Thanks so much, this video has been so helpful, just wondering what month you are doing this..

Great info I have 3 baths Hubby is oh no! As they are all cast iron wxcept one was delivered as they were renovating and I asked for it. One has water in it with some water lillies, but I need to clean up around it and in it. I hope it will attrqct one of my favourites dragonflies as they are the ninjas of the predator world I want to do this with another bath in making a worm farm. Notnsure aboutbthe other thought garden but heart if kead posioning from old baths, would need to test it. Can buy kits. Looking foward to making a worm farm. 🪱 ❤

You need a dog to keep you company. A rat terrier would be a good choice.

I’ve really enjoyed gathering different materials with you this morning

Why grow so many potatoes? You said it - because it is fun! 😊 Nothing better than some homegrown potatoes with butter, salt and pepper. It’s lovely of you to share with others in the community in need. 😇

Brilliant video. Thankyou so much for sharing this with us.

I lost so many ducks to coyote this year

Hi there, we also have moisture issues and dampness in our West Gippy property which aggravates our allergies and asthma. I bought a dehumidifier- just a small model-but it is amazing how much moisture/water it sucks out of the building. Maybe one of these or even better a HVAC system could help you minimise some of the excess moisture at your place. Take care, you deserve it!

Very easy to follow how you do this. Thank you.

Why do you put the ducks in the fridge before you got them and not put them in the fridge after you got them?

We have 2 groups of chickens with a turkey as well.

I've given up using it, because not only has it failed to contain my chickens.

you did amazing job for your first try i have been trying to do my own too hope yours are going better than mine have good luck to you

Hi Linda ❤ amazing to think of the things around us that effect our health which we often don't consider, thank you so much for sharing with us. Will keep you in my prayers and hope the journey of renovating your home is not too overwhelmingly as you take each day and project as it comes. I was thinking as you were speaking how our lives like our gardens are filled with so many different seasons. Your video's no matter how often your able to get them out will continue to be a blessing, enjoy the times drinking in the wonderfulness of your property and those absolutely gorgeous daffodils 😍

Sending well-wishes for your recovery & challenging issues wirh the house. Great tour of your beautiful property & progress 😊

Really enjoyed this video! Very informative and claming to watch. Thanks!

Hi Linda. Thank you for all of your videos. You've been my favourite uploader for a long time now. Your channel has been very helpful to all of us. I look forward to seeing you again in good health in the garden.

We have wondered where you've been and what you've been doing. I"m sad to hear how much of a challenge you've been having health wise, but it's good it's now been identified and a path forward possible. We'll enjoy any you do manage to make of course, but we can enjoy rewatching from the beginning too. Your health is the most important thing to deal with. Hopefully your local permie community can run a few busy bees for you and enable you to focus on the necessary renos. We'll be sending good vibes. ❤

Wish you all the best Linda. I'm going through cirs currently and understand your suffering. I know you will come out of this healthier and stronger. ❤️

Good luck :) I live in the great Bear rainforest, and I feel you ❤️ so wet and yucky in most of the buildings here unfortunately. The native people of this land knew how to deal with these problems but modern designs don’t hold up unfortunately without a lot of care and finances.

Linda, Thank you for sharing and being so open about what is happening for you right now. Your health is the most important thing and all the very best as you work towards a healthy environment/home. Would love to still see your progress with the garden and also the house when time allows. So good you have a plan and someone to help you along the way. All the very best. J

Best of luck with your health, Linda.

There’s so many chemicals around us that organic food is only part of what we can do to improve our health. I think you’ll have many followers in your new health and permaculture channel lol Looking forward to more of your posts whatever the subject is lol Take care of yourself 😊🌿

Hi Linda , the swales are looking great and the fruit trees are so beautiful with their sweet blossoms. Great job on the chook pen. Im on the lookout for a greenhouse frame or something to build another main pen as im slowly taking our broken one apart and im unable to move the chook tractors anymore because of my health. Our bodies can really challenge us sometimes, especially when we're trying to live an active healthy lifestyle and providing what we believe is optimal nutrition. I hope you can feel better soon. I for one would watch the volenteer garden update videos eagerly. Im sure many plants will grow for you and decide where they like to live best. I love your Chanel. Take care darling, Naomi ❤❤

Thank you for sharing your videos, Linda, I find them informative & interesting. I hope your health improves as quickly as possible. 💕

Thanks for posting this

Nice to see you again Linda. Thanks for sharing your situation and so sorry to hear what you're dealing with. A lot to deal with but having a solid diagnosis and a plan of action seems to have given you a deal of motivation. I wish you well and all I can say is take your time and do videos when you feel you want to for your own emotional health. Also thanks for your channel, I have got some great things out of it even though I my permaculture garden is an urban one! All the best.

You look after you. What a huge journey for you. Gardens keep growing. Your videos have been interesting and inspiring.

Hi Linda. A great video of your lovely garden and what you are dealing with in your health. We have many similarities in our garden at the moment. So good to see other Aussie gardens

All looks great and the road side swales are looking really good and impactful.. hope you get better soon and best of luck with your renovations. Just a quick-recommendation, look into a Positive Pressure Ventilation system or recovery ventilation. It will help the house breathe better. Cheers

Hi Linda take care of yourself and your health. The other things in life is secondary.

So sorry to hear of all you have been going through over such a long period of time, hope you feel a lot better soon. I will miss your weekly tips and advice and wealth of information about permaculture and cooking. All the best with your reno, wow what courage, see you when you come back

I'm so happy to see you and your farm again, but sorry to hear your health news. I've recently diagnosed myself too, with "farmer's lung," after 16 months of never feeling well since having flu and bronchitis last year. Any trace of mould brings on paroxysms of coughing and I'm short of breath most of the time. I bought several large bales of hay about 4 years ago, which had been sitting outside in the rain. All of them had lots of mould inside, and it started off this hypersensitivity pneumonitis. It is one of the biggest vocational killers of farmers. My old timber house has always been damp and mouldy too. But there's no way of fixing that. Hopefully you will make some videos later, detailing your health progress! Seems plenty of us suffer from similar issues.

I'm happy to see your volunteer garden and just watching everything grow 💞 at least you know what you need to do!

Oh no, Linda! That sounds horrible. I hope you can fix your house, so it stops making you sick! Some years ago I read "The bulletproof diet" and I remember that the author, Dave Asprey, also hat massive problems with mold toxins, so there was quite a lot infos in there about that topic. Also, if I remember correctly, there are foods that often can have molds in them (like coffee, and back pepper). He also has a youtube channel (search for Dave Asprey bulletproof) so there probably are a number of videos on mold among other interesting stuff about how to "bulletproof" yourself against all the crazy stuff the world (well, we ourselves, actually...) throws at us, that make us sick. I'll sure miss your videos, but health is more important. I hope, you'll come back soon, bulletproof 😊

Hi Linda, sorry with what you're having to deal with and I hope fixing your home will help you. Take your time and we'll still be here when you're ready to make more videos, much love from Wonthaggi. 💚💚💚

Hi Linda, I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with such stubborn health issues, but glad you’re on the path to treatment now. Health comes first, and I’ll be here ready to watch your videos when you have time and energy to share something! I sadly lost two 1.5m tall seed-grown tagasaste in a random hard frost a couple of months back, which was a bummer. They have lots of great functions, don’t they - including being a great nurse tree for young fruit trees.

I could see something wasn’t right because you had lost so much weight but I felt it impertinent to ask. I’m so sorry that you have had health issues for many years and hope this strategy makes huge improvements to your health for the future. I hope you have family and friends to help you get it all done. Will miss your videos but needs must for the time being. Take care Linda. Ps. I don’t want to give health advice but I know many on TH-cam who have dealt with inflammatory diseases, including myself, have had good results with Low Carb/Keto/Carnivore type diets. Just another strategy in case you need it.

Oh Linda. Life huh. Best wishes for this new chapter in your journey. May it be as fruitful as your garden. Your videos are fantastic. I will certainly miss you and your garden updates.

Hi Linda. That's huge! I can't even imagine how to go about tackling such a massive clear out of one's environment. Dealing with autoimmune conditions is a difficult journey for sure (speaking from experience). So impressed at what you achieve despite those challenges. I'm also in the process of developing a permaculture property - only 1/3 acre, so much smaller than yours but definitely enough of a challenge at age 56 🙂. Have very much appreciated all the time you have given us here on youtube - I find your vids very enjoyable and interesting. I now also have a hand sickle thanks to you - makes such short work of chopping down comfrey. Take care and thinking of you xo.

Hi 👋 Linda. Please take care of yourself first before you worry about video's. I really enjoyed All your video's and hope to use a lot of what i learned from watching you. . Thank you Linda. I wish you a speedy revovery ,greath, and happiness..

Sorry to hear about your health Linda, I can relate so much , I struggle with inflammation and Hashimotos too. I’d be interested to hear about your health treatment and developments if you don’t mi d sharing. I’ll miss your beautiful garden , animals and updates . Wish you all the best 🙏🌿💚

Hi Linda, Just wondering if you have spoken with your home insurer to see if they can help you with the repairs/renovations with your house, as the cause of the mould growth was due to a leak? It would certainly make life easier for you if they were able to assist.

I don't think I have any mould issues in my house. It's a 1928 dble brick with 12' ceilings. I've always been aware of mdf, carpets, plastics, synthetics and all man made products that leach chemicals into our environment. When I renovated I made sure that I didn't use those products. I use jarrah or pine, its more expensive but I think it's worth it in the long run. Thatnkyou for your info today. Take care and I hope you sort things out 🙏

I've just found your channel. I'm coeliac as well. I was getting inflammatory arthritis and thought it was my CD, I've since found out it's from dairy products. I'd love to see your reno videos to. Now I'm looking into CIRS.

Hola amiga, reestablecer tu salud es primordial, espero tu pronta mejoría y agradezco el tiempo que nos regalas en cada vídeo, agradezco tú forma de compartir tus conocimientos ya que para mí han sido muy provechosos. Cariños y bendiciones desde mí amado Chile 🇨🇱🌻💚

Put your renovations up ❤

Have certainly missed my usual Sunday fix of Hutton Valley - I sincerely hope u can get ur health issues sorted & in view of that, I am in awe of what u accomplish in the week - all the best x

I appreciate your videos but your health is everything so honestly a video now and then is plenty to hold your audience. I’m so glad you got to the bottom of the information. For me sugars create an inflammation response so illuminating it has made a huge difference. Love and blessings my fellow Melbourne gardener x Kayleen

Hi Linda, hope these issues with your health improve quickly, and your quality of life will improve.😊
