This video was nothing short of amazing. Your granddad cracked me up 😂 him talking about you not liking eggs, the worm / snake, and then the bird upset with you because you wouldn't get out of its way. Let's NOT forget the Mega trellis ❤. Loved it!!!

[@AraceliTorres-om6lp]

Im totally blown away with all your hard work and knowledge sir!!! I just watched your one year homestead just work and you’re an amazing young man. Not only working on your place but helping out the elders in the family and community…..that’s rare nowadays……. I just subscribed and I wish you all the best you’re a true role model ……

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

Nothing to do but get the stuff done! Lots of folks work hard though, you just have to choose to be poor if you want to help the elders lolz. Inflation is insidious to humanity

[@kimberlyoliver680]

Congrats on the upcoming addition to your farm/homestead 😊

[@TheSoilandGreen]

Boss,great stuff. Tons of ideas for the normal folks.

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

Thank you, I hope some of it will work out well for you!

[@natamick5091]

You can make plant tags out of aluminum soda or beer cans, by cutting off the ends, cut through the rest of the can, flatten, and cut tags to size, then engrave.

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

That’s a good idea, thank you

[@MysticFIREFLY]

I am so thankful to have found your channel. Love how you educate. So great to see groups up garden design and using materials off the land. Thank you so much. Ok. Next time you sharpen your chain saw can you kindly talk us through what you are doing and using to get that sharpening done. I am watching from central Canada and so thankful that you are sharing your skills and lifestyle with us. I will watch you regularly

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

Glad you’re liking everything! Chainsaw sharpening is a skill everyone seems to disagree on lolz. I’d recommend getting a file sized from a repair shop, they’ll probably show their method as well when you’re there

[@gardengatesopen]

I can't believe I warched the whole thing! Loved it too! I remember watching throughout the year, and now seeing it all over again was great! It was a good year. 👍

Hello from GA. I have watched this channel for a year and now Pecan Grove. I watch on my tv do i couldn't comment. I have learned so much from you and Wanda and applied the knowledge to my garden. I would love a vergo bed but my beds and buckets will do. Lol. I am 72 and still working part time to buy what i need. Keep praying, blessing and teaching us. Feeling blessed just to be able to watch and listen to you.. .

[@jmdoty1922]

This video was so enjoyable, Going to have to watch again. I grew up on a farm in SE MO, my dad did everything himself, he planted all kinds of fruit and nut trees, we foraged berries, had a garden, berries & asparagus too. He fixed all his equipment when it needed repairs, he grew up during depression. This video 'took me back' because I remember foraging for dew berries and muskadines. Your puggle is living his best life, what's its name? I love pugs. I had so many favorite parts of the video, but the mega trellis stood out. You are so hard working and full of ingenuity. Also enjoyed the shots from Jess & Miah's farm. It is obvious you are a blessing to many - so hard working and intelligent. Thanks for the vlog.

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

Thank you for the kind words, your grandfather sounds like a man I would've liked to have known. The dog is a puggle, but we also call her puggle, lolz, her real name is Janie

[@evquinn2156]

What a great life you’ve made. Such a great time for you and your wife. Your family must be very proud. Your little puggle dog is a great one.

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

Life is good! Later this year we’ll have a little one to share it with!

Geesh, that was a long one. I couldn't even hazard a guess as to how much editing went into that. It was a fabulous "flick" to watch while gathering my seeds for starting tomorrow. 🥰

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

happy seed starting!

[@lynlyn4539]

You remind me of my step dad. He was a hard worker. Loved to garden. He grew so much , he would feed the neighbors. I have a muscadine vine growing and i seen how you did the trellis. Thanks for the tip. Ive learned so much watching this video. Just found you. So im subscribing so i can learn more. Thank you and God bless!

Your step dad sounds like a good man. I’m glad you enjoy, thank you - I hope you get lots of value :)

[@johnkings2030]

Sir, your channel and content is so awesome. This is so inspiring. Not sure how discovered your podcast but I'm glad I did. Every morning around 3am to 4am I awake to your channel giving me strength to move towards my goals and dream on homestead and permiculture life style for my family and myself as well. Thank you.

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

That’s really good to hear my friend. My best advice I think would be not to burn yourself out. Permaculture is a lesson in low time preference. It takes years to fill a plate when you’re doing things this way. But it will all work out more than you could of ever imagined as soon as you start to feel your efforts are futile! I wouldn’t want it any other way. Best to ya!

[@angiedaoust]

First time here, I love it! You sure have a trusty side Kick who knows all about side by side rides!

[@homeygardener]

Always enjoy. When you were tilling for the potatoes, that was an amazing tool that used your drill. Show us this closer, please.

Here in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada where I am from I don't remember seeing clouds like you guys get. Awesome!!! Take care and stay safe Will.

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

Thank you, but yeah all the clouds seem to accumulate on the southeastern part of the US, so we get a lot of extreme precipitation events We use the worms for vermicompost, a staple in all my compost teas

Great video and educational, Can an old upright freezer be use to start worm compost? So worms that you have in freezer don’t air? I definitely want to try this but don’t want to kill my worms.

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

Sure. The air concern shouldn’t be a big deal as long as you don’t fill it up completely. If you open it during the warm afternoons every now and again they should be fine

[@mariamercado4338]

Hi I'm just starting to watch your channel, I think that it will be a good idea to do like a plataform to keep the shelter above the ground, that wil helps tremendously specially to clean it up and collect the straw, just an idea 💡 have a blessed day is too bad that you are dealing with that problem because overall everything else looks very neat😊

[@emilybh6255]

Do you have any experience with planting field peas and oats as a cover crop? I bought a 5 pound bag from Johnny's a few years ago. I have an area where 9 giant pine trees used to be, where I'd like to suppress weeds and have an alternative to grass. Right now it is wood chips from the pine tree stumps cut down years ago surrounding three big peach trees a few mulberry trees and thornless blackberries in a couple spots next to the peach trees... and some raised beds and there used to be a bunch of poison ivy and virginia creeper, euonymous was pulled out. Will I make a mess if I broadcast seeds here? I'd also like to put them in the raised beds for nitrogen fixing and was thinking of keeping them cut low but not terminating them to have as a permanent mulch around summer crops I'd transplant in in late April. I'm in SC zone 8 in the upstate.

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

I've thrown out cover crops here & there, nothing really stays around for too long except vetch. It really depends on your plans for the area, if you're doing perennials, sure, throw out cover crops the first few years. When succession happens most annuals won't persist for too long anyways, here in the Southeast the land will naturally succeed to forest. I just try to direct what type of forest I want to have

[@emilybh6255]

@@HoneybeeHollowGardens>Thanks for your thoughts. I just have a 1/3 acre subdivision lot which has undergone a lot of changes in the past 10 years or so . I'm just trying to as naturally as possible (with a view to utilizing as many Permaculture methods as possible conducive to this area) to work towards a backyard and partial front yard "food forest". Cover crops are new to me but it seems like they could solve a lot of issues I'm confronted with. I just didn't want them to grow out of control and create more of a problem. >After I wrote my initial comment. I called Johnny's Selected Seeds to ask them what they thought, since I got the seeds from them, and told them my concerns and how I thought I'd deal with them and they gave me the green light to proceed with caution. >Thanks for your inspiring yet relaxing videos and thanks for the occasional subtitle explanations. They seem to come just when they are needed.

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

Cat for mice, my redbone hound actually digs up at least a dozen moles a year, although they're still an issue from time to time. Ants I just live with, they're actually miracle soil structure builders, I'm sure to always have plantain nearby though. Plantain will make the bites go right away.

What does a sugar scrub do after pulling weeds?

[@HoneybeeHollowGardens]

Weeding dried out your hands because you’re touching soil so much. Sugar scrub gets the dirt out of any dry cracks that develop. Lard is best at preventing dry skin at all though
