Planning a natural pond with pigs - Enclosure FINALLY finished

[@neutonrenda2303]

Love how Molly and the cat play, she is such a happy dog.❤

[@neutonrenda2303]

Congratulations on getting your fence done, it looks like a mammoth task with the granite, you pressed on.👍

[@loreelattik1]

Congrats on completing the fence. I felt your joy! Enjoyed the brother/sister love between Molly and Timmy.

[@veraoliveira5059]

Great job as always! Please, take care you both.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

We will! Thank you

[@nancyspence2965]

Well done for finishing your knew fence. Hope the girls are happy in it.

[@paisley293]

Luke!! You should be rightly proud of your AWESOME pig enclosure! 👏👏👏Peppa and Maggie will have lots more room for exploration adventures, and will come to love it. Sarah!! Your smile and positivity are infectious! 🤗 Those umbrella mushrooms can't be beat.🍄🍄

[@daffs0]

Yay fence done looks like piggies won’t get out of that it’s really strong , you can rest up your back and knee now 🙂 I love how Molly was doing zoomies and Timmy pouncing as she past Thank you for sharing 😁

[@viviennebradshaw5465]

Great job fencing. Feeling the gratitude

[@cathybrewer8958]

Love watching Timmy with his Olympic style jumping over Molly. She likes it too. I think the pigs are going to like their new enclosure except when they see you going for walks. Luke did a major job on the fencing. It looks good, hope it keeps the pigs inside. Great video Sarah.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

So happy you enjoyed it . I will still take them out on walks sometimes but we do need to start letting them do what we actually got them to do .

[@larrymunden1753]

Congratulations on the great, ingenious, huge fence build! That had to be painful! Heartwarming to see how you treat your animals. Enjoyed the food gathering, how exciting to harvest from your own land. 😊

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you Larry😁Yes it is very exciting eating from the land especially when foraging

[@dweamy1]

Well done on finishing the fence Luke, you did a great job!! I am sure the piggies will enjoy their new space once they get used to it, and no doubt they'll 'point' out the weak spots when they find them! I just hope that Sarah will continue going for walks with them as they seem to love that.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Yes the girls will still come on a few walks a week but they do have to get used to living inside a fence , they have become way too wild 🤣

[@allanb9360]

Nice to finish a difficult job congratulations 👍👍🇨🇦

[@arjanvogel6444]

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys.

[@Chestnut_tree]

The whole video was amazing! Thank you for showing us the fence, it is huge it doesn't look like a jail! It looks like a paradise! Love mushroom hunting as well! Love your raise garden as well! 😘🤩😍🥰😇

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

For us it's a paradise they only see fence when the gate is closed 🤣

[@monalingan9523]

This video was so beautifully filmed. Luke has been working so hard to finish that fence. I have to tell you how much I enjoy seeing Molly and Timmy run around the property. They just make me smile. It must be so much fun Sarah to hunt for mushrooms on your property. Congratulations Luke on finishing the fence! 🎉🎉🎉

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Yes Mona it is such a beautiful time of the year to be exploring our land

[@meglange3595]

A big congrats on the fence project. I'm so happy for you that it's DONE!! The girls were funny, they knew they'd been locked in. Always love the Molly/Timmie wars. They're the best. Take care!! See you next time. 🥰 ♥️ 🤗

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Yes instant upset look when they realised they were fenced in 🤣

[@DonBigMango]

Great to see you guys making real progress, hopefully the girls will enjoy their new enclosure. Congratulations Luke on finishing the fence, I'm sure your delighted that saga is over, felt so sorry for you all that granite you kept hitting. Nice to see Timmy is still getting more limelight, Molly though we love, cannot take it all !!!

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks Don! Very happy it's finished!! 😄

[@raeleneangel6800]

The dedication and continued commitment that you guys show, is just amazing! Well done Luke and Sarah of the new piggy enclosure. I hope you have many 🐷 to make your ponds. It will look amazing and the 🐽 will love all the wallowing ❤. 🍄 worry me especially after what has just happened here in Aus recently. 😘

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

That's why I didn't have any.. don't trust Sarah as far as I can throw her 🤣🤣🤣

[@annadaurie2435]

Great video.

Thanks Joanna

[@SJC49]

Great accomplishment with the fencing. Mushroom info was really interesting!😍🇨🇦

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ritasadventuresineurope]

Wow! It's finally done. Well done 👏. Fencing is a hard job. I bet you're feeling more at ease now with the girls in their huge enclosure. Thanks for the ver early release and have a great weekend. ❤😊

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

They're not in there permanently yet..they need a house next ...bit chilli now especially down there

[@jamespierce-tg7we]

So wanted to share my experience on how pigs can dig out a lake. We had a shallow cove that that our pigs had access to. They would go and create a waller at the pond edge. They would make it nearly as deep as themselves. They would completely coat themselves with mud then climb out and go to higher ground. The mud would dry off and fall off. Then back to the waller they go. So each big hauled off a bucket of mud every time they used the waller. So they dug out a lot of mud. As the lake dried out they kept chasing the water and wallering out the mud

[@Ashley-yn8xe]

Well done with the fence! Fencing is what separates farmers from ranchers. When you are either fencing your animals in or out of areas, you are able to manage your land appropriately for best effects. The next enclosure beside this one only needs 3 sides!

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Very true!

[@mk-xq1tt]

Long stretch of fence - well done.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you x

[@allanb9360]

Thanks!

Love the gate latch.!

[@tinanieborg787]

[@Sidnee333]

Wow....fencing Coming on a treat..you could do with off road buggy with trailer to get your tools and Bluetti to the sites that you work on x

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Indeed.. would be awesome 😄😄

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Great job on fence Luke. Sarah your becoming quite a mushroom queen. They look like a chanterelle.💚

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

I really enjoy looking at mushrooms

[@vickiwalker3486]

You two live a life of celebration. I relate to that. And we could possibly be related since half my family come from Sicily🔅🔅🔅not so far from Malta🔅You live for joy🎉🎉🎉

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Life is way too short to be doing anything other than enjoying it for sure 😀 we love sicily ❤️

[@lorrainetreves8364]

Hi, such a good fence. At least you can now rest at night... knowing they are safe and cannot roam and cause trouble. Congratulations

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

For now they are still wild children until we build them their bedroom but yes we do feel relieved that we can finally lock them in on hunting day 😀

[@melinda5777]

My favorite part was Molly attacking Luke's feet and Timmy!! But I did like the drone footage of the fence line for M & M!!! 🙏❤🇺🇸🇵🇹⛵👣🤗

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

So happy to hear that 😁

[@lindagage7315]

Great job on that fence, such hard work!

[@ruthconstantino6861]

Nice to see Timmy and Molly enjoying themselves during your walks, must be so peaceful and restorative. Love your 3023 little red rain gear, Sarah 🥰. Thanks, Luke, for reviewing the need for your build of high security fencing for your long-planned for pond gléeing experiment. Your girls are the offspring of the wiliest escapists, Oreo and Coco Pop. Great work, Luke. Have a peek at Cindy's vlog to see hom Miguel reworked their fence's weak spots... for reference, of course, in case you ever have a need 😉.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks Ruth . Will do x

[@robrichards6219]

The fence looks good and solid. Great work Luke and Sarah 👍

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks 👍

[@carolemattina9869]

I have to go. Greetings from the airport of Tenerife. And you are welcome ❤

[@ruthconstantino6861]

Truly excellent work, Luke, on all that fencing! Looks like piggy Fort Knox. That was a beautiful plate you made for yourself, Sarah. Those dressed greens with your mushrooms looked delish 😋.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

I have been enjoying my daily salads. I love this time of the year when our land gives us so much x x x

[@junco477]

Incredible. Congrats

[@janp7943]

Such a fun video today as always! Makes me smile a lot! Glad the fence is done, what a job for you Luke! Hope the girls don't break out. Now back to the outdoor kitchen? Thanks so much for sharing! See you next time.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

🤣🤣 Not so fast Jan if only things were that easy.. Now to build them somewhere to sleep during the cold winter nights

[@janp7943]

@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife oh ya, the pig house!!! Forgot. Do you think they will like being far away from you both now?

Love he fencing ❤you guys learn so quickly, see you Tuesday

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

You are a great teacher ❤️

[@herbertgonswa3503]

Pigs Alcatraz ! 😁

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

🤣 they will think so

[@lieuwina]

Those pigs had better appreciate all that hard work you did with that fencing Luke. That was a work out and a half. I can imagine you having all those aches and pain. Sarah I love the way the colour of your wellies (wellington) boots match the colour of your jacket today it is red the other day yellow. Lovely fashion status. That sunset was absolutely beautiful. I miss those, I used to see those in Rhodesia in Africa when I was a little girl.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

I just love watching sunsets and sunrises ,it is very calming. I know the pigs will love their new place once we finish their bedroom ❤️

[@karinscholz1358]

Saffron Milkcaps for sure and are great eating! Fry them up as you would any mushroom, but if you dip in a water and chickpea flour batter and fry, they are divine!!! Doesnt matter if they oxidise a little :)

[@karinscholz1358]

Sorry, cut into chunks first.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Awesome I will definitely try them your way next time x x

[@barbarashikongo286]

Beaut job mate. Sweet As. 👍

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks 👍

[@christhomas8332]

The red and white one is Amanita muscaria very good mushroom, it's great for pain relief, dry the mushroom slice and add to clean jar, fill jar with sweet almond oil and leave in dark cupboard shake daily, strain after 6wks and use for pain relief. ❤

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks for sharing

Wow you can make you're own soap from climbing ivy plants. 😊 yeahh

Now Luke can rest his aching body. Major pain of a job done! Love Timmy and Molly.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

The way Luke chose to make their bedroom is not in the least bit easy 🤣 you will see, but at least it is different muscles to banging in posts

[@ruthconstantino6861]

I noticed how Luke's biceps have become bigger and harder from all the post banging 💪🏽👷🏻‍♂️!

How is it going with your friend? I think it was Mandy she was called? The one who had to leave from her land 😢

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

I think you got the wrong channel. We know no m=Mandy or anyone who had to leave her land

[@ruthconstantino6861]

Mandy moved to another property where she is water-secure and was able to move all her animals. She's on a self-imposed break from vlogging and focusing on her health for now. She occassionally puts up community posts with info updates on her former channel.

[@oekoleben]

Why don't you grow tobacco?

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Random question 🤣🤣

[@oekoleben]

@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife No, I just saw in an older video that he smokes. By growing your own, you not only save costs, but also pesticides and fertilizers. Cultivation is probably even easier in Portugal than here in cold Germany.

[@ruthconstantino6861]

Make. Do. Grow. grew it once in a raised bed as a nitrogen fixer, i think. They collected its seeds in case they want to grow more in future.
