About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

The biggest tip I have to share is to get into your garden EVERY SINGLE DAY! Your feet, hands, and eyes are your biggest assets to know how your garden is doing from day to day, catch any issues BEFORE they get too bad, and ultimately grow your best garden.

This is especially important as you’re testing out growing different varieties (as you’ll see with our garlic) to know which varieties do well and which ones you may not want to plant again.

#Gardening #GardenStrategies #SuccessfulGarden

Today’s episode is all about planning. In the past I used to jump right into things, and often pay the price. Especially when dealing with 13,000 square feet in a home I OWN, I want to make sure I think through everything that’s going to be built on the property.

First up, storage. I have a 1 car garage that I’d like to turn into a workshop eventually, so I need storage on the property. My current “shed” is a 9’x7′, about 60 sqft less than the maximum unpermitted size of 10’x12′. So the shed has to go, a new one has to come in, and that new one needs a better location.

I also share some thoughts on the preliminary design of the orchard, as well as the front garden.

As always, any suggestions, leave them in the comments…I’m learning as I go!

Ariel has been homesteading and living off-grid in a 24’x8′ tiny house for 6 years! She grows, forages and preserves as much of her own food as possible, she cuts her own fire wood, carries her own water, generates electricity with solar, and cooks with propane. She is a passionate backpacker and wildlife photographer who works part-time on a ranch in exchange for a place to park her small home, and she also works a variety of jobs to earn money, although her expenses are very low since she isn’t paying rent, and since she managed to pay off the tiny house several years ago.

You can follow Ariel and her self-sufficient off-grid homesteading adventures on the Fy Nyth blog and YouTube channel here:

We are super inspired by Ariel’s simple, disciplined, and sustainable lifestyle and are so happy to have collaborated with her on this video! Ariel provided all of the footage and photos for this video so that we could put it together. Thank you, Ariel 🙂

Thanks so much for watching!
