If You Want It, You’ll Get Out and Do It! | Homestead Vlog | October 20, 2023

If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.
Proverbs 13:4 tells us “The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.”

The name of your channel is so appropriate for you sweet people bc you guys absolutely have GRIT!! You do what you gotta do! That’s how it’s done!👍🏼

[@crookedpeach]

Watching Andy cut the old hose on his leg has my mom brain filled with anxiety! Love lovey the goat dog❤❤❤

[@rough-hewnhomestead5737]

Boy, are you guys right!! It's about determination! I joke with my family that "If it can be done, I can do it!".....I am a determined person. I love this lifestyle and I have sweated, frozen, endured pain, busted knuckles, and a lot of other things in order to get a job done, and it's well worth it to me. Netflix doesn't hold a candle to what's outside! God bless!

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

Amen!

[@crystalshell3253]

One of my sayings to my kids and to many of ppl just in conversation is: "Where there's a will, there's a way!" Love watching yall from here in Kentucky.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

absolutely one of our favorite sayings

[@Mel-vu9ss]

Hey guys!! Thanks so much for addressing my question about raised beds!! I appreciate it. ❤ As far as finding time. It’s my opinion you’ll find time for what you want to find time for. Working after work and in the dark. It’s just a sign of good work ethic. My husband has always said. We don’t put the job off. It’s just how we roll around here. I’ve seen him working after work, in the dark, in the rain and bad weather. He’s 67 and still working like that. Such a blessing to me. Again, thanks for this video.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

thank you for watching! we totally agree

[@WhosWhointheZoo123]

My husband is 76 and still working like that too. Yes, there's always time...

What's for supper tonight? As for us it was a good time for homemade beef vegetable soup and corn bread. Finally got some much needed steady rain today and last night.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

I wish we could get some good rain! that particular night we had leftover sausage gravy and biscuits and bacon

[@cordyg4306]

I almost cried when y'all pulled the Zinnias. They was my mom's favorite.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

they were some of my grandmas favorite as well

[@steveg1596]

The only bad idea is the one you don’t try. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. Try something else. Gave me a great idea how to winter over my raised beds! Thanks folks! Love your content!

[@Rich386a]

"make leaky hoses leaky again."...lol. find time, make time, light the whole world up.. id say yall bringin light to the world... 😀

thank you!

Feed corn stalks to your cows and horses lots of protein when I lived in Kansas the farmers would turn their cows out into the corn fields after harvest

[@suegibson8914]

I believe if you want to use corn stalks so they break down it’s a good idea to chop it into small pieces or use a chipper. You might also try running over it with your mower.

[@charlotteevans1957]

Your videos are so informative and your place is beautiful. More than that you two enjoy what you do and it shows. Thank you for sharing.

[@christymartin3846]

Sweet idea, Andy! Last year, I used the bags that I bought my manure, soil, etc., to cover my raised bed and topped with pine needles, which I had plenty of. It worked great 👍🏼 like y’all said, “Use what you got”. Thank you for sharing and for sharing Proverbs 13:4. Y’all have a blessed weekend! I’m heading to deer camp this weekend, to see where the best places are for the doe’s, I decided not to shot last season, to be crossing ❤waiting for the big boys! 🎉

[@homesteadingpastor]

Enjoyed the video guys. Yep if you want something done, you just gotta go at it. 👍🏻👍🏻 We just put down some more cardboard this weekend & mulched our fruit trees. I should have recorded it. Thanks for sharing the link to those hose repair ends. Y’all have been blessed with a nice place. 👍🏻😇❤️🙏🏻🙌🏻👍🏻

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

Thanks! yep definitely not anyone going to do it for ya!

[@pamparrish753]

Put a sign to stop 🛑 at the spicket cut on it will help to remind you

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

we'd forget to look at the sign! hahahaha

[@thomasthibedeau]

Your fall colors are just beautiful.

[@JakeFlash]

I have a cursed hose end. It has a perfectly good end, but the hose clamps from that freight company on the harbor keep letting go just when it's most inconvenient. That corn should work great as mulch. In Tucson, I cut off the leaflets of dried palm fronds just as an experiment on potato hills. It worked great, but for the scorpions that liked to hide in there to consume the crickets that loved to hang out in there.

Thanks guys! Im off tomorrow and youve given me great ideas to put the garden to bed for the winter. Thanks again

[@paccur1252]

Hi there beautiful family

[@patburgard2115]

❤

[@freesianlover]

And besides the food benefit of working in the garden, I think it’s just good for your soul and your mental health if you can make time to get in the garden and outside. Thank you for your videos.

[@JamesJones-rn1bf]

Looks great to me

[@carolynl5362]

Great ideas very encouraging ❤

[@tpaw6908]

Have a great weekend thank for all the useful tips.❤️🙏💯👍

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

you too tpaw!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Great video y'all! Andy I was just thinking. Wrap the barb of that hose end in electrical tape then slide the hose on it. It sure can't hurt and may stop the leak. Great ideas for composting your beds and it's all stuff you have of can get inexpensively. Working by lights reminded me of a time when some friends and I actually sowed several hundred yards of plant beds by the truck lights. Y'all have a good evening!

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

yea i thought about using some Teflon tape

[@crookedpeach]

Also, thank you for the hose repair link, I ordered them immediately!

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

thanks!

Cut up the corn stacks and they will break down faster.

Really have to work on my place this summer

[@rhondahuber6412]

Got my T-shirt!!!! 😎

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

thanks!

[@davidburchfield2720]

Keep a rool of black electric tap when the hose is bigger than the fitting put a few raps around it befor putting the hose back on

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

yea i thought about using some teflon tape

[@nancysalerno7036]

I have taken to using flex seal tape or spray a lot. Hose repair usually about 50/50, they don’t make ‘‘em like they used to.

[@jeannemiller306]

I think it's a great idea

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

thanks

[@helenlazoga1487]

What a fun family you are, bless you. You mentioned " just got off work", what are your jobs ( if I may ask). God bless.

[@katywing2115]

As much nitrogen in that corn I'd run it through the chipper. Knew a farmer that did that to his tobacco stalks.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

we actually used to do it with our tobacco stalks as well way back when we grew tobacco

[@gabestrobehn4698]

Hi

[@paccur1252]

Megan.. can you please just clone Andy and send him over to Australian.. l have so many jobs needing fixing.. and finding someone these days to come out of town to help ot work it getting harder and harder to find..

[@delphine88313]

And thats the truth. I use to get my neighbors teenage sons to help me and pay them.Sadly one is more interested in weed than actually working the other one does work but his schedule is crazy. I got a feeling if I ask him( the weed smoker who doesn't work) it would be sloppy work. Smh

[@christymartin3846]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@delphine88313 sorry to hear that. Oh, Lordy, these kids nowadays! If you’re anything like me, no one is going to be able to do exactly what I want. I always say, “Close enough” for gardening, like horseshoe’s and handgrandes! 😂 Praying for you and for us all!

@@delphine88313 its not just children now on weed.. governments turn people into drug uses... and say its ok... hemp and weed of these days are two different things.. one heals cancer the other gmo governments or hydroponic weed is full of chemicals is brain changing.. plus the addition to addictive pain killers is destroying people.. and boys don't get out and learn these things on fixing things, growing and helping.. parents are to blame because they get children into sport and academics into of nature
