Great ideas Cora

If there is a way to slow down the rainwater runoff on your land using swales, that is always a benefit. Retained moisture using swales and dams hydrates the land and keeps it moist in the dry times. With your fruit trees and vegies, try soaking dry cow manure in a large container of unchlorinated water with molasses added. After a week or two, take the liquid and place a small amount around these plants every 2 weeks. Once the fruit trees become more established, u wont need to do so much. Mulch, at least 7 inchs deep, is the key to good tree growth and production over time. Also some added woodash every 6 months. Look at a rainforest and what do u see .. . 1 foot of leaf mulch. I look to nature to learn from its design. Molasses also feeds the micro organisms in the soil, brings worms and also helps ferment the cow manure. Animals are a key part in sustainable living as they provide nutrients for the soil and food for the homestead. All the best.

Nice! Gratz!

Good luck pinch!

We raise meat rabbits and raise them on a pretty steep hill in a colony set up. Very much a hands off approach to a rabbitty set up, but it has been very fruitful with delicious meat and lovely furs. You could use the rocky area to your advantage because it may deter them from digging. Our rabbit colonies have hardware cloth along the base of their pens and we add in a load of cheap topsoil each late fall and spring and take out a gorgeous load of compost at the end of the year. To top dress any gardens. Then feed rabbits with whatever we do not eat from the gardens.

Nice tour!! How exciting for you all and what a great canvas to start with. You found a beautiful property!! 😊

On the hillside I'd put an underground cold storage for extra food. Maybe just for the animals... or somewhere to hang out when it's hot out. Just some ideas. My plan is to make an underground house homestead. 😄 Edit... ha ha, later in the video you already plan a root cellar in the front... yeah, close to the house is preferable.

We love underground houses! So cool! Yes we are also looking at plans to integrate the cellar into the hillside by the greenhouse, even closer to the house and with some kind of more covered access for an easier time in the winter (we get an average of 48 inches of snow here in the winter which isn't the most fun to shovel pathways thru). We just aren't sure with the southern exposure how that would work, but we are getting some ideas the more we look into it! We are excitedly dreaming still! Hopefully, we will start construction in the spring so we have all winter to keep sketching out different ideas and brainstorming to see what will work best. 😀

in australia the old guy on a property near ours used sugar beet on his poor sections , for a couple or three years, he let the crop die back into the ground improving the soil , the ground was too rocky and a bit steep to plough so he just scattered the seed and what took hold took hold, he just grazed sheep on it and wheat on the lower flat land , i think they even fed on the beet at some stage in the crop ,not sure if the sugar beet grows well for you , we are pretty hot and dry , no snow but winter frosts, cheers big ears from down under

I think beets may work, thanks for that! Perhaps radishes would work similarly as well, I think it's worth trying. Seed isn't too expensive to give it a go and just experiment a bit. 😀

Fruit trees in low area are susceptible to late or early frost damage, as cold air sinks and warm air rises. Would be better for them to be up on the ridge. Beautiful place with lots of possibilities. Best wishes in your adventure! I enjoy your meat preservation videos very much!!

You could supplement the diets of your sheep with some tree hay like maybe mulberry? I’ve never tried it but it was what was done traditionally in northern climates probably more so with cows and goats, but mulberry leaves are more mild then most plants. I think it’s worth looking into.

Always tough to use hilly sections of land, but I'm sure you'll find a viable solution which suits :) Perhaps some nice non-vegetable garden? Rocky soil could suit a shed, or some fruit trees. Do you guys plan on having solar or bore water?

@apinchofpatience

Жыл бұрын

Some trees may be a good option. There is solar already installed here, which we are excited about, and we may move the panels, but they are in a really good spot right now as far as sun exposure goes. Our water table is so low in this area that wells are extremely deep and expensive! So for now a well is out of the question but if the funds were available that would be something we would like, we have community well water at the moment which is OK but I do love the independence of a private water source. I've also considered rain catchment, but it's not as practical here where we get an average of 14 inches of rain annually 😄
