There is great wisdom is being bluer.
For those of you who do not know what “BLUER” means, it is an acronym created by @bluerthangreen which means “Building Legacies Utilizing Earth’s Resources.” You can delve into his understanding more in these posts:
As I continue to work my land and prepare an area for a driveway and house site, a lot of raw materials need to be removed. Far too often these valuable resources are just piled up and burned to get rid of them, but @papa-pepper has a better plan. I'd rather use what I've got! In the last video I shared about the bulk of the trees in the form of logs, so now I move on to the branches.
PART TWO - BRANCHES

Stay tuned as I share more about this mindset and project over the remaining two parts of this series.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
I think you really have taken the idea of stewardship that The Lord gave you and are applying in a way that will bless many generations to come. Keep it up!
That is the goal! Also, thanks fro the REAL COMMENT! I look forward to seeing you at the WISCONSIN STEEMIT MEETUP next Friday!
Thanks @truconspiracy!
Looking forward to it as well hopefuly many steemiams come.
Great infor to past along papa. Was it me or did I here a loud Cicada noise in the background of your video?
I though that was what it was. Heard that too, definitely different audio than some of the other ones.
“Building Legacies Utilizing Earth’s Resources.”
I like that.
or as we said in the BoyScouts
'leave it better than when you found it'
Yeah, I like that one too! Is that where that comes from, boy scouts?
As an Eagle Scout I think of that motto all the time @everittdmickey. It can apply to so many situations in life. It's a simple thing that feels so good, too leave a trail of improvement in your wake rather than destruction.
I'm a "city-slicker" in Tampa but I love what you're doing! I used to compost, and I've planted tomatoes, aloes, and some squash once. You could just as easily call yourself "papa-PREPPER!"
Have a great day! Keep doing what you do.
That I could, and you are not the first to think so.
What you are doing is great for the environment ,@papa-pepper , giving back to nature instead of destroying it
Yes, recycle what it provides to fuel its further growth and prosperity.
Yes sir, you are so right about that , and your contributions to mother nature is inspiring
Nice one bro keep up the good work
Thanks, I will!
good postt @papa-pepper
I feel like I can survive anywhere in the world watching your videos and learning about the life outside of NYC. I used to live upstate and it was filled with forests and it was difficult, now I feel like I could just go back :D thanks for teaching us new techniques about homesteading everyday
I am glad to hear that the adventures of my life bless you!
Thank you for sharing it with me.
@papa-pepper!
I watched and read your blog, it's interesting. Upvoted and resteemed.
Thank you for that! I am glad that you enjoyed it.
Are you new here?

Good thing you included proof of branch
Now people know that I'm for real.
Soak some of those branches to weave into garden fences!
That would be cool!
Those are really creative ways to use those branches and the shredding machine is God send :) Thank you for sharing
Yes it is!
Thanks for sharing. Great idea using natural resources for mulch and compost. No chemicals and better for everything it's used on and around. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see more of your progress for your homesite. And great video, glad you were able to get a wood chipper to help with your driveway and homesite.
It is going very well so far, and we will keep it going!
It's wonderful that you are doing your due diligence and thinking of the many ways things can be re-used in constructive instead of destructive ways. May God bless your homestead @papa-pepper! All the best
Thank you for that so much, and yes, He is blessing it day by day!
Great!!! I think become "bluer" is very great! When I lived on the mountains I used to collect branches because they are excellent to light the wood-fired ^_^
Mulch is a good thing. When I saw the title I thought you were going to make a natural fence by putting in wood post and weaving the branches between them. But mulch makes more sense. It is important top build up your soil to give it the nutrients needed to grow your food. And you don't want poison ivy around your little peppers.
At the Papillon charity we have the saying; "Use and make do with what you have to improve the lives of others" As you might know, small charities are not well supported, but over the past 16 years this has worked for us! Great post and great ideas! Congrats!
Shared to show folks to use it all for the betterment of their own life (with food) and the planets! Another awesome post @Papa-pepper!
Great video @papa-pepper, I loved the info, but the sweeter sound was the cicadas in the background...music to my ears!
You are a wealth of information!
Thank you for taking the time to create this article. Always great to get insight and help for newcomers like myself!
I am your follower and I will be thankful if you give your precious Upvote to me.!!
I like the steem powered wood chipper. Every homestead could use one. The Cicada noise in the background keeps it real. The mulch is an added bonus to cutting the trees. Fire wood and mulch!
Firewood and Mulch! So far so good!
wow

I just cleared out some branches from behind my place today. It would have been great to have that steem powered mulcher!
Since I didn't, I just did my best to cut them up into manageable pieces. I then spread them across the forest floor to work as natural mulch for the forest bed.
Very nice work.
Every time I read about what you are doing on your homestead it just struck me how lucky you are. Thank you for sharing with us @papa-pepper.
very good post i like this ,i am flowing you
nice atitude :-) resteeming u , my upvote is to low yet
Now there's an incentive to work harder on steemit! Most of my hedging is thorned so this would be its best use. A very useful, well=presented post, as they all are. :-)
