Melissa K. Norris - Modern Homesteading

Күн бұрын

Join me for this podcast series on Homesteading 101: Back to the Basics. We know countless people are joining this homesteading movement, and I would like to hold the door open and welcome you in.
In this series, we’ll be discussing the five pillars of homesteading: gardening, livestock, homestead cooking, preserving and herbal medicine.
Though this series won't be a comprehensive step-by-step on how to start a homestead, it should help answer some of those basic questions many people have when venturing into a new aspect of homesteading.

Thanks Melissa for addressing this. The last several years has promoted an onslaught of you tubers creating content that some folks follow and they just promote "fads". The you tuber doesn't address the true basics for knowledge sake and continuing education for folks to understand the "why" behind gardening, livestock, etc. This is so essential. If you can include the topic of learning ones soil type and how it affects one's decision to do inground vs raised bed vs container planting. It's just as important as hardiness zones. Love your content! Been a fan for many years! ❤

The best short admonition on rebuking I've ever seen is "Reproving betimes with sharpness, when moved upon by the Holy Ghost; and then showing forth afterwards an increase of love toward him whom thou hast reproved, lest he esteem thee to be his enemy"

I would like if you deep dive into each topic! Thanks for the weekly verse, it was just what I needed to hear.

Things that you need to consider in the house. For example pantry space, spacing between shelves for canning and suggestions if you cannot add on. Also how to store bulk foods in five gallon buckets.

Love your idea we need this kind of info out there. If you would add the cost factor of different approaches that might help people decide which project they can do first and save for number two and so on.

I am really looking forward to this series! I bought my house and acerage almost 3 years ago with the intention of homesteading, however I've been hesitant to do certain things because I'm not sure where to start. In the gardening section could you possibly include orchard planting/care as well. I unfortunately have not been successful in keeping fruit trees alive 😔. Also your livestock section of the series I would love multiple episodes that really deep dive into topics. Looking forward to this series and can't wait!!

Could you talk about sheep?! Or have a guest come and talk about sheep? When to shear, trim hooves, feed needs, etc.

Hey there ❤ I really really enjoy your homestead content. I hope this is seen as helpful because I really do mean it that way: this was almost 20 minutes that could have been said as “Guys I love our community where we build each other up and share our journey from start to finish! But trust me, learn from my years of experience (aka many mistakes), there is a good better and best and straight up wrong way to do things but there are so many ways your personal situation will impact that course of action. You have to consider your budget, your land, your mobility, your time, climate. So much! So we are doing a refresher course and getting back to basics! Now for our verse of the day….” And you could go straight into your first lesson on back to basics or you could just make it a short to promote the series. And that doesn’t mean you can’t provide a life update but that part you shared briefly and sincerely and we are so glad you and your husband are doing much better! Thank you for the work you are doing on this series. I think it will be especially beneficial.

I don't have livestock yet so deep dive would be nice so as to have a good foundation to start with. Thank you and glad you are all doing better.

I’m looking forward to this series. I don’t have my small farm yet, but one day will. Any knowledge wisdom about all topics will be very helpful. I am interested in how to know what property we should be looking for. I’m hoping to have a large garden to feed our family of 6 year round, high tunnel, laying hens, meat chickens, meat rabbits, and large pond and year round stream. Any advice would be appreciated. Glad you and your family are doing better.

I am excited about the new series! I would like to hear about raising cattle, I have 2 beef heifers we are about to AI and 1 Jersey Heifer. We have been preparing all last year to plant a hay/alfalfa mix on the back part of our pasture and do chemical free! I am wondering about your input about vaccinations and how to set up parcels in the pasture. Actually anything at all pertaining to the cattle you can think of lol! Thank you for all you do!

@christinejohnson7114 5 ай бұрын

I would love to see the topics covered include differences in the climate where you are located. Specifically, I have not been able to find advice on deep bedding for cows on a small scale when they need to be housed for 6 months of the year.

I search and watch a lot of homesteading channels in my own personal preparation for the homestead I'm planning on retiring to, hopefully this year. Way more often than not, when someone is talking up the self-sufficient homesteading lifestyle, they seem to nearly always include trips to the feed store or other similar supply stores. I intend real self-sufficiency. Monthly trips to the feed store for chicken or rabbit feed just don't fit in my definition of self-sufficiency. Our forefathers didn't think so either. Since our forefathers succeeded in their lives without the convenience of someone else making their animal feed, I know I can do it too. However, finding anyone who actually does that on youtube that I can glean knowledge from seems an impossible quest. I would greatly appreciate anything you could put together regarding keeping livestock of any sort without resorting to reliance on outside feed. My search for such information isn't simply a nostalgic desire. I'm convinced such knowledge will be necessary for survival in the not-too-distant future. I honestly do not believe there will BE any feed stores available and my animals will be dependent on me alone to provide for them. I pity the animals owned by those who are unable to do so.

Are there any vegetarian homesteaders? I had a stroke last year and am now plant based and want to learn about cooking from scratch. Even if I am total sourdough failure, decided to use yeast instead of staying frustrated😊. Love watching your content

I would love to learn more about herbs! This year I want to start a small apothecary to just cover basic colds/flus/ and pain management for different things. I would really love to phase out the pharmaceuticals this year. But we also don’t have the money to invest in a course right now which makes finding information challenging because it seems like people always talk about what the herbs do, but in order to find out how to use them, you have to pay for the info. Which I understand not everything can be free, it’s just a bit defeating when you don’t have the money to pay for it 😞

22:39 - 22:45 Ah! That stretches far beyond Christianity! Some people say, "I won't watch mainstream news! it's all Fake! I watch the alternative news channels." I read that as "I watch the channels that will say what I like to hear or already believe!"

@hellkittyninja7237 5 ай бұрын

Oh hun bless your heart. When people say they don't watch mainstream media, it doesn't mean they're going from one propaganda pushing fake news site to another. It usually means they actually looked around for news sites that provide their references from nonpartisan sources, and/or do their own research instead of just believing every single thing msnbc or cnn tells them to. Like how Mika Brzezinski, msnbc news anchor, said when talking about controlling what people think, "It's OUR JOB". People who just believe anything the TV tells them are the problem.

I'm not a fan of taking advice from other gardeners as the end all and be all method. Neither doing something just because one's favorite youtuber does it. KZfaqr advice should be taken as ideas to be experiment with. It may make building a garden take longer but one will have a garden customized to ones personal preference and environmental conditions. It's difficult: I don't like it when a KZfaq title is "All you need to know ...." or "Complete masterclass on..." Etc. But I wonder if I'm abnormal and that is attractive to most people?

@hellkittyninja7237 5 ай бұрын

Those are clickbait titles. I agree with you. I've been doing a ton of research on gardening instead of just going off of what each of the gardening channels I follow says.
