We are a female couple homesteading off the grid in South Africa. We’ve had quite a journey trying to find our own piece of land and we’re still not there yet, but we’re co-homesteading on a gorgeous place in the mountains right now. We buy as little as possible, and make as much as we can out of recycled and thrown out materials. We do all things permaculture based and we’re doing our PDC in September with Geoff Lawton!!! We’re trying to get monetized on YouTube so please do subscribe! 🙏🏼

OMG!  Peanuts!  That's so super cool!  I bought raw peanuts to plant a year ago and due to some confusion they sat in someones bag for a month and got moldy!  I need to try again.

doesnt qllow me to vote on anything - or am i just dumb?

I started a channel to teach people stuff.  One of my early ones was for R.  She was asking about a carberator.  I have added many new ones showing the progress and what we are up to at the moment on the homestead.

Here is mine:

Nothing "serious." I'm intrigued by video production but daunted by the learning curve I'd face. Mostly, I use YouTube to upload 30-second clips of our homestead critters to share on my blog or in Permies' critters threads.

Hi Leigh.  I have visited your blog many times.

We made most of our videos 5-6 years ago when we were starting out here in Bulgaria - predominantly to use the videos on our website at alekovo.com - which we setup when we first purchased our core property in 2010 and chronicled our progress for family and friends.

Our youtube channel can be visited HERE https://www.youtube.com/@Alekovo/

Enthusiasm for video making and blogging waned and dropped off for various reasons from 2017 as circumstances changed and family wanted less online information and presence, and for me a lot of negativity in our direction from social media (NOT from permies.com I can assure you).

After reading quite a few "success stories" from gardeners, permies, pig keeperss - success in monetizing their you tube channels I was very interested in trying to follow their leads but struggled with the workload and philosophies that |I read about - so never took it forward. But what I have always enjoyed is the feedback from viewers - either within youtube or from our blog.

After becoming ill in Spring 2022 I suffered extreme memory loss, in particular a lot of technology stuff ( I used to design and manage wordpress websites for charities, small business, etc in arabia, africa, egypt and europe) - as well as much other memories.  However, and surprisingly, my oncologist and neuropyschologist have recently encouraged me to take up blogging again as a strand of my "regenerative mental therapy" and I am really enjoying it - eaach old blog post and you tube video rekindles strong memories - and forces me harded to "relearn" how to do stuff - which is only good for me!!

I hope that when our birds start hatching later this spring, and our sowing and planting begins to emerge visibly, I will have the balance and dexterity to make more videos to celebrate.

Well done to everyone else doing youtube - would be nice to see links to some channels I havent seen.  ALl the best from Bulgaria!
