Cutting Firewood To Improve Our Gardens

Cutting Firewood to Improve Our Gardens

That might sound a little strange! After all, how does cutting ones firewood improve one’s garden?

Great Question! Glad You asked! 

I think this Video will help explain it better…

So, gardens need fertilizer, the more natural that is the better, water of course, and sunlight! Over the past couple of years we’ve worked tirelessly, Ya! Right! I think tiringly would be a better word, if it we’re actually a word! I’ve got it to a point where the soil looks good, we make our own compost and have manure and we have even added water hoses. Yet, the gardens still aren’t growing as well as I’d like. Although they are improving, making gardens from woodlands means they are still surrounded by Trees! Trees are great! Problem is, the tree canopy’s block sunlight! So, cutting the trees around the gardens open up the gardens to more sunlight! Thus, we’re cutting firewood to improve our gardens!

Floundering at Briden Farm

Flounder Fishing

Ok, so it’s not as bad as it sounds! Nor is it exactly at Briden Farm! However, recently, we did take a day to go floundering, or flounder fishing! It’s something we both really enjoy and we were accompanied by some new friends. Being a fourth generation Guide it’s rewarding not only to catch some fish, and put some in the freezer for winter, but also to see others catch them as well. The photo above is from those our friends took while we were fishing. 

The Video below is one I did, mostly silent, except for the Chicks chirping in the background! The video is very graphic and shows how I fillet flounder. It really gets to the guts of the matter! So not for the faint of heart! 

Would You like to go Flounder Fishing? Hire us to go with you and teach You how we catch flounder. In our past two trips we’ve caught over a dozen flounder and got about 6 pounds of Fillets. We can’t promise the fish will bite, but it’s seldom we’re skunked. We fish an hour or two, take a lunch break and spend some time on the beach, and return to fish for a couple more hours. Interested? Want more info?

Growing A Self Sustaining Future

Creating Compost

When we think of growing self sustaining, we often think of gardening and the meat we can put on the plate. However, to be truly self sustaining we need go deeper than this! We really need to begin and work from the ground up! For only then can we truly become free! 

We need to produce our own fertilizer, preferably natural fertilizer, and develop our own food and feed. Without fertilizer, without the ability to create our own fertilizer we will always be beholden to others. Dependent on the System! 

Perhaps that is why it gives me such immense pleasure to see us turning animal waste, manure, hay, etc., into well developed compost. It will in turn be used in our gardens, and eventually to help grow livestock feed! 

While manure and compost may not be the end all and be all, it sure does provide an uncanny sense of accomplishment! Just knowing we’re that much closer to being able to grow our own food, and survive when the crap hits the fan! 

Creating Compost helps a Self Sustaining Future
