How To Turn Your Lawn Into A Garden - Dear @JerryBanfield - 20 SBD Contest

in homesteading •  7 years ago 

In 1 day you can trade your lawn for a garden!
Here's the steps. I did it last season.

It only takes 3 tools and little labor of love.

Imagine how proud you'll feel eating from your garden.
Trade you lawn for freedom.

THIS IS A CONTEST!

On Steemit I want to make real change.
Here's something you can do this weekend. Make a positive impact!

Share this video!
Let's make a LAWN MOVEMENT!

I'll give 20 SBD to anyone who digs their lawn like I did in this video.
You plant your lawn. You comment with before and after pics. I send you SDB
(Verified photos only. No funny business. haha)

Watch the video... Dig and plant your lawn... Make 20 SBD!

Credit goes to my lovely wife @lifemovedbysteem
She takes care of our garden every day.

I'm so excited to see this! What an amazing project.
Yes. 20 SBD is on it's way.

It's hard to explain how happy I am to see Steemit making positive change like this.

You did a wonderful job on this project.

Do you mind if I feature your article in a video?

thanks bud was really good fun doing it and of course you are welcome to feature it in a video that would be cool :)

Awesome. I just wanted to make sure.

I'm headed to shoot my video right now.
I'll make sure to put your link in the notes also and try to get some people over to your garden post.

Awesome. I just posted the vid. I hope it sends a couple people to your page.

Thank you for the shoutout and I hope to do this sometime "soon"!

I'm honored by your comment.
Your simple post inspired 3 full lawn to garden transformations.

It's great to see the power of Steemit in action.

Thanks for your time Jerry.

Very nice and inspirational! Our current garden was a lawn last spring, but we are moving our garden to a permanent location next year. I love it!

Awesome. I love to hear about people going for it with gardens. I'll check out your page to catch up. Nice to meet you.

Oh, we don't post, we just upvote and comment, trying to help build the homesteading community.

I saw that. Great.
I really appreciate your support.

That was cool. Already planted some in the front part of the house which I already made posts in Steemit. :)

Awesome, I love to hear about this community Gardening and Steeming. Nice work @zararina.

Thanks! :)

YEA!

Cant get to much of content like this!

I have done this MANY times!

Full 100% UPVOTE for sure!

SteemON!

Plants and health are real wealth. Love, family, community. Reality.
Cheers.

Excellent contest. I've already got a half acre vegetable garden so I won't need to dig up the lawn just yet. But if you only have a small garden I would totally recommend this.

I hope @Jerry Banfield bites the bullet and enters your contest after his recent video.

Wow, a half acre veggie garden is a ton of food.
I really think gardens are an important step towards personal freedom.
It's so easy to take food for granted. (Most of my life).
Your garden sounds like a beautiful thing. I'll be paying attention to your posts. Thanks a lot for your comment.

I would love to see some lawns get dug up on Steemit's behalf. It would be amazing.

Awesome contest and great way to push the no-lawn movement. Mine was taken out last year. I'd actually only kept a little bit to move the chickens around on but the hens (plus two female dogs) equal ruined grass. So I dug it all up and put in raised vegetable beds and now it's my main harvest area.

Why put SO much time and effort into grass?! We need food and flowers!

It's the truth. Lawns are silly.
At my sister's house, they won't even let her put a garden where her lawn is.
Oops. I guess she picked the wrong neighborhood.

Glad to hear about your garden and animals moving along nice where grass used to be.

Wow. That is insane about your sister. There are some really stupid zoning laws.

It was the same at my parents new place actually. Their front garden was zoned as grass and had to be maintained now higher than 'X'. My mum talked to the neighbours though and she's now gradually planting apple trees into it.

Awesome... I will resteem. upvoted

Cheers. Thanks my friend.

I did this last year in a small space - we grew tomatoes, potatoes, bell peppers, and and green beans - I love gardening - we are moving to a place where we will have a lot more space for gardening and we can put our trees in the ground too. We compost a lot and our compost makes REALLY good soil - I'm looking forward being able to have a larger garden -

Oh that's fantastic to hear.
The move to your new place sounds like it will be great.
I remember my grandpa's wisdom.
He said, the first thing you should do when you move into a property is to plant trees.
Looks like your right on track. What a great feeling. Congrats.

@mwoodall It looks like I might be spending time in the front garden today to switch it over to a veggie patch

That would be fantastic. I would love to see your work.

@happymoneyman,
Actually I hate to lawn the garden! Don't get misunderstand what I said :D I hate lawn, coz of f**king village dogs! They will make it as their toilet :/ So, now I am planting vegetables!
Anyway, this is a great contest! Really appreciate your work my dear friend!

Cheers~

Haha, yes! I have the same problem. Dogs and cats.
A cat has actually been digging in my fresh soil and using it as a toilet also. Ahhh.

Make sure to take some pics if you make a garden. Steemit would love to see it.

sprinkle used coffee grounds over the soil to deter cats and its good for the plants :)

Oh wow! I've actually been having a huge problem with a cat using our potato garden as a litter box. I really hope this tip helps.

We love coffee too, so no shortage of used grounds. Great info. Thank you.

@happymoneyman,
Ha ha ha :D Cats are making mine bombs :D They hide their sh!t :D Sure I will upload few photos in sooner!

Cheers~

Brings back great memories of my father's veggy garden when i was growing up. I can't plant a garden but i'll help you eat it......

Haha Great.

Ok, please let me know your secret. What program do you use for your cartoon pictures.
They're so great.

It's a free program at bitmoji.com that lets you create your own emoji in the chrome browser.

Wow. Solid tip. So cool. Thanks for letting me in on your secret.
Cheers.

I'm more than happy to share my secrets with you. I've learned a lot of great stuff on your blog. I don't know what you use for fertilizer for your crops but you should check out seaagri.com for their sea-90 product.

@happymoneyman - Oh Sir, this is cool. I will post few photos of my garden :) Very interesting work you are doing Sir.

+W+ [UpVoted & ReSteemed]

Fantastic. I would love to see some pics of your garden. Cheers my friend.

Happiness will grow if you plant the seeds of love in the garden of hope with compassion and care.

You can also take the end around.
Plant seeds of hope and compassion in the garden of love and receive happiness.

Thanks for your poetic thoughts.

First time I saw you with that hat off, damn your bold! Haha xD

Haha Yes! I boldly bald.
Not afraid.

I joined the club not long ago :P Although I still have a small layer, didn't like the feeling of pure boldness ^.^

Yea, my hat began as a practical matter. I needed shade or I felt like I was melting. Haha.
Now, it's taken on a life of it's own.

I'm very happy to find you again taking care of nature and spreading love!

You are an example for many of us!

Enjoy @nature.art!

Be love!

Thanks for you wonderful compliment. I appreciate it.

Nice! It is a little harder out here in Arizona without a lot of irrigation!

True, and succulents don't feed you. Time for the AZ rock garden.

Yep! LOL

Just came across this. I will definitely be giving thus ago.

I would love to see you give this a go!
Let's make it happen.

Check out @owenwat.

Wow...amazing idea of digging to make a beautiful garden..thanks for the helpful tips @happymoneyman

I am a fan of gardening and love of doing that too..
GOD BLESS BRO!

Gardening is a wonderful way to connect. I love to. Bless you.

Yes indeed..at the same time we earn and save some money,no need to buy at the market anymore.

And the best thing you know that you're eating is fresh good and clean!

Eating healthy is empowering.

Absolutely right!

Health is wealth @happymoneyman

Thanks to that beautiful words..

It took me a long time in life, but I'm finally realized health is the only real wealth. Mind, body, and soul. It's so important.

Hehehe...but it's still you made it sir!

Cheers!😊😊

Nice contest. You are really helping the community

WooHoo. Let's hope so.
I one person plants a garden, I will celebrate!
Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Minnowpond... more like garden pond.

I should have seen a friend who planted flowers on his lawn. And I do not have a garden, I live in an apartment :(

Yes, people who have a lawn are blessed. They should appreciate it and use the land for something better than grass.

Hah.. Never knew that @lifemovedbysteem is your wife..
Excellent combination💑 @happymoneyman..
Cheers..🍺🍻

Thank you. Yes, she is great. She does a ton of work on our homestead and keeps things going. It's a wonderful combo.

Man, I wish I had a lawn. Well I hope you'll do this contest again in 20 years when I can afford a house :))

Yea, it's crazy there is a lot of people in buildings with no lawn these days. I'm lucky to have some space. Imagine all the people who have space and don't use it. It's unfortunate. Thanks for your comment.

You have done an amazing work wow its was absolutely amazing thanks for sharing :D i loved the video

Thanks @blazing. I hope this one gets someone to plant a garden. We'll see...
Cheers.

Nice one @happymoneyman ive been wanting to get a new veg patch dug for ages and this has motivated me to do it now, hell.. no ones ever paid me to dig my own garden before! :)

This is fantastic! Great. I can't wait to catch up with your post. I'm away from home now, but at the end of the weekend we'll catch up. Awesome!

Glad to see what you've done. I really happy to help be a little tipping point.

Please visit to my blog friends

I found your channel through your reply. This is a really interesting idea. Nice to see you tear up the yard with gusto. I would do the same thing, because I love getting in the dirt. The smell of fresh earth is extremely refreshing. Except my family hates it when I make a mess with digging through the lawn.

good post

Thank you kindly.

I like your post

Thank you.

Yes.

Gardening is great work,thanks to share video of gerdening
