Hi Eugenia . lovely as always. i am in the process of doing something similar to yours , can you please tell me what type of wood you used for the terrace ( where you eat and do yoga) ? thank you :)
Eugenia I love the lifestyle you have created for yourself. Would you mind sharing with us what that process was like. For example purchasing land, leaving the city, were there any permits that you needed?, how do you have clean water, electricity , etc. thank you so much!!!
Hey I'm a woman and I'm trying to learn the same thing you're doing I just don't know how to quite start but maybe you can give some tips in the DM or send a link or something I'm really trying to detach from the city and just family and friends so-called and I want to live a life with peace with the Lord so please inbox
She's not kidding about starting small. I managed to grow an overabundance of okra and snap peas for my family, even though I had no experience, no tools, no help, no money, no car, and no land. Some people were planting trees in front of the nearby high school, and they gave me as many empty black plastic pots as I could carry. I brought about twenty home and put them on the back patio of my apartment, and filled them with the no-good sandy dirt from around our building, mixed with one bag of compost and one bag of worm castings from the nursery. Both the okra and the snap peas grew like weeds! I honestly couldn't keep up with the okra, and some got too big to be eaten. I let those ones dry out on the plant, and they'll provide seeds for next year's crop. I also attempted strawberries and carrots, but neither did very well. They might have done better, except that squirrels kept thieving them right out from under us. My point is, you don't need acreage and a ton of resources to grow your own food - just a bit of creativity and luck. And, of course, the desire to do it. If anyone is looking for tips, Rob Greenfield has a great video about gardening without having to buy anything, and the channel Roots And Refuge has tons of good videos for people who are just starting out and may not have any space or know-how or disposable income. Happy gardening, everybody!
This is the sort of beautiful, simple, direct life that we should all be able to live. Imagine if no one had to sell the hours and days and years of their life away to mega-corporations, but we could all get what we need straight from the source, no middlemen. Thanks for the wonderful example, Eugenia.
@@TubeMeisterJC There's a few things that I would consider logical fallacies in your statement, but I'm not really the 'arguing on youtube' type of person, so I'll just suggest that if you want another perspective, you check out a book called Civilized To Death, or any of the excellent books by Joe Salatin, or some books on renewable agriculture or food forests. What poor peasants do in third world countries is not exactly optimal for a number of reasons, but that's not to say that there are no viable ways of doing something.
@@TubeMeisterJC Wow, you should be an anonymous troll on the internet! You obviously have the gift of ranting, and ad hominem attacks! I don't know what to tell you. It's very clear from your essay that you didn't actually read the book, you just read the most scathing review of it that you could find on amazon. Every criticism you level at the book is actually something that the author addresses in great detail and at length, with multiple scientific, evidence-based arguments. If you had read the book, you would have answers to those questions. The things you say are his arguments are not in fact the arguments that he makes in that book. You even seem to have gotten his main thesis wrong, because he never says that we should become uncivilized, or return to foraging. In fact, he specifically says that we can't and shouldn't. It's okay. I didn't actually expect you to read a book just because some internet stranger recommended it. I know that you have more important things to do, like spouting under-informed nonsense in the comment sections of Eugenia Diaz's beautiful videos. I wish you a happy life, friend!
I think the point of her video's and many like them are to inspire, they are not telling you this is exactly how you should live but it's showing us the possibilities of life and inspiring us for the more. Even just the video's themselves are so relaxing and encouraging.
I can’t even imagine how much time and effort went into producing this guide between the actual growing of the garden and the time producing the materials! 🌱 Investing in your creativity and inspiring videos and content means that this whole community gets to benefit from your experience. I have found that having a plan like this guide and doing my research (with some experimenting along the way for fun!) ends up saving time and money in the long run. Thank you so much for sharing this with this community!
I actually believe you and Pepe have superpowers to creative such wonderful things. You guys are a source of calm and inspiration to so many of us! I'm so excited for this book. Already purchased it! I'm so excited to actually start my own garden in my new house.
Is it really that hard for you to believe that she actually managed to grow some food in her vegetable garden? Even though people have been doing exactly that for thousands upon thousands of years?
Amazing video once again Eugenia! I have seen you working on the guide in real life for months, and all I can say is that i am so proud of you and your hard work. Sharing your designs and all the knowledge you have gathered after so much work and trial and errors with everybody for them to be able to simply replicate it without having to make your same mistakes is a wonderful deed 🖤🍀
Is there a cookbook in the making as well? I've made 2 of your recipes + cucumber/apple/ginger/mint juice which were all lovely. Both of your channels are inspiring and make me move! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful life journey.
The morning sun and the garden is my church !!! It’s different when you wake up with Mother Earth Maybe you should sell your seeds as well . I would buy them . How lovely to see where my plant babies came from !!! 🌱
There's always that sense of fulfillment when you know you're eating your own produce. 🎊 👏 congratulations Eugenia for achieving all this. You really do inspire me
Your garden makes me wish I had a small patch of ground where I could plant a garden. Very inspiring. I grew up on a farm but have been a city dweller for several decades. Makes me miss home.
So so beautiful! I love how the silence in parts of your videos. It's relaxing just watching you cook, etc. Love the message on courage too. Would love to live somewhere quiet with a beautiful garden like this one day.
Eugenia, everything around you grows at its very best. You are really talented with the beauty of flowers and the bounties of all the vegetables. And I think it's a joy to harvest what you have planted so beautifully. Your vids are artistic and graceful. Thanks for sharing these treasures.
So incredibly inspiring! Since discovering this channel a few months ago, I have started doing many of the simple tasks Eugenia has shared, but in my city centre property. Best thing I have ever done for my mental and physical health. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us, can’t wait to get my hands on copies of your book and share the achievements, lessons and vision with more people. 🌿✨ from New Zealand.
I am so excited for two things! First, you kept the little kitten which looks GREAT! Second, I ordered your book so I can use when I move to my new property. The pdf is lovely so I cannot wait to receive the hardcopy. Bravo Eugenia!
I love your Vlogs so much so that I decided to start blogging myself. A big dream of me is to travel the world and to come back to my self sufficient homestead!! I love the way you build up your Garden!! It's so insane to think that you grow everything from seed!! I hope to get that good someday. Thank you for sharing all this with us 🙏💛💛 sending love and light
You have inspired me so much since your first video on RU-vid! Your garden has really flourished it's beautiful. Big congratulation on your new book and yay to the new family member 😻
Haven't seen all your videos so I don't know if you have a pressure canner but if you invest in one you can safely preserve so much more food and you don't need a freezer. You can do soups and stews (yes with meat and fish) and low acid vegetables.
I am in love with this YT channel! Everything is so beautiful!!! I've basically watched it all now in 3 days haha - does anyone know of any other YT channels that are similar? I literally cannot find anything close to this
Liziqi and Dianxi in China, Mayo Utuk in Nigeria (I think), Cottage Fairy somewhere in the US, there's loads of similar channels. Of course, Eugenia is an auteur with her own unique style, though.
Eugenia, ever since I started watching the MHC channel, I was waiting for you to share your knowledge about gardening. Congrats on your project! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this and all your and Pepe's future endeavours. Here in Valencia, weather conditions should be similar, so I hope to be able to follow your gardening steps.
When I have the funds im 100% getting this. Every video makes me sooo happy to watch and yet so present in all the beauty in my daily life. I hope one day to have something like your place!
estos videos son el mejor ejemplo de que si se puede tener una vida autosustentable con productos orgánicos y totalmente saludables dentro de nuestra misma casa , gracias por tus videos muy motivadores ...these videos are the best example that if you can have a self-sustaining life with organic and totally healthy products within our own house, thank you for your very motivating videos
I just found your RU-vid Channel and it’s exactly what I needed before starting my van life, going fully back to nature and growing my own food. I have no idea how to grow my own food but I will learn for sure! Cooking is already my biggest skill, beside running behind a ball and scoring goals. This modern life, trying to chase some status, fame, money & power is nothing for me. people are waking up. I am since 2019. It’s time to be fully connected to nature again. Much love to you and your work. I will definitely watch some videos and visualize myself being just as connected to nature as you are. DUNYA. MOTHER NATURE. LOVE. 🤝🏽❤️🦅☝🏽📿🌅
Beautiful and inspiring, as always. 💕 Congratulations on launching your new guide, and thank you for all the love and hard work you put into every thing that you publish.
Anpther beautiful and inspirational video, Thank you 🙏🏻 🌸This spring you reminder me to start my garden where I am at my tiny balcony. I have now harvested tomatoes, Bears and cale 🥰
The sense of calm, peace, beauty and inspiration you exude, is quite amazing. Thank you 🙏✨Eugenia for giving us these beautiful glimpses into your lives. So happy that kitty came back🤗😊🤍💜
Your videos are a really nice smooth-out! But at the same time they make me really hungry! It is such a good reminder to take a long view and steadily work toward making goals happen. Your feastable forest is so amazing and beautiful! 💮🥀🌻💖
The garden looks amazing. Are the recipes you cook from a book or things you cook often? Also, are there any dangerous animals or snakes you have to look out for around where you live ❤️
