[@ravenridgehomestead4596]

I'm moving to my new homestead ... starting from scratch. 12 acres.. mostly pasture and a 2 acre pond

Tip number 15: start a small worm farm. It will improve the quality and production of all your garden.

[@giojared]

This should be tip number 1. Our worm bins are priceless to us!

[@haniyokokura869]

Yesddd anc worms ❤️😍

[@beckijj1]

How do you start?

[@flutey28]

I live in an apartment, almost half our complex will be starting a garden this Spring. We have a great landlord. I've started a compost pile, which my neighbors fully support. This is my learning room while my husband and I save for a house with land

[@christiandavidsonlamore6301]

Hi Mary

[@ardenpeters4386]

We had a 1/4 acre property we filled. Literally. Had food to share! And could have done more!!!

[@trishfitzpatrick2066]

You people are doing it right. Raise your own kids, teach them to take care of themselves and others, explore the land with them. THANK YOU! The world needs more parents like you folks!!

[@toddjones7893]

Art and Bri, I know you are dealing with mold in the house. Check out Barndomiums. Tear down that house completely. Build a huge kitchen, huge storage cellar, several bathrooms, rain storage, and etc. Your channel and market are huge and being the first and your situation they probably will give You a great deal. This also will add value to the homestead if You decide to upgrade.

[@Zinnias2go]

Todd Jones you pay’n? 😂

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Lots more donations needed for that, but it's a hell-of-an-idea.

[@tbrown2302]

Todd Jones did you win the lottery and have money to share 😆

[@denisewilson8367]

They have been working on plans to rebuild, and landscape so it doesn't happen again, Todd Jones. But it takes forever to put things in action. And that was before the covid crap, shut downs, lumber shortage, so its all taking longer than it normally would have.

[@tamiandbarrywatson3806]

We are trying to build a barndominium but the contractors in NC consider that a custom home and quoted me 200 a sq ft. And that doesn’t include the land, water, road. We can’t afford it

[@not2tees]

It's a new style for Art and Bri channel, for new viewers.

[@jonabriggs8829]

[@akindofmagick]

Great video!! Here’s another idea: DEHYDRATE!! Get a (refurbished/if possible) Excalibar nine tray dehydrator. Buy fruit and veggies in season by the case from local farmers. For example, right now tomatoes are $25 - $40 a case. Slice them with an inexpensive mandolin from an Asian grocery store, or Amazon; just be sure to wear a mesh glove to protect your hand! Dehydrate all that wonderful, fresh, in-season produce and put it in Mason jars to eat for the next nine months. We like apples, strawberries, pineapple, bananas, kale, onions, tomatoes, herbs, and so much more! Store on shelves in your basement or pantry. We make Greek yogurt every week in our dehydrator, too!! A truly essential tool that has saved our family thousands of dollars over the last five years: paid for itself many times over.

[@donnasanders6724]

Art I'm handicapped in a wheelchair but I live out on a farm 5 acres for small farm and I really want to pick up something I can do remind you I'm in a wheelchair but I really like the idea of fruit trees

[@gaylef3477]

A narrow raised bed. High enough for you to easily reach and narrow enough so things don't get lost out of reach - maybe access from both sides? Or even 5 gallon buckets!! The dwarf fruit trees would be great.You could likely hook up with a local 4-H or FFA to come out and help get you started.

[@claireisacamel]

If you have a deck you could maybe grow a dwarf fruit tree on the ground next to it. Also, blueberries and a lot of citruses have small varieties that can be grown in 5 gallon buckets

[@DiannaMoon9345]

My grandfather gardened for many years in a wheelchair. Anything is possible.

[@Zinnias2go]

Claire Campbell - Hey Blondie! Great ideas

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Definatly can be done by keeping the trees trimmed short, for easy picking. Anything (including berries & bushes) can be grown in raised beds.

[@WayToVibe]

I was surprised at how good a lot of these suggestions were. Sneaking plants in here and there into a tiny front yard is actually a suggestion I had no seen anywhere else.

[@VannaWhiteboard]

I love you guys. It's been a fun four years and cheers for many more. I am excited about the mushrooms!! Pro Tip to other viewers: When I have too many to eat on time, I avoid letting them get slimy, and let them dry then keep them in a jar. They last a very long time when dry, and you can rehydrate them in water overnight, crumble them and add them to anything for texture, flavor, and health, or marinate them and keep them in the fridge. I have a jar of trumpet mushrooms, shiitake, and a blend of miscellaneous from here and there. When they are dry, I include them in salads by hydrating them in the dressing.

[@denisewilson8367]

Let the experiments begin! I hope you find a recipe that you like fast so you don't waste too much milk. We all have different tastes, so good luck. ps I've tried a few for sour cream but don't like them. S, if you find a good one please pass it on. Oh and a good small curd creamy cottage cheese recipe would also be very welcomed.

I live in the city, very small yard, and have been growing veg and some basil in my front yard and side yard flower beds for several years (with a few flowers interspersed.) Two years ago I decided I need perennial food options. I already had chives and thyme, so I added blackberry vines in the backs of my "flower beds" and a raspberry bush in my side bed. I'm also trying asparagus but it's a pretty small area, and not sure how it will turn out. Anyway, these are really great ideas I'll have to think about.

Excellent video.. your enthusiasm is fantastic and encouraging! Also, save tree leaves in the fall and put them in a compost pile or a corner of your garden. They will break down into wonderful compost.

[@denisewilson8367]

They will break down faster if put in large garbage bags, watered well, pour in a beer & a can of regular coke too. Add a few small breather holes and watch the magic.
