- In episode 16 of The Farm Hand's Companion Show, Pa Mac demonstrates the basic ins and outs of growing a vegetable garden, including laying off rows, planting, and cultivating the garden plot using all types of methods: Human power, draft animals, tractors, and tillers. Learn a little about soil fertility and soil improvement using homemade fertilizers, dealing with threats to your garden plants (ever try to keep deer or crows out of your garden?), as well as three basic purposes of an organic vegetable garden for the small farm or homestead.
Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a small farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)
Also visit www.farmhandscompanion.com to find articles, posts, photographs, and encouragement for today's self-sufficient farm or homestead. (And be sure to check out the General Store for books or DVD's by Pa Mac at www.farmhandscompanion.com/gen...)

I love that contraption of a tiller, priceless! You have such a wonderful, kind and clean sense of humor, it is very much appreciated! Thank you and God bless you and yours.
When I was apprenticed at a nursery , the first job was hoeing and , strangely enough , the advice was the same , you're out here all summer , use all of the handle . As it turned out , it was a great way of learning about the different plants . Great video 👍🇬🇧
I always laugh a lot watching your videos but it's not just fun, there's so much precious info with it. I didn't expect it would be the scarecrow that set off the alarm. Now we're in fantasyland and it was a poetic, surreal and unexpected "dénouement".
When sowing seed, back in the day here in England, the saying was
'One for the mouse, one for the crow, one to rot and one to grow'
Really like these old style videos.
👍
Thank you Henri, and thank you for watchin'
this is one of the best video on homesteading and gardening i've ever seen !! superb
This video is Encouraging, Enlightening, Funny, Peaceful, Engaging, and Educational. Your video touched our soul. My wife and grandkids are inspired by it. Many thanks .
I appreciate that, jim. Tell everybody Pa Mac said "hey!"
Each time you post a video, share a tale, enlighten us all, the world is a brighter, better place. Such a joy to watch these snippets of folk treasure.
This channel is so valuable. Thank you for the humor, effort and passing on a forgotten wisdom and way of life.
Land is a real form of generational wealth. It provides your descendants with the capacity to carve out an existence and an income for themselves. Combined with time, effort and knowledge, a family can go far. It was a real treat to see your family pitching in at the beginning. There's mroe to learn form this video than just gardening. Thanks for your efforts, I'd love to see your channel grow more in the coming years.
I appreciate that, Ben
Your videos are so full of knowledge and done with a wonderful sense of humor. The garden looked very healthy as a result of all your hard work.
Thank you, Marcia.
And thanks to everyone else for watchin' and commentin'!
I am so pleased to see you post again I have been waiting (somewhat impatiently I admit) for a new one. I understand why it takes you a while to put them out with all of the work you put into each one, I can't imagine how may days it takes you to make a video. Thank you for sharing I enjoyed it tremendously and it brought a smile to my face after a very long work day. It makes me want to get into my garden again, but of course I have to wait till winter is passed. I will probably watch this one again in January as a gentle reminder that winter will pass at some time.
Love that tiller! That was genius humor!! The time and effirt spent in every seen you do is amazing. Ive watched every video. Your the best PA MAC!
Man I have to stop holding my breath waiting for each video but they are honestly that good!! Another memorable video watched by my wife and I . Great great stuff 😁
Hey Joel,
Thanks for the kind compliment which I surely appreciate.
I'll get all the shows out eventually...so just keep breathin' nice and normal.
(Maybe if I held MY breath I'd get some of 'em produced quicker.)
farmhandscompanion haha, the wait is no problem at all, we take notes from a lot of your videos for our own property. Great stuff, well worth the wait 😁👍
I absolutely enjoy watching your videos. Not only are they reminders of the old ways that I grew up knowing and gotten so many ideas that I have been able to incorporate into my current sustainable practices, they remind me of the old Charlie Chapman movies I grew up watching. Absolutely hilarious and definitely a choking hazard if I happen to be watching while eating. 😂😂😂😂
When I see these pop up it instantly adds sunshine to my mood, thank you!
Loving your videos. I admire how much effort and passion you put into everything you do.... especially video editing/filming!
I salute you kind folks for the sensible knowledge and comedy of presentation....
A very enjoyable and entertaining view of a traditional gardener and all his woes
Oo. That dousing gag got me good. Best laugh I've had in a while.
Oh how I remember helping my Aunt on Grandma's farm in the kitchen garden, she could lift a tomato worm with the hoe, drop it in the walk path and chop that thing in two before you could blink lol. She taught me how to use the push plow, check for corn smut and what to do about it, make kitchen scrap compost, so thankful for those days, and not just the work but the peace and quiet on those summer days, except of course if the Cicadas were 'singing' then that's all you could hear lol.
Thanks Pa, yet again a well made fun vid, it's 4.15 am here and got up wantin the loo, saw my puter light up and tell me you had another one up! quickly awoke "she who must be obeyed" as she also really loves your editions, couldn't go back to bed without watchin it completely, well done your garden looks great! BUT YOU ALWAYS LEAVE US WANTIN MORE!
another great video...again lol. always waiting to see you put out another gem. love the the scareclone and I just can't get over your tiller. it's just great. keep em coming. it's also great that the family gets out and learns too. can't have too much knowledge about simply living. thx for the video
I'm Brazilian and I really like your videos, I watch them all!
Acabei de conhecer o canal, e é realmente incrível o que ele ensina e o humor junto!
Hello, from America.
Rewatching this video and I noticed one of the old pictures at the beginning comes from a cotton farm in Mississippi County Arkansas near Blytheville my home town. That is a well circulated picture of a land owner weighing cotton sacks back when cotton was still picked by hand. The land owner’s family name is Nelson and this picture was taken in the early 1900s near Half Moon, AR! Glad you included it in your video!
What a pleasant late night surprise to see a FHC notification! As always, an informative teaching video done in a very entertaining way. Quite a gift you have sir! Thanks for the awesome video. Already looking forward to the next one.
Always good to hear from you, Happilyretiredmark!
I have so thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos. Some, ok - most of them I've watched several times. You are right when you said much knowledge was passed down word of mouth to the next generation. Problem is my parents didn't want to farm and thought livin' in the city was success. So, I grew up eating tv dinners, Betty Crocker cakes and food out of tin cans. Today there is a growing trend of people wanting to grow their own food but those who could teach them are gone or up in years. I thank the good Lord for people like you who want to pass on knowledge. I know I'm missing a lot with videos, magazines and books instead of hands on instruction but I'm trying hard to learn through trial and error. I'm no spring chicken but if my grands have a prayer of learning I've got to learn and hope they keep on going after me. With that said I took a huge leap of faith and moved from 20 years of backyard tiny gardening to 30 acres of brush, briers and trees. Not sure if that was a smart move considering I'm 62 years old but it was a smart move for my grands. I might die just trying to get the land ready but the grands and my sons can take it over and make it a small farm, if they chose. Thank you so much for all you do to teach others. You are a blessing and I appreciate you. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
Always a pleasure to see a FHC video in my subscription list!!
I have a memory to share! I would watch my grandfather sow seeds by hand in his garden . He never bent down, that I can remember. He held the seeds near his waist in front of him real steady, and walked right above the prepared row, which was a shallow trench with some soil mounded up on both sides. Dropping the seeds one by one or several at a time, they fell right in front of his feet into the trench. He then kicked dirt over the seeds with one foot , then the next seeds with the other foot, alternating as he walked. He barely made any extra movements with his feet, just the little kick and then stepped on the covered seeds and kept going. He seemed to have a knack for minimizing the time and physical labor, because he had a lot to do.
And I firmly believe he could drop em exactly where he wanted em, Patty.
I love hearin' little remembrances like that!
I love your video just wish you made more of them. I like the the last part where you work with god hand and hand in the garden. that a big AMEN Brotha
This might be my favorite video!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Mine, too.
Don't tell anybody, though.
fantastic content. Wasn't sure i'd like these videos at first without the speech, but it turns out I've grown to love them more than the ones that do! I didn't know about the wind and cloud cover for frost. great tips. From sharpening and using a hoe, to tips and advice, don't leave anything out you think might help us! thanks for your work and content FHC
Thank you so much for continuing to watch, Gregory. I'll try not to leave anything out!
I’ve planted quite a few fruit trees. Many of them never bore fruit. I did however plant some muscadines. They exploded out of the ground and gave me far more fruit than I ever expected. That was in Southeast Alabama.
Wow! So much great information in this one! I'm a new homesteader and I know almost nothing about it. The gardening part is something I obviously need to learn but it just seems so hard to me. I do much better with the chickens and ducks. lol Your dousing tool really worked as you found plenty of water!
Enjoying your videos. I always find it amazing how much you can say with out words. Perfect. I have learned a lot.
Thank you!
Thank YOU Robert
You are the best farmer on TH-cam!!!!😇
I am still building my garden and these videos you make gives me such great ideas. And entertaining they are. I just want to hug your scarecrow! Made me chuckle a couple times. When I was just a little bitty kid I learned from my grandparents. Now I watch videos and learn. Thank you for a very informative, entertaining show!
Like always, it's a pleasure to watch your video's. They are one of a kind. Greetings.
I was so happy to see you had posted another video, I love each and every one, thank you! I think I'm going to make myself a 'scareclone' next year!
Thanks for watchin' the show, Crafty War Crone!
(And try to remember where you leave your scareclone)
Came across this today, not sure if it was pure entertainment, or lots of hidden info too. Hilarious! Thanks, laughing at ourselves is essential.
Happy for the new video. Thank you.
Nice. Wonderful presentation as always.
I'm surprised I didn't see your sprinkler trick mentioned in the frost chapter. Glad to see you back again. Thanks for another informative and entertaining look at how you done things.
Thanks to the family at Lolita's Garden for watchin'. And yall keep up your great videos. I hope everyone takes a gander at 'em!

This was delightful! It reminds me of how we gardened on the farm where I grew up. Partly the old-fashioned tried and true way of push plows and mules and partly the new fangled way of tractors 😄I'm a new subscriber.
Thank you for subscribing, Deborah
@@farmhandscompanion you're most welcome! Looking forward to more videos😄
Amazing :)
