I’m convinced I’ve found the modern day Gandalf the Grey! Your knowledge is mind blowing for me, even as simple as it may be lol. My boyfriend found your videos and now we watch them together! Thank you for everything you’ve taught us thus far and for what is yet to come
Wonderful! Welcome 🤗
I thank you from my very soul. I hope at some point you can read this. I am a city girl who has been crusading to increase gardens and raised beds in my city (New Bedford, MA)...as a descendant of Novia Scotian farmers I have been raised with a deep respect and love for nature and all the abundance offered by nature (given that we do the work). I spent my entire Saturday watching your videos as a way to educate myself so that I may be able to share it with the next generation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I have definitely subscribed. You have a bright soul, a great sense of humor. These videos make this way of life fun and interesting. Your humble spirit adds a brightness to this world. Not to mention your kitchen, garden and workshops are dope as heck! Blessings brother and keep shining for the world!
-Thank you.
Respectfully,
A star sister.
thank you sister 💜🫵🏻
❤love the energy. It makes me miss my mom. Who was a most awesome weedy gardener and orchard BOSS. She taught me how to do all things homesteading. I’ll never forget the weeds above her head , coming out of the garden holding a huge squash yelling out’ EREKA . A huge smile on her face. ❤
Thanks for stirring memories. 🙏🏻
Wonderful video, Weedy! Here’s to
Another great harvest, 2024!
Love your videos, Weedy!❤️🇺🇸🥰
Thank you so much for your big hearted approach to the garden, kitchen and self sufficiency. You make me smile every video. ❤
🥰Thanks for your energy and your creativ and calm way to introduce your garden to us. My grannys weren't thus great gardeners but a neighbour was. When we where making Sauerkraut she always told me: If you have to put water then you didn't squeeze the Kraut enough. The Kraut likes to be treated hard.🤣 Every year I remember this since beginning to make my own Sauerkraut as an adult. And it makes my arms hurt every harvesting season.
Your granny said that. My followers are saying the same to me now 😂🤣🤣
You are the Bob Ross of gardening! You are a joy to learn from ☺️
What a rocking video 😜 thank you!
Thank you for sharing.weedy garden.
It is a pleasure 😃
I’ve been to a food market recently and the lady I picked up the carrots from told me that she eats the tops with eggs. Just mix eggs together first then put all together in the pan with some olive oil and salt maybe some pepper. Amazing. Highly recommend it 🌼 thank you Weedy for the content it’s inspirational and we feel the love 🌼
Weedy, you are bloody brilliant. Bloody brilliant human being. And your garden is also bloody brilliant. Thank you, friend.
Oh my gosh another Australian I enjoyed this thank you Mate 🥴
Thanks Weedy for your beautiful videos! Also some advice from a real Kraut( I’m German): the apple seeds have even more pectin (also citrus fruit pips etc), my grandmother put them in a muslin cloth and boiled them with the fruit. Caraway seeds in your Sauerkraut are not just for flavour, but also help with digestion ( you don’t get so gassy!)😉😘
Just be sure you don't use too many seed. Apple seeds have a trace amount of cyanide in them, and it can be lethal if you consume too many of them if the are crushed or chewed. Keep in mind that the lethal does might be up to several hundred seeds, but it can vary from apple variety to variety. You can never be too careful.
Thank you Weedy, love your videos. Heard you shouldn't heat honey? Thanks again.
I think that`s true, but you need to eat about 1250 kg of apples to die from cyanide poisoning, so you would die from gut explosion before you died from poisoning ;-)
Well, that might be because it kills the bacteria that keeps honey "alive", but we want it for the sweetening, not the preserving. The heat is the preserving.
@@johnmartin2845as a beekeeper can confirm: heating above 40C kills all the enzymes from honey, the good stuff. But taste stays the same if you do not heat it too long.
Weedy, please be careful when pouring hot water into glass jars. I boil jars on the strove starting with cold water to sterilise.
When glass changes temperature rapidly there’s a possibility that it can shatter. Glad this hasn’t happened to you but is something to keep in mind.
Amazing videos though! You are such an inspiration.
Absolutely something to be careful about 👍
U and Geoff Lawton are a ray on wisdom in this noisey world….I’m living in a concrete jungle and working the 9-5 zombie grind and can’t wait for the day I can start my on off grid permaculture homestead
właściciel tego kanału to zwykły produkt jaki i ty produkujesz w swojej betonowej dżungli... przepraszam cię ale z mojej polskiej perspektywy wygląda na to że to zwykły sprzedawca który nie ma za dużo pojęcia o tym co robi... działa widać tu z prostego powodu czyli jest popyt(na teki temat) jest i podaż ;)
cwany gość sprzedaje ci marzenia a ty je po prostu kupujesz ;)
When I have seen jars of pickled veg it has always been a single type of vegetable. I think that making jars of mixed veg pickles is an absolutely brilliant idea. At some point probably half way through a jar of pickled beans you just get tired of eating pickled beans!
That’s what I was thinking too! 😁🫵🏻
Ever had a giggle over the use by date on Himalayan Salt David? Supposedly million year old salt needs a use by date. 😂🤣
I never noticed there was 😁
ALL commercially packaged consumables are required to have a “sell by” date, even bottled water. It’s not an expiry date.
that kruat nail hole with the tape is genius, genius!
😛
The rocks are genius!!!!!
Perfect timing. My favorite person making the most relevant video for me.
I loved this video! Thank you
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, my friend. The attention to detail and creative flair make each one a standout in its own right. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Your videos are epic feature length.
Fancy pants kitchen😊.
I just put my Kimchi into a metal bowl. Add water and salt and let it sit under a tea towel for 4-5 days. Turn it daily to prevent mould. Then I bottle it and put it in the fridge.
Lemons are also delicious fermented with tumeric or ginger
I will try putting it in the pantry. More room.
You can also turn fruit into mead, wine or beer.
My mother taught me to use oven to sterilise jars and lids and keep them hot til being filled😊
Agree, and boil the rubber rings if you use those the kind of jars
Your oven doesn’t get hot enough to sterilize neither does your dish washer, despite what the dial may indicate. It’s a science thing.
And it’s no longer recommended to boil the rubber rings, it breaks them down.
All of your food safety temperatures need to be reached during the processing phase.
By all means, make sure everything is clean, run things through the sanitizing dish washer mode, but sterilization is science, not what our grand/mothers taught us.
E.g. flipping a processed jar upside down - how I was taught - actually reduces the chances of a safe seal.
To save time massaging cabbage for sauerkraut I use my Kenwood mixer with the dough hook to do the work. You just need to be careful not to overload the machine at the start. Saves the arm muscles!
Beautifully shared preserved for all generations to enjoy
Thank you Weedy 🙏
I love your kitchen layout. The windows surrounding the cooking and prep area are wonderful.
I was told the cabbage should not touch metal. So I use glass bowl and wooden utensils. And I use raisins instead of apple for pectin.
Love to watch your stuff and share with others . Thank you ♡
Making these simple & easy on the budget. Said with a mellow voice. Amazing.
Your healthy plants reminds me to go back and relearn how you prepared the soil.
❤ You weedy!! Bit of a crush on ya too xo Love ya work!!!
Thanks Weedy for this informative video. Your videos are a delight to watch always and I feel quite excited when I see a new one pop up on my feed. Cheers and happy gardening and eating! 😃
Where has this channel been my entire life?!! Wait did he say broccol eye
Broccol(I) not eye. Maybe it how they say it in australia.
Ah, even though the gorilla has evolved and come into the kitchen, rubber gloves are too much of an ask! My grannies would say good food has to be touched with loving hands, so can all those grannies and gorillas be wrong? Saurkraut and kimchi need hand massaging. So no gloves, but perhaps a Weedy apron for either gardening or kitchen work would be good merch?
Even a preserving video is perfectly composed, and presented to tell a beautiful story of abundance; preserving and enjoying it all year! Thank you for sharing.
thank you for the lovely video😊😋
My pleasure 😊
Your a breath of fresh air bloke 🌎🎨🌻🐝🐾🍻🥃🍺🤙🤘🐢
Thanks fella 🎥🦍🇦🇺💪🏻🍓🥦🌶🥕🍌
Dave I agree without you even having to say it that Sauerkraut is TONS of Work! I made it at 3% & it was way too Salty for my Palate, but I didn't let it Ferment before I tasted it either. I ended up using the Pestle directly in the Jars to compact the Cabbage! As much as I like to be Self Sufficient & Recycle etc I think I'm happy to pay the $3 a Jar for someone else to do it(or until I find a better way) as there's not enough Hours in the Day for me!
przeraża mnie to jak wy podchodzicie do kiszenia kapusty... jestem z Polski i kiszona kapusta jest u nas popularna a wiedza o kiszeniu dostępna... nie próbuj kapusty przed kiszeniem! po co? bo za słona??? w procesie fermentacji ta sól magicznie znika ;)
tu film z Polski jak prosto i łatwo zrobić kapustę kiszoną w słoikach:
th-cam.com/video/nT7ozjWzrIY/w-d-xo.html
kiszenie kapusty jest dość proste i wcale nie męczące... zwłaszcza w małej ilości do słoików...
Nice !!!! Love it 😊
Thanks for the advice Weedy, great, beautiful and practical video!
Thanks Weedy for another great video with lots of great ideas 😊😊😊
Appreciate all your comments Lamplady 🙏🏻
Hi David, Great video and important information 👍

💙🌟✨
Thanks for watching!
Love your channel.
Glad you enjoy it! 👣🦍🎥😃
I would also highly recommend making kimchi if you grow Napa cabbage (or whatever you might call it Down Under). I make a “Quick” Kimchi recipe: I use about 5 large heads of cabbage which makes about 5 to 7 pint jars. Cut up the cabbage and put it in a tub (I use a medium sized plastic washtub purchased at our Chinese grocery store), sprinkle some (I just eyeball it because I can adjust later) NON-iodized salt (Kosher salt; iodized salt will ruin it) over it & toss it around with clean hands. Cover & let sit about an hour or two. It will have quite a bit of liquid at that time - don’t pour it out! While you’re waiting on that, cut up some spring onions (green onions): somewhat thin slices, or chunks for the white part and about 2” lengths of the green part, add a couple (or more) cloves of minced garlic, 2 to 3 tablespoons of minced or grated ginger. Add it all to the salted cabbage and mix with clean hands. Taste for salt; add a LITTLE more if needed. Let that all sit for another hour or two, then add a bit (to taste) of Chinese chili paste. I use about 2 to 3 teaspoons, for 5 heads of cabbage, because I want it medium spicy, not hot. Mix well. Pack into clean (sterile) glass jars. Add in liquid from salting tub until veggies are all covered. Refrigerate. You can eat some right away, but it’s really great after 2 or 3 days. Will keep for maybe a month as long as there’s liquid covering the veggies. Not sure how long, because I’ve never been able to keep myself from eating it all in a week or two. It’s great as is, in sandwiches, over rice, in soup…anything! You can also add Bok Choi and/or slivers of daikon radish. Add with the second bunch of veggies. Yummy and easy!
Excellent video
Weedy, greetings from Trinidad in the West Indies! I love your videos. One very important point...I strongly suggest that you stay away from teflon cookware and lean towards more natural materials like clay and glass.
You videos are an inspiration to me and my off-grid efforts. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Nice one! Was watching this while eating homegrown potatoes with goat meat from a home butchered goat. Nothing beats homegrown 👌😋
Nice touch with the sweat wipe in between 🤣
Weedy's cooking show 😊
Oh yes!
Sauerkraut for me is much less hassle somehow :) I salt and massage it for 1-2 minutes and then let it rest for half an hour or so. At that point, I massage it again, within a few minutes all the juices have come out and it's ready to jar. I use 2% salt ratio, no LAB starter. Careful with the hot water, I would say, as it will kill off any bacteria... If you need more liquid, it's probably better to use a brine of the same percentage. But that's how I do it, not the only way of course :)
Agreed with the hot water in the sauerkraut, I would worry that it might kill off the good bacteria. I also usually add a saltwater brine of the same percentage. Also, I’ve had great success pounding the cabbage right in the jar itself! Just add a layer of cabbage, and sprinkle on some salt (and whatever other spices you like) , pound it down and keep going with more layers! Easy peasy 😊 Thanks for all your wonderful videos Weedy, we appreciate you!
Hey man, I've been following you off and on since you started with your channel, I'm catching up on the latest 5-10 videos... You sir are an inspiration and I am actually a little envious, thats jealousies healthier cousin. 😂
No, I just really enjoy your content and giving you props. I love gardening, and I'm learning more all the time. I see myself doing something similar to you here in the states. Buying a decent house in town, but dreaming about off grid... Peace and love fellow human brother.......... 😊
Keep up the great positive progress
Thank you Weedy love this video ❤😊
Inspirational yet again, thankyou. Made me hungry watching.
Such calming energy.
Very very nice video! Great Advice and great presentation!!
Love the flaxseed tip…thanks Weedy.👏👏👏👏
Hey Weedy! Lived the video. That kitchen would make being in there a joy! Thank for the top to make the ferments breathable. The tiny hole and tape. Been looking for the fermenting Lisa in hardware stores. To expensive. Thank you! Till next time! Have a good day.
Great video!!
Mmmmmmm!!!!!
here we always get a nice return visit, delicious quality content in high quality. bows and thanks nicely
I don't know how I haven't come across your channel before now! I am so thrilled!! Thank you! This is the first video I have seen of your content. Thank you for sharing. So glad I found your channel! Can't wait to see more. I'm in the U.S. and our zones and climate may be different but I'm thrilled and can't wait to see more.
Many thanks for taking the time to teach us these storage solutions.
David in the UK.
No worries David 🙏🏻👍
Thank you!
Ah, flax seeds! I will give it a try. I will try chia seeds too. 😄
gr8
never heard of microporetape nice tip!:)
😎 COOL MATE GR8 2 SEE A FELLOW AUSSIE I just made ❤❤a pumkin sauerkraut with garlic and Chinese cabbage ,COS last year I did a beetroot one and left it for ages also added Alspice to it and seriously it was the nices one I hv ever made ❤😊🎉
SUBSCRIBED 😊
I just found your channel…I am in love…where have 😂ou been all my life?😊❤❤
As usual mate, rocking like a river rock star. If you haven’t tried it, look into fermented garlic in honey. Real easy and a great salad dressing
You are the cutest man in the whole world! Really enjoyed this video :) You've got me inspired to try all the things 👍
If you use only water and salt without vinegar than you can do fermentation. But you must put them to refrigerator. What I know you must boil when the vegtables in the jar. But it kills all the bacteria. My opinion is fermentation is much better. Because you don't put vinegar and also no need to sterilization. So you don't kill the good bacteria.
Great recipes. This is what true abundance looks like. Thanks for sharing.
OMG the micropore tape is genius!
thumbs up!
Beautiful, as all of your videos! I love them!
I totally fancied what a friend of mine said. She said, if you make cheese at hime,.after a few times, the enzymes colonize your kitchen , so you will only have to leave a cup of milk on the countertop and it turns into cheese itself. Just by the "flora" you introduced into your kitchen. All plants have their own flora, so do all places have. And create their very special flavour cheese, fermenta or sour dough.
Brother i love u r videos
Thanks other brother
This year was my first time caning. I made pickles, and jams with honey and other ones with maple syrup.
the cabbage can be chopped faster the pickling process will take place you can add grated carrot to it ... I use a large 5 l jar I pour the shredded cabbage with small portions of salt and beat it so that it releases the juice until it is full and cover it with gauze then for 3 - 4 days I make sure that the entire content it was under a layer of cabbage juice. After these 4 days, I put the cabbage into 1 l jars, I close them with a simple cap, I keep them in
in a cool place, e.g. a basement, it can stand up to 2 years.
juice you can drink is good for You .
Nice tips. ✌️🙏🏻 Thanks 😃
Great x😊
So enjoyed your video! I can’t wait to try some of these preserving techniques.
New to your channel and i absolutely love it
