Affordable Clothing for the Homestead – Pantry Chat
For more great Instant Pot recipes, please visit InstantPotEasy.com
Living the homesteading lifestyle is definitely harder on clothing than suburban or urban living. So how do you source high-quality clothing that can be passed …
Hi…Venus fly traps…firstly..ditch the dirt and plant it straight into sphagnum moss make it swamp like and sit in a window…no drainage in the pot. Goodluck . For snowy winter if you have a warm light spot that never hits freezing.
"The Compost Pile"… the ultimate homestead murder mystery LOL. Carolyn, get on that novel this winter!
Did some searching for Wringers and classic clothes in Texas. Couldn't find a thing. Will y'all please add a link to the description and the comments? Definitely wanna check that place out.
Great pantry chat today. You guys were hilarious…love it. By the way I was canning stew as I watched…Carolyn's Thrive recipe. Thanks Carolyn! Thanks Josh! Got my pressure canner going! 🙂
Thank you and God bless you both!
Happy day to you both! My question has nothing to do with clothing ! I am going to plant garlic and where can you find the tool you use to plant the garlic? Sorry if I didn’t ask the question right.
Another place with high quality clothes that are durable is tractor supply. Also it is ok to wear your clothes more than a day especially if you are inside more than outside.
Great podcast. The older I get the less I want to spend on clothes. We don’t really go anywhere anymore so there really isn’t a reason to keep buying clothes that I’ll never wear! It makes it som much easier to decide on what to wear when you don’t have a ton of clothes to choose from. 😂
Bahaha – Carolyn, we think alike. (Murder mystery on the homestead)
Our local Ag agent told us years ago, if we have a deceased livestock animal (as long as it wasn’t euthanized with chemicals) to bury it under our compost pile and it will breakdown. It never dawned on me that we could do the same with the unused parts from harvesting hunted animals either – I hated just tossing them back into the woods. Thank you for connecting the dots!
What is the name of the sheet company you referenced?
You MUST be talking about American Blossom sheets! They’re wonderful!!! We got two sets so we could always have fresh, clean sheets on our bed, even on wash day. COMPLETELY worth the investment for these sheets that we will pass down to our kids!
Skirt info? Please.
What is the sheet company?
Thanks Homesteading family! I haven’t delved much into canning yet as my current hang up is I have a glass stove top and I’ve been told my water bath canner isn’t safe on it. Any suggestions on what I can purchase to can on? (Keeping current glass stove) —thank you!
Buy winter clothes for next year in February. Kohls and most stores jeans are cheapest then. I buy $70 jeans for $8. September for summer. You will cut you cost in half doing this
I have found I have to go up a size with used. Some brands don't shrink as much but lots do
I've considered learning to sew my own dresses so I can have some dresses that aren't cheap and unraveling.
Excellent information, I have many kids too, so I wonder how do you store your clothes? I've been using vacuum seal bags, which are not very practital at the end for me. Do you use plastic box? What kind seals better?
Thanks 😊

I am from the part of the country where the venus fly traps grow wild. They need acidic soil. They grow in hot swamps close to the coast that are mainly populated by other carnivorous plants and pine trees. When they are sold in the store they just get put in potting soil. If you want them to survive try upping the acidity of their soil, add sand, keep their pot damp at all times – think swamp. They like ants and spiders but they only eat that because the soil is lacking nutrients so they may not eat bugs if you have too many nutrients in the soil. I hope that helps.
This is how I grew up, you changed your clothes when you got home from school into ‘play’ clothes
Horror at the Homestead 🤣🤣 good title for your book 😂😂
Washing wears out clothes.
Lol murder mystery on the homestead! You guys were extra cute today! Love the bloopers! Something special in your mugs, this morning? 😂 you guys are the best! Can’t wait for the 3rd!
Hi Caroline! Will you please link your dehydrator? Thank you!
Is there a link to the women's skirts website you mentioned in the video?
You have to give meat eating plant distilled water or rain water. Well water is too nutritious
Great perspectives on the clothing! I'd love a chat just on adult clothing for the homestead too. Thanks!
Did you add the link for the company in Texas that makes the skirts? Thanks 😊
Can you share the brand for those sheets you were talking about? About to need new sheets myself.
Can you take meat bones, etc and bury them in the garden. I don't have space to have a big pile like you built. Thank you.
