Homesteadin' Hawai'i is dedicated to sharing knowledge gained from living over 20 years off-grid in Hawaii on a homestead I started myself with very little money. I cover off-grid living, permaculture, food forests, building with bamboo, raising animals, solar power, water catchment, alternative construction, tropical perennials and more.

Really cool my man I wanna ask about your bamboo videos. Once you cure the bamboo in borax you need any extra treatment?
i pissed on my girlfriends roses and they died. 😬she dumped me shortly afterwards🤯🥴
what percentage is the acid borax??
I’m all in. I am so exhausted from working, even just three days a week. I very much would love to work from home, even just for a little money. Thank you for this video.😊
Great video! Do you have a video on how your built your pergola/trellis? Love it!
I melt the ends of my paracord lengths like I was taught in the Army. We called 550 cord though.
Brother, I'm building cucumber trellises and found your channel. You're eyes tell me we would chill together in our gardens if we were neighbors.
Many pieces of hardware galvanized have warnings related to zinc. Maybe there is a better collection system for safety.
The two brands mentioned in this video are among the best in affordable inverters. You can always spend more yet if on a budget I would go with these (in full sine wave) if you need dependability. Note that the Bestek has easily accessible fuses in case you inadvertently do something silly. I have yet to have a probelm with my Bestek inverters.
What is your location because I heard some part you can’t grow any fruits.
Thanks for the Video! Greetings from a German woman who lives in Ghana W Africa where Bamboo grows everywhere!!
How many plants to plant per acre ?
What should be the spacing between the plants ???
which is best cut saw for bamboo? chainsaw is most worst!!
ดีมากๆ
could not you just make a diy uv filter with led light strips over a plastic tub, or pipe ?
Awesome! I live in Hawaiian acres and I really need some pork, will be looking them up.. Thanks again for a great video!
Very simple. Yet Very effective. Congratulations.
I have lots mulberry trees growing an lots figs I need to sell. Been easy to root.
Is the stocks of the full grown edible or just the shoots
I use modified sine wave all time. works fine for everything .
Move into the new millinium my friend. When its time for a new inverter...buy a full sine wave inverter. It cost very little more these days and ALL your devices will love it.
Try the blue sky vine growing along side that tree daisy. You will regret the blue sky vine growing in a few months.
Starts at 01:50.
What about lashing it with wire? I see some channels from Vietnam doing that on their bamboo structures. Some drill the bamboo and string the wire through it for extra security.
We feed the offal to our chickens, boil the bones until they're soft for bone broth, dry and grind those for bonemeal for the garden, and what hides we don't process for other use are the only thing we have left to compost. Our black soldier fly larvae farm makes short work of most of those. :) Good to know that 2 feet of covering seems to keep your predators out, that is what worries me here.
That's a great way to use all of the animal. I'm assuming at the scale Sugarhill farm is at that they produce way too much of the by-product to be able to keep up
Very cool
Tamrind doesnt fix nitrogen
I turn at 6 months and wait a minimum of 18 months before putting it near a garden. Red wigglers
Yeah, 1 year to 18 months should be pretty safe.
Excellent. Mahalo. Keep going ....

The community center in Hawaiian Acres burned down. No community center
I planted bamboo to feed my goats. I am in east Kentucky, I have not found a clumping variety that is recommended for my area. My biggest problem is keeping the goats out of the stand till it gets well established, they want it NOW. 😜
Sounds like a perfect plant for my garden
It's good for some gardens, just a little out of control in others
Thank you for this video it was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I looked for bamboo shoots when I was collecting poles from the woods the other day and there weren't any. Do they only pop up at a certain time of year?
Yeah, it can vary where you live but they typically come up in the spring.
We’ve been drinking rain water for about 20 years unfiltered and no problem
And you catch it from the roof and live in Hawaii where we have Rat Lungworm and Lepto?
How do you know which seeds have to stay damp and which ones don't
Ahh! We will be having a course covering that really soon. You can save your place here: successful-pioneer-7609.ck.page/879959443c
Aloha! Where can I buy Laupele seed or clippings? I live on Oahu, near Leahi I will happily buy some off of you if that could work out!
I can sell you cuttings, but you would have to wait until August. Would you mind sending me an email at [email protected] so that I can remember to connect with you again when I am back on island?
Really useful stuff, thank you! How many feet or meters would you say each joint takes?
Probably 3' per tie
Thank you! That is very helpful! I want to build trellises and possibly a garden fence.
Nice, I'm going to make a video covering a bamboo trellis construction, I've been seeing some really cool ones on my travels in Thailand this summer.
Interesting! I never knew you had to treat bamboo. I found some in the woods a few days ago so I guess I am outside the 48 hour window. If I paint it with Thompson's Water Seal will that also work, and should I let green poles turn brown first?
You have to treat right away to keep the bugs out, but if you use Thompson's water seal that helps with sun and moisture, bugs can still get it.
Wait till it turns brown to use thompsons though
Yes… Good job momma! I love that your two year old is learning!!!
Yeah, she seems to do a good job with her kiddo, wish mine spent more time in the garden like that.
Bamboo is the 8th wonder of the world. There's a book in Spanish (written by a Colombian man) called, "Bamboo, Gift from the Gods", or something like that. it's shows all sorts of building methods from several story scaffolding to actual road bridges.
I think I had that book a while back, it really is an amazing plant.
Great channel; I just subscribed. This is a great building method. I'm surprised to see it applied in Hawaii as one of the benefits is the great insulation properties so you usually see this in colder climates. But when I think about it, why not use these in Hawaii too?:
Yeah, why not, and if you design them with good airflow, even better!
I’m interested moving to Hawaii, can you let me know what part of the island are you at.
PUNA district, Big Island, but be careful, things are getting very expensive out here.
My husband and I are currently living in Los Angeles and it’s very expensive too. My husband and I like around 2-3 acres. We plan to go next year to check Puna out to see if we like it.
I'm living in Papaikou, this by far is the best grafting video I have ever seen.
Mahalo for saying that, and Anthony lives right in your neighborhood, you can find him at the Hakalau Farmers Market.
Currently living on Kauai but love the Big Island.Your video is truly Inspiring!🤙
Currently living on the Big Island but I LOVE Kauai, want to trade places?😂. Thanks for watching.
Geez man finding this solution mix has been nightmare. Thanks for the video aloha
Walmart usually has, but post covid it has been tough, its like borax mines closed down or something.
Copper sulfate is expensive though! For a small 4 pound bag can be 36-74 dollars or if you need a lot can be 100$ of dollars
Good point, I prefer boric acid and borax for that reason, but it can still add up
💝💝💝 Thank you love
Thanks for watching
So much info 👍
Glad it had a lot and not too little. Thanks for watching
