We are homesteading and lost our garden three times this year to nature. Its our first season on the new homestead so it took us by surprise. We are trying to become self sufficient.

@thediyworld, Homesteaders should know better, besides, you claimed back in Pine Bush you were gardening your whole life back in MI.
Nobody loses a garden 3 times in one year.
Nobody.
Funny thing is, two days before the great summer deep freeze hit Michigan, Turd videos himself sprinkling caustic fertilizer on top of the leaves and burning the shit out his plants...
Also note, the electric fence never worked either.
Besides, those don't stop a deer from jumping, or Troy from touching it while going over it.
Just another PROP on the On Grid show.
No rain and no irrigation = dead plants.
Troy Reid + plants + animals = dead plants + dead animals
He had his very pregnant wife carry the heavy water as he made a video. Only a selfish husband does that.
every type of fertilizer a vegetable garden needs can be obtained FREE from nature with a little hard work but Mr. Off grid DIY man uses store bought stuff. He doesn't appear to think his videos through until he uploads them and sees how foolish he really is.
You were told MANY times before you planted to build a large hothouse over the top of your garden. You declined. You were told repeatedly to haul in soil for your overly acidic soil. You declined. You were told repeatedly to go to the extension office and pay the $10 for a proper soil test so you could prepare your garden bed properly. You said "no." You were told repeatedly to learn how to make compost. You didn't. You were told you needed to prepare a garden calendar and grow crops at certain times of the year and with different life spans so you could avoid problems with the cold. You didn't. You were told to make a greenhouse to grow you seedlings earlier. You didn't. You were told to cover your plants at night with plastic before they froze. You failed. You were told to fertilize. You only did so AFTER the plants were in the ground. You were told to put a real fence around your garden to protect it from critters. Instead you installed your stupid electric fence that didn't stop anything except maybe deer. You were told not to introduce MORE acidic content to your garden. But you didn't pay attention and put pine chips and needles in your garden despite pleas not to do so. You were told you couldn't plant corn so late. But you did so anyway. You were told to prepare a root cellar like any REAL homesteader would. You didn't. You were told to install a sprinkler on a long hose at your garden. Instead you had Melanie lug water to the garden every day. You were told so many other things by experienced gardeners and you heeded NONE of their advice and could not cite any reasonable source as to why you didn't and shouldn't. You lack even a modicum of gardening and farming skills. But you blame nautre. That's rich.
People giving Troy good advice makes him feel uncomfortable.
This guy needs to cut back on the ICE.
Dance Turd....DANCE!!!!!!!
No, you lost your garden three times because you aren't very bright and you were ill prepared. Don't blame it on nature, Mr. Master Michigan Gardener.
with google and your "close" friendship with the "awesome" neighbors I would think you would not have to experience the number of "surprises" at your "homestead". My neighbors would clue me into such things to help save me the devastating blow of losing a garden 3 times. Sounds like they either don't like you or they enjoy watching you fail as we do.
