Stephanie, my husband works for a company called 5.11 and was in Marshall week before last working with your police chief to help get them restocked in some gear. When he would call home at night he was coughing so bad he could barely speak. We don’t use over the counter meds so I had sent some Wild Violet tincture with him for allergies. It helped him tremendously. It clears your lungs and sinuses so bad stuff doesn’t settle in your chest. I recommend it!!

You TRULY are. You came across my suggestions when I was in Cheerokee, N.C., after Sept. 27th. That following Monday we were allowed to have a 4 night stay at Cherokee, Harrahs. I was grateful, yet HORRIFIED by seeing what I did on T.V. so then I felt guilty I was even in Cheerokee. I did have the BEST MOST APPRECIATIVE SHOWER EVERRRR. a cool room, electricity, and WIFI, which is when I came across your channel. I watched your video on when you were getting ready for the storm to come. Your cabin is so calm, warm,and inviting. ❤ and subscribed right away. You give me a feeling of calm. I wish I could do a tower, I am in a condo, only E. sunshine. IDK, if that is capable, because of not much sunlight. I shared this video with my daughter Tha is in Richmond, TX. She has a big back yard, even though she is in a subdivision. LOVE your channel. Much Love and hugs ~ The Carolina Way from Candler, N.C.

​@sonyagraske376 If you purchase the LED Lights with the Gardens, you won't have to worry about not having sunshine.... Stephani also has the LED Lights for hers, but since she's able to place them outside in Natural sunlight, she removed all the lights for time being & stored them in her garage... I imagine she will place the lights back on when she has to bring the towers indoors to keep growing more food. That's the nice thing. My friend in Va has a small room set aside just for their Tower Garden. They had a tomato plant that grew to over 6-7 ft in length. They just let it wrap around the tower & lay close to the ground. NICE PRODUCE!

OMG 😃 I’ve been telling my husband all about you and your stories and amazing towers! We have been so busy preparing for our son, daughter-in-law, and grandson who are moving here from Nebraska! We are beyond excited, but boy do I wish I had these towers. We have a huge backyard which sounds like more of what you had in Florida. We are in the very very far northern part of California and I love to garden and make my own compost, and have a couple of raise garden beds, nothing to write home about; but fun! The majority of my time time is spent grooming the yard. I am retired now so it’s a little bit easier, but it does take up most of my time. Ridiculous! It’s just been fun to go “look a cucumber… Lol!” We are still able to pick pole beans and those are delicious. Like you said, it definitely would not sustain a person not even one person. I totally taste the difference in what I do grow because I don’t put pesticides on everything. It grosses me out to go to a restaurant and order a salad and it tastes like bleach or something! I just admire you so much and will continue to watch your videos and just want to research and research so I do it right but I want to start sooner than later! Thank you so much for your videos and inspiration!😊

I stumbled across your channel… I am sure NOT by accident. This past summer even though I feel awful a lot having EDS and POTs, I felt the extreme need to garden and start canning everything. I only canned zucchini relish and tomatoes in the past 1 time years ago. I obeyed and now have relish, pickles, preserves, pie filling, butters, salsa etc. I intend to continue on with broths, soups, etc. I also started drying my own tea leaves from multiple hibiscus plants. I felt things were starting to go sideways, but you have clarified so much more, thank you. I will absolutely continue.

@@alternativehomesteadingchannel Some areas did get months worth of rain in a short period so dry out was needed. It was also needed for homes/businesses. This is also the dry season in Southern Appalachia. Fall is fire season. The dust from dried out silt and mud does have toxic particles in it in some areas. Air quality control statements have noted this for weeks, and recommended that people try to avoid being out for extended periods when the wind is high. That’s incredibly hard to do right now. PPE, pf course, has been recommended. Many of the dust particles are larger and harder for people to inhale. Others are smaller. It’s not going to be toxic in every single area, though. It depends on location. Some were covered in mud from headwaters from the tops of mountains with no residences or businesses above them. Peoples allergies are in overdrive right now, understandably so. It’s resulting in sinus infections, and the sinus infections are closely related to bronchitis. It’s easy for one to turn into bronchitis, and it’s easy for bronchitis to turn into walking pneumonia or pneumonia. MMH has been putting out messages about this. It’s bronchitis/walking pneumonia season anyway but this is making matters worse.

@@alternativehomesteadingchannel I am so glad there was a light steady rain yesterday. That was desperately needed to knock down the dust and help clear reservoirs of drinking water. Several reservoirs flipped. The silt and sediment ended up on the top and the water is on the bottom. Local, state and federal agencies have been testing the water daily (and they have been doing soil testing for weeks too) and are using different methods to help the sediment settle faster. The water temps have cooled down due to winter approaching and this slows down the process of settling. The water situation has been especially grim in Buncombe but it’s getting there, slowly but surely. Even 30% of peoples wells that were covered in flood water are testing positive for bacteria like E.coli. The EPA is sure several other private wells that were flooded are in the same shape but some people apparently think the Environmental Protection Agency is nefarious and out to harm them. They won’t let them test their wells. So, local health departments are handing out well decon kits to combat this.

We feed them everything they need where soil can have deficiencies that we may never even know about. I don't believe hydroponics is the 100% best option. I personally believe a natural food forest has a better microbiome system.....but, permaculture doesn't replace the grocery store, not even close, so there are some trade offs. Hope that makes sense! I think the best way to have a balanced approach is to sprout, ferment, tower garden, soil garden on a small scale for things that won't grow in a tower, worm farm, and create you own compost from scrapes. That sounds like a lot but in small practices it's not overwhelming.

I knew the root system would be a challenge, so I saved about 5 feet of stump and we have converted it into a hobbit house. I’m adding a garden all around it, but will include herbs too. We have sun along the fence now so may plant a blackberry vine there. After all these years, I’m thinking differently! I’m 62 but prefer the outdoors, so I’m lucky!

It would be difficult to depend on hunting anyway because the animals would quickly be depleted. And unless one has the skills to dehydrate and otherwise preserve the meats, that is not a reliable food source. With any sort of garden there is a pretty big learning curve. People should have really started a garden years ago because there are different challenges every year. I’ve been gardening for decades but only veg gardening for 7. It takes years for fruit trees and shrubs to produce a good harvest. This year our biggest challenge was fighting. mosquitoes after serious rainfalls. It was so bad we let food just rot and our strawberries were fantastic. 🥲 Tomatoes, potatoes, raspberries and peppers are very plentiful for us but I still need to master greens.

I've had a back injury and didn't know about growing any other way than with dirt. I built 2 small raised beds and put a cattle panel between them as a trellis. It was very difficult and costly and I never would have done it had I known about these towers. It may sound foreign to you but this is a serious question- How do you use all of the greens you grow? I know you can throw them in a smoothie or stir fry, but I really don't know what is what with even that kind of thing. I'm not a smoothie or juicing kind of person, what do you do with that much cilantro or the other greens you grow? Thanks for sharing

I should have known. When I saw the Tower Gardening Journal, I knew it was something created by you.I would like a copy. Going on 85, I am not on Facebook.and am not willing to do such a large down load, take it to a printer etc. That is a disaster waiting to happen. I am trying to catch up with your videos on You Tube because your videos are interesting and not the corporate line. Here in Texas,we grow inside as the property is overrun with fire ants. Growing has been going on here since 2013, so I am not a beginner and I am still learning. Can you help me out with the journal? Waiting patiently for a resolution or a suggestion as to how I can acquire the journal. Looking forward to hearing from you, Most sincerely, zlouise G. Beddow

what zone were you in while in Florida. I am in Zone 9B and have done tower gardens in the past. I have been thinking about trying a tower garden again.... previously,, the water would get too hot and Pithium on the stalks...so I gave up..

I was in Jacksonville. I forget what zone. You can try insulating the bottom and stick the whole bottom in one of those whiskey barrels. It fits perfect. Also, setting up a shade cloth. So an old camping tent remove the top and put on 50 or 40% shade cloth.
