This stopped it blowing away!

We absolutely adore our tunnel house, but making it wind proof has been quite a mission. Here I show you exactly what we have added to our norther polytunnel to make our new high tunnel windproof to stand up to hurricane strength wind gusts that we get some times.

Off Grid Baking Is HARD but this might be the solution

Просмотров 5006 месяцев назад

Baking while off grid is really tricky without a gas oven. So this might just be the solution to baking food over fire without using propane or other gas options. Tonight we are having baked chicken in the free slow cooker outside.

We weren't planning on getting a house cow for a long time on the new off grid homestead. And yet here we are, building a cow milking shed. I have decided to attempt to do more vlogging style videos because life is pretty busy with a new baby, but I am missing my RUclips community! #offgridlife #homesteading #nz Buy Merch (and support our channel) here: www.redbubble.com/people/Fantail-Valley/ ...

This design survived hurricane winds

Просмотров 7819 месяцев назад

We have been inundated with heavy gale force and hurricane strength winds in the last month, and I have managed to come up with a low tunnel design for the garden that not only keeps the birds off the garden and keeps them away from the seedlings, but it is a windproof low tunnel as well. This simple and cheap garden hoop tunnel is easy to put together and it really does work. This is where I g...

Why we bring home ROADKILL

Просмотров 859Год назад

Road kill is probably one of the worlds most wasted resources. Apart from feeding those other animals that prefer to eat carrion rather than catch something themselves, it usually just goes to waste. We have a great way to use this waste stream, while also feeding and improving your garden production! Buy Merch (and support our channel) here: www.redbubble.com/people/Fantail-Valley/ You can fin...
