Spring at my Off-Grid River Homestead 

Hi y'all, thank you for your kind comments. For anybody questioning my gardening techniques: Of course I put the cardboard next to the potatoes to stop the grass growing there 😄

Eucalyptus bark is not good to use in a woodstove or fireplace. It creates excessive sticky residue in the chimney which is hard to remove and over time can start a chimney fire. If your only option is to burn Eucalyptus you need to have your stove pipe cleaned regularly . Best just not to burn it.

Yay, Sunday night special, for us in Australia 😅 🇦🇺

Always good to have nice neighbours helping wirh machineries and time.

We look forward to this every Sunday morning! Thanks!

You are developing your land into a beautiful dream property, Maya! I love to watch you use all of the resources your land provides. You are starting at the perfect age. Thank you for sharing!

Everything you're doing on your land is beautiful. How do you afford to have all this help and to do such expensive projects? Are you like a doctoror something? What else do you do?

The more you grow, the more you know.🤗

My favorite weather is seeing you 😊

I always look forward to your videos…you’re so positive and a hard working woman.

Spring is my favorite time of the year, because the Earth springs forth, New Life.

Spring is a good time to cut back mimosa and dead growth. Damp proofing the front door upstairs corner from the old retaining wall. Preparing for utilities in the basement room. Use cut logs to border the potato bed.

3:10…. Great recycling idea for the seed boxes!!

Spring is a lot of work but so much fun🎉🎉

Goed mogen volg je al vanaf begin van je verbouwing heb je de laatste maanden niet meer gevolgd en als zie wat je allemaal gedaan heb👌♥️ me grootste recept voor jouw Jong Dame 👌💪👋👋had vroeger ook deze droom!!!! maar mijn partners Wouden altijd zekerheid in het leven hebben helaas ben ik nouw 60 jaar en ben weer allen!!! Ik had mijn hart en droom moeten volgen groetjes uit Nederland mooie werk jonge dame 💪👍👌👌👌

Hallo Maya, es ist schön wieder was von dir zu hören und sehen, freu mich über deine Fortschritte, du schaffst das alles mit so viel Elan, und Durchhaltevermögen. Toll, und Danke dafür das du es mit uns teilst. Weiterhin viel Glück, Kraft und Frohsinn!!! LG Elke

Omg that’s a lot of water coming down the river. Stay safe and warm ❤❤

Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog ve video için kolay gelsin hayirli işler bol bereketli kazançların olsun 👍👍👍👍

Happy to see your smile. Glad you have a warm, dry home.

The grass you collected is great material for mulching or an addition to your compost pile. Good time for the first compost pile mix of the season. Great job surgically opening the corner of the house for waterproofing. I hope you are gratified to know that your labor to waterproof the rest of the building was 100% effective! 🤓👍 Wonderful job mulch you new potato bed! Greens and browns, grass and woodchips, f grasses sneak through in spite of your efforts, buy a bale of clean dry straw (not hay) and add a thick layer on top. Potato's like to grow in straw. Be sure to go around the perimeter of your property and strim the mimosa sprouts while they are young. You will have to do this several times this year and next.

Hi Maya. Nice Homestead. With your saw buck if you move the middle X closer to one end you’ll find it easier to cut.

😁When planting potatoes you need to cut the whole potato into sections where just the eye is. One potato can provide six or even eight plants. There is no need to plant the whole potato.🥰

So happy you have a warm and cosy place to stay, and next winter you're going to have a real bathroom and a lot more living space, probably. It's really coming together...! 🎉😊

Such a happy, positive channel, thank you 🙏 🇦🇺

Im exited for the seedlings OMG 😱

We have black mould that randomly grows every few years we use 'dettol mould and mildew remover' and it's absolutely amazing!

Always binge watching from Philippines 🇵🇭

Lovely property. Enjoy watching and love your achievements. You work so very hard.

Just found your chanel. And your personality is so addictive, that i feel it. I'm even getting more happier by you. Beside that i love to see what you. You get me as an subscriber

I have thoroughly enjoyed your channel. I am looking forward to your next post. One tip: I find a cheap small tarp useful to place weeds and trimmings on. You can drag the tarp and dump it easily where you want.

Hi Maya, Another enjoyable video. Great work on the saw horse. Take care. Cheers, Huw

Maya, beautiful to watch all the hard work you are putting into your home and land. Spot on with 'Gardener's dream', absolutely my kind of world. Keep sharing, waiting to see the potato patch progress.🌿🌎🍀

i love the simple pleasures that are exhibited in this video :)

Incredible the work you’ve accomplished on your house bravo 👏🏾 well done 👍🏾

25 degrees and a soft breeze 😊

Your community around you is amazing. Helping each other moving forward. It’s lovely seeing the new life, spring is a beautiful time of year Lovely that your seedlings are sprouting. I hope you get your damp sorted, mould is bad for your health. Everything you’re doing is moving towards making your life easier 👌

So happy to spend a bit of my morning with you. When you cut a tree down either for maintenance and safety or for firewood, do you plant another to future proof your tree stock. Greetings from 🇬🇧🐈🙏🌻

I don't think I have ever seen cardboard put on top of the planted potatoes-----but, what the heck! I guess I'm not too old to learn a German trick or two, eh? Great work with great friends is always a pleasure to watch and the outcome seems to keep you grinning. Thanks, Maya!

☕️ for Ms Feliz! 😊Bom dia

I cannot stop watching!!

Ich liebe deine Videos und freue mich immer auf Sonntags. Dir weiterhin viel Erfolg!

Mold: “Pour enough undiluted white vinegar into the empty spray bottle to cover the area of mold growth. Spray the mold directly, fully saturating it with the vinegar, and allow the vinegar to sit for at least an hour. Don't be tempted to scrub or rinse; the mold needs time to completely absorb the vinegar.”

Bravo Maya ! Keep going forward, you're doing à fantastic job😊

Wood dust is superb for the trees and garden

Your video’s are so joyful and inspiring. Thank you Maya ! 💕🌷🙏

Try spraying Clorox bleach or whatever brand of bleach on your mold. I got rid of mine that way. Also, helps if you put a primer on it after the bleach dries, then repaint the area.you have a beautiful place!

So good to see you having so much strength and motivation. Keep up your motivation for the last and best part of your achievements.

Spectacular and talented Maya

You have such a contagious personality. Really enjoyed seeing you put things together.

Awesome work, Go Girl, it’s great to see women learning about construction, building & kick’n ass Cheers

Mine is 75 to 80 with sunglasses for the sunshine, a highball of pineapple and grey goose and a cool breeze off the water to enjoy and appreciate being alive🌹

Wow.. Cantik Sekali.😊

Oi Maya bom dia! Olhe cuidado para não retirar árvores que seguram a encosta..o barranco..se retirar muito a terra vai ceder... .acho magnífico seu trabalho.

It’s great to have friends who are willing to help you out. So much work to do now that spring has arrived and the weather is a bit better. Good luck for all the jobs you have planned for the new season Maya xx😊😊

Good job planting the potatoes. Planting them in the soil where nothing has been planted before will result in a good crop and covering them the way you have will protect them if it turns cold. You probably won`t have to earth them up either (cover the new growth with earth).

Hi from California what a warrior you are!

Maya, vinegar is what we use to kill the mould and the mould spores then bleach to discolour the mould. Bleach does not kill mould it just whitens it.

Super Projekt 🤘

Try a slingshot, using a nut with string tied to it through the front of the sling and then tie the rope to that after you’ve sent it over the branch etc..

Now that Project Kamp is on hiatus, I am glad I can get my mimosa clearing content here.

use white vinegar solution should neutralise the mold

Maya there is only one way to describe you. BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY WAY

Wow look how long and how green the grass is now after so much rain and now the sun x

I love what you are doing. You are getting good at the power tools too!

I'm in Sydney Australia and I like 25°

Loving your videos. My Sunday afternoon special in India

Kudos 👍🏾 gr8 job Ms M, 👏🏽 💓🤙🏾👌🏾

Love your channel that I have recently found and admire the way you get stuck in, great vlogs. Well done.

Definitely Spring 😊 well done Maya 😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

Inspiration for sure. Stay happy!

It's always lovely to see you working on your property, Maya. I love your persistence, your creativity, and always look forward to seeing what you are going to create next. And I love to watch your happy dance! ❤

Awesome Job Mya. Let us know when the AirBnB's are ready 😊

Thank you for your videos my husband and I are also working on our beautiful land and we love watching your various challengers, ideas, your smile and positive outlook also helps us going too as sometimes we all have had days. Love from Wales x

I just found and subscribed to your channel and now I'm going to start from the beginning and binge watch them all.

Ciao cara, sto guardando i tuoi video da questa mattina e credo che tu sia una forza della natura. Sei davvero incredibile. Se posso darti un consiglio che sei liberissima non accettare, è di tagliare le patate e non di piantarle intere, perché possono dare molte più piante e ogni pianta, farà tante patate.

Maya just come across your renovation. I say - WOW . Can i Make a suggestion,Build a mesh barrier around the vegetable garden (similar to the barrier around the trees you made,) that will protect the vegetable garden. A barrier is high enough, and especially at the bottom of it, line it with cement that will not allow the digging of the animals that want to enter the garden. I have no idea what animals are around you jackal, fox, pig, wolf, ..

Your property is looking better now and planting potatoes is going to be fun. Looking forward to seeing more of your garden and flowers 🌺

Hail from the cactus and sand state of Arizona, USA! Might I mention a medic alert system? It is a bracelet on your wrist with push button to alert emergency service in case of fall or other problem. Good when u live alone.

Thank you for your wonderful videos, they help me stay optimistic and positive, lift up my mood :)

10 degrees and sunny is my favorite spring weather

Yay another video!! 😄 Love from America 🇺🇸

about 22 degrees celsius and sunshine. 2o is still a little cold. Amazing how industrious you are. Enjoying the videos

Never a quiet day for you Maya,it will all be worth the hard work. 💚

Keep going Maya, amazing as always x

My favorite kind of day is warm, partly cloudy and breezy. Today is on of this days. 😍🐸

For your front door, perhaps (when u get the time), a little roof to protect the door area.

The same! I like it around 20 bc you can still do stuff but in a tshirt. Thanks for these videos it made me realise that if you just keep at it you can keep your spirits high and keep away depression with it. Thank you honestly from the bottom of my heart. You truly helped me today. And other days as well just haven't commented yet. Please if you could share how you keep yourself like this that would be a great video for many of us. What you eat what you do to keep your body happy what you do to keep your soul happy. It would be a great help for i think a lot of us. You dont need to get too personal if you dont want to but it would really help. Thank you. Bless you Maya. One who sees behind the veil. ❤❤❤

i`m so in love with view and i`m so ready to the next ones😍

Great Video Maya and how you are living the Life !! Eucalyptus trees did you know that they rely on fire to survive and reproduce and you have plenty surrounding you great work you and your friends have done, be safe and take care out there.❤❤❤

For the furture you can cut the potatos into multiple pieces as long as there is at least on sprout on it, my family usually halves them to double the amount

You can cut sprouting/seed potatoes in half with a shoot/eye on each half, and that way you can plant twice as many!

you are terrific! blessings from Florida!

What a pleasure to watch this young lady working like this great having friends and neighbors to help never needed a wood heater we are in NORTH QUEENSLAND Australia we don't have a winter. Best of luck with your nex job,😊

No bad weather, only bad clothing. Love your show out here on the West Coast of B.C.

All your hard work is admired 👍🥰 I wish I had your stamina... Beautiful lush green and river is amazing! You got it! My favorite temperature is 73 °F . Lovely weather to be working outdoors 👍

What I love most about your property is you !

Yes, 20 Grad and sunshine is perfect ! Hallo aus Texas.
