We're designed to spend time in nature, growing food and not sitting in front of screens. 💚

I was never a big fan of tomatoes, until I started to grow my own organically. Then I realized it was not the tomatoes that I didn't like, but the way the store bought ones are grown. I love a fresh tomato from the garden, nothing compares. I wish I would've learned canning from my grandmother before she passed. I always pickle my extra peppers and jar them up to put in the pantry.

Funny thing: People with many months+ stockpile of food are called preppers nowadays. Less than 100 years ago, that was the normal way people kept food!

Food shortages are coming. Worst in 75 years. 90% of my customers are growing food indoors to prepare for these shortages. Keep prepping folks! Thanks bub!

I love love love that I have found you! I also have a small city lot and I’m so inspired by you and your beautiful gardens! I love Seeing Stevens large space and the wisdom you both shared helps me greatly. My 17 year old Granddaughter is such a help and is enjoying your videos as well! Thank you! We have been canning together for some time so another generation will learn how to grow and preserve.

Me too... I just picked up a bucket, some leaf mulch and bark that had dropped off a tree from a carpark. I am always on the lookout lol... recycle and reuse. Nature is awesome. 🤗🍁🌿

Doing that in your front garden is great, especially giving your time too as your enthusiasm is so infectious. Keep up the good work. 👍

I love his disapproving vegan "yeah" after he says he's harvesting the pigs 7:47

Hi Spicy moustache! Just came across your channel. I am impressed with what you have done with the space you have. It is beautiful. You mentioned in your video that you wish that you could raise chickens. I raise Coturnix quail in stackable cages. They are small birds that fit into your whole hand & consist of dark meat. Their eggs are tiny & 3 of them match one large chicken egg. I raise these domesticated adorable birds for meat & eggs. These hens have had the ability to go broody & hatch out chicks bred out of them, so I have to hatch out chicks in an egg incubator. They really don't take up much room unlike chickens & they should be contained in cages or a walk in aviary system since they are not the smartest birds & will not survive on their own & predators will get them if not well protected. In case you are interested in checking more about these birds, I will post some KZfaq channels for further exploration as well as the company Hatching Time which sells the type of cage system that I use. I like your accent & can't place what region you're from. Take care. 1. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iphnq8qbmczcfJc.html Coturnix Corner channel 2. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brGmiaeoyrTXf2g.html Living Traditions Homestead 3. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7aIo7iJzaeddZc.html Slightly Rednecked 4. hatchingtime.com/collections/quail-cages Hatching Time company

Thanks for all you do, I so appreciate your effort to encourage people to be more self sufficient

Really glad to have beer introduced to you by my 20 year old Son. 😊. We’ve an empty garden just used for dogs and we are now dividing the garden space in two. I’m really looking forward to getting outside with a plan. The vertical gardening is a must to maximise space as I will only have half. I want to thank you for inspiring us to take charge of our space. ❤

You such an Angel!!! Helping others is the way to go!

Very informative! You are inspiring me to really get going on my projects. Thank you for being such a good people! The world needs more people like both of you!! ❤️

Loved this. Thank you guys 🤗🤗

I'm really glad we live in the middle of nowhere and have the space to do these kind of projects, we have turnt most of our flower beds into produce harvesting areas rather than decorative

Can you imagine the togetherness of family and friends to raise a garden and or animals ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I still got cucumbers pickled from last year, they're in perfect shape (in vinegar), compots and even gem from 3 yrs ago. We got a long cold season so it's traditional to store food. My cellar always has something you can eat right away.

I can't truly "prepare" for a food shortage other than build the knowledge on survival, growing and raising animals. As far as going full on gardening, I just can't go full on on what it needs so my gardens produce but don't pop like if I had time to nurture it. I have tow kids and a mean ex (their mother) that doesn't care whatsoever about fresh food. I still practice, know survival, have some emergency food and have tools, resources and knowledge on making and fixing things. I have land, tools, resources and everything else but time. Thanks for all your great videos then and continuing. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't, and maybe not in the way of shortages but priced out of reach. Keep up th he good work.

Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your knowledge with everyone! I have learned so much from you!

I all so love your no dig gardening video people will get alot out of it❤

Thank you for this video. So much helpful information! ❤

What a team up this is, Awesome stuff guys Keep it up!

I really appreciate this video and both of your inputs. I’m in the process of starting now, growing some food and learning the preservation processes! Great video!

I really appreciate all your vids 🙏💖 I would love to see any vids on preserving & storing food.thank you.🙏

I love your channel now I am all excited for spring

Loved it... very inspirational...thank you ❤, so we justtt moved to an apartment, but, have a garden thats been neglected (30 years?)... so, going to get it going...! ... alot of sitting, and just LOOKING about... what to do 1st... so, i think ive got a BEGINNING of the plan... which is really, the clean up, and seeing what i can use from the mess, and what must go... so, again, thank you! ... loving all your vids... ohh, i made crisps from a load of potato peels... ate every last 1! 👍🤗🙏

Thank you for sharing this information!

Lovely video, looking forward to the summer 👍😁❤️

This video is excellent. Lots to think about!

If that is corn I would recommend a denser planting. Corn is wind pollinated. You will get better results with a denser planting. I think Potatoes would be a better choice for a small plot.

Your video intro is one of the best there is!

Hi. Second year I plant all sorts and storing. Trying buy less and less from shops. I know what I plant and how I grow. :) Allotment plot not big but trying my best.

I like this longer form video with the chat. Thanks!

Awesome video, great tips!!!

Inspired! im gonna do the same front garden

Very informative... thanks from Barbados 🇧🇧

Awesome gentleman, very inspiring!

Just found your message, Thanks for a brilliant learning channel 😊

Don't forget to grow medicinal herbs too. Many of the herbs we use in the kitchen are also great medicinally. Also learn which weeds are edible 😊

I'm learning sooo much! Thank you!

you're such an amazing person

Think about having meat rabbits or quail birds in your tiny urban garden for meat and eggs. They're legal in most major cities, unlike chickens and require minimal space.

That’s facts though home grown just hits different! Organic is definitely better than conventional but home grown in homemade compost planted in the ground is the best.

I love your videos!

underrated video

Many people don’t realize that produce bought in grocery stores, have declined in nutrients over the decades, due to mass production of food , versus much more nutritious organic backyard farms.

Good morning from California! You said unfortunately you have no animals due to space have you looked into fish farming in small areas? You can grow a good amount of fish in a 55 gallon drum. The water can also be used to add beneficial nutrients to your plants.

Which soil do you use? I have a garden but I don't have too much growing. I am impressed with your garden I want to grow more.

Hi Alessandro, I love your channel, and your grow food tato. You have inspired me to grow food on my microscopic balcony. But I have a question, since tomatos are nightshade plants and plant and root are toxic. Can I plant leafy greens under the tomatos in separate compartments, so they do not share soil. ?

Anasazi beans were found in the southwest U.S that were still viable as at least seed that were several hundred years old.

Thanks

We shoud learn more about storage and preserve food.

I have a passive dehydrator that uses sunshine

I'm loving your videos, Alexandru! You should connect with and interview Sean Dembrosky (Edible Acres) and Akiva Silver (Twisted Tree Farm), if you haven't already. Take care! 🤗💛🤗

Steven may I suggest to you to plant goldenrod or other native flowers to attract wasp because they are a predator of those Japanese beetles

Excellent vedeo ever You're so good I gave you a like and subscribe 👌

I would love for you to come to the states and visit my farm!!!

If you are prepared, for you, there is no food shortage. The thing that causes shortages is the humans have become so specialized that they only do one thing and depend on a long supply chain to provide all their needs.

Super

I love you ❤ even though sometimes I don't know what's going on. Your videos are awesome but they often lack details and I can't understand the rules ❤

Its the Ali G of gardening 😎

With everything happening today, this video has this ominous stink behind it. Thank you for your videos and I owe you sub by now!

Oh boy, in an emergency, I sure would love to have you around me. For desert, I'm on the flowers on your skin😉 🌶🌹

What a brilliant video, packed with useful ideas. I had to watch it in parts though because the background music was distracting. Please lose the background music!

❤

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

They are paying farmers in the UK to retire and give up the land. They are also paying others to not grow food, but trees instead! Food shortages are coming, so grow what you can.

I cannot find the hard cover book anywhere. There is an e-book. Can someone please direct me to any other source that Amazon?

Ace!

Looking forward to harvesting a pig. I'm guessing the pig is less excited. That would definitely be the major reason I'm a vegetarian. I worked for 30 years in the veterinary field caring for animals. I just can't eat them.

Just remembered a question for you. I have a raised bed, it's only in sunlight for part of the day so I put in lettuces and onions. The onions are doing great, I've tried the lettuces twice but they've been totally wiped out by slugs. Any ideas? Thank you.

Get some coturnix quail man.

🙏♥️🙏

Looking at the intro I can see you have just 3 sweet corn plants there, did you get cobs from them? I’ve always grown them in blocks (like all the books, experts, tradition dictates!) and I’ve recently watched a video from someone else who grew them, successfully, in a line, so interested to find out how others have got on with breaking the rules

I started growing my own vegetable garden in pots this year I’m doing that and I’ve took over my mums garden for more room I started cause of the great reset the new world order

Harvesting pigs... As if they aren't sentient..just a commodity... 😔

There's something sickening about seeing someone excited about "harvesting" a living being... I'm so glad I became Vegan. What was I thinking before that!?

Do you expect food shortages in the near future @spicy moustache ?

I love the video. But talking about a sweet loving animal has a harvest does not resonate with me and the least.

You could have quail in your small space :)

As far as I know , pigs aren’t harvested, they are killed

Can't even watch after the pig comments....

Gross about calling killing a pig harvesting

Sorry but animals are not harvested, they are slaughtered and it's not "fun stuff".

I just wished that you guys just stay with the vegetables and not go into animals....the way, Steven said the pigs are close to harvest is so 😢 sad.....pigs are as smart as dogs and you compare them to your vegetables..😢😢😢..i respect, Gaz Oakley who rescued his chickens and only use their poo as manure & gives away thier eggs...

Sad to see the promotion of meat eating. I was drawn to your work because its about a plant based life style. THere is already too much dependence on animal protein in the developed fossil fuel ridden parts of the world like USA & UK.

I watch all of your videos. However, I stopped this one right away by the time your friend said "I'll be HARVESTING my pigs next week". Using the same term as you use when picking up plants to adorable, clever, and senscient beings is too much to me!

‘’Excited’’ about unnecessarily slaughtering a sentient animal, wow, and ref to this murder as ‘’harvesting’’ as if he/she is a plant. I thought this was a Vegan channel, I can’t be supporting animal cruelty, so will unfortunately have to unsubscribe. 🌻✊🏽🌎

I have a question about rain water. If they are poisoning the sky with chemical trails isn’t the water going into our soil? I’m just learning about starting my own food. It’s hard for me because I live in an apartment in NY (Queens) and we have nowhere to start an outdoor garden. And there really is no room inside to grow either 😢. Planning on moving but not soon enough. Have have a few in window at the moment like basil, cilantro, mint and thyme. Because we use that a lot. Thank you for such wonderful informational videos. I follow you here and on Instagram. God bless you 🙏🏼❤️💪🏼🌿🍄🪴

Thank you for the information and for you giving your time to your neighbors and to us. 🫶🏻
