In this video, we're sharing a significant leap in our homesteading journey - the construction of our very first greenhouse on our land! 🌱🏡
Well, it's more like a small poly-tunnel, but hey, it counts!
From planning to completion, we documented every step of this exciting project to bring you along on our adventure towards a more self-sufficient life.
This greenhouse is going to create a year-round growing space that allows us to extend our growing season, increase our food production, and get one step closer to food security. 🌿☀️
And honestly, we’re finally going to propagate A LOT of plants for our food forest!
In this video, you'll see:
• How we chose the perfect location for our greenhouse.
• Step-by-step construction footage, showcasing the challenges we faced and how we overcame them.
• Tips and insights for those of you inspired to start your own greenhouse project.
We hope this video inspires you to take your next step towards self-sufficiency, whether it's building a greenhouse, starting a garden, or planting your first food forest.
Enjoy!

I d like to subscribe but the security system doesn't let me in maybe because I live in Moscow... Anyway- whatever you decide ❤ In the meantime, when the rain came I was getting all excited to see the rain in your on contour water channels. (Missing the words to say it properly). How are these going? And the pound? Love your project ❤

I am working on similar project with a slightly bigger size of 40 hecter land. The project has drained almost all of my savings and in two years I am hardly able to transform 30% of it. However, I have 4000 food trees standing that will start commercial next year onwards. Also growing alot of vegies and expecting at least 2 tons of garlic and another 2 tons of onions. Hopefully that will give some income that will be used to increase the size of cultivatable land. This is a very exepensive project. Good luck to you guys and waiting for more updates.

The water source that you dug might also be an underground stream, don't ignore that. That could source even a huge pond downstream if you supply it. This could help your homestead so much. I think you were lucky to find it accidentally.

@alansomerville4806 3 ай бұрын

Just a thought. Water, is critical. That water may just be runoff from the heavy rain. Or, it may be a small spring. It may not be there in the depth of Summer when you really want it. But, here is the thing. If you dig a hole. Line it with brick to hold the water back, even slightly, then, when you need water, it is already there in your greenhouse. Bury an IBC under it, let it fill the IBC and you can draw water from it when you need it, perhaps even in the dry months. Just a thought. Use what nature provides.

@Ishinaz 3 ай бұрын

If you havent, see the video they've done on the swales, there is one just downhill from the greenhouse. That covers their main ways of using what nature provides.

Welcome back! At first I thought, why would you need a greenhouse in Portugal when it's already so hot and sunny. But I guess you can better grow your own seedlings/saplings? I got a few similar videos in my recommended. A project in Senegal (Trees for the future) looked very professional, engaging local communities. I believe Spain has many projects on water management and planting trees. In India there was a huge project where villages dug ponds and shales to retain water. And recent I watched the start of some mad man's journey to kinda do what you do in the most remote part of Texas (tried to avoid spoilers, but I saw was that he's still working on it). A weird recommendation were some people cutting down trees in Scotland... to help bring back a more diverse and more native ecosystem. I was wondering, would it be fun to do a collab or live stream and talk about the challenges and differences with like-minded channels? Maybe exchange tips? I know the KZfaq algorithm loves that kind of thing, leading to channels getting each other viewers.

@robinklamer1924 3 ай бұрын

If you replant shrubs, try to remove a part of the stems and leaves so the root/shoot ratio remains similar to before you transplanted it. This drastically improves the succes rate of transplanting!

Had begrepen vanuit een bericht uit Hongarije dat huizen die gemaakt zijn van klei, kalk en stro mengsel, zeer fijn wonen is. Jullie hebben genoeg stenen liggen om een houtkachel te maken 😉 Groetjes uit Nederland en bedankt weer voor deze zeer leuke en mooie video ❤

I do not live in Portugal, however, my father always plants things and always uses insect screens to protect the plants. Looking at the structure of your greenhouse, I would recommend installing a plastic mosquito net where you have left spaces for the windows.
