I hauled some more mulch and compost to amend the soil and start a no till garden combined with the square foot garden method.
I am sharing our videos and articles from the time we moved on to our new 18 acre homestead to the present. This will give you the background to our story. When we get caught up, I will continue to share our daily videos and articles as we make them.
We had to till the soil this one time to break up the earth and destroy weeds. Then we tilled in some aged compost to get some nutrients in the otherwise pure sandy soil. This will be the only time we till our garden.
We are combining the back to eden no till garden method with a modified square foot garden method. The back to eden method uses compost and mulch to build up the soil through the years. This adds nutrients and blocks weeds.
The square foot garden method uses 4 x 4 foot square garden plots. We took out the pathways in between and use 4 foot wide plots. This allows to plant more in less space.
I put the mulch on the garden pathways to prevent weeds from growing through. This gives us a nice place to walk on as well. And as the mulch breaks down, it adds nutrients to the soil.

"They are out to destroy me in real life as well as online."...Troy has gone nuts people. He is delusional. He is seeing things in the shadows that are not there. He is thinking thoughts that are not normal. He is either gone completely nuts or trying to create more drama in the hopes of increasing views, sympathy and donations. You all can decide for yourselves.

Been waiting all week for approval. Took most of morning just to log in. I don't comment on YouTube because of a few bullies that are allowed to comment. Not sure if this is worth trying to make money as mr Reid suggested. The script here does not reflect the videos.

And I would advise you do NOT engage the trolls.
It seems that YouTube has changed the block feature and it is quite pleasant recently. At least I cannot see anything at all.
So "a few bullies that are allowed to comment" I dont get either?
What bullies? Are trolls still commenting?

Troy, You blocked anyone on youtube that made you think and you took it as a threat, in reality we tried to help you and you crapped all over us, now we are here to get the word out about your fraudulent ways.
Do a google search on Troy Reid and type Australia, read the news story where he claims to be a survivalist yet can't take 80F temps, its actually funny, even the news reporter is making fun of him.
And after you read that story you be the judge, then go to : Thedoityourself.sucks and read more about his blunders, He is not a do it yourselfer either, he is clueless and a fraud

As previously promised Troy here is another short story about the displaced NYer now residing in Michigan . How the two fellows met and aided each other in their times of need . Let us begin shall we .
Our hero was building an empire in a beautiful meadow but he was a hoarder . He loved to collect junk . Driving along country roads gathering broken treasures left abandoned . Over time his findings grew to massive proportions . Junk piles everywhere among the 50 or so acres . Junk piles upon previous piles . Some items hadn't seen daylight in millennia . Needless to say our trooper was ashamed by the spectacle before his eyes and needed a solution to his cleanliness woes .
In now steps Nicky Neckbrace ( will now be identified as NN ) How the two met is open to speculation . Chances are they met at the local coffee shop . After a little casual conversation a light went on in the mans head . It was apparent NN was downtrodden and later revealed to be disease stricken . That light grew in intensity , slowly and ever increasing to a point it distinguished the sun above . Here , right here , standing before him was the answer to his prayers .
He will give NN shelter : An old decrepit motorhome to rest his weary bones after a day of toil .
He will give NN food : Scraps of edibles left over from his very own table .
While NN brings order from chaos to his empire our hero will put to film the stricken blokes daily struggles to right the wrongs his hoarding had brought forth . Between naps , hydration breaks and food consumption our hero video taped NNs achievements cleaning the dumpstead to it's former glory .
But alas , after many months the task proved to be overwhelming and was doomed to failure . As with all hoarders our hero continued to add MORE junk . Not that NN was an incompetent worker . Hell no , the poor fellow toiled from sunup until sundown . From behind spotless windows our hero witnessed NNs daily accomplishments , periodically offering a little encouragement in way of prayer . Our hero was forced to flee from this unfinished endeavor and abandon NN along with his ruined meadow . Forces at work made living at the property unfeasible . Why you ask ?
I will supply you with answers to the hero's flight in the next installment .
Did you enjoy this story Troy ? I want your honest opinion .

You know, you have some serious writing skills. You really should apply them to making some money honestly instead of harassing me.

Then its home from home for you Troy, you know all about vermin, you live with it, mice rats, ticks you’re the vermin expert, you live and breathe vermin because that’s what you are, filth, pure filth pure vermin. You were warned about joining this place but you went ahead, silly boy!

I've noticed that too. Why is there a mouse problem in both houses? You are living there plus a cooking show and processing tomatoes and salsa? Now you want to lure the mice into the garage? No interest in an exterminator?
