5 Homestead Hacks You Never Thought Of

In case you don’t know, The Modern Homesteader is a Youtube channel about a family of suburbanites who moved to the country in North Carolina and set up a homestead.

Last year, they did something called the 40 Day Homestead Challenge (which you can watch here) where they attempted to grow all the food they need for the summer. They documented their journey and shared things they learned along of the way.

The following video is about five homestead hacks they picked up during the challenge. Here they are:

1. Open-Air Compost Piles Right By The Chicken Coop
2. Use Oil To Keep Squirrels Off Birdfeeders
3. Gravity Chicken Feeder Tube
4. Old Mailbox For Garden Storage
5. Organic Bug Spray

Watch the video below to see how these homesteading hacks work.
