Homestead Overhaul: Creating a No-Dig, No-Till Market Garden Style Oasis!

Dive into our latest adventure as we transform a simple patch of land into a no-dig, no-till market garden style homestead garden, inspired by renowned experts like Conor Crickmore, Richard Perkins, Charles Dowding, and Jean-Martin Fortier. This short timelapse is a journey through hard work and passion, showcasing how we marked out our new garden beds, layered cardboard for weed suppression, and enriched the soil with a blend of local garden soil and nutrient-rich compost from our chicken manure. Witness the birth of our sustainable garden oasis, crafted over 12 labor-intensive hours across three days. Starting mid-season, the full glory is yet to unfold, but even the few plants we've nestled into this fertile ground promise a glimpse of the bountiful harvests to come. Stay with us at Five Acres to Freedom as we embark on this exciting journey towards a self-sufficient, eco-conscious homestead. Your window into a world where every shovelful of soil and every planted seed brings us closer to our dream of sustainable living.
