Maybe YOU don't need it. I'm not seeing an incredible amount of natural compacted soil videos for a pond on your profile. Let people be without unnecessarily lecture them. Peace and prosper.
@@mdoffgrid I no lecture them or you , but you do. Just said ,what Zep Holzer does in his Permaculture ponds ,and he has much more experience than you , MD Off Grid, or them.
I understand and appreciate your comments and yes in some cases that could work! Having acces to our pond is a bit difficult though for such heavy machinery. And is that even possible for the small scale that we are doing here? And it's not plastic at all, it's actually a rubber liner :)
Thank you for the new video! I love seeing all the progress on your pond. I am sorry you had frost damage on your plant, it is disheartening to see the damage done to your hard work. I have 2 small water features in my backyard and add a product called Dunk. It is a bacteria that prevents mosquitoes from hatching. It is safe for fish and other animals. You might want to look into that type of product to add to your pond.
I will attest to this user's claim that Mosquito Dunks work well and are based on a bacterium called Bti. It is the recommended method of mosquito control proposed by conservation hero and entomologist Doug Tallamy for still water near homes (so long as the water doesn't return to rivers/streams). I would recommend using something to that effect before your mosquitos get overwhelming and until your pond is established! Fish help but they can also require more maintenance if their waste causes algae blooms in your pond. Love your videos! Best of luck.
@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living I hope you can find a product like mosquito Dunk in your area. This is my first year using it and it has made a big improvement in reducing the number of mosquitoes in our yard. I no longer see any mosquito larvae in our water features.
Hello, thanks for new video. My wife want to ask you, how do you know so much about gardening. I'm telling he, that from youtube :). But could you please share more about that topic, she would be really grateful... Thank you very much.

After so much hard work, and labor, the pond is, and will be extraordinary.❤
Your both doing a wonderful job in looking after your land and all species that visit it. Thank you for been great stewards.

Just want to thank you both. You are an inspiration towards remembering how beautiful life is.
Ahw great to hear that!
I was so happy to see, that you uploaded a video. It is always so calming and heartwarming. I love your garden and I am excited for the pond :)
Wonderful video again, always a real highlight of the day! :) Your cat is hilarious and your pond and garden are looking great! 💚
I'm sorry about the frost bitten plants, that can be so disappointing. Your work with the pond is astounding, all by hand I think not many people would attempt that.
Laura you are a very focused and hard worker . Your home is in many ways like my own. I have enjoyed all of your videos . ATB

Wow, that is a lot of rocks. Looks great.
You both have such sweet souls for helping that squirrel, and i just am n love with your lifestyle. Thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration
Love your videos they are so tranquil. You both work so hard - you have achieved so much in such a short time - Well Done!!!

Good advice, I will keep that in mind :)
What a lovely video! We found that introducing some very small fish into our pond early on helped tremendously with the mosquito larvae. Good luck!
Foukanelli lying in the dried primroses 😂 Great to see you back, you have been busy 👏👌🍀
Well done! Looking beautiful! You two are great builders! So strong!
It was introduced in the Korean Education Program and I was impressed to watch it. I applaud u two for your passion. Subscription. 😊

Your pond is coming along nicely and your garden is looking promising. all the best to both of you.
So beautiful ❤ thank you so much!
Beautiful everything.
I love the way you keep grass between vegetable garden beds
I have been checking your page for a new video and I’m so happy there’s a new upload. Cheers to your new pond!
Greetings from Luxembourg! ❤
You have made a beautiful pond! all the rocks you gathered are a nice feature. Beautiful gardens! ENJOY your summer~~
Such a wonderful video. I can't wait to follow you more😍
I truly am in awe of all you are both doing! Such hard work and it's all coming together so beautifully!
Thank you for the inspiration.
Everything is coming together so nicely!
This is really interesting actually. Never heard someone doing this! Thank you for the tip!
한국의 방송 EBS에서 당신들 부부를 보고 VLOG를 찾아 왔어요.
느린 시간을 살아가는 모습이 도전이 되었기 때문입니다.
겉잡을 수 없이 빠르게 흘러가는 서울에서 나는 시간에 끌려다니는 듯 살고 있습니다.
스스로 재료를 만들어 집을 짓고 가축을 기르고 땅에서 채소를 재배하여 자급자족하며 살아가는 당신들은 참 좋아보입니다.
친환경적이고 생명력 있으며 평화롭고 인간에게 똑같이 주어진 시간을 잘 사용하는 것 같아 좋은 영감을 받았습니다. 감사하고 응원하며 기도합니다.
Such hard work ... And soo rewarding ❤️ congratulations !! and keep up the creative spirit within 💪🍀
You guys are inspiring
I planted the leftover tomato plants (that did not fit into the greenhouse) outside at the end of May and the very next night (must have been the same night of your frost) they got severe frost damage.

If the mosquitoes are a problem (and they no doubt will be) get some feeder goldfish and throw them in the pond. The goldfish will eat the larvae.
С удовольствием посмотрел.
Спасибо за видео.

Show! Amazing!
Amazing pond! Would love to hear about how you decided on the shape. Thanks for sharing 💜
Maximum amount of edge-space and a lot of planting shelves in this bean- shaped form!
I love following your journey, very inspiring!!! Waiting for new videos. Kisses from Brazil
Yur place is looking good 👍! Hope yur squrille makes it!
Lovely!!! Praying for you both!
great vlog again :) I'm also dreaming of a pond nearby our future home. But the muscito's..yeah.. that's the only downside ;) groetjes uit Nederland
So happy to see this today , yay !

Your videos are awesome. But I do feel bad that you live in the frozen north. Living in Estonia sounds like a frosty nightmare.
Rabbits need to run and dig and you keep them locked up and squashed together all the time ...
BRAVE TO CONSTUCT A MOSQUITO FACTORY SO CLOSE TO YOUR DOOR.
Way too pathetic
Add a few mosquito fish to the pond to take control of the mosquito population. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquitofish
