We are building our dream garden! Our goal is to grow enough food that we can save thousands of dollars at the grocery store. And we're doing it by building a "hugelkultur" garden. If you're not familiar, that's a gardening method that's been used for centuries that takes advantage of rotten logs, other plants and debris to give the new plants nutrients, heat and it retains moisture. So basically like a supercharger for your plants! So we know what you're thinking: sure we're saving thousands of dollars, but it also costs us lots of time and money to build these gardens. A simple wooden beam for a raised garden can cost $20-$200 per board. That is, unless you source milled wood! Milled wood is much more affordable, and once you build the gardens, you can use them for a long time to help offset the cost! Plus, we finally took the advice of our very own Pack, and got a Gorilla dump cart (thank you for the comments and suggestions)! So once you have the gardens, how do you get the food?! Simple: just use the roots of plants you're already buying! Old potatoes, lettuce, onions, etc. These are all things you can just keep growing in your new garden. Plus now that we have green thumbs (😉), we remembered to use fertilizer which should really kick our growth into high gear! And we even got our green house prepared to help us grow food in cycles. Are we missing anything? What other tips do you have? Please comment below!

Our Journey! How did we get here?
In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods on the East Coast of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we're so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!
