Cheap off grid living YouTube channels are increasing in popularity

[@tjdude8765]

Love watching your content. I have 40 acres as well in your area and plan on a similar setup. It's awesome knowing that someone has gone through and made the mistakes but made it work. The rain water cistern I am absolutely fascinated by. I love the fact that rain water catchment systems are gaining popularity. Keep at it!

[@FrugalOffGrid]

Appreciate your input. Thanks for sharing.

[@kyliewilson2280]

My dream come true I have wanted to live of the grid and self reliant for some time now and am still trying to work towards my goal . You have done an incredible job in getting your weight off and I am sure working alone on your farm would have alot to do with it because of the hard work and upkeep of your gardens also looking after the animals . Well done for the weight loss you have done an amazing job .

[@FrugalOffGrid]

I hope you get there. I've always worked hard, most of my weightloss is due to eating less. Cheers

[@edmonddavis6935]

I have land around the same area and your videos are definitely inspiring to see. Keep up the great work.

[@FrugalOffGrid]

It's awesome to inspire people. Appreciate you stopping by.

Hey John, i’ll say it again, you are doing absolutely amazing👍🏻 our next trip to Arizona, will include a visit👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻😊 Stay healthy and happy 👍🏻👊🏻

My channel has been really active. I've seen channels with 100k that aren't as involved. So I've been happy with the size and growth but it won't hurt to grow a bit more. Ha thanks for the comment.

Moringa grows a tuber and you can dig the tuber up and bring it inside for the winter, got a few on my shelf right now ready to go out in a week or two

[@FrugalOffGrid]

Oh that's great to know.

[@castelsposhcloset7166]

That is a good idea adding cardboard to the compost pile. I currently live in a medium size town and we recycle the cardboard. I will suggest it to my dad who composts and has a large city lot. He loves to garden. I can't wait to see when you eventually get to making your outdoor oven. 😊👍

[@FrugalOffGrid]

Cardboard really is a great source of carbon for compost, that and grass clippings.

Fishin! if you catch even trash fish they're great for soil, animals love to dig them up though. Potatoes and corn use a lot of nutrients, and tomatoes quite a bit too. Lot of smart work and you really got it goin on.

They love that fish. I make organic fertilizer from manure.

You might be interested in Geoff Lawton's 5 pile system for composting with chickens. Gives a huge amount of compost per week. Check out his greening the desert project.

[@FrugalOffGrid]

If I recall his system requires a lot of foliage which I don't currently have. If it's not broken why fix it? This system is working great, the only upgrade will be to replace their feed with feed I grow. Thanks for sharing.

Do you have any plans of expanding/improving on the geothermal greenhouse? I know you have a lot of projects going on that will probably take priority, but with better tools such as the electric jackhammer you were using in a previous video I bet you could really make quick work of the digging compared to when you first started. With a bigger area you could probably grow a ton more food year round without worrying about the winter freeze.

I'll probably be expanding until I die. 😀

[@standunitedorfall1863]

You've done a great job on your place. And well done on your weight loss. The only suggestion I have is to pick up some shade cloth for the animals especially for the summer heat which can kill. The animals are too exposed, and don't have places to get out of the extremes.

[@FrugalOffGrid]

The animals are NOT too exposed. I take exceptionally good care of them. I challenge you to watch more than 30 seconds of a video before judging me. Maybe watch my most recent couple videos. Cheers
