Guildbrook Farm is an off grid, modern homestead located in the foothills of Appalachia. We take you along on our journey to become more self reliant by growing an organic garden, raising heritage breed chickens and pigs, improve our skills in canning and food preservation, building off the grid renewable energy systems, prepping for events such as natural disasters, and learning old time skills. Join us as we build an off-grid cabin and homestead from raw land while remaining debt-free. Follow our successes and failures as we learn to live a more simple, sustainable lifestyle.
Thanks for watching!
Jeremy, Jaime, Marina, and Ilaria ❤️

Hello from Oklahoma. Started this quarantine re-shingling my house & garage, then built a gazebo, then a bridge. As boredom continued started a raised bed garden and built nine raised bed hinged hoop houses, still bored clear cut bamboo along back fence & hand dung and pulled all the bamboo rhizomes. Put up my trail cams and live inside the city and my backyard chain link fence didn't even slow down the critters coming into my new backyard garden. Rabbits, possums, skunks, squirrels in my yard? When Bloomberg said anyone can be a farmer; just dig a hole & toss in a seed, is far from truth.

Ring the tops of the holes with the top couple inches of paper cups. Push them down into the soil, as deep as the seeds. This will prevent the seed from washing out.

Well, gee whiz, Jaime. You did well so far. We can barely grow a stinking tomato this year because we tried starting from seeds, no plants to be had here, and the weather is insane! We're expecting a freezing night two weeks after the last frost date , even! We even put down black plastic in the large garden and have raised beds with amended soil in the other one. Thankfully, at least the squash, potatoes, purple hull peas and the Chinese long beans that a company sent us as a thank you for buying the pea seeds are growing really nicely! We have a few more things like onions and garlic and bell peppers, plus our heirloom crowder peas. We have plans to put in a growing area in the basement next season with grow lights, etc, because, finally, my husband has declared he's cleaning out that no-man's-land subterranean dungeon this summer, once and for all, LOL. ~Cynthia

Thanks you guys. You’re reasonable. Entertaining. And Spunky. Love it. Can’t wait to see you’re dream garden and house finished. My favorite bug deterrent is Netting. Just got mine cheap from Walmart.com but you can get big netting anywhere, and just got copper wire and bent them to the size and shape I wanted and covered them with the netting. Water goes through. It’s worked great for us.

Have you thought of using jiffy pots in the landscape garden spots to keep the seeds in that area instead of washing them under the cloth when it rains? The pots will rot away and become dirt and the seeds can sprout and go through the pots.

In the landscape cloth holes for seeds try using cardboard rolled into a cylinder and place in the hole. It’s biodegradable, adds protection for seeds to keep from being flushed out and will steady and protect the fresh stem in its early growth. I’d only make it an inch or two above the top of the opening.

Well the experiment looks to be working out with just a few bumps. If you plan on seeding more you might want to use toilet paper rolls and put seed in there so they dont float off in heavy rain. Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻

For beets - depends how big you want them Put 3 or 4 seeds in a toilet roll insert with putting soil - once first "true leaves" stick the toilet roll insert into the hole in the landscape fabric (soak em so the cardboard breaks down sooner) - it won't "wash away" when it rains. As they grow they'll push each other apart, take the biggest and the others will grow larger. (see Charles Dowding videos on multi sowing)

@pcollins6256 4 жыл бұрын

Yes I use the toilet paper roll method for all my seeds..I cut slits fold them put soil in, seeds in, and when they are ready for the garden also Im in Florida I start all my seeds on a table in my garden, no greenhouse so there's no hardening off process. I just unfold the bottom and put in the hole, this way I don't have to touch the roots at all...

Sweet Meat sounds good, we plant Seminole, Tan Cheese, and Old Tennessee Vining pumpkins because they require little work and no pesticides. Tagetes Marigolds are great repellent plants and when the Japanese Beetles come in, they'll eat them and make them sick.

For the beets. Try using 3 inch pieces of 2 inch pvc. Until the beet is rooted in place. When we plant Geoducks we use a piece of PVC stuck into the mud and place the geoduck into the center. When the tide comes in and goes out. It helps to keep them in place.

0:40 I like the *ANT & GRASSHOPPER story* 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 Winter comes, and the ant has enough to eat. The grasshopper goes hungry. The moral: if you want to succeed tomorrow, you have to start working today. Those who do not plan for the long term will not succeed in the long term. another version is the *CICADA and ANT* The ant worked all summer to stock up on provisions while the cicada was singing. At the beginning of winter, the cicada asked the ant if she could lend her food. The ant then replied “what did you do this summer”? The cicada answered “I was singing”. The ant then said “Well, now you can dance”! The moral of this tale is simple. I think it means that you must only rely on yourself and not to wait at the last moment to do the important things.

I'm lucky enough to live on the zone 8/9 line so I can grow a lot of different things and can get zone 10 plants and trees in if I put them close to the house. You have a nice garden. My dad was from eastern Kentucky where I spent most of my summers on Unc's farm. My mom's family is from Sicily and grandma grew a killer garden and raised chickens, in the middle of New Orleans.

I am in Florida and I have had a lot of success with a homemade bug spray in and around the house, and especially in my garden. Simple mix of 1 gallon of water, 1 cup of Dawn Dish Soap, and 2oz of Orange Essential Oil. We also spread diatomaceous earth around after the bug spray has dried. I do have to reapply after it rains, but it has really helped with the insects. One note, because of the essential oil in the mix you have to be careful with cats and dogs.

Other than the plants the bugs are snacking on, the garden is looking pretty good. One of the good things about radishes, other than their taste and how quickly they mature is, the radish part can store in the refrigerator for quite a while. And, the greens are very good sauteed in a mix of sesame oil and olive oil, with a little garlic and a light sprinkle of soy sauce if you like Asian flavors.

We do raised-bed hydroponics in 5-gallon buckets using flood and drain system from the fish pond I created with bluegills, we use ladybugs to fight the bugs and aphids. They are a few dollars for a big box of several hundred. I just release some on all the plants and they stick around until all the bugs are eaten, then they will wander off somewhere else for food. I do this once a year and this typically holds off 99% of the bug issues I have... i have to be careful what i spray on the plants, because the water i feed the plants with comes from my man made small in ground pond i created with a pool liner, the poop and such from the fish is what i use to feed the plants.
