The self-watering system can save time, money, and most important water in your garden! We have been using this system for decades and has proven itself every time to be effective and cost-saving. Once you set it up it can be re-used every season with no effort.

The self-watering system is great if you are not available to water your garden every day. The water wicking and air pruning function along with the self-water system enables freedom from watering every single day. Fertilizing can be done right in the self-watering pipes, no need to fertilize each plant.

Grateful for everyday living on the mountaintop in our transformed log/farmhouse. We offer food from scratch, handmade DIY, old-timey skills, and simple living for 2!

We still love to do everything we did when we had a larger family, only in smaller portions. We love to cook, bake (even on a wood stove), make DIY projects including sewing, weaving, and home renovations, and enjoy everyday living in our log/farmhouse on the mountain ridge!

We still practice old-timey skills that we introduced to our children as they were growing up and homeschooled almost 3 decades ago.

Some of these skills that we, as empty-nesters, are still using: soap making with lye, hand-dipping beeswax candles, dyeing textiles, rendering beef fat into tallow, canning, dehydrating, and preserving foods, hand-hewing logs, making homemade natural cleaners, bath soaps, and more.

Follow along and join our community. We offer a newsletter to all our blog subscribers each time we upload new content.
