It won’t be long until new baby will be here, is Buggy excited, I know dad and mom are, especially mom, the last weeks are hard, carrying all the extra weight, I cannot wait to see the new baby, thank you bringing us along on your homesteading journey, and sharing your wonderful family with your KZfaq family!

Love the story of the pry-bar. I know every time you use it, you think of Meg's grandpa.

I love ALL The Hollar Homestead videos!

Love those terraced log beds! They look beautiful there! Meg was right- the bigger logs look better! Looks like a beautiful day! Loved hearing the story about Meg’s grandpa!

That is so great you literally built those garden beds for the cost of your invested labor. Now that-s pretty darn sustainable

I love your idea using the logs as garden supports. It makes to use what have for your organic garden beds. Buggy is definitely going through a growing spurt and will be a great help to Meg once the baby arrives.

At my parents farm there was a huge Boulder right in a major pathway. No one could shift it, till one day I slipped from the Boulder into the conveniently positioned greengage tree and spiked a long graze on my arm. Dad passed me his crowbar, which strongly resembled yours, and they all gathered to watch as I prised that Boulder loose. Dad then passed the crowbar to me when he passed. It’s called Boudicca after the Celtic queen who rode a chariot with a long spear in hand. As my granddaughters middle name is also Boudicca, she will inherit it when I pass. 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏿🤘🏼💋❤️

I love the way you 'terraced' the beds with the logs themselves! I was imagining you digging into the hill, leveling, then adding the logs. This way was so much easier, and more logical! Same end result, less unnecessary work. Clearly it is still possible to teach old dogs like me new tricks! 👍

I love how you use what you already have, instead of spending money where you really don't need to. Reuse, repurpose, recycle!

Buggy is getting soooo big and so is belly baby xxx

The greenhouse log supports look fantastic. I also think permanent raised beds will be easier to grow your veggies. Meg looks great and no doubt is feeling the weight of your newborn. This is the time to give Meg a bit more TLC, she is growing the next generation of Hollars.❤🎉

Ben you have the best ideas and work hard to get them accomplished. You are teaching your children to to the same! Meg, I am praying for you and your baby.

Our Love to you all, and LOT"S of it. So enjoyable to be part of a real family, seeing it all come together. along with notes of interest. Nothing like it.

That was funny when you had to look back at Meg and Buggy to get them to say bye. Loved it.

Buggie is getting so tall! I can’t believe how much she has grown.!! She is such a pretty and sweet little girl.

Thank you for sharing the story of your heirloom pry bar Ben. It was very touching.

That pry bar has a great story. We borrowed my dad's pry bar for at least 10 years before he was like yeah it's yours now. My memory of it was helping my dad dig holes for a fence when I was a kid. Also I love seeing Meg out of that kitchen and soaking up some sunshine! ☀️

OMG!!! Buggie has had a growth spurt! She is so tall and looks like a kiddo instead of a toddler!

Meg is probably the more adorable human being I’ve ever seen.

Love your videos! Buggy will be like her parents. When someone says she can’t do something, she will say Watch Me! God bless!

Love seeing the old ways of "using what you got" and "free". So many homesteads are supporting Lowe's and Home Depot for every out building and project when I am use to those being "off the land" or " salvage". Many a three sided lean-to out of cedar posts from the land, long thin tall saplings for nailers and salvage barn metal. Great for tractor sheds, implement storage, etc. Nothing really needs to be perfect but they are workable at no cost but labor. Yup, chain saw is close enough for this style of building. Leave the tape measure in the shop. Yes, they will rot eventually but when it is free, you can replace it.

I like the rustic look of the logs. Good to use what the tree services have given you along with the chips

The now-famous Hanging Gardens of North Carolina formed by the Wizard Hollar with his Steel Staff.

It’s awesome that you have connections to get all the wood chips and logs sent to you! You built the Terrace was neat! It is beautiful I love it! Enjoyed the story of how you acquired the prybar. Your grandpa was very lucky that it didn’t tear up their RV!

Just wanted to tell you how much you are loved and appreciated. Your family was the first I followed on KZfaq and I have enjoyed watching you all grow up. Thank you for sharing your story with us. God bless you in all your endeavors. Best wishes for a healthy and happy baby!

Going barefooted in warm weather is one of my favorite memories of childhood. I see your children are fond of it too. Not every outdoor activity is safely performed without foot coverings. One of those is digging with shovels to move dirt around or dig a hole, or gutter. Safety is the issue. One misplaced thrust of a shovel can result in an injured foot. Adults don’t go about their work outside in bare feet for that same reason.

Thanks for letting us visit

Ben and Meg I like how you guys work together on the homestead. I fell off my chair when I saw the two boys passing the dirt on the spades! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You know you could cut up some of those oak logs and make Mushroom logs with them. More food for the family!

Adding more garden space is always a good thing for a growing family!! Buggie did a fine job gathering the morning eggs!!! You're such a good helper, Buggie!!! Have a good weekend Hollar family!

Really Really enjoyed seeing how you have taken nothing and making something so productive as I can imagine these beds will be.... Great Job...Great Kids... Great Build...😊

I love the tiered garden with the use of the logs. Using what you have is the part I like the best and the fact it’s different. Good job y’all

Love your videos,your a lovely family,with everyone helping out,can’t wait to see the baby

Great prybar story. Family is everything.

What a great way to create terraces, I love watching you and your boys work and my goodness that tiny girl has grown right before my eyes.

Beautiful, I like seeing the finished section. Love seeing everyone pitching in.😊

YT fed me an old video of yours today, I just watched the one titled “We are so awkward”. I don’t know how often you go back and watch your own videos, but it might be a fun walk down memory lane for you. Ben had short hair, the boys were so small (and wearing shoes, lol), and you hadn’t yet taken to the road. It said it was six years ago, it’s amazing how fast time flies by, and how quickly kids grow. 💙

What!?! I saw you, Meg, holding a shovel, moving dirt. No, no, no. 😂 This is your rest and relax time. ❤🤗I’m a big Meg fan.❤🤗

It took me 1... 2.... 3... to figure out "fivehead." Both the pig and the chicken compost are beyond beyond. Because of Ben, I know more about composting that anyone I have ever met. Thank you for that. Love me some Holler Homestead.

Ben got his tractor back! Yay!

Hey Hollers, the Terrace gardens are gorgeous 🎉. I believe Grandpa loved that you love his granddaughter ❤! JO JO IN VT 💞

I added more raised garden beds. I have the urge to grow more food. Awesome that your adding more garden beds that cost your time. Wishing you an abundant harvest this year. Buggy is getting so big. All of your children have great work ethics, just like their parents. Love your channel.❤❤❤

When last fall’s cold weather pants are now half way to her knees- Buggy has grown a lot! ❤️🙏👏🏻

Great video today! You've inspired me to fix my sloping garden. -Mike

The luffa trellis looks like something from a zombie apocalypse garden!

You should check out the garden beds on Acre Homestead. They have a lot of beds, very nicely put together. I love watching the results of your labor.👍

Nice terraces. I really like the look of that. And, of course, you are right about the logs will last longer than the cut wood. God bless you and all the helpers you have. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing your joy! What a beautiful thing to do. Lifting others gray days! Thanks again

I’m so excited to watch this video tonight as we are creating terraces this weekend with our logs! Thank you for sharing with us!

Great to see Meg resting, and Buggys a big girl now👏👏👏👏

LOVE IT !!! Amazing way to utilize the sloped area. Buggy has had a growth spurt !!!!

You are so like us …. Repurpose/Reuse…especially if it’s something from Mother Nature. I love the look already ‼️ Meg, the time is coming soon👶 You have so many helpers for sure 🤩 You are a blessed family💖💖👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

Hi..... Meg and Ben thanks you for showing your video homestead bye

Love the story about the pry bar. Buggy is such a special little girl💕

Our landlord was in his late 80's when he let us use his long medal rod to pull huge rocks out of our garden area. He used it on the rail road line tracks when he was young. He had it for years. Alot of stories he talked about. Memories from the elders. Blessings

Wow, wonderful terrace beds! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

Buggy does look like she grew a foot taller in a short while. Healthy girl😊

Great use of what your land provides! I usually find things that i need in our old shed and say, "The shed will provide!" 😄

I love the look of the logs raised beds, looks cool!

Buggie is getting so big now! They sure grow quickly!

Ben discard ( firewood ) the Tulip Poplar wood, that will rot the fastest when having ground contact, cause it attracts bugs that starts rot process ! Some old Barns are ( carefully ) built with Poplar wood, cause it gets harder and harder with age, but never use in moisture areas for buildings or walls, Poplar is mostly used structurally for furniture wood ! Just mentioning; Poplar wood makes lots and lots of ash and burns quickly, it should be first big log in fireplace or stove, but no more after that, cause it doesn't last long for heating overnight and requires too much firebox cleanouts, but is the best campfire wood if constantly fed to fire !

Those beds look like a good place for some plants to live. I cant wait to see how Megs herb garden starts to take shape

I like your terraced log garden beds. The story about the pry bar was awesome. That is interesting that there is nicer dirt deeper in the ground. That looks really nice guys! I'm glad you're getting out of the sun. I'm glad you had enough of the two composts to fill the beds. It'll look so nice when you're able to do this all along your garden beds. You've only been there for 5 years and you've done so much! Thanks for this video Hollar family!

You could see megs shoulders get red during the time lapse. Very cool way to make beds.

I can't believe how tall buggy has gotten!

More beds are a plus for a growing family . 😊

Great use of the logs...new beds to grow food and also stop additional erosion of the hillside. They are going to look fantastic when all your plants start producing. Come canning season Meg, I think you may have to hire a mother's helper to baby watch while you can. Y'all have a Blessed day.

Safe delivery Meg ❤❤❤❤❤

Buggie is beginning to look like she's ready to start college & I'm NOT ready!!! 😅

I really love your sweet family! My hubby and I have been following you since BEFORE you kids found your NC homestead property. We have learned a lot about gardening etc. from you. God bless!

Beautiful bed Ben. Love the strength of them…👏👏👏👏🇦🇺

Nothing like a good pry bar! Blessings

Totally love you guys. I can’t wait for Tuesday and Thursday ♥️ I’ve narrowed down my list and kept you guys of coarse, Three Rivers , little mountain ranch and roots and refuge 🥰. I use just the iPhone and it’s SO much faster now 👍. Also got rid of double photos. One or both freed up my phone a LOT. Meg, you look like you’re to that time when it’s like I’M READY … you were quite far in when you guys shared with us though huh… cause when I thought you were looking ready I thought gee wasn’t that long ago you’s told us 😄 then realized you had a nice little belly bump at that announcement ♥️ Little Miss Buggy is gonna be a little mommy ♥️ Can’t wait to meet the baby 🤗. Thinking to send a gift card so you can get what you need or want for the new babe. Never have enough diapers seems to be the case for most, and some ask for the next size up from newborn 🤷‍♀️ So, you’d be in a better place to know WHAT you wanna do ♥️ Need a PO AND a store name? Or maybe just a Visa card - all stores will take those

Way kool idea for the beds. No cost just stuff you had already and some labor!

You guys are such a sweet family! I love watching your day to day. Meg, I'm pretty sure you got another set of twins on the way lol . Many blessings!

💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Wow, really like the look of the log raised bed. What a great idea! Glad you have your tractor back. Have a blessed week, in Jesus name 💕💗💕

Love the garden beds, use it up and wear it out.

I love this family and their videos!!❤❤❤

Yay! Got your tractor back!!

Looks awesome!! Nothing like extra garden space to put a smile on your face!!

Five Head! Made me actually lol.

Yay, you have the tractor back 😃

😳 Holy moly, girl! Twins??! Lol!!

Absolutely loving the new garden beds! Fabulous way to use up those logs!

Yup! you need to really char them to keep them from rotting. All us homesteaders are jealous of all the wood chips and logs.

The new Garden beds look Great.

I like the new garden bed look! They look cool!

Ben looks to have put on some weight... It looks great on you.. And Meg i can totally see the position your little baby is in .... Its getting exciting! ❤ love your channel! I love it so much i put it on in the morning first thing and let it just run through all of your videos and i sit down here and there and watch your videos all day everday...❤

I love the beds!

That's so cool! Use some aloe vera gel a few times on the sun burn and it will sooth it! 3 to 4 times or more it's really helpful for any burns! Blessings!

Looks great! Giving me all kinds of ideas!! Looking gorgeous Meg! 🤰🏼

Good to see your tractor is back.

Wonderful to see the start of your terraces. Looking forward to the planting to begin.

That pile of wood/logs and wood chips get my blood flowing..so jealous..im almost out of my stock pile..9 years I got out of it..nuts really..one or two big jobs and you got wood for a good while... p.s them beds look amazing

Sunburns can severely dehydrated pregnant woman, even a mild burn. My gynecologist literally yelled at me when I went in there sunburned once. So drink drink Meg!!!💕💕

I love the authentic double shoveling technique 🤣

I love it. I have a slope in my backyard. Because I am a visual learner it was hard for me to see how to terrace. Thank you for showing us how you did it. Buggie is so adorable and big now. You look beautiful Meg.

Blessings as always to you and your family🌟

Take a drink every time Ben says log

The oak posts on our horse pasture are over 30 years old and some are still fine, and it's quite wet over winter here. Those beds could last quite a while.
