The Best Off Grid Drip Irrigation For Watering Fruit Trees!
How do you water newly planted fruit trees? We'll show you a quick, simple method with items that you probably have sitting around anyway. When you want to conserve water or simply make sure all that water gets to your tree without running all over the rest of the area, this is the best way.
We also got a lot of work done in the garden so we can get ready for planting. Spring is finally here to stay. No more teasing.

Off Grid Hot Water. Is it Time for a Change?

Not a long video but very important information! If you live full time off grid, what are you doing for hot water? Some options might not be the best! It depends on your water source and other factors. We have been using an Ecotemp L10 for 3 years and are on our second one. Actually it's three, but one got frozen (oops). Is this the best option for us with a well? Tune in to find out. Our Amazo...

    We are building a new, on grid house but im still putting these stoves pretty high on the consideration list for a couple of reasons. One, we can still cook during power outages. They are rare, but we've had a few that were over a week long in the last ten years with major storms. The other thing, and the more important one, is that theses stove have minimal electronics in them. It seems most appliances lately fail due to control circuit failures. For something as critical in life as being able to prepare food, I really want simple, robust designs that just work and are easily field repairable if the need ever arises.

    My two favorites seasons are spring and autumn. I love the renewing of everything in the spring. The leaves on the trees all the new baby animals all the birds that leave because of the deep snow are back with their songs. What’s not to like that’s a great idea on the trickle watering system with the 5 gallon buckets, even if you’re on community water, it will help you not us as much and still get the same effect. That’s what I’m doing here right now is getting a new garden area set up with fencing to keep the deer and the elk out yeah I’m going to use some raised beds eventually. Not sure how far I will get before we head up to our cabin in the UP to get some work done on that I’ve got three trips planned this year hopefully our first one will be around memorial weekend and the following week. I introduced my wife to rhubarb a couple of years ago when I planted one out front. We really like apple, rhubarb and strawberry rhubarb pies.
