Try to source a local raw honey and eat some everyday, it will really help with hay fever. The closer to where you live the better. It has something to do with the bees making honey out of of the same pollens that are currently affecting you. I’ve done this myself for four years now and the last two years I’ve had absolutely no symptoms of hay fever
Sounds great guys, well & truly on the home build homestead dream.
Next challenge look into medicinal value of herbs(weeds to most) eg. Stinging Nettle for allergies 😉
You guys have some big challenges ahead of you. However… your attitude, excitement, positivity and your teamwork will surely see you succeed. Looking forward to watching this unfold. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. 😁
Great news guys, great update 🎉
May you journey be full of nice smelly roses and small pepples that brings you nearer to the Father🎉🎉🎉
Plans and location look great. You are young , fit and sensible , you can do this ! Chooks – feather plucking, if they are eating feathers put a small pinch of salt in their water. If just plucking, trim their top beak. They will still be able to eat, but not have enough strength/ power to pull out feathers. Hay fever- mix a bit of curry powder in your food, curry powder contains turmeric and garlic, both good. A mixture of honey and apple cider gargled then swallowed isn’t just good for coughs/ colds but helps ease hay fever as well . Sniffing a hanky with a dab of eucalyptus or tea tree oil works for some people , others it irritates.
Local, raw, honey for hay fever. Use a plastic spoon though
Also red clover, clivers, nettle and calendula are good herbs to help you and milk thistle and dandelion to help the liver. Most of those you can grow yourself.
Eating local honey can help with hayfever because they honey is created from the same things that could be triggering it. It helps your body to build a immunity
I use chicken feet for stock 😊
I use modified wheelie bins for my worms. Plans on ytube
God Bless your family in Jesus name! 🙂 <3
I was willing to buy some land but luckily I found a house that was cheap and obviously land came with it but I’m learning a lot about renovating and starting a garden has been my new hobby, don’t get me started on the joy of germinating my seeds 😅
Do you mind if I ask what software or app you use to do the 3 D view of the plan?
you could build a small outside laundry shed or washer dryer in shed your planning, had my washer and dryer on my open carport house wall, was out of rain worked.
can you do videos on you veg pots mix soil in them sun amounts temperature if shade covers, bug control etc etc, in wa need Australian tips for Oz climate
Hi there your chickens need shell grit. That's why they are plucking the feathers. Shell grit is available from coop store. Or grain feed store pet store.
Hi to your family, thanks for another great video.😂 It is certainly exciting to see what is happening and see the plans you have moving forward. Blessings to you all.
We are building off grid in Tasmania! When dealing with councils, its costly, slow and sometimes they stuff up! When they do, it costs you, not them! Check and double check your paperwork!
Hay fever problem, use colloidal silver. Spray up nose, throat, even ears. It’s great. I have used it since cv. Any time my throat feels suspicious I use the Professional strength continually until I feel improvement, if you can find it.
Chickens can also peck each other if they are stressed. When I had 8, they pecked each other, now i have 6 they are calmer, and are not stressed over space or resources. Also I strongly urge you to plan out where your fruit trees will go now, they take a few years to get going, so you want them in first.
