Hi Tiffany, Thanks for sharing your house and your yard with us. I appreciate 🙏 it, watching from Minneapolis. I am building at Prampram Ghana. I was advised to plant lemon grace and snake plants 🪴. They also told me to ask the boys to look for old car tires and burn it periodically. The snakes can't stand the smell of the burning tires. All of them and their babies will relocate far away from your location. I tried it, and it works.
Hi Tiffany. Your property is lovely. You were also wise and diligent to cut the bush around the edge of your property. The leaf-plant that you held is called the Milk Weed plant. It is seen as a very spiritual plant in West Africa. It is often related to or it is believed to protect the possessor and/or blind the possessors enemies. As one person told us, "they will see you but they will not see you". 😊🙏🏾🙌🏾 The plant does have health benefits. The white substance is the milk that is often used for skin infections or cuts. However, all parts of the plant can be toxic. Exposure to the plant and its milk in small amounts will most likely not harm you. Take a picture of the plant with your phone to learn more about this wonderful benefits. You can even use this video to copy the image and search for the plant using google lens. YAHs continued blessings to you. 🙏🏾🤗✌🏾
@YenkoAfrica Oh wow!!! 😃 Thank you so much for sharing this information with me. I had no idea of the spiritual or medicinal importance of this plant. So glad I didn't poison myself picking the leaf 🫣 I'll definitely do more research for sure! 😍
@@kanti8942 That is indeed a milkweed or at least it is most commonly known as Milkweed in West Africa and among the local people. I have had discussions with Ghanaians about the plant and they all refer to the plant as Milkweed. There are different species of milkweed. Please do some research including ching the indigenous names for the plant.
@@JourneyGurrl Hi Tiffany. Thanks for appreciating the information shared. I have shown the African Milkweed on my channel in the past. They grow in abundance in the area of Ghana that I am in. Take care. 🙏🏾
Cutting a few feet of weed around the perimeter of your fence wall is not going to do much to deter snakes. The thing that is believed to deter snake s is Bitter Kola nut/seedss So you can leave them around the entry points to your compound and using razor wire to deter snakes from scaling over the top of your fence wall. But snake encounters are so rare because snake are even less keen than you to have an encounter and are experts at hiding and moving stealthily. So in that sense they are not really a danger . When I saw the 2 loads of laterite you was hoping to use to level your land I knew it won't be enough. Why do you want it level? a sloping land can be beneficial in draining rain water away to particular part of the compound that you utilize the excess rain water.
@@proyouservicesltd3652 I think you're right about me not being able to deter the snakes with just cutting the weeds. I really want to remove all the debris on the other side and put down something that will keep them away. I'm definitely gonna look into Bitter Kola nuts. I appreciate the recommendation. And just to confirm, my house has had lots and lots of snakes 🐍both inside and in the yard because of the pond beside it and the surrounding bush behind. Very scary! 😨 And no, I won't level the entire yard. Just those areas that need extra fill. I'll try to find and upload a video showing those areas in the backyard and around my shed. Great advice about the drainage! 💯🙏🏽💫
@phreshpresh I paid approximately $675 for two trucks of fill dirt and 2 trucks of gravel. I don't remember how this breaks down in cedis, but my contractor "The Traveling Israelite" handled this transaction through his company. Please know that pricing fluctuates based on different variables, like the cost of gas ⛽️ availability and transportation. If you're in the Asebu or Cape Coast area, feel free to go to my contractor's YT channel and send an IM to see if he's able to help 😉

That's not a milk weed plant. Leaves of milk weed plants are very narrow and not like this plant
@@kanti8942 Good to know. Do you have any idea what it is? 🤔

@@JourneyGurrlgrow lemon grass around the perimeter to keep the snakes away. I learnt lemon grass repels snakes
@@kanti8942 Absolutely! 💯 This is definitely added to my snakes repellent list ☺️

@@johnampiah2110 Thank you! ☺️
Thank you for this video ❤ how much are the truckloads of gravel? And do you have contact info for them?

If you have issues with your foot, seek treatment in a hospital. Don't wait until it gets infected
@@kanti8942 Definitely! ☺️
