FREE PROVISIONING GUIDE
Pascale has put together a FREE 40 page Provisioning Guide. The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply. There has never been a better time to start learning how to increase the food storage potential of your home. I hope this guide will inspire you to make more informed long term provisioning choices for the future! For more information visit the Provisioning Page on our website ( www.freerangesailing.com/boat-provisioning ) or to grab a copy directly by clicking on the link below.

My Father was a super Gardner, he always told me to plant Potato's in the first full moon in September 🙂 good luck, well done on a great looking garden.
a permaculture course is worthwhile, especially about zones. if only one word of advice – MULCH
home grown rock melon is a total surpize of how farken amazing they can taste, wait till they fall off their stalk.

Weeds are never truly dead but they must be controlled.
Recovered paper and cardboards are likely to contain heavy metals, such as zinc, lead, cadmium, and chromium… perhaps it's different in Australia?

Troy may be too young for this tip, but it is worth remembering. Make a tea from your tarragon leaves. It is reasonably effective for prostate symptoms. Prostate symptoms are having to get up at night to urinate.
Good morning

Man drives tractor; woman drives rake and shovel. That's the way life should be.😁
Nothing like the aroma of sour cow crap to open up your sinus. Unless it's the smell of chicken crap that's been compacted in the chicken house for months.
I've Had a beer, but the world needs your kids, but if you can't I understand .cheer's Richard 👍UK
Will you consider higher raised beds to minimize bending and back ache? Any issues with critters eating the bed food?
Hello Troy & Pascale, I love all the ideas you are using in your garden, I’m sure you’ll have great success with your seeds. Look forward to seeing the progress in due course. All the best to you both from the UK.
Excited about your Hugelkultur experiment, I've always found that technique fascinating.
Troy, the bobtail looks to have a tick on his left ear. It needs removing!
I spent $40 one year to get $2 worth of potatoes. Very nice eating. If I planted the 2nd year I'm sure the crop would have been better. Maybe next winter I should try again.
Wonderful to see this process! My Conure sure enjoys the bird songs also! See you next week! Hello Mr. Brown.
You’re getting to have quite the menagerie. Welcome Mr Brown. The gardens are looking great. Hope they produce well
GL girl!
Gonna need lots of storage when potatoes are ready for harvest. They multiply like rabbits….
At 16min put some spores in there.
Another great video, from a couple that can do just about anything.
I tried those bags to grow potatoes they say u get 40 pounds not even close I might have go 2 pounds .
