Hearted Youtube comments on Anne of All Trades (@AnneofAllTrades) channel.

  1. I tell my students that FAIL is just an acronym for First Attempt In Learning. You look at what happened, think about what could be done better and refine the next attempt. I guess we could then go SAIL, TAIL, FAIL, FAIL, SAIL, SAIL, EAIL (that one doesn't quite work) NAIL, TAIL .... you see where I'm going. As long as you don't give up, they're not failures, but iterations of the finished product or process. Damo

  3. “Your show is fantastic! During your discussion about mycelium aiding soil aeration, it jogged my memory. After I mulched my garden with wood chips, I observed a significant increase in earthworms—a multitude of them! This spring, when I planted trees, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly my soil transformed. The earthworms turned the once compact lawn into a light, fluffy soil that I’m confident plants will thrive in.”

  8. I don't think you click bait. You have good energy. Happy spirit. Great educator. I appreciate you and your teaching. Don't even read the keyboard atrocities. Keep the good ignore the rest

  9. I started using cardboard 3 years ago when I learned about no till gardening with Charles Dowding. Didn't realize how much tilling disturbs the microbes, worms, and critters in the soil. I'm learning more and more about fungi, mycelium. Didn't realize that the white on the mulch was actually beneficial. Thank you for all the excellent advice! Happy "lazy" gardening!😄

  10. I have adopted some of your methods, like leaving the tool where you use it. I live in an RV park, the manager saw it and said, "Clean up this mess!" Then I explained why the tools were there, and she said, "Oh, that makes sense!" She has not mentioned them again.

  11. Rainwater harvesting in dry areas is important and a great way to go.

  16. When I've planted my trees I dig a large deep hole in a square shape. My local soil has a clay pan anywhere from 6-18" down. I backfill the hole with compost I make, then clean the roots and splay them out at the correct depth. I DO gently step on the soil to firm it up though. I mulch the top without the "volcano". I ❤ the cardboard idea. Thanks for a great video.

  17. Good job you guys! I can honestly say this has been the most helpful video I've seen on a step by step tiny house/cabin. Helped me a lot! Hopefully there will be an updated video of the final product here :) Cheers!

  19. A lot of these are coping tools I use for adhd lol, it’s taken years to develop some of them for me but it’s really starting to shine in my life

  20. Hahaaa.. great PERSONALITY!!!! Love working with people with an awesome personality. Makes the work less of a job Keep up the great work guys!!

  21. Instrumental music got me through college. It perfectly occupies the distractible part of my brain. Lots of great advice, but I think more people could do that
    28
  22. Simply, you are amazing. I wonder where you find the drive to do all the projects you do. Keep it going. We love what you do!

  23. I have been mulching everything this year because of Anne

  24. You are amazing Anne! No moss grows under you. You learn so much. No one will ever say you wasted your life. Respect!!

  25. I love your "Please Don't Get a critter" videos! They apply to every animal whether livestock or pet! With so many jumping into homesteading, small farming etc. I have seen so many animals suffer the consequences of owners who did not do their homework before getting them or maybe they just weren't realistic about how enthusiastic they'd be about doing the actual chores involved every day forever, no matter the weather. Realistically, people need to do their homework and really be honest about their lifestyle choices not only when considering what species of animal they want, but also what breed and for what purpose. If possible, they should offer to volunteer at a farm, rescue or with someone else's animals to do the chores and learn what the animals require in their area, what diseases are common and any other potential pitfalls. Even experienced people can make major mistakes when moving to another part of the country. Soils can be deficient in certain minerals, a common weed or fungus in the area might be a concern etc. Animals are a big responsibility and when you have too many they can become all work and no fun, so start slow and know your limits.

  26. Keep up the LAZY Gardener content! LOVE THIS! Thanks Anne

  27. I am overwhelmed by "lazy gardening!" You have an amazing garden. It is beyond my capabilities but it is certainly something to strive for and dream of 🤗💕💕

  28. Fuhgetta 'bout it.... won't matter what they think when you're enjoying your home grown veggies

  29. This was your AA confession that the first step to having a problem is to admit there was a problem. There are always problems to solve. Example WD-40, we never saw WD-39

  30. Great video. Excellent interaction and you can tell Daniel loves trees! "Only" five years and he has such an understanding. Thanks for sharing.

  31. Something that not many people think of for raising goats for milk, is the incredible demand in the raw dog food indurstry, especially for diverse species. Lots of dogs these days have food intolerances, and goat is something a lot of people look for, but have a harder time finding. Regulations on slaughter and processing are very different for animal consumption than human, and may be more accessible for homesteaders.

  33. You are an amazing woman! Today I watched your video about the upper floor that is sloping. This meant so much to me, way over here in a tiny village in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. My home (which I purchased 32 years ago!) was moved to this location in the 1940's. Many many changes, renovations, quick fixes and alterations have happened, beyond and in addition to any stress picking up a 900 sq foot home and moving it would so to a structure. Further, it was placed on a perimeter foundation (read as not a very stable situation!). Today I heard you say that a house will adjust to all of these things, settling into itself each time. Okay, I'm paraphrasing! But now I'm finally okay with "it is what it is", and I'm willing to work with where we are, and only change what is no longer working. Big sigh. I love this old house. I've replaced all of the windows with single hung sash windows which I made. I've removed a structural wall, and opened up the kitchen to the living room, creating a modestly 'great' room. I made all of my kitchen cupboards and doors from recycled and 'found' wood. I planned and stained and installed the 12" board and batten exterior siding, and cedar shingles. All of it has been completed on the side, while raising two boys. But I can't imagine a better more challenging life for my family! The entire house has 9'2" ceilings, and I've installed shelves for my hord of over 1,000 reference books at the 8' level. It's quirkie and old and set in its ways (like me!) - I'm about to turn 62. This old house i's also in the very best place I could think of for my family. I adore our small village of Falkland. My 3 year old granddaughter cheers every time we pull up - "Nanna! We're Home!" Thanks to your video today I'm happy to continue picking away and improving our little home, respecting it's settling and unique angles. Honestly, I do understand that my granddaughter will eventually learn that Nanna can not really control the roll of a ball with a wave of her hand. It's just how the floor slopes! Until then we will work and learn together. Hopefully, one day it will be her tricking a grandchild with her magic.

  34. This is such a wonderful project. I can highly recommend purchasing it! The instructional commentary is absolutely exceptional (as with all the Guild projects). That's what I love about Guild projects. Even if you don't need the particular project piece, the skills you learn through the videos are invaluable, especially for a newbie like me. No question they have made me a better woodworker. I'm excited to get started on the desk and will definitely be buying any future guild projects of yours!

  35. Actually, buying and planting a "more established tree" does not guarantee a better /bigger tree quicker. Typically, the small tree is when planted, it will outgrow the larger tree due to less "transplant shock" and root damage. Also, you can select for structure and then minimise the future pruning required

  36. Came here because of Joel, subscribed to learn some trades.

  37. Absolutely love this video. It touches on everything. Basic soil science, balancing the microrhizome and nutrient distribution, polyculture and companion planting. Best video I've seen in a long while.

  38. if anyone thumbs down this one, they don't have a heart

  39. We as humans need plants to survive, but plants don't necessarily need us. It's nice to see someone truly understand what nature really means to us and how grateful we are to have plants all around us.

  40. I subscribed for farming and woodworking....never thought I would be learning secret family recipes for pizza dough. But I love it!

  41. I use old shower curtains to drag things around the property -- compost mixes, tree trimmings, etc. -- like you use that kiddy pool. (Heck, if you look up my house on Google Maps, the current satellite picture was snapped while I must have been trimming the front bushes because you can see the shower curtain I was loading branches on clear as day. 😅)

  42. THANK YOU, So much for your honesty❣️It's so important to educate people on the importance of not impulsive purchases! Everything has its pros & cons, and you're one of the most fair and honest people that can keep others from heartbreaking mistakes. Please keep it up😇! Invaluable and priceless information about genuine animal husbandry, Great job, ma'am! 🥰🤗

  43. 10 years, and look how far you've come.....congratulations.

  44. Lazy gardening doesn't mean do nothing. There is this thing called LAND MANAGEMENT. You still have to manage and maintain your land. The land is just like children. If you don't pay attention to it and correct it, the land will get out of hand quick.
    25
  45. I completely agree! Working with nature, not against -- it's not lazy at all.😊❤ 💯

  46. Aw, I adore them. This is an extremely helpful video Anne, I watched a lot but none of them give this much info. I’ve learnt a lot, thank you.

  47. Rock salt that melts ice in the winters on sidewalks, mixed in water, will help keep fence line clean. Sorry don't know the ratio, but I begged my brother to do this instead of using chemical weed killing crap & he reported back it works if he mixes the rock salt with water & sprays it on.

  48. Those guardians are trained by experienced professionals since puppy days here in Germany. People in my area use turkish kangals, hungarian komondors and kuvacz and italian maremma as guardians against wolves. Personally I own icelandic and hungarian sheepdogs. The icelanders protect extremely well against birds and eat rodents. Good luck to you and wuff, wuff from my dogs.

  49. This is like heaven to me tbh. I wish i could have a farm one day.

  50. Anne. Thanks. I have no place for any farm animal bigger than a house cat but rather watch Anne of All Trades. Works for me.
