Such an inspiration to see you guys doing it. Love the 1-2 year plan and so forth. I think that may be where I need to start. My kids are now grown so doing this a lil backwards but I can’t wait to get our own land!
Great information!!! Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏼
My channel is small and I had a video that was blowing things up on How to freeze potatoes and helped me get monetized the problem is, sometimes the algorithm is crazy because they only suggested that video and people didn't see my other videos :(
Thank you. I just retired in Jan. 2024. We bought our 5.26 acres in Oct.2022 and moved from our entire city/suburban life in Vancouver to 80kms into the country. I have puttered on our unkept acreage and entertained the thought of a Utube channel. I have many still photos of our progress and have access to go-pro cameras now. Should I enter the family of homestead creators? How many hours a week did you take to learn how to edit videos? Once you learned to edit, how many how a week does editing take? How often should a video be dropped (weekly, bi-weekly)? Your honest/real demeanour is wonder! BTW: our farm’s name is Hidden Acres. Might be a good Chanel name as well 😊.
Harvest your peas when they are fully filled out and shellable. Don't leave them out there until the shells whiten or you will have dried peas, and they would probably be about the same as black eye peas. I prefer them green and I prefer Dixie Lee peas in our area of NC. Good job, enjoyed the tour and good luck!
hello can I help edit your videos?
Thanks for this! I appreciate your sincerity, so rare in social media.
The Hungarian wax makes EXCELLENT pepper jam fyi
Pink eyed Purple Hull Peas are actually meant to be harvested when they have dried on the plant. Then shell them and save. As a note, you really need to grow a lot of these to make it worth it. I think I would concentrate on green beans instead if I were trying to grow for preservation. You should consider your time, your space and your needs before growing a dry bean/pea.
@@andrewhammill6148 we’re growing them because they were a gifted local seed. We’re going to save seed and plant them in bigger patches in consecutive years once we set up the spaces.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this super informational and candid talk Mickayla! I SUBSCIBED and wish you to grow and ENJOY your life, everyday and creative life 🙂
Whenever you're out in your Garden, ALWAYS be totally barefoot because our soles love and deserve that freedom. They love to feel various textures of soil between their toes. Apart from n it's very healthy to be barefoot outside. Take for example two plants, one grown inside a pot and tge other grown in Nature. However much you water and use fertilizer, it never looks as healthy as the latter. This is simply because the roots have a limited space to stread and the Nurishment too is the same. The soles of our feet are like the roots of a tree.When you're not barefoot that natural process is obstructed. Our soles are designs to absorb things which are essential to lead a healthy lifestyle. However, use of footwear deprives this process. Apart from that there are a large number of Sensors / Nerve endings on the soles of our feet, which connects from head to toe. When we walk on Sand, Gravel and Tiny Stones /Pebbles,our entire body gets stimulated through these sensors. Once again Footwear deprives this natural process. So, go barefoot always for good health and happy feet and soles
@@superH3108 love this, and I do when im able to be very careful and keep an eye on where I’m standing, but we have very aggressive fire ants everywhere, as well as a lot of thorny weeds. Over time as we remedy our soil & build up a good ecosystem here I’m sure I’ll be able to do this more.
Hollar homestead Shout out and seeing you in that video is what brought me here... And i'm glad I did you have a good channel too
Ricki likes the corn 🌽 just like the lion 🦁 in the movie 🎥 “Secondhand Lions”😊
❤ Thank you for taking the time and sharing this content! I noticed that sponsorships weren’t added. I wondered if that helps as well as having an Amazon shopping link.
@@mvranch9753 correct, I didn’t include sponsorships on purpose because the numbers I’m showing are just based off of RUclips Adsense revenue in my RUclips analytics. Sponsors are definitely how some RUclipsrs make a lot of money & are able to make it into a more consistent income they can count on. We’ve only done 2 sponsorships ever thus far, and they were reviews in exchange for free products, not paid (ChickCozy & Birch Mattresses). We’re extremely picky with this. We want our channel to be a source of enjoyment, inspiration, and will only work with a company if it’s something we planned to purchase anyways, already use & love, and if we think it’s something our viewers would also be interested in. We get emails daily from companies asking to do brand deals & we just don’t feel right about making our videos into ads constantly. We also have an Amazon link, we’ve had it for a few years and have made a total of $21 off of it lol it’s really not our niche to push products.😆 i probably could do more of both of these & increase our revenue, but honestly it’s a lot of additional work to do brand deals & I dont feel like I have the capacity right now. I hope this helps explain a bit more. Thank you for watching!
I have never thought to ripen bananas in the oven, that's an amazing idea!!
love this! last year was my year growing those beans (peas) - I pick them when they're brown and dry on the vine.
Lol!! I have the same problem with my bush beans... Every year... Almost all of them are pole beans. This year I was sort of prepared for it and had it where I could run some strings. It is a jungle though. Sadly, most of my basil and the rest of the herbs fell victim to the crazy weather this year. Be well from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for your honestly around this subject! This year we started our small scale homesteading & our RUclips journey in Finland (just above 500 subscribers😅). Thinking how much we restrict ourselves from growing on YT when we make content only in our own language...thinking if we should be making content in english, althougt that might seem a bit fake. Any ideas on growing a channel when it's not in english?
If You install a Geo Thermal system don't make the mistake and make a radon pump and be subject to lung cancer. Use unperforated pipes and don't allow radon to enter the house.
I can't imagine videoing all my remodeling, gardening and all the things I do. I'm sure I would have made a lot of money but how does anyone have time!
It’s definitely something you have to be passionate about & dedicated to putting in the extra time!
Good hope Businesd go growing .
Loved the tour, definitely an inspiration as we expanded our garden for next years growing season!
Beautiful garden tour.
To be perfectly honest, I just found your channel and I absolutely love you both. Should you have waited? I don’t think so. You did what your heart told you to do, there will always be things to do on a homestead. As an outsider watching your journey I am proud of what you have accomplished, I will like subscribe and follow moving forward. :)😊 looking forward to all you share
Love your garden! Maybe you could feed the Dipper gords to the birds!
Since Im starting at the beginning, you may have already done this and I just haven’t gotten to it yet. Id love tips and tricks on growing house plants, especially succulents. 🪴
I appreciate your honesty in sharing your previous year income via your channel. I am setting the Vlog Playlist on Play All and letting it go all on its own to just play all day. I like to do this for upcoming channels to help them grow ❤
So mant people will subscribe because of you honesty!! Something sadly lacking today!
Thank you so much! A subject l have always wondered about,as so many gossip and speculate about income from youtube channel... I appreciate your honest approach. And your transparency to this subject. I hope you get a whole bag of new subscribers due to your being open about this subject as many wonder. Thank you and may you have fantastic growth🎉❤😃
❤
It’s never a fail. It’s just a work in progress.
Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate your honesty! 😊
I bet this one becomes your new most viewed video, new sub
I love this kind of content! Its really refreshing and cool that you break it down and provide transparency. A lot of channels seem like they just make a living from the youtube channel which is fine, but its nice to know how you can make it happen for yourself and seeing these earnings being shared is encouraging
This is so thorough! This is some great information! You got a follow from me! Now I'm going to go watch your homesteading videos!
The orange Hiwian Marigolds are my favorite, too. I plant them every year aside to some giant yellow Marigolds. Your garden is coming along nicely.
Very interesting to learn about second second cut straw. So good to hear about your melons! Squirrels got to ours and it was so sad to see our little watermelons scattered around our garden.😢 Have you tried electric fencing. It has kept the rats out of my garden and I am so grateful and it isn’t expensive. Yay to your 🌽!! So happy to find your channel!😊🌽🍅
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and your numbers! As a fellow RUclipsr, it is always so interesting to see how other channels do. We’ve been doing videos since 2016 and only dream of hitting numbers like yours! Interesting to learn that you make more money when a Premium viewer watches your videos (as I am a premium member and love not having commercials) I’m off to check out your channel because I love homestead, renovation, chateau shows. 😊🌺🌸
Adding you now because this video is awesome and realistic. Thank you 😊
Tip, doing an interview on your channel boosts your views.Mixing it up some.😊good luck to you.Also,going on other creators channels will also help.😊
Been binge watching (almost) all your videos the last couple of days. I've loved seeing all your progress with the land so far. Keep up the good work!
You should also make a video on how you edit your farm videos!
Beautiful gardens; thanks for sharing! Blessings 🤗🇨🇦
The harvesting videos are my favorite! You should be very proud of all your hard work in the garden as it is a lot to keep up with. Especially working full time like you do.
What a great video!
I just discovered your channel from this video! Ill go watch the rest to help out your channel. I was also wondering how much money and time do you put into youtube each month? Also do you do other stuff to add to the online income like blog posts or affiliate marketing etc?
Wow incredible garden!
Love the tour! All your hard work is paying off!! Gardening from the soul
The calico cow journey makes me dreams, saddly i'm a single dad so time and money is an issue for now but i keep getting knowledge and helping friends when i can ❤❤ And i liked the top 5 comment for the algorithme
Thank you McKayla, I will try this recipe!! ❤
