A little about us:
In September 2015, our hearts were hijacked with the dream of living on a large farm, with community, growing food, caring for animals and loving on children in need of care and healing. It was a God moment, where our dreams collided with His dreams… a dream so big we could never do it in our own strength and wisdom. Since then, we have been on a journey to see that dream become a reality. This channel documents that journey.

How much and how often do one treat a small garden.
What is the function of the pvc pipe system? What is it for?
Good afternoon from Auckland, New Zealand … 🙂🙂🙂
pretty good bro i learnt from you im going to try it here in australia on my homestead
Nice video. One important note, make sure you use sulfur-free molasses, or the sulfur will kill all the bacteria.
You don't need any of this… Grow Comfrey… Harvest 3 times, chop up leaves and stems. Throw it all in a plastic barrel, fill it with water. It's going to take a year to get your first fertiliser. Keep it going every year. It's the best liquid fertilizer you'll ever make. It has one problem problem… It stinks
Nice channel name, hello from a Christian fellow from Australia…
Good build. I made something very similar a few years back, put a tap at the bottom of mine & raised it off the ground. Makes for easy dispensing.
Missing something… How did you get the barrel to a rolling boil?
Amen brother i love it
tree sap woulb b a good natural glue
You can get 20 times more nutrition by adding
1. Gaukripa Amrutam
OR
2. Waste Decomposer – OWDC made by Dr. Kishan Chandra.
Both are almost free, but you have to culture them at your farm site itself.
Not only fertiliser you can make compost, growth promoter but also top class insecticide, virucide.
Can I use this as aeroponics or hydroponics system?
Nice going to make ond
Want to make sure nothing comes apart but can still be taken apart again get some stainless steel screws put them in each joint and it'll never come apart but if you need to change it just remove the screws and it comes apart easy
Before I got my rain barrels, I used to let the chlorinated water sit for a week in my shed before using it. Fill up the barrel and leave the lid off. No need for vitamin c. Keeping it in the shed Keeps the bugs and creatures out for me but you may want to use a screen if you have mosquitoes.

Would this work on fruit trees as well??
I love you for this
