On this page we will present selected videos and other media that may help you get a better idea about the HOW TO of various topics including Canning, Gardening, Using Basic Foods, Bread Making, Fermenting and anything else we get a request for or feel impressed to add. Please realized that this is a growing site so there will be more information as we have time to add it. Also know that these are only examples of sites we found in a google search and the site may be trying to sell something to you. We do not profit nor are we trying to profit from any of these sites. They are here for information only and you should do your own research before buying things. We have tried to give you ideas that you can do on your own. If you have favorite videos or YouTube channels about a topic here, or if you would like to see other topics please let us know and we will consider adding them.
Remember all you have to do is go to YouTube and ask about what you want to learn. (Remember, not everybody is reliable) Also experiment with the speed of your video.

Use what you can and look around for more info. This page is really just a starting place and consists of things that We (the editors) have used to learn new skills.

Growing fruit in the backyard is different than growing in a commercial orchard. You can and need to do things differently. Learn here. Remember to speed things up by clicking of the settings wheel and changing the speed to a faster speed if you want to and need to.
