I love your choice of music. 👍🎶🎵

Can you neutralize that area of sprayed stuff with APPLE CIDER VINEGAR DRENCHING??. ALSO the ashes are great for the ground and future plantings.

Sorry to hear you have lost followers 😢 You make interesting content!

Hi Sean!

Those of us that have been here from the beginning will always be here. I enjoy your channel!

Came on to write this comment and see that I am not subscribed, which I had been, so wonder if there was something else that unsubscribed people? I love watching the homesteading families as I do enjoy the daily routine that they portray, the daily chores. When you spoke about having to create excitement, maybe your niche will be a peaceful place and a thoughtful place for people to visit.

Re viewership decline and your new-found freedom... As a viewer (ie, not a creator), I tend to get turned off when the folks I watch seem to stop being themselves and start trying to, for lack of a better term, climb the YT ladder to success. Yes, I get that a lot of people have quit their jobs to become full-time YT'ers and that's a lot of pressure, but they reached that point by being a certain way, and now they're different. It's usually subtle, small things here and there, but from my POV they're getting and using bad advice. It's like someone told them "focus groups say that when you do this, it goes over well" and then they make a point of always doing that thing and it becomes obviously fake. And insulting, tbh. Not saying you do that, but the other part of that ladder-climbing can be a sense of desperation, and I was kinda getting that vibe from you. Instead of just doing your own thing, it seemed like you were scrambling around, trying to cater to all the different things you think people want to see....throw it at the wall and see what sticks. I'm betting most of us watch your channel because we find the homesteading life interesting, attractive, maybe mysterious, etc. I'm a starting homesteader and I like to see what different folks do with what they have in their different situations. The mundane stuff really is best because that's the nuts and bolts of homestead living, and when stuff happens - as stuff will do - it's helpful to see all the different ways it's handled by different people. Just show us what's going on, what you have to deal with, how you deal with things. You got your existing viewers by being yourself, not by scrambling around trying to cater/pander to them. Just my $0.02

You do look sleepy at the start of the video, Sean. 😂

Good video. I love watching you and Nate working together. 😊

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TOO!!❤❤❤

Sean, l absolutely love your intelligence & verbiage. I'll watch yours all day long as opposed to (well you know) Keep up the great work. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 ❤️ Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 ☦️ 💙 ❤️

It's summer and a busy time. I enjoy your content. Would love to see more gardening, and the work with me videos. Keep at it!

Great idea planting sunflowers 🌻 💛

I feel like I have a joyful responsibility to watch…I live on the edge of Michigan in Ontario. I grew up on a homestead. I live vicariously through your adventures. And glimpses of your cute lil Henry keep me coming back. 💕🙏🏻😊🇨🇦

Enjoyed the video! I'm still here. 💜

I enjoy your channel.

Sometimes you just gotta go scorched earth! That spot looks so much better than it did. Good work.

I feel it’s KZbin not you or your content. I always watch you and Nate and Katie’s videos as soon as they come out. Keep up the great work. At your own pace . ❤

I have been seeing too many KZbinrs buying too many animals and trying to many things. They seem to be getting burned out and not happy. Just do your own things. 😊

Probably should rake up the sticks before tilling. Just stating the obvious.

I like the sunflower idea. Actually, if it were me, I would devote that little area to something perennial and decorative. And move the compost heap closer to the garden.

Hey y'all, I think that all you need to do is sometimes just put the camera on a tripod and go to a garden bed with A) your wife B) you son with little shovels ect poking holes, C) your dad on bigger builds or maybe nana Jana in the garden with no sounds just activity with voice over or printed captions injected here and there. I do agree the addition of the other folks here and there adds a great touch. Editing is not always all that. Do them when you can. Anyway I am praying for y'all, your family and farm! Steven

Could be that you need to target the youtube algorithms. Fewer, longer videos, more, shorter videos, etc. Maybe talk to some of the other folks with channels who've been doing it longer for some tips?

Insecticide does break down eventually on its own. By next year after a few rains it will probably be safe for eatables . Mushrooms are also used for soil remediation and since you are planning an orchard it may be a good idea to introduce some fungal culture such as wine-cap or an oyster variety suited for your climate .

I'm still here! Stay your course, and HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

I can’t imagine why your viewership is going down … I look forward to each video that you post - love your content and watching you make your homestead work for you!

Sean, you have got to check out Jarhead Farm. He only uses hay for his garden. Leaving the hay does many good things for your soil. Please take a few minutes and check out his videos, you will not regret it. Your dad and Nana may enjoy them too. Short and sweet videos.

🇦🇺Jess from Roots and Refuge farm used sunflower to help restore contaminated soil in her high tunnel last year.

🇦🇺 Rake the burnt wood and vines and add it to the compost pile. Put the compost pile in the chicken run, they will make short work of it.

Happy Father's day Sean. Algorithms are not your subscribers. I've been watching since the beginning, and will continue. You're all living my dream-the family compound. I'm a country dweller at heart, in a little city! Have to make the best of things though, slowly. Have a blessed day ❤❤❤

All things take time.

I just adore your channel. I'm shocked that it has not grown much more quickly. I think I've been here from the start. Anyway I wish each of you and yours the very best, sincerely.

Happy Father’s Day Yoedads! What a difference, looks so much better. Flannel Farm got a big bag of sunflower seeds from Walmart (bird seed) worked great and cheaper than some other alternative sources.

😂How to blunt your chainsaw : sawing in SAND AND DIRT😮

The green makes the kitchen countertops just pop! I love it! 🥰

small is beautiful.

KZbin unsubscribed me! But I subscribed again and so far they've left it alone.

It may not be sexy, but I like the way you keep it real.

You remind me of Jimmy Stewart… Aww, Shucks… Ramble on Yeoman.

Yes you that home grown beautiful soil. "Black gold. Tennesse tea." To paraphrase. I do have a question thought. You mentioned industrial waste under that patch. What kind do you mean and how did you find out?

You say you good and happy where your at in life at this time. BUT your voice and actions tell another story to those of us who's been watching y'all's channel for a long time. Just remember you got a lot of us out here praying for y'all. I know for a FACT that when we put ALL our cares into GOD'S hands and leave them there that when the darkness is about to overtake us, WOW GOD shows up with just what we need. We serve a on time GOD. GOD seems to always wait until the last moment to do a miracle in our lives that way we and others know that ONLY GOD could have worked it all out... ALSO my grandmother always told me that when it seems that GOD hasn't answered our prayers, no fret sometimes GOD'S answer is NO! GOD'S our father and HE knows what's best for us in the long haul... Much love and prayers, y'all be blessed in Jesus name... BBE..

Sean's going scorched earth! It seems like several channels are having issues with people unsubscribing and many people have stated that it's KZbin unsubscribing them. I'm glad you don't feel pressured to succumb to what you think viewers want to see. It feels like a trap that some content creators get sucked into. Your motto is "Slowly, Slowly" for a REASON.

Burning stuff is a soul soother. Lol. Primal. I have watched Pete, over at Just A Few Acres Farm, forever. Then he exploded in subscribers. If you aren’t familiar, acquaint yourself. He asks the same questions, has had the same doubts etc. I kind of think of your channel as Pete’s, only from an X’er position- or are you a millennial? Whatever. What is it you want to say, Sean? You will find your groove again when you stop looking so hard. Lol. And somebody, for the love of God, has got to figure out the squash bug problem in our gardens… why not you? 😂

Love watching your channel. Good luck with the sunflowers. I too reccomend Roots and Refuge for a look at what she did for her contaminated soil.

I'm glad you feel free to do things for the benefit of your family and your homestead instead of catering to viewership. I enjoy your content, but your life comes first.

And the gorgeous turkey joins you at the end

Sean, It's not just your channel that's losing subscribers, I follow many many others that have expressed the same thing. But you know, the subscribers that stick around through thick and thin are the ones that will, ultimately keep your channel going. I follow channels that only post videos once a month OR once every other week, cramming bits and peices of what's been going on, in their, lives. You do you Sean, cause I'm here to tell ya, I ain't goin' nowhere, I've been here since your humble beginnings and will stay with you as long as there is breath in my body OR, parish the thought, you decide to throw in the towel. And on my end, I keep things, "Slowly Slowly" Many many Blessings to you and your family, Laurel ❤😁

Happybfather day! I love seeing Henry in the video and how he seems to love helping and being in the garden. He is such a bright boy. I am so happy you are continuing to post. I really enjoy your vlog. You calmness, honesty, uniqueness and so humble keeps me watching as well as the rest of your entire family. I remember watching Billy and he had you on his channel a few years ago and thats how I found you. Keep being you and slowly, slowly. Peace and blessings❤❤

Happy Father’s Day to both you and your father.

I have heard that after growing carrots for three years your land will be toxin free. But I wouldn't eat those carrots.
