Another garden tip: DO NOT underestimate how far squash vines run. Expect each plant to try to run 10-20ft from where you planted it. This includes watermelon and pumpkin.

Makes them great for the three sisters gardening method though! Corn, then once that's 4-6inches tall you plant vining beans, then after a couple weeks you plant winter squash like acorn or pumpkins to protect the soil from the sun and elements. Plus you can always tip the vines and push energy to other growth if you don't want it growing in a certain direction

Love the no dig garden, but I'd suggest also getting a truckload of woodchips (like from when they remove and grind up the trees) and just pile that about 3-6 inches deep over your topsoil/ manure. It'll help keep your soil from drying out, which means less watering!!

I appreciate all your comments!! I need all the tips I can get! Keep um coming!

I highly recommend getting a snake identification guide if you guys aren’t pretty familiar with your native snakes. Especially since you’re on so much land and going to be gardening, which attracts rodents, your property is going to be the perfect place for snakes with lots of food and cover. your state has 6 venomous species, 5 of which being pit vipers ( eastern diamondback rattlesnake, Pygmy rattlesnake, timber rattlesnake, copperhead, cottonmouth) and 1 elapid (eastern coral snake, they are related to cobras and mambas) You’d be surprised how many snake bites happen in the garden, as that’s where snakes like to wait for rodents to come by. That said, snakes will never seek confrontation and death by snake bite is incredibly rare, only 3-5 die in the US each year. That’s less than deaths from falling out of bed. Please be safe! -A Florida man who loves snakes :)

As someone who's been a subscriber of the Cartoonz channel for a long time now, I'm interested to see where this new channel goes b/c we sometimes forget that the content creators we subscribe to are not just faces & or voices on a screen there human beings so it's going to be fun & interesting to learn more about these two.

Planting lavender and rosemary along with the stuff you plan to grow should help deter deer from snacking on your plants, its a safe and non toxic way to stop deer from feasting on all your hard work . love seeing the progress, cant wait to see how everything goes for you guys.

For the gardens, you can also get construction paper (you can buy it in big rolls) if you can't get enough cardboard. Some herbs like rosemary and sage help keep herbivores away. Do not plant anything from the mint family, you'll never get rid of it unless you torch the whole garden. In the meantime before you cover with cardboard you could buy some ground cover seed, like clovers and rye or wheat. Then chop/now that down and cover with cardboard. You'll create a rich bottom layer for the worms and beneficial bacteria and fungi which your plants will be able to grow into. If the soil is hard I'd recommend even adding like beet/radish seeds with the ground cover to help loosen the soil up some and add some good organic material. For the sides of your raised road/path where they dug out the hill, you should get it planted with some grass to help limit erosion and/or put some big rocks around them. If the soil has been pushed up too far on the trees there is a chance that can be choked out and will rot where the soil sits in the bark which can kill them, not a guarantee to happen though. You can always cut them down and replace them with new trees planted at the right level (fruiting or not).

Grew up gardening in Georgia, moles and voles will devastate a garden. Putting down half inch chicken wire under the cardboard might help, but if they come in from the sides, it might not. Deer can jump 10ft fence. That is why double fences are recommended to keep them out. The inner fence can double as a trellis for vines.

Hackett's Quarry shirt, nice. Does their theme song keep you going? "Every dusk and dawn all through the summer, What doesn't kill you will make you stronger. We're here to lead the way, bunkmates for life we're proud to say. Shout it strong and shout it loud, we're Hacketteers!"

As someone who was around during an apt building renovation on a 70 year old building that still had tenants in it( that was a nightmare of logistics) they would set up a plastic sheet "airlock" where they would enter strip down to they're boxers then gear up in protective suits and everything has to be bagged and sealed before transporting or leaving the sealed in airlock

Toonz, please don't film yourself driving a couple minutes at a time driving without having any hands on the steering wheel to do other stuff than driving, while driving (tbh, it's better to just never do, on or off camera but yeah), it's not only dangerous to do but it also potentially influences people to do this as well, and some people can barely drive a car using both hands as is. That being said tho!.. I really like this vibe of footage going on, and Genay's camerawork and everything is very good and entertaining as well, and ofcourse the intro theme is so much fun to watch as well, it's so well animated!

Looking good! I love the interactions between you and your girl, nothing is better than when you and your partner can just joke with each other, best way to go thru life. I remember when Cookout came up to VA and opened in Newport News, they took over a lot that had an empty restaurant and a tiny parking lot that can only hold like 20-30 cars. For like the first 6 months the line was backed dout onto the main road, it was so bad that they got in trouble with the city for messing up traffic. Lol

I love Genay! I love her refreshing personality. I'm excited to see the garden she's planning. I want to have my own garden too someday. 😊

Found you through Delirous yeeears ago, but you have definitely become my favorite to watch on KZread. I don’t even know you but I’m so happy and excited for y’all, which is kinda silly lol. My wife and I really enjoy seeing this side of y’all and can’t wait to see the evolution of Acme Acres! It may be lame to move back to your hometown, but at least you’re internet famous, right? Sorta? Also, Cookout absolutely beats every fast food chain ever, the tray is legendary.

as someone who has been working on our yard for 20 years, my advice would be plan out your paths, get seats with shade around them and don't be afraid to start over, it's all Trial & error to find what works best for you, BTW love your vids

I love watching my youtubers build/renovate stuff so following you guys on this chanel was a no brainer.

This makes me so happy for you two! I know actually seeing work be done helps being impatient but man I can’t wait to see everything finished. Also I absolutely loved the 4th outfit Toonz!! Much love.

If you want to keep the deer out of your garden without harming them you should plant a small field of corn away from your garden closer to where the deer come from that way they eat on those. And its a bonus to be able to see the deer chillin on your property

Cookout is one of my faves here in Virginia.

Apparently for no-dig gardens, you can stuff the bottom with pieces of wood, twigs, etc so you can save a bit on the compost and soil mix.

Loving the content, damn. I honestly can't wait for what's to come

Garden tip: please make sure the cardboard you use doesn't have ink or designs on it. They can be toxic for consuming even by run-off. If they do take layers off until no ink remains.

I'm genuinely excited to see the whole process of everything 🙌 can't wait

Not sure if it's already been said but a gardening tip I learned from my housemate recently: if you find squirrels and such getting at your plants (especially if you do corn), throw cayenne pepper on them while they're growing! Squirrels don't like spice, so putting it on the growing plant teaches them not to bite it because it's too hot for them. :) (Of course, that also depends on how much you're growing and how much pepper you'd go through! Haha.)

I’m so jealous! It’s gonna be hard now at the start, but when you complete everything, it’s gonna be all worth it!

Your a natural Genay :) can’t wait for the process. Happy for you both :)

Buy yourself some good tools/machines. If your going to build a garden (like a big one) you'll need a post hole driver. Might as well just buy one since you'll be putting years of work into the property. Also I commented in your last Video BUY A BOBCAT/SKID STEER. Seriously one of the best machines money can buy, so incredibly versatile. Other than that you should make an outdoor kitchen/patio for Grilling outside, always wanted one but never made it. Something we did at our place was make a golf green and its pretty sweet. But you need special mowers, grass, and have to make it a certain way. They are alot of work to maintain but worth the time if your into golf. Other than that love the videos guys keep up the good work.👍

What's up toonz! I'm actually an asbestos regulator in WA state. Asbestos abatement is definitely a labor intensive process. Lots of laws and work practices that need to be followed so that you aren't left with any asbestos behind for you guys to breathe in. From the couple shots from inside your house, it looks like they will do a good job. They wrap the rooms up like that because the rooms have to be air tight so that all the air is pulled through a HEPA filter to capture all the fibers while they're working. Your contactor was actually talking about "friable" asbestos which is when the material can be crushed easily and release the fibers into the air. Worse than dealing with "non-friable types". Stuff like your floor tiles are non-friable, and the dry wall and texturing is friable. Love the new property, super jealous! Good luck with the new place and channel, hit me up if you need any questions answered about the abatement!

I cant wait to follow everything out here! its looks amazing!

Hey Toonz, I've been a long-time sub on your main channel (a few years at least). It's awesome seeing you in a more personal way with the vlogs. Keep up the good work!

The first few minutes had Mike Rowe in my head, going "today, on Dirty Jobs: asbestos removal..." I loved the drone footage! I'm not sure what would grow well in North Carolina, or what you're interested in growing, but to start, a couple of easy things are green beans (I like the blue lake variety), radishes, potatoes, and tomatoes, plus rhubarb if you like it!

i can already tell i’ll be loving this channel toonz good luck getting everything set up the way you want it

We love ya folks. Keep up the hard work guys.

When it comes to the garden if NC is anything like Alabama the squirrels and rabbits will ravage your crops as much as the deer will something I’ve had to deal with for years luckily they do make some sprays that’ll stop the deer from eating everything up. That being said I’m so happy you all decided to share your experiences with all of us!

Have to say really looking forward to these also really love this and your gaming channel looking forward to seeing more wish you both luck on acme achers.

Hey guys. Been watching toonzie for a minute. So I love how you’re branching out channel and content-wise. Can’t wait to see what you all have planned and see it become real. The only suggestion I might make is to maybe reach out to Matt Carricker from Demoranch and Off the Ranch channels. I watched their abandoned mansion series and it was like This old house on crack. I bet there are tons of ideas, mistakes and content structure that you might gain from watching. Plus I think Matt was able to wrangle a “few” sponsored products that end up in their final build and saved them a butt-load of money. Maybe he might be open for a little collab action. Anyway good luck with everything keep up the good content.
