It saves me from buying both sugars. I also use molasses in our recipes.

Stick to brown sugar. White sugar has all these chemicals in it, saccharin, sulfur dioxide, methyl and ethyl alcohol, hydrochloric acid, benzene and acetic acid. Do some research everyone.

American brown sugar has nothing to do with real brown sugar

Isnt brown sugar made from sugar cane and white wrom sugar beet ?

what în the 5 minutes crafts idiocy is this?

You buy the sugar and the molasses from the grocery store. Why not just get brown sugar

So you spent money on sugar and molasses to go back in the sugar making process... Yes sounds easier than buying brown sugar. Where do you live? Is brown sugar such expensive?

real brown sugar doesn't have molasses added back in - its just less processed so it already has it.

Where do you get the granulated sugar and molasses tho

oh my goodness I had no idea that is how to make brown sugar lol. I will do this in the future!

You spelled large suburban yard wrong.

💓your garden is beautiful, thank you for sharing :))

Good morning and Asalammualaikum. Wow just wow. I've always thought about having a graden. So i did containers gardening. So so results. But i was so happy.

What critter is living on your head,

You can waterglass your eggs❤

I tried raised beds this year but im switching to inground permaculture methods much less costly and we have a thick amount of leaf mulch in our forest area so ill not be buying compost again. N ill be trying to grow from store bought fruits to have a tropical oasis. Zone 8b

Water in the evening, companion plant n learn the permaculture method

vườn cây rất đẹp, bạn giỏi quá

I want my front yard to look like this, but my wife wants grass instead....

Nice seeds giveaway

This is a great video, lots of info. My only complaint is about your editing not your content… your volume on your audio is so low that the music blasts you out of your chair when turned up enough to hear you talk. But again, love the content ❤

Cant wait to see your new farm! Good luck with the move and many blessings to you!

lol small backyard

Great Efforts!

Love what you're doing here, thanks for sharing your gardening journey and your family's fantastic efforts to be self-sufficient and healther!

I just found your channel with this video popping in my feed. I really enjoyed watching your garden progress. It's dream for me to own a homestead, meanwhile I'm renting and patio gardening. I love kolrahbi!

Your place is not small. Where I live, I could put it three times in your place. That’s small.. you have a huge yard.

“Small city lot”?! In most of the world’s cities that would be considered huge! Not undermining what you’ve achieved which is wonderful, but just to say in most cities people would give their right arm for a quarter of an acre so it can be frustrating to keep hearing how small it is ;)

No need to be over productive and wasteful of resources of which Time being #1! I used to grow a lot of food and I could not give the excess away. I now have a small space, can what I desire and compost the "excess". Don't over plant!

I like this garden

Lets get this garden started! Beautiful soil...........great job

You're lucky you live in a town that let's you have chickens, even if it's only 4. In my town you can't even have 1.

Fabulous.

0:42 is what gardening is all about. Great and inspirational video. Well done.

Add on top of the soil. Don’t dig the he’ll out of it! Keep the microbes in and feed the microbes in the soil …

That’s a huge back garden.

I'm quite impressed with the thumbnails in your channel's videos, they look like something out of a fairy tale. It's great when you have a dreamy small garden. ❤

I take care of a community garden, and the number one priority for a large producing garden is finding sources of organic matter. You need one nitrogen rich component, which can be compost, manure, grass clipping, spent barley from a brewery... Having tried all of those, spent barley is by far the best, and it's free if you have a brewery nearby. Then the most important part, mulch. Again tried them all, and the best is wood chips indeed, of a fine caliber. Not huge trunk wood chips. I put, if I can, 15-20 cm of those on top of the soil. And add 10 cm every year. But I do not want raised beds.They're expensive, they rot, and they drain water too much, because they're higher than the ground. After about 3-4 years of wood chips, you don't need anything else, any compost or manure. There's enough humus in the soil to feed everything. For taste, the issue is often too much nitrogen. With compost and wood chips, you never fertilize. And when people use manure they often put way too much. Americans are also big fans of various fertilizers, like all these type of "meals" like alfalfa meal or fish meal or bone meal... You don't need those in a normal garden... Besides, excess nitrogen is THE classic cause of pests. It weakens the plants, making big leaves with thin membranes, that pests will have an easier time chewing and digesting. Overwatering will also affect taste and attract pests. Another "classic" pest magnet is gardens that transition from the "usual" gardening methods (bare soil, fertilizers) to living soil gardening (such as the back to eden method). Again, you need about 3 years for pests to calm down, to have a balance ecosystem. BUT you should plant stuff to help with that : shrubs, perennials, trees. If you have a garden with ONLY veggies, and lawn or wood chips all around, then that's all there is to eat for pests in your garden. Instead you should have perennial flower beds, fruits trees (both to eat and for the birds), that kind of stuff.

This is smart and thrifty with the chip drop . I built a garden this way a few years ago with 20 yards of mulch but do have spots for vegetables but very low to ground just for order as it is a small garden. The yard long beans are fun and tasty. Nice to know about the amaranth! This freely seeds .

Congratulations! And thank you for the straight -to- it content. I love that you didn't make this video with repetitive rumbling. I'm very encouraged that I can do this along with my mother's experience of gardening.

Hi from Utah! I found that using powered milk really helped the end rot on tomatoes! I blend bananas peels and old bananas with the powdered milk with water to boost the blossoming as well! It works great!

Most inspiring! Kudos! 👏👏👏

2 videos in and you got a new sub here in NJ! Loved watching Hollis and Nancy who were in VA now Florida…… so now I got a new VA homestead family to watch. Happy growing

where are you located?

👍🙏😀

How about for every tree no matter why you had to take it down, You plant 2 saplings in it's place..??????

When those leaves start dropping, well there is free carbon right there which you will need later on. I also suggest that you think about some of the essential tools that will pay for themselves over time , that you will use every season. Like a chainsaw,, a mulcher,, or even a small tractor with more than one attachment. Learn about Huglekultcher so you don't have to pollute the environment by burning old wood, sticks etc etc. You are now the custodian's of 20acres. Your job as a human been is to leave that land better than when you took it over. Everything takes time and planning,. Have fun, and enjoy it all.

Drawing a map of your property , where everything us including mature trees and bushes. This will give you some concept of what you have bought and how you wish to utilize it. The rising and lowering sun direction is a good idea to place on your map, for all seasons. And this way you can change things before putting things in stone as they say. However if this was me I would be looking the place for fruit & nut trees, berry bushes etc etc. They take time to grow and nurture. Not like food for your animals that grows seasonally. These are some of my opinions. Plant / tree protection from those roaming browsers will also help. But remember all animals have to eat, If you could spare some space for the wildlife that are in your area, that wont be a bad thing, as will be wildflowers for the bees that will pollinate your orchard for free..I subscribed.

Nice
