I'm from Sweden and growing up we always did controled fires on my parents property for biodiversity. Learning to handle fire from a early age have been very useful.

You never stop learning from this channel. @Narrowayhomestead I have never done a controlled burn. My husband did those. Now that he is gone I'm having to learn a lot of his jobs. Thanks for sharing and teaching us as you learn the right way to do it. 🔥

Wow I loved this. As a city slicker I enjoy the idea of homesteading but I think I'm just not built for it. Lots of medical issues. But I sure do love your videos. Love the long format. It's so incredible how he controls his fire even though to me I'd be like, "shit, shit, shit."

I heard there are some species of vegetation who's seeds actually wait underground for a wild fire to occur so that they can grow at that opportune time when the soil is full of nutrients and there's no competition for sunlight.

Grew up with controlled burns and burn areas. I've seen them get out of hand even when being maintained by a 40 man crew of fire fighters and one lost his life in that burn. They had almost 200 involved in trying to get it out cthe end of a week. Wind and weather can change more rapidly than people expect. Flare ups where it's not completely out are a big risk too. Always play it safely than one might expect.

It's cool to see you doing your first burn. I think you will be well satisfied with the results. Native folks did it for thousands of years for a reason and old timers in the south picked it up and never really stopped. The ecological benefits are really hard to replicate any other way plus it's hard to beat in keeping a field a field. Now I'm curious to hear, do you have any plans to burn any part of your woodlands at all? Of course it all depends on what your objectives are for those woods. Of course take it slow, make a good plam, get that experience and keep burning!

In India they burn stubble (Leftover rice stump ) to make the nutrients back into soil and save costs of uprooting them , while good for agriculture the pollution from the burning makes the air extremely polluted in the neighbouring states (wind flow takes the smoke out of the state),this is done in winter which adds to the pollution, trapped smoke from stubble burning,smoke from vehicle plus fog results in smog

Not exactly both like this other guy saying. They take a longer to grow but that's just a side effect

The soil from burnt organic matter is really rich so it may take longer initially but the plants have better nutrients.

And then, as you continue to gather, firewood, etc. you will be cleaning out the forest floor also and that will help in case another fire gets going unexpectedly.

Goats are a lot more trouble to take care of than ducks, and they're known for eroding soil with their feeding and trampling. Mongolia has been having severe issues due to this.
