Info is great but the camera work is lethal.

hello Mike I love your rabbits,do they bite?.

awesome video i don't know why anyone would give it a thumbs down :)

Wow, that's a LOT of stuff he's got growing. How does he keep up with all of it??

I like the chicken :) GOOD JOB

great job. great video

very good set-up

what part of the country do you live in? just wondering what temps you range, thanks great video!

wow, terrific example, God bless you.

I would like doing these kinds of stuff

Very nice, good use of mulching to keep the weeding down and excellent use of useful "weeds". I also like your easy going use of volunteers and self-seeders. Nice companion planting and use of your various micro-climates. Though it wasn't said out right, the multiple reference to the chickens about the property probably means you move them about for chicken scratch self weeding/insect control/fertilizer. It must have been a lot of work to get started but you seemed to have used every trick in the book to make your garden sustainable and less labor intensive. Good job and thanks for sharing.

hello from Greece.Very good your <Self Sufficiency>attempt!

This is great. Eventually I'd like to do the same. Good job!

I really liked your set up specially the cages. Not criticizing, but thought I would mention the chicken wire that you use. Big dogs can easily rip it right off the cage. I seen this happen to a friend. Dead rabbits laying all over the yard because dogs ripped the wire off and got to them in the night. Just thought I might mention it to save you the pain. But, I think your set up is really great. Keep the videos coming.

Very good, great tour in this vid. Great info and ideas. Thankyou.

very nice

You're awesome Mike. Thanks for sharing.

Self Sufficiency

Self Sufficiency

To All: Given Google's takeover of KZbin I've found myself with two accounts which is annoying. I've uploaded the complete "Self Sufficiency" video in one file to my other account for easier viewing. Let me know if you have any problems finding it.

To: Kathie Wade. The reason is that I haven't hied myself back up that way as Life has gotten in the way thus far. There's always hope for this year, though...

My dream is to have a self sufficient farm. I don't think I will ever leave. Thanks for the video

This man has got it right. Great stuff.

Not an animal water of any sort. Your land is beautiful to cultivate fruits and vegetables. Check out Geoff Lawton's clips on permaculture. Peace!

Love your video. Very encouraging. You should be soooo proud. I have a fourth of what you do and have spent countless hours cultivating.

Swiss chard needs akaline soil. Stalk some wild asparagus plants near old farmsteads

Rabbits will fight if put together. You have to keep them seperate or they will end up fighting and hurting/killing each other.

I think a lot of people do not like the killing of animals.

I enjoyed your videos. Why have you not made more since 2009. I'd Like to see the progress you've made, if you are still self-sufficeint farming. Either way, Thank you for sharing...P.S. did you ever find out what that odd feeder chick was in that batch?

Had to make a new account(new user name)I am Mike in the video. Mike the camera man and I are talking of a visit and an update. Thanks for all the great comments. Some commented on that "adorable" son of mine. He is almost as tall as me now. He has made a video of our place it's at kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqS2h5h5jMxraKs called "more from the compound"

Rabbits make great fertilizer for the garden and we eat them. Even if you don't eat rabbits they are worth having for the fertilizer. Unlike chicken poop that is high in nitrogen and will burn plants if it is not aged, rabbit poop can go directly in the garden.

To do as you please don't get into an HOA. I would live with an HOA for anything. I am originally from Arizona, I am new to Pennsylvania so I do not have a good feel of land and price. We continue to look for a smaller house and a bigger property.

Female rabbits are very territorial, they do not like other females in their area. Also you have to put the female in the males cage to breed. If you put the male in her cage she may tear him up including castrating him.

I love this. Where do you live? I didnt think you could grow all of those things in a colder climate

I could be mistaken with a green tumb like this guy they should be taller

2:08 the other things are weed lol

Gorgeous property. Love all the plants you have growing.

I can only imagine those that "dislike" such a video are humorless and/or upset that their negative comments are removed.

Actually humans are very high in protein and vitamins if dressed and prepared correctly. You CAN eat anything, but there are some things that people just don't want to eat. Dogs and humans have too many biological interactions that are detrimental to life for them to be considered as food. Stick to the fast growing and biologically neutral proteins if you want to thrive. Don't eat people and don't eat cats and dogs. Eat insects. they are fast growing and good for the body.

I do not know much about breading, but it is obvious that the chicks are separated to protect them, but why are the female rabbits all separated from one another?

38 people are idgits who dislike this video

You have a nice farm Mike!

Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing :)

YEAH! THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO GOING TO DO IN MY HOME.....STARTING POINT TO MAKE A POULTRY....

I want to eat this man's backyard.

I am looking into purchasing a tract and am also located in PA. Just curious - where about? Not finding much luck with rural plots in my price range - many development/community lots with too many HOA regs!

Aren't pigs, fishes, cows and chickens awesome, too? I don't see any difference. If you eat pigs and it's ok, it should be ok to eat dogs or cats, too.
