Your videos are beautiful, how can you do these so well🤎🤎🤎
Been waiting for this one haha…i suspect I’m not in a spot you’d recommend…but 5 generations here so…
Haha On-a-nole (there’s a hill there, literally on a nole)…that’s actually a national park, very heavy summer population.
Your red circles are way too big for Manitoba, urbanisation drops off way quicker than in more developed provinces… Lots of homesteaders east of Winnipeg. Southeast of Steinbach is pretty much hills have eyes territory
Correct
Take the percentage and call a gauge
Are you planning on taking on Wisconsin? Northern Wisconsinite here, waiting with hopefulness
Finally! MB! Thank you!
Keep avoiding Newfoundland interesting
You get better bang for your buck in Manitoba, compared to say, Ontario.
In MB “private location off a dirt road” means that you’ll be the last on the list for snow clearing. Be prepared to be snowed in for a week or two every time there’s a heavy snowfall. (Some winters only once, some winters 6 times in the season)
We’ve been stuck at home for almost two months one winter. Our vehicles froze. We’ve also been stuck for another month except for one trip out, because all the roads around us washed out in flooding, and we didn’t have a vehicle that could get through at the time.
We do now!
When are you doing Kentucky and West Virginia? Pennsylvania?
The problem with those “no go” zones is, that’s some of the best land and climate for growing food.
Re: southern Manitoba, remember that it is a flood plain. That’s part of why the soil is better there. In some areas, homes are required to be built above a certain grade, or have dikes (some towns are surrounded by dikes), or your insurance won’t cover losses if there’s a flood.
The other thing to remember, particularly as you go further north, is that all those lakes are the remnants of a giant glacial lake. Then there’s the transition zone into the Boreal forest. That means we have Dark Grey Zone soil; the topsoil is very shallow, then it’s all sand, gravel, clay and rocks.
So. Many. Rocks.
Unless you are able to consistently amend it, as local farmers do, that means nutrients leach out of the soil very quickly. It’s also very alkaline. With the freeze/thaw cycle, you’re pretty much growing rocks. For us, that means gardening in raised beds and amending our soil with things like sulfur granules and peat.
