About the African Homestead:
In 2018, my family and I relocated from Liberia's capital city, Monrovia, to the edge of a small village in the interior of the country.
On this channel, we will cover many aspects of homesteading and self-sufficiency / self-reliance. Subjects will be a mix of vlogs and DIY projects, including primitive and modern construction, solar power, micro-hydro power (hopefully), selectively harvesting trees and milling lumber on-site for the construction of our house and other structures, Practicing Farming God's Way, natural farming, permaculture, and organic agriculture that includes kitchen gardens, food forests, composting, and more, all in a tropical environment.
We will also cover multiple types of livestock. Everything from raising chickens, rabbits, goats, pigs, and (maybe) cows, ranging from breeding, to milking, to butchering.
As part of self sufficiency, after growing our own food, we will share how to preserve it, from curing and smoking meats like bacon, to canning and fermenting veggies from the garden. Of course, we will be sharing some of our favorite recipes too!
On many of these endeavors, we will be learning as we go, which means we will make mistakes and have failures, all of which, we will share with you.
Thanks for joining us on the journey!

Nice project. I live in Uganda an African country too. Am planning on setting up an homestead too. Am starting any mommnet now. I can relate to almost all the things you raised. My other big big problem is the tarmintes. Have you had that too? And how have you been handling it? They are terible in my part of Africa. Otherwise thanks and good luck.

Yes, we also have lots of termites. In our case, using cement to “plaster” the inside and outside of the walls help keep them from moving in. We had some in the dirt brick that required treatment after construction. Also, we treated all the wood roof rafters with Carboline.

Very good design elements. How far from the eaves do u plan to put the passionfruit vine?

Great question! I plan on moving the permanent trellis about 3 ft/1m away from the house eves. This will minimize the vines reaching over to the house and growing up the roof or entering the attic space, which is a big problem with the current placement. With that, I plan on raising it about 12-18 inches/30-45 centimeters to prevent that 4 pm sun from directly shining in, while allowing more indirect light. I’ve learned it’s important to severely trim back the vine from the top of the trellis after it completes the fruiting cycle. Otherwise it will develop a thick and impenetrable mat that will prevent fruit from dropping through.
