In this episode, we race chores, prune and clip tomatoes with compostable Farmers Friend clips, clear 100 feet of broccoli, garlic, and onion weeds, feed all that green matter to pigs and chickens, pull up weed fabric, reshape beds, add compost, and show the little efficiency rules that make big differences after 20 years of homesteading. You’ll see: • Why end‑of‑season garden work (even when you’re tired and hot) sets up your spring self for success • Rebecca’s tomato trellising setup and why those compostable clips beat local garden‑store prices • Justin’s “impossible” goal: clearing 100 feet of broccoli plus garlic and onion beds, flipping the bed, and composting—all in just over two hours • Cart‑placement and harvest‑flow rules, feeding pulled plants to pigs and chickens, and using four‑wheelers and wheelbarrows strategically on slopes • Collards getting cooked with onions, bacon, and broth, portioned into SuperCubes for winter, and Rebecca and Lily’s future gratitude to their July selves • Next‑day compost spreading, why wheelbarrows sometimes beat gorilla carts, and Beauty’s tidy, flipped bed with fence reset and a tarp‑based “fancy bed‑making process” for future hydrangeas If you want inspiration and practical tips for end‑of‑season garden cleanup, flipping beds, and thinking of homesteading as constant gifts to your future self, this vlog will walk you through the process step by step.
