I'm Anne of All Trades. In NASHVILLE, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. Whether you've got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you've always wanted to do, everything is "figureoutable." I became "Anne of All Trades" out of necessity. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break, and build the things I need. 8 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.

Your videos make me feel like I have a cool aunt or cousin teaching me directly about these farm skills I don’t yet have but need for our move next week to 6 acres :) thank you for doing what you do!

I live in Florida and have problems with chronic fatigue. Our sand, full of root knot nematodes, bull briars, and sand burrs, is really difficult to grow in. The labor is difficult for me, so your relaxed lazy gardening style gives me hope that I can do this!

The way you explained compost in this video makes it make a lot more sense to me.

I wish I had this much energy! You are living my dream with all of those animal helpers. Love this video and thank you for the tutorial. First I’m gonna take a nap. lol!

[shaunamaness]

I just found your channel! You are a phenomenal teacher- I’m going to use your videos for my homeschool science!! Seriously, you are so great!

Wow, that was great. Reminded me of my grandmother that’s exactly how she used to do hers. She didn’t have a box with a sieve on top. She used to use a wheel barrel, and my grandfather made a sieve that fit on top of it. She would then shovel it on top of the safe and spread it around with a small hand trowel. Very similar to what you do. My grandmother also used to compost her weeds. She once told me you have to compost them before they go to seed. However, you can compost weeds that have gone to seed as long as your compost pile is hot as it will kill the seeds. Enjoy watching your channel in many aspects, you remind me a little of my grandmother, and that is a compliment as she is the greatest woman I’ve ever known.

I like your take on composting. It's different from the way I learned from my grandparents but there is always more than one way to do everything.
