wool is used to protect lettuce and vegetables from large snails that eat up lettuce and vegetables, they will die if they try to go through the wool. My mother in law uses it in the kitchen garden, works very well

Yes! And it can also be used as a way to keep moisture in certain areas. Really interesting and I’ve seen it on gardening videos too 😊

Your favourite building (with the number 14) is called a stabbur. It was used to store food and is elevated to prevent rodents and animals to access and ruin the food inside. Here they would store all kinds of food, they’d hang curated/salted and dried meat, etc. They’re still very much around, tho probably not used in quite the same way. Many are used for storage or converted to rentals for tourists.

I visited some old places like that in Norway. Really ancient ones. Nice to see them taken care of. I visited most of the Stavekjirke too. I think we saw 19 of them on our drive. So cool.

@TomK58190 9 ай бұрын

The elevated buildings standing on the oddly shaped pillars where used for food/grain storage. The pillars are shaped like that to make it difficult for rodents to get up into the houses. That's also the reason why the stepping stone in front of the entrance isn't placed right up against the house.

@jburnett8152 9 ай бұрын

Amazing they are still standing at all considering the climate. A beautiful country that's for sure.

It's really beautiful there. 1:40 That kale! Curled Scotch and Tuscan, it looks like. Kale is an amazing crop for cold climates. I live in Canada and kale will survive frost and even light snow. I've harvested Scarlet kale from under snow in late November.

About the wool, I found this online: "When tackling soft or boggy areas, sheep’s wool is a natural material which will perform the same function as the geotextile. Particles of aggregate and small pieces of gravel stick in the wool as the water seeps through it and the path will float on top of the marsh or bog".

The red paint on them is what helped preserve them. The old style red barn paint has iron oxide in it which makes it so bugs don't want to eat it. New red paint dont do they same thing. And that's why barns are red 😃

@classifiedinformation6353 9 ай бұрын

Also, Iron oxide, as well as other Iron oxides, are UV resistant. The damaging rays of the sun will slowly destroy organic materials, such as wood. John in Bethel, Missouri.USA

Your favorite building looks like it was a granary. Granaries were often built elevated to avoid the floor and contents getting wet and rotting.

@torgrimandersen4182 8 ай бұрын

It is a food cache. The pillars have a larger diameter at the top to prevent rodents to climb up and enter the building. Also, there is always a gap between the top of the stair or the stepping stone and the door, which also prevents rodents from entering.

Hmm, that might be lime mortar. If it's as old as it looks.

I'm guessing the wool in the garden plot was acting as a mulch to stop the weeds encroaching on the crops. I have ancient viking ancestry along my maternal line.Thanks for the video.
