HOMESTEAD SECRET REMEDY

[@jamesboris1233]

I miss you guys and wish you were still on TV. But it's good to see you on KZbin.

[@l5r90]

Better on youtube!!!!....No waiting for publicity,......every 2 min we would get 3 min of publicity!!!>....sooooo annoying!!!>...I love the internet for that!!!!>......pause skip repete......lol.....soooo much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@leticiagaia656]

Se extrañan demasiado. Y no hablo inglés. Están subtitulados los episodios de KZbin?

[@peggyclark8936]

I was sorry to hear that “Alaska, The Last Frontier” is doing re-run’s and no new Episodes due to Otto’s Kilcher’s terrible encounter with a deranged bovine.

[@elguapo42000]

I don't know if it's on purpose or not, but I appreciate the fact that you show a realistic view of your experience on a homestead. I feel like the last frontier show emphasized the ruggedness or drama of a homestead, but you all show a realistic view, with electricity and mobile phones, etc. Makes it much more approachable and entertaining. Thanks!

[@BradleyFertile]

More shows like this please! Thanks so very much for sharing your story with us!

[@ralphwatten2426]

I make Kimche with green cabbage, carrots, green and any color of peppers, daikon radish but I think just about any kind of radishes would do, and onion. I also make whole cabbage kraut for making sarmas. Yes, we have slugs and cabbage moths too. Sprinkling a little all purpose flour seems to keep them back a little.

[@JT-py9lv]

I have a 20 Litre fermentation crock made in Poland. I've been making kraut for about 15 years know. About 3 years ago, I bought a 5 litre crock. I use it to experiment with different vegetable combinations. I ferment almost exclusively for 28 days. Then place the fermented foods in ball jars and refrigerate. It's been super fun.

[@rockkhound943]

Great information. You should make videos

[@LucyValean]

Good to see you Eve ❤

[@Hltnhdmama]

More preservation videos like this please. I love this. I learn so much from videos like this. This is something everyone can do no matter where you live .

[@ruthtaylor405]

The best thing that I found to keep slugs away is to put crushed egg shells around the base of the plant, or coper wire around the area of the plant. It works really well. I haven't had any more problems with slugs anymore.

[@rhondalampe6676]

Hey there Eve, Yep I want to say the same :glad to see y’all! Missing the family on TV. But this will work!! Thanks for sharing . ❤ & Prayers

[@rockkhound943]

Such a multifaceted woman with so much to offer . Its refreshing an encouraging because so many women are nothing similar which is depressing. You're beautiful person inside and out . Thank you for sharing you're knowledge its so cool.

[@davidepool5884]

You do an amazing job providing food for your family through your gardens. People can learn a lot from watching how you prepare different food items. You also provide food for the community through your local food bank. I enjoy watching all of your videos, thank you for bringing us along on all your adventures.

[@wendi2819]

Eve, I could listen to you about your life on a homestead for hours. This took me back 60 years! My grandmother was a wonderful canning, curing, preserving woman. She was born in 1885. Raised her 5 boys on a big farm. They retired to town but she kept living like a pioneering woman. I'd help her making cabbage every fall. She had a crock just like yours. But she had a precious very large flat stone she wrapped in cheese cloth. It fermented on her back porch. I snitched a handful every evening when I left. She told my dad by the time it was ready about a lb.was always gone, with a happy chuckle. She was tickled i loved her delicious kraut at every stage. Thanks for seeing a young woman carrying on the tradition ❤

[@pammaddox4947]

Those Cabbage & Beets are Absolutely Gorgeous on the insides! ❤

[@petehendry4756]

Thanks for bringing us along eve

[@Getawaymoments]

Eve, i could watch a garden walk video every week during season. Really enjoyed this one, especially the garden chat.

[@l5r90]

Hi guy's!!!....Have a good week!!!...Peace and love and popsicles!

[@scottishkat81]

Eve should have her own cooking channel

[@welbygleebertram6651]

I make my sauerkraut in quart mason jars and add one (1) teaspoon salt; it turns out good for me! My mom made it the way you make it!

[@rockkhound943]

Cool I'll try that

[@rebeeccaborne]

🐬🐬 Your purple plants are gorgeous. Thanks, Eve for sharing. 🐬🐬

[@carolinerogers1057]

Always enjoy watching your videos look forward to nxt one

[@RosrShafer]

Thanks Eve, my mom made it all the time. She has been gone a long time, so this was nice remembering her making it

[@carollgelrud9034]

Simplemente amé este vídeo. Me encanta ver cómo Eve trabaja las huertas y transforma la cosecha en productos finales para alimentar a su familia. Eivin es un gran proveedor pero Eve es lo máximo. Quiero, necesito más vídeos de Eve creando y enseñándonos cómo alimenta a todos❤

[@mariposa224JB]

I ordered your cookbook the last time you did a video talking about making a rhubarb crumble for Eivin! I love how the Homer Bookstore wrapped it in local newspaper and sent it! Love watching your family! Thanks for keeping us updated. 😊

[@kilcher_homestead]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@betbaker3479]

​@@kilcher_homestead Yes thank you, I wanted to get one of your cookbooks too, it's good to know where I can get one 😊 also on KZbin there is a lot of ways to get rid of slugs really good info. I just noticed that I can't share a KZbin video on a chat though 😕 or I would have sent you the video that I was watching that work the best and that made more sense. Yes I've been watching you guys for a long time, I'm glad I found you got on KZbin 😊

[@kilcher_homestead]

@@betbaker3479 We know about most of the methods, many have been tried some work well up until the point that it rains. We get so much rain here that most of the various different powders and traps don't work after Alaska's heavy rains. And we also like staying as organic as possible so we don't like some of the more chemical options

[@betbaker3479]

@@kilcher_homestead yeah the ones I saw they used Kiefer yeast that they made breads with and with a cup with like beer they buried the cup in the dirt then when they crawled into it they ended up drowning, then you can put almost little umbrellas over it using like a terracotta pot that's lifted at one end so they can crawl under it. I thought that was really cool. But thank you for replying I appreciate it. 😊 The KZbinrs name is the rusted gardener, hope that would help....

[@lenalyles2712]

Until my husband and I retired and downsized, I had my Grandmother's crock that was big and heavy. It was always used for sauerkraut, and had a wooden lid for it. Can't even begin to count the number of times I helped to make it with her.

[@joshbryant48]

I'm glad to find you guys on here. I liked watching you on Alaska, the last frontier. Also found your dad

[@utahjag]

What an awesome episode! I am going to make some. I love fermented foods, I make sourdough bread and my entire family and my friends ask for it. Anyway, thanks for making an episode like this, really fun and informational. Also, Eve, no need to do the make-up and hair styling or whatever. You are beautiful as you are, we have all seen it on the inferior show you did on Discovery. Can't wait for you guys to get to 100k subscribers! It's coming up! Maybe, in passing, mention that if everyone watching clicked that subscribe button, you'd be there tomorrow!?! Just a thought. Thanks again for an wonderful episode!

[@MyJjbob]

Slugs are always a problem in most climates and there’s many many various solutions to stop them and all depends on the individual views tackling the issue, a very popular one with many gardeners is beer traps. They get a small bucket fill it 1/4-1/3 full with the cheapest supermarket beer available and put the buckets several meters approx 10-15 away from the edge of the garden in the corners ( some put a lid on with a hole in the middle to stop any climbing out or too much rain entering or to keep it pet safe) the slugs love beer more than veg crawl in the bucket get drunk and meet their demise, scoop out the dead slugs every 3-4 days ( keep an old slotted spoon for this call it the garden one) and change the beer once a week eventually you vastly reduce the slug population but also your veg is safe in the meantime

[@viking7560]

This brought back some sweet memories. My mother and great grandmother used to make sauerkraut in crock jars. We weighed it down with plates and quart canning jars filled with water. We covered the top with cheese cloth held in place with a large rubber band. When we were having kraut for meals Mom would send me to the root cellar with a serving bowl and spoon to scoop some out.

[@scoobydooby1471]

Miss you guys and wish you were still on TV. :)

[@jpdunamislodge]

We watched you guys from Texas for at least 7 years prior to us moving up here to Sterling back in 2017. I’d say that we are no longer Chi Cock O’s. Nice to see you on my feed. Otto came across it yesterday on his Chanel

[@pamelahutton3913]

Thank you, Eve, for all your information on sauerkraut. We also love the purple cabbage...yummy! Mom used to make homemade pickles in much the same way. I'm new to your channel. I used to watch Alaska the Last Frontier but I didn't know you had a KZbin channel now!! Yah!!! Lucky me!!!!

[@quarlow1215]

Eve try putting cups of beer in and around your cabbage plants. The slugs are attracted to it and then they drowned in the cup. Just cut the bottom off of pop bottles about 3" tall. Put several out with 1'1/2" of beer. Works wonders.

[@bethgordon1240]

Thanks, Eve! I love to see your part of life on the homestead 😊

[@bobbolieu9013]

That is a lot simpler than I thought it would be. I have experience making wine so the principles are similar which helped me to understand. Great instructions Eve

[@valeaton4538]

That was interesting, it's easier than I thought. Thank you for the video.

[@janette1064]

Eve you’re a legend ❤

[@mneff69]

Have you tried the beer can trap for slugs? Just bend a beer can with some beer in bottom to attract the slugs. Then they go in and get over the fold in the can and can't crawl back out

[@craggles]

Thankyou Eve ..additional of carrots and beets makes it like a kimchi mix..I like beets in my horse radish..I'm glad you enjoy your garden and all your critters..cheers Craig (Australia)

[@kentonessman1222]

Your garden is awesome, I love your morning attitude. Your kids are absolutely beautiful and healthy eating from your garden.

[@amandagebel2528]

I love the sound of cabbage. It just sounds delicious🥰

[@barbarabritten845]

So glad you guys are on KZbin!!! Love watching all your gardening/cooking and outdoor adventures!!!!!

[@Sam-s7y8t]

Hi guys, Sam from Halifax I haven’t really tried sauerkraut but eve to see you make it. I think I’m gonna give it a try again, but the store stuff is probably not as good as your homemade Eiven I said this before to see how good you recovered from the fall, and you have pretty sure few screws and maybe plates but you’re still doing everything and my health isn’t the best. I’ve had three hip replacements with a rare bone disease but Eiven watching you lately has pushed me out of the hole. I was going down in I’m a little older than you, but you have showed me no matter what don’t give up and I can still try to do some of the things that you and your family do I can still try to do even though my children are a little older so thank you. but still you and Eve and your dad and family I believe her very good role models so please take care and be safe

[@robertribbit]

I think I just watched a cooking show. Not in my character usually. You Kilchers quit giving me this wholesome programming. You'll have me watching the cooking network. Love.

[@robertmcelfresh5972]

Beautiful garden, thanks so much for sharing. Really appreciate your channel. 👍

[@lopsidelarry1556]

Have you tried laying down seaweed around the places the slugs seem to favour, I think the salt content in the seaweed may deter them. Plus the weed will rot down and serve as a fertiliser. Hope this helps. Love wacthing how you guys live.

[@garysilver718]

Pretty much the same way I do it. I mix the salt & cabbage in a large stainless steel bowl & pack in my crock in layers.you have great kitchen.

[@normfromhawaii1173]

I got your cookbook and enjoyed the short stories in it too. I definitely want to eat at your house! With Aloha to you and yours...

[@VictoriaOrton]

Eve, you are too funny. I love the weights on the floor and then they go into the food. Fermentation process will kill any bacteria.

[@alanwilliams2452]

Thank you young lady

[@candicemcmath4521]

This was such a good video! I love seeing you cook your recipes. More videos like this, please! I bought your book and can’t wait to try out the sauerkraut. (Also your headband is adorable!)

[@marycountry]

Nice to see you again.

[@robertelliott5644]

Very nice garden. I use to have a slug problems. Now I use crushed egg shells. I spread them throughout my garden . The irregular edges of the egg shells prevent the slugs from getting in. Another great way to get rid of them is to place at ground level beer bottles with some beer left in the bottles. The slugs smell this and will go down into the beer and drown. Soapy water sprayed on the leaves of your veggies will also help deter those bugs who eat them. I hope this will help you as it has done for me.

[@myhomeandgardenchanneldwel7777]

It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey.

[@saraharellano9399]

Eve, copper mesh or copper sheeting works wonders keeping the slugs and snails off the garden. All my raised beds have copper around them and it's a 99% improvement.

[@TyeneTrienen]

No need to apologise, we all have bad days or get out the wrong side of the bed ….lol. Enjoyed you showing us some of your veggie plot and you made me laugh when complaining about your goats not always liking your cabbage.

[@Pam-FL-7]

Love your videos. You have a fantastic garden. Very cool to see the fermenting process.

[@HootMaRoot]

I feel your pain with the slugs, this year has been the coldest and wettest that I can remember and majority of my brasicas have been decimated by slugs. And my first year of not having my own brasicas to eat for the next 8+ months and not looking forward to how much it will cost me having to buy them

[@DandyFlorentine]

Great video. A lot of those presevation techniques have been used for centuries here in the Appalachians in nc as well as everywhere else but its become a dying thing in the new generations. Thanks for keeping it going. Pickled corn on the cob is one of my favorites but it takes up a lot of space. Congratulations kilcher family on living a down to earth life.
