We are starting our organic homestead garden early this year. We just moved to Michigan and one of the first projects is to get the garden area tilled.
We hope to provide all the food that we need for a year out of our own organic garden.
I tilled the soil in a 30 sq ft plot for now. I managed to till the area two times before running out of gas in the tiller.
Many of you may remember this old tiller that I restored last year. I did not even run and the engine was seized up from mice living inside it. Now it starts right up and runs well.
I will till the soil another two or three times before we plant. We still have frost in the mornings out here so we cannot plant yet.

Any soil additives... compost wise?

Yes, since it was nearly pure sand I later hauled in 21 truck loads of aged composted leaves and organic material from a neighbors place. But those videos are on the way :)
I am hoping to get all my videos from April to the present caught up on here so people have the full story. Then I will carry on with my daily videos here as well as I make them each day.

My neighbor? We became pretty good friends over the weeks it took me to haul all that stuff.

Very true. I am trying to connect with people in the neighborhood. Back in NY people did not talk to one another much. Here in MI, things are different. We bring a pie to our neighbor and the neighbor brings over old tomatoes for the chickens. Its the old ways. The way things should be. I love it here.

You're making progress on the new homestead. Keep trying new things, some will work, many will fail. If we never fail, we never tried.

Are you going to up-vote all your own videos, Troy?
To those thinking of watching the "Organic homestead garden" videos, don't bother. It was a massive failure. All he got was a few buckets of tomatoes and a few french beans. Everything else died, some things more than once...
The man is an idiot, but nothing is ever his fault. It's always someone else...

We had peas and beans galore. We had zucchini and are still harvesting it even now. We had some chili peppers but I am not sure if I showed them on video. We are even now in mid October harvesting tons of tomatoes and processing them. Just put away multiple cans of mincemeat pie filling. 6 pints of ketchup. 16 pints of salsa. 7 quarts of tomato sauce. Going to get another huge harvest tomorrow if my leg gets better. Oh, and all the herbs we need. We grow our own. And all the lettuce this year from our own garden.
If thats a failure then I sure am happy to be a failure :)
But again, that is all on video. Anyone watching this video, stay tuned. I am uploading all the video from April to the present. Lots of exciting things to come.
