THE REALITY OF OFF THE GRID HOMESTEAD 

I love how you guys always make me laugh! You have the best attitude and vibe. That chair! A cacoon of coziness!

Your garden is looking stunning, love what you've achieved already.👍

I love the sound of the cuckoos in the background. Man that made me laugh when the IBC fell off the back. Them chickens were not waiting around to see where it stopped. Thank you for a great video kids

Spring is here those iris are beautiful glad you replanted

The swing chair looks great. Love your flowers.

Oh my word!!! What a classic video today!!! I had so many good laughs.... Thank you soooooo much!!!

The irises, apple blossom and all the bulbs look beautiful.. you are wonderful caretakers of the land 💜

Hi guys! Glad now you'll have a good water supply year around for the garden and other outdoor cleaning things! Good job! Hilde 😘

Hi! Lovely People. Florida, USA, here. All my life I have seen strawberries grown as follows: mounded hills are dug just like potatoes, then the mounded part is covered by black plastic and tucked under the edges, then holes are made to plant the strawberry plugs. This allows the plants to grow with very little weed infiltration. You can also do drip irrigation before you lay the black plastic. Other benefit is the fruit does not lay in the dirt! Another benefit is the fruit ripening quicker from the heat generated from the black plastic.

Things are looking so healthy and colorful!

Regarding the roof tiles for foot paths. Do you mean, broken tiles? If so, I think you'll find the Romans used to break old plant pots and roof tiles into smaller pieces, and put them into a old wine vat with a handle and turn it with stones in there to round off all the sharpe edges to make foot paths. Id imagine a cement mixer is as good. The Romans called it bink! 😊

Great work you two, your such busy and hard working people. Great to see your progress.

You 2 make me laugh. Everything's growing. so nice to see sun shining and was that a Cukuoo I heard while you were filming i haven't heard one in years. I love how you help your neighbour. Happy you saved Iris's xx

So glad to see you replanted the irises. Wish I was there to take some off your hands!

Loved your beautiful flowers in amongst the beautiful rocks, boulders? It looks lovely you went to fast.

Progressing well 😊 your doggie and kittens are so Lovely 🐶😻 xx

I love the garden ideas. The chicken vids 😂are nice too. Ty😊

Watching your video I was thinking you could use old tiles crushed up for the walkways, then G did just that for walkways! 😃

Awesome progress guys, the gardens are looking lovely around the big boulders 🌸🌼 your cats are hilarious 😅

Great idea to reuse the horning from the caravan as extra protection on the ipc tanks. I agree the tarp won’t last the summer with the strength of the sun where you are. Hopefully the weather will start to settle and you will get a chance to dry the ground out before you put your tomato plants in to the ground. They really don’t like very wet ground. ❤

hi guys,looking good,yes you do need to cover ibc tanks to stop the alge,make sure you put a filter in line so your drippers dont get blocked,dig the trenches as deep as posable,each year you will know what works,good luck and see you in next vid.

In US we call the phone smasher a " Bush Hog " .😁

Nice to hear the Cuckoo, its a rare to hear in the UK nowadays.

Every week is progress.

Love your videos Can't wait to see your kitchen

You got a lot done! I love the egg chair!

Amazing garden and veggie garden

again a nice video, so much work to do, and i love your animal "helpers" they are so sweet and funny.

More chickens!

Your lovely dog loved his ride in the trailer just wants to be with daddy good luck

Queen G King Guffey keep A working hard no excuses ❤😂

I hope you are able to successfully drain the water in the field and store it for watering that same garden later when the hot summer arrives and you need the water. You work very hard and we appreciate your humour and hard work to provide us videos to enjoy! All the Best!

Love the colour of your irises, like the crushed tiles with the strawberry garden a great use for them and a good area done for the ibc water tanks, until next time, have fun and enjoy your friends coming to stay xxx

I was going to suggest raised beds to combat your water problem. The tiles would be great...because there is so many I would suggest putting them vertically so to make use of there height I think you could do all the garden beds with them

Loved your video today, and I admire you both as you always have a good sense of humor. The kitten playing was just precious, and as always Guffy is cute. It was a joy to hear the cuckoo birds in the background, we don’t have them here in our area. The flowers are so beautiful and I always love seeing them have a blessed week looking forward to your next video.

Hey. Love you both. Watch every week👍

Ditch maintenance is so much fun. We do ours In New Mexico in February before wetting by burning the plant residues then dig to depth. There are some formulas for width and depth for area served and number of users. Your majordomo is the best source.

Hi there, with the sun and rain things are looking so lovely and green. I would digging the ditchs out when the water level is down is going be quicker, and your strawberry bed is gorgeous. look forward to next catchup.

Уровень для капельного полива достаточный . Обязательно надо ставить фильтры на выход из баков .

You are my favourite,love to you both ❤️

Thankyou,another enjoyable video.

I suggest you have a pond dug with a spillover in place, which would give you all the water you need to irrigate during the dry periods, and be much better than those tanks by far. Other measures , other than a pond, are just and gimic that dont really solve the full issue.

Great video guys bet you were really sad Andrius that your neighbour wanted you to sit on your tractor and cut the grass for her I mean you really don't like driving it it do you 😂😂 G amazing job on the tile foot path and thank god you replanted the iris plants Liz was going nuts 😂take care guys ❤

Love to you both❤️🌸🌸

Phone smasher love it 😢 great video guys

Love getting the viewers involved. So very blessed!

G. you have green thumbs. All that you plant grows so well on your land.

Good work guys! Just trying to catch up with everyone video's. We have been working hard and I have been going to bed early most nights. 💐

😊

Great work as usual xx

Quite a bit of olive trees.

Should have used the black plastic to plant the strawberries in.Get some u.v.i. mulch plasti, lay it down fasten at both ends and occasjonally between down the sides, Cut holes in the plastic and plant your strawberries in the holes. this will reduce moiture loss, reduce weed growth and triple yoir yield and you should get 3 crops per year. I know as I did it for a profession

RIP 📱 Pinup girl 🐓 😂 I love all the flowers, especially the rock garden 🌼🌸🪻

As always u lovely people 😂 really good video

8:01 🎉

😂😂 funny day 👍 I have a polly tunnel with irrigation system simply battery timer that you can adjust to drip feed plants I can video it and send to you if interested

G - I saw a British gardener user chrome CD discos to hang in the garden to keep the birds away. They might be better than that pillow.

Love to see your pets, so cute enjoy watching your videos!

Guffy is a born hunter, always sniffing, digging and investigating ❤

Thanks for sharing another video. I think that due to the climate change and the type of land there (shallow with a subsoil of bedrock under the top soil) u will have two opposite problemss depending on the seasons; in the hot season u will have dry soil and scarcity of water and in the wet season u will have flooding and saturation of the top soil layer. I don't think it will improve with time. As i believe the dry season will become drier n the wet wetter with the passing of time. U guys need to talk to locals that have similar problem to urs and find out how they solve the issue . A. had a good idea to deepen the bed of the side canal to make the water flow faster and easier. Maybe u should consider to dig some strategically located swells leading excess water to the canal. U will have to use ur wits to observe the layout of the land to see what places work best for a swell so ur excess water flows away. As usual it was nice to watch both of u in ur work and to listen to u guys thinking out loud about the issues u find. Btw Guffy looks so happy roaming around ur land, so do ur kitties following u around.Sorry to hear about the phone accident. May i make a suggestion? Get a transparent plastic pocket to wear ur phone round the neck whilst doing outdoor work. It will protect it from dust and water n u will always know where it is .

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work, guffy liked it on the cart behind the tractor 🚜, when the well dry's up in the summer you could make holding from them.😁

On top the tanks before the plastic 1 would make a cover in wood because the SUN and the FROST will destroy then the Plastic.

Holy cow ...why does your neighbor have so many tiles? I hope she gives you a lot of them in exchange for mowing. It looks like you could put them to use.

Cuckoos and nightingales-i love this time of year in the countryside x love to you both ❤

Good work on the drainage ditches , unfortunately they will have to be cleared regularly, and down to that spring pond ,which will provide great water management opportunities, and maybe ducks or geese

Well done, how I envy your lifestyle.You both work so hard, am looking forward to seeing your finished project.Have a great day.

Has your horseradish established? Watching you replant those gorgeous iris which i struggle to grow made me think of it.

The tanks have enough height for irrigation and don't need to cover the tanks if used for irrigation purposes.

Maybe it will be easier to dig out the channels in the summer, when the soil isn,t so wet 🤔💪😉

❤

Great video full of creative vibes, thanks for the share 😁👌👍💯🤗

Everything is looking so lovely and green! Your strawberry bed is gorgeous. I think I may need a few more please for my little bed as before I got it covered for winter the deer dug up some plants and ate them. Unfortunately tractors are not a fan of phones! So sorry yours got destroyed!

She is a tree climbing water hunter cat love she reacts with closely.

Hello. You must benefit from this grass. Buy some sheep. I recommend that you buy Libyan sheep. It has a good taste and does not have a smell like other sheep

Nice video. O Andrius I was waiting for the first hill for that tank to fall of. I was surprised that you are so calm about the phone. So sorry. G love your spontaneous laughter. Cooking video?

Is there going to be a video from fishing trip? 😅🎣

It would help to take a break.

Hi guys. My comment keeps dissapearing, so I'll try to answer your question, without a link. Do check out Livingseeds farm's video on :"Water Saving ~ How and Why it Works." Sean do give a conversion rate of how many meters elevation gives you how many bar pressure.
