Another way to intercrop is beans with Bananas (Cooking bananas) and beans with coffee. Beans are legumes and legumes replenish nutrients like nitrogen in the soil which is needed for good plant growth but is depleted by other crops. You can also plant beans, pumpkins, and maize together (intercrop) because these plants complement each other.

Hi Jael, you could try to use the lower part of the lemongrass to prepare soups, and curries. Can also use it on roasted meats to give a citrus taste. I sometimes cook it with my egg noodles with chicken or prawns, adding my spices, ginger, garlic and coconut milk. Very good especially when feeling poorly, helps to boost appetite. Loving your vlogs kama kawa.

I grow it and citronella to keep mosquitoes away. I am looking forward to you explaining how to turn it into powder and drink with tea. I like tea and coffee. I purchase Kenya coffee from the Limiri Farm in Meru. It’s delicious! I have tea that was grown in Kenya but I purchase it from a US company. I enjoy watching you in your garden.

Hello Tabitha. I will definitely show you how once it's dry.

Watching this as I get dressed to go outside and pull weeds! I'm on 7 acres on the rainy side of my island and the weeding is neverending. It's just a part of life like washing your dishes or doing laundry. Do you just compost all of your yard waste (weeds, branches, leaves, etc) in one big pile? And do you ever add new soil or mulch to your beds after you weed them, to replace some of the dirt that gets pulled away with the weeds? Thank you for the inspiring videos and aloha from Hawai'i! 🌱 EAT YOUR YARD! 🌱

Jael, I love your videos! They are so soothing and relaxing...and, Oh! so enticing! I hope you don't mind me asking this question. So many of us are putting off moving to the village even though our soul cries out for it only because we may not have a realistic idea of how to pull it off. Maybe some of us are ready and just don't know it! My question is, just how much of a passive monthly income should one aim for to sustain a comfortable life like yours in the village. That is, regular income that is not from a job. (Maybe investments or pensions etc.) And I mean a life very much like yours. With a paid off house, some land to grow food and have a few animals, for sustenance (assuming one is not going to do any commercial farming), and enough to operate a reasonable car for transportation. Also, with some regular help around the house and the yard. Ranges would be perfect! You don't have to give specifics if you would rather not! For example, would the range be 50k to 100k? 100k to 150K? 150k to 200k? Or more? Thanks so much for your inspiring videos Jael! They are always such a breath of fresh air!

I grow most of my vegetables and keep chicken for eggs and meat and cows for milk, 2 permanent workers. The rest I hire on need basis. I don't travel a lot. Most of my trips are to the farms and market which are not so far away. On home maintenance we use roughly around 100k
