Great job guys! From one Hamakua farmer to another, I don’t recommend poison on the aina. Something gonna grow there eventually and you have to decide if you just keep adding poison. Think permaculture: the problem is the solution; nature’s fences last the longest and need the least maintenance. 🤙
Thanks man I totally agree! Our friend actually made this solution for us that was made with salt, vinegar and dawn dish soap. She uses it around their fence lines etc. I forget the exact ratio but we’ll go over it in Episode 5 😬
Man I just watched 4 episodes and thought “this guy has great content and is very experienced on TH-cam”. I was surprised to see you only had 350 subscribers! I am going to witness a successful TH-camr in the making 😁
Thank you thank you! You know I never really took TH-cam seriously in the past and spent my entire career producing material for others, but I think I’m ready to commit and see where this goes. And comments like these definitely helps me to believe that I can do it, so thank yo for that. And thanks for subscribing 😁
Aloha Jason thanks for tuning in man! We just started filming again so we should be posting more videos regularly. And also, rock makes for excellent drainage, just gotta build your soil on top. Building fence and pounding posts in another story tho LOL. Aloha brah!
Aloha! First of all, I love your videos and how informative you guys are! I'm curious about how you went about buying the land and how that process was like for you. thx!
Thank youuuu! And we found the property listing on the app, Zillow. We then looked at the property multiple times and finally after about 6 months or so we made an offer and took out a land loan. Closed the deal weeks before the market spiked, so super grateful for the timing. Are you folks in Hawaii or are you planning on coming over?
Fantastic! We are looking forward to setting up a small scale farm on our double wide ag lot in Puna. I think we are going to need the oo for that. Pessimistic about the agar. But might try it anyway
Awesome and stoked for you guys! And yep the o’o bar for sure, but the agar might be a little difficult. I remember it yanking me pretty good every time I hit a rock.. thanks for tuning in 🙏🏼🙏🏼
13:54... I'm 5'2 and totally get that!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like it will twist me if it hits a root or rock so I'm scared! 17:08 !!! Love it! Girl Power! 22:58.. Yeah buddy!
Lol yeah we used 12.5-gauge brace wire. The 10.0-gauge is ideal but the 12.5 is actually way easier to work with. And then the “key” is the final locking mechanism at the end. Way better than using wire clamp connectors or clips :)
@@mitchellloewen5509 I just found this channel! Shawn is doing a killer job making these step by step videos. I wasn’t too surprised to see you in the comments haha 😆🤙🏻👏🏻💪🏻. Can’t wait to come up to your place this weekend and check out all the progress you’ve been making. Farmstead, full speed ahead!!
Aloha, I’m about to do this with 10 acres. What were your costs for the fencing and additional labor needed, if I may ask? It would be super helpful if you included those in your future videos (land/rentals/solar/catchment/etc.) Also, I’m gonna reach out to you for Jesse’s contact as well. I saw your email above. Mahalo.
Hey there! Yeah it takes about $1,500-3,500 for materials to fence off 2.5-acres but we were more on the $1,500 side because I had a bunch or reused wooden posts and got some discounted t-posts from a cousin. We did all the labor ourselves so that cut the costs a ton as well. It took a bit longer but we had fun lol. Also Jesse is back with his union gig so he’s not doing fencing anymore, but if you’re on Big Island I may have other contacts. shawn@ENAmediahawaii.com Thanks for tuning in!

What is your h brace support made out of?
Just wire yeah?
Neermind I just seen you made video
