🔷 ABOUT US 🔷
We're a DIY family building our "forever homestead" from 15 acres of raw undeveloped land in Tennessee. All of our content is family friendly and safe for everyone to enjoy.
In today's video we work to find the filler material for our tall raised garden beds. We use our Massey Ferguson 1825 E tractor to gather debris from our woods to build a hugelkultur raised bed garden system for our Birdies 8-in-1 Raised Garden Beds.

Hey guys, how small of a log or branch will work on?
Them boys are good hearty workers. You a d Angela doing a good job raising them. 💪💪👊
Wow Great Garden set up❤ 👍 Awesome 💯🌞🙏🙌🇺🇸🤞✌️
Your ground is some dark rich looking soil. Using what you have; reuse, recycle, repurpose, love it!
You guys can go camping back in there when it's hot it will be nice and cool😉👍
I see Angela is wearing her safety boots again.
The entire time you were in the woods I was looking for a copperhead :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️ lol the cat😽😽😽😽😽 bless your heart Sam....prayers over that cut🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video Sam and Angela
That tractor is a blessing! The work you accomplished wouldn’t have been possible without it.
Lol! That fast forward of yall gathering logs. I love it! 😁
Don't worry about taking the fallen trees out of your forest. It really helps the trees that are standing to breathe. The insects still have enough dirt and leaves in there to be cozy.
Nice raised beds. And watch out for those hands and fingers!
Thanks 👍
I’m so happy for your family! Look what you have accomplish with your homestead! I love it! Those feral boys are so amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Making good fun out of a lot of hard work!!!
Absolutely!
Hi Sam Angela & boys,have a nice week.🌷💕🌷
hey there Sam and Angela !
Good looking soil, nothing better than free dirt.
First dibs on congratulations for 100K subs. 🎉
It’ll probably happen by end of this coming weekend!!!!!
As of now it’s up at 104 thousand subscribers
My husband and I had tons of excavation work done on our property and had the excess dirt pushed in a giant pile. We now steal dirt from that pile for our garden beds. We add manure and stuff to it to keep it good. My land was given to me from my Papaw who farmed all this land and his parents before him. So, we’ve been growing gardens in this soil a good while.
My husband nearly cut his finger off 2 weeks ago. He had surgery last Friday to fix it. Had the tendon cut in half, the nerves completely severed, and some minor bone damage. Now, the surgeon said he can’t use his hand for months while it heals.
I’m glad you didn’t hurt yourself bad on the chainsaw.
One of the local salmon sports fishing boats here in Sunny Sooke was named "CUT THUMB" ! heal soon! CHEERS from HERE!!!
Fun fun fun, loved the vid🤗🤗
Hi Sam and Angela! You should also go to you local hardware store and buy some copper wire. Wrap the copper wire around any stakes you put in the soil, this will increase the amount in whatever your growing! Old time farmers used to put copper wiring in their fields and got huge crops!! More and more people are going back to this method and reaping great rewards! 😉
Thanks for the info! My husband says he is gonna try it out!! We'll let you know!!🥒🌱🍓🍅🍆🍉🍒
Better off going to a scrap yard. Copper isn't cheap
@@dalecherry3892 yes Dale you can do that also to save a few dollars! Then you just twist the copper together to make whatever sized rod you need. Great advice! 🙂
I ❤ your family. The boys are growing up before our 👀.
Tweety bird Old Lady!!!! i laughed and laughed. She was a favorite. Ha ha ha
You all stay safe and warm wishes to you all. That garden will be super.
I enjoy watching all about gardening. Your whole family loves to work and play outside. A good way to live. See ya.
Orange cat is like your cutting up my scratching post lol
😅
You’re for sure making good use of your new tractor. Keep it up. Love how the boys are helping.❤️ Can’t wait to see your harvest.
I love getting the soil from the woods, and it smells great in there. The boys seemed to be having a great time .That lizard you caught is called a skink . Cute little fellow.
Your homestead is looking so good, love your videos.. And great family time, make those memories... ❤❤❤❤
Hi Sam, Hi Angela,
You Guys are awesome, hard-working family is an understatement, my wife Carmen and I love watching your channel, and your home, and the land looks so nice can't wait to see the next episode of the "HOMESTEAD"
From your friends here in Lima Peru
George & Carmen
Haven’t seen you all for while,hope you all had lovely Easter xx
Your raised garden is going to look awesome once you get it going. I like what your doing🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
That was a skink! We have those here in Florida 😅
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and cutting wood for the raised garden beds
It's amazing how sharp those chainsaw teeth are. I cut my thumb open while sharpening mine. I grabbed it wrong and my thumb was suddenly bleeding. Lesson learned. I always wear gloves when using my chainsaw.
You sure look good driving that "Big Red Tractor", Sam! (Sounds like a good children's book, " Sam and The Big Red Tractor"!) Great that you can save all that money by partially filling your raised beds with stuff from your own property! Take care of that finger!
Thanks 👍
Angela your garden hat is awesome🥰
As always an enjoyable and informative video.
Angela is correct. Elijah is a miniature version of Sam.
Any father should be proud to here that.
I guess😃
Elijah seems to be a hard worker and enjoys working with dad and learning things.
Yep, looks like a lot of work creating a garden bed.
I'm the type that throws some potting soil in a pot pit in some seeds or seedings and hope something happens. I'm happy if I get something to grow 10% of the time.😊
So I've usually end up getting home grown stuff from a local farmer.
Hoping you have great success.
Love you guys
It was so funny that you called your raised beds caskets. I have 17 in ones and my neighbors call them coffins. Lol
ENJOYED !!
I like this kind of videos- thanks.
“Raised Bed Garden Law”…lol. 🙏👍🌻
That was smart putting on those gloves while using a chainsaw...
After the initial chainsaw accident...
😂 Be safe!
True story 😂👏👏👏
Gotta admit, I was impressed with that battery operated chain saw the way it went through that oak or ash tree. (Hard to tell which all the way out here in Utah)
Your sons are going to be such a help to you I love to watch them 🇬🇧😊
Thanks alot, now I want lasagna😂. That was a hard day's work!!! The soil from your woods looks awesome!!! We need to do this too. Looks like Elijah is taking after Angela's brother in height😊 he's getting so tall. Miss you guys
Getting that red tractor really was a good investment! Happy times to you all.
I just love watching your homestead growing and the processes you share with us!! How exciting for your family. Please keep the videos coming and GOD bless
Thank you so much!
What a good idea filling beds with things that will enrich the soil. I inherited my dad's worrywartitis, so be careful. One of the boys crawled under the raised bucket. Would really be bad if hydraulics let go and it dropped. Love your channel!
Good video and good job
It was a blue tailed skink in the log. That was funny😂
That was so fun!!. I always wanted to know what it was like to go into the woods. I can see you have taken good care of the land. Thanks for taking me along I really appreciate it. God Bless
I'm so glad to see that your boys are getting to have a real childhood. Especially in this age of kids being hooked on smart devices practically from the cradle.
Angela is like a regular Lumber Jaquelin with that chainsaw. She also didn't cut herself.
😂😂😂
Another great video guys, love the bloopers!👍🏻
A friend got rakings and dirt from her local cemetery free of charge. The groundskeepers were happy to have it off their hands.
Love this video, takes me back in time. 💕
Love you ALL!!! Such good role models for your family. God bless!!
You guys get so much work done with all 4 of you going at it! So fun to watch. We have to cut down a few of our old crab apple tree branches and we're building another raised bed. Guess those branches could go on the bottom👍. Filling the bed will cost so much less now😊.
A lot of the packing insulation is now dissolvable and actually is plant food.
Good job guys!
Great video! Love the teamwork. Awesome raised beds. Sending love and light.
The boys are becoming awesome little men 😊
Getting the garden ready for planting i like your raise beds
It's sure nice to see the boys again. They are really getting tall!!
You guys all work so hard and make it look like fun. What a great family. Y'all gave me some good tips. Thanks!! 😊
I love how the boys observed the rules around the chain saw. They were patient. Elijah worked his butt off out there!
I see a treehouse in the woods coming for the boys. What a great spot for one
That is the best ever content for filling raised beds. Well DONE.
I love that you are considering the local ecology in the management of your property!
Great use of all that dead wood and giving space for new growth throughout….use what you’ve got …those boys are going to be so well balanced when they’re grown… keep up the good work guys!…btw no one ever said work couldn’t be fun!
I heard a story of a large rotten being cut down and a nest of black snakes was in it. Black snakes are good for
rodent control. I think the bigger logs will decompose better by splitting them. All the leaves etc. are great material for
your raised beds.
Wow! This is a great lesson for me and everyone else! I never thought about doing that. You’re a beautiful family! The boys are so grown up and handsome! God Bless you all!
my raised beds are 26 inches wish they were 30 ... to me the reason for raised beds is not just better soil but ease of gardening... love your garden so far
It looks like fun and a good time with the boys!
That makes for some great compost, but Green vs. Brown material says that it isn't ready for plants. The materials will break down and burn the seedlings as it heats up.
Salamander so neat great video🙋♀️🌻🙏
Red chainsaw, red truck, red tractor... Sam, we’re noticing a pattern! Haha
Great work!
Looks so good. Loved the weeee shot at the end. 👍👍for everyone
Wise use of resources! And what a wonderful work-horse you have with that beautiful tractor!
Thank you very much!
Never seen logs used , only branches. They break down much quicker where logs will take years. Awesome progress tho !!!!!
I just love the homestead you two have created. My husband also loves his tractor Sam. Hope your weekend is great.
Thank you so much! We just keep liking it more and more with every step we take. :)
Great start for your vegetable garden. Looking forward to seeing it finished and the plants starting to shoot up. You really work well together. You are all doing a great job! Bless you all.
Wow Sam you have some nice looking wood there I would save some for bowl blanks! Do you still have a lathe?? Pop a few of those on your Etsy store for sure!
Technically yes, although it's in a storage loft in the shop... don't go giving me more ideas of things to do! LOL There are a few nice burls in some maple trees in the woods, and don't you think I've not been eyeing them! Hahaha ... ... ... now I'm thinking of bowls! Argh! LOL
I love the way you 4 work together. ❤
Thank you! 😊
Just a word of caution - check for ticks. They are out in the woods. Don't know if Lyme disease is in your area or not. Our grandson got it from a tick.
Love watching! Take care and be blessed.😊
We grew up with the term log roller too.
Loved all of this 🥰🇨🇦
hey I'm happy with once a week or I miss you guys
It isn't a peavey, Sam, its a cant hook. In this case, its a footed cant hook. A peavey has a little pointed shaft down at the end. I suppose it is for sticking into something, but I never found a use for it. The cant hook you have is what I would prefer. In some circumstances you may find it good to remove the foot. The foot is very good for what you are doing. I have never been a logger, really, but I have cut several mountains of firewood.
Oh Sam 😮 … I’m so glad you didn’t get hurt worse 🙏.
Yes, Elijah certainly is a very hard worker ❤ He’s getting so tall too !
The almost a snake 🐍 was scary 😱.
The woods looks much cleaner now ; and how fortunate for you to be able to utilize everything on your homestead ❤🎉
Your boys are awesome, and so helpful!
I just love watching you guys. I have been unsubscribing to some channels because they are doing and showing things that seem inappropriate to me. But you are so down to earth and just plain old hard-working people.
We can TOTALLY agree with that! We completely quit watching and supporting channels that tend to be husband/wife that begin to objectify or illicit certain feelings with their thumbnails and the women. Not sure if that is what you meant, but it's what we see a lot of and have zero tolerance for. It's obvious what they're doing it for... clicks, views, money.
@@sam-and-angela That is not exactly it, but that would make me unsubscribe too. Some homesteaders are using controversial ways to get rid of predators. And they show it!! How fast can I unsubscribe? And one, in particular, is so proud of themselves for doing it that way! Many people commented and unsubscribed right from the get-go. And I was one of them. I want to see happiness!
Hi there
Hope no Walnut
Where were those gloves? ....LoL !
Cleaning up the downed brush and dead trees helps the health of the woods also lessens fire potential.
The lizard was a skink. We had blue tailed ones where I grew up. We called them racing lizards because they had stripes and were really fast
Fantastic raised beds. Where's the safety leg chaps while cutting those larger logs especially when cutting with the gas powered chainsaw I think you can't make fun of Angela anymore for her "safety sandals" 😂
❤️👍👍👍
Good work, you two love you both ❤
