About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

My husband has never been a hands on guy. He was a detective for 26 years and always hired somebody to even mow the lawn, after watching this he says he's ready to make these because you explained it all so well.thank you!

This is one of the most helpful video's. I am a widowed woman have been for some time. My husband died in 98.
And this was our dream to go off grid. Except he got cancer and died at 32 when my kids were 6&8. My true love. I am still single kids raised. Never an easy moment and never a dull moment. I don't know how I managed. I am getting on with your help and I am so grateful.

Doug you’re a great teacher! God bless you and Stacy!

[hollindorf]

Doug, the amount of information you can pack into a video is just amazing!

[matthewblackwood]

Just a tip from a 25+ year machinist, never let you tape measure slam closed, it will stretch the holes out that hole the end piece on and it won't be accurate anymore and will get off more and more every time you let it slam shut. It is designed to move back and forth exactly the thickness of the end of the tape to allow for inside vs outside measurements. Have a blessed day!

Our tomatoes and peppers went CRAZY this past year. So big, so heavily laden with fruit that it took 2 people to harvest. One to hold up the vines and the other to harvest. Learned our lesson on quite a few things this past year! I also made raised beds out of the lumber from our back porch that I tore apart. Maybe not the best choice but there were over 200 boards that needed to be repurposed. I am a repurposing fool!

[jessicabybee]

It's currently winter right now but watching this video gets me all hyped up and ready for the spring! I cannot wait to build my raised garden beds!! Thank you, Doug and Stacy for your tips, tricks, and advice! I cannot thank you both enough...you both have been such an inspiration to me!! God bless you and your family!

[scrunchiesllc]

Goodafternoon,
Your are a blessing for all humanity. Thank you so much for all the hard work, dedication and valuble information you provide us, may GOD our father bless you, your wonderful wife and family 🙏

[txredkim]

I build my beds exactly as you do and I agree that raised beds are fantastic! It's also easy to turn them into hoop houses and protect seedlings from frost

[lisamcdaniel]

This to me is the best thing video it shows you how to begin your growing your own food. If you don't have a good foundation to anything you do than the end product is not good I cannot wait to make my raised beds. Thank you.

[martaaberg]

The general rule for the width of raised beds is that they be no wider than you can reach into the center comfortably. For most women, that's 4 feet wide. If you can't get to both sides, the recommendation is for 3' wide, unless the person taking care of the beds has a longer reach. Your raised beds are so beautiful! They'd be a joy to work!

[najruqwi]

great idea putting the hardware cloth in the raised beds!

[childofgodyhvh]

Thank you Doug for the valuable tip of using wire type mesh at the bottom of the garden bed, followed by compost. I agree Stacy, organic matter top soil is best. I like the " lasagna method" of layering with branches, green plant waste and scraps; and compost. It keeps my soil stable, nutritious, and the roots well fed. I agree Doug, crop rotation is important for mineral mix. God bless. 😇

[anniemae]

First time grower here. I DO NOT like dealing with the weeds. LORD willing, I'll do beds next year.. thank you for all your tips!!!

[arepurposedlifewithlaura]

I needed this. We're building 8 new raised beds for Spring, we have too much gravel in our soil in odd places. Tried growing in the ground this year and it was hit or miss with the gravel, but my 2 raised beds did terrific. Rabbit poop is my secret sauce.

OFF GRID with DOUG &STACY, thank you for sharing your video 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

[jSheapullen]

You both are famous now to me and my husband...I've read some of Joel Salitins books and we went out of our way to go meet him when we were in West Virginia! Wish we could go to your homesteading event.thank you all for the great information you guys are so organized and putting out all that information must be a lot of work! Have a great homesteading day!!

Starting my path to Self Sufficiency. Thank you for leading the way.

[marysimpson]

I appreciate the simplistic way you explain how to build and set up your raised beds to help any novice jump right into gardening for the first sharing the importance of hardware cloth to keep the critters from digging up the plants root system.
