Hill Garden ep 4: How to Trim Yucca - Duration: 7:49.
Hey Guys! Welcome to another Hill Garden
Video
Yeah! Finally! Right? Okay so today I
want to show you guys how to trim a Yucca and the
cool thing about it. How weird it is and
how awesome it is too. This is a Yucca tree
we have ... I think last time I counted it
was 12... one moment...
12! We have 12 Yucca
trees here. That's a lot of Yucca.
Yucca can be used for many things.
Including soap. Including rope and
including food ... actually so the cool
thing about Yucca is very versatile.
It grows here, naturally, without any
water except for the few times it rains
a year and it shoots out little growths like
these all the time and I can just
regrow these really if I wanted to but
instead I like to use in a compost. Because
they are so small and I'll regrow the
larger ones for other people or for other
projects because I really don't have any
use for more Yucca Trees here.
There's not that much space and there's 12.
So what's really cool about this, is it
has a Fibonacci Sequence. What a Fibonacci
Sequence is ... is
it goes around in a spiral .. I think its 1..
3... 5.. it's a spiral
basically it starts out from one point
and then it rotates a certain degrees to
the next space and then it grows
new leaf. So when I'm actually taking these
leaves off to compost them I have to
rotate it in those each degrees, each
time in order to take the leaf off
properly or else will just stick and I
won't be able to take leaf off because
another leaf will be blocking the space
where the leaf comes off.
What's really cool if you could see that
it's really white in there and in there it's
white as well. What's amazing
about Yucca.. is that's actually soap on
the end of each leaf. There's that
white stuff as well and you can crush
that up and turn it into soap. You can
use for your hands, clothes, anything really.
I'm actually working on trying to figure
it out, to get a really clean product.
That I can use.
That's not directly related to a plant and
has the same consistency soap and the same
kind of feel.. you know? That's what I'm working on,
these right now. Okay so this video mainly I
guess is about trimming these Yucca
Trees. Now trimming a Yucca Tree is a
little difference in trimming a regular
tree. First of all the branches fall off
Really Easy.
all you have to do is push it in the
right angle and a pops off. It's kind of
creepy... umm ... but it's really cool that it
makes it so people to actually you know
trim these trees and grow a new one.
Instead of having to take a saw and saw
it down and have a lot of labor.
And Man work and it's difficult on the Hill
and all that stuff i just simply push it
in one direction it falls off. Hey that
works right. So another thing with these
trees is, they produce this really dry sticks.
From the leaves that used to be really
moist and have a lot of soap in that part.
They produce these like string like... carbon
leaves and with those I can compost them as
well. But I have to get rid of those
because they're highly combustible.
I'm sure I can wrap them up in a nice
little ball and start a log fire with
them. But ... they don't really work well on
the tree cuz we don't want the tree to
catch fire. That's something that is
something that we really don't want and
even though the tree can't really burn
down because it's a succulent. It can
catch by it and light other things on fire
as well that's something that we really
don't want obviously. Who wants to be on Fire?
I don't know. So we have to get rid of
the inside of these and it's the same
pattern as I showed you before
it's a Fibonacci Pattern. So I find the very
bottom of the plant and I start picking
the leaves off one sequence and then I go to the next
percentage and the next percentage and the next percentage
until I get the full Fibonacci Sequence
around the tree, or around the branch.
If you guys can see, i already did part of this one right here
and sometimes there's other .. umm .. dried leaves
in the way so I can't really move or do anything cuz these leaves are actually
really tough and they're really pointy so
I could really injure myself if I ... you know ... mess up so
I don't mess up, I have to make sure
that I do it right so that way still trimmed and I
don't hurt myself, in the process. So I'm
just going to do a little bit of this
one for you to show you how its done.
So I have to find the lowest one that I can find so I can just ...
I poked myself.
As you can see sometimes I have to go to a
different one before I can go to
another one. That's just because the
positioning that I have to get in there and
sometimes it falls off sometimes it doesn't
so I just have to be really ... you know ...
strategic.
Okay! So I hope you guys can see that and you
know how long that takes. For each and
every one of the 12 trees here and theres a
lot more to go so I'm gonna work on that
and I hope to catch you guys next week
when we talk about other trees that we
have to trim here and other processes that have to go
on. I'll talk to you guys soon and Thank
You for watching this Hill Garden Video. Also Guys, if
you like some spiritual stuff
and you want to dwelve into the
spiritual realm and your body and who you are
that you're existence is here. Then Head Over To
Becoming Super Humans. So That way you guys can
get a really cool intel of your body and
your soul connection to it feel more
Alive More you more here more right now.
Stay Tuned and check out the next Hill
Garden Video and the next Upcycled Ideas
Bye Guys!

An Existential Rant - theJunieBird - Duration: 5:09.
So I did VEDA and now my worst fear has
been realized and I have no more ideas
for videos. There are no idea for
videos, there are only empty silences and
editing software
and even the very best
can't turn just empty silences into a
good video, and let's be honest I'm not
the best editor. I'm okay, but I'm not the
best. I have to film a video because it's
time to film a video and because I want
to film video and
video so yeah.
Do you guys ever feel like that?
Like you've come to a point where you
don't have any ideas anymore, and you may
as well just give up? I mean that's not
even true, like I have a bunch of ideas,
they're just not videos that I want to
be the first video back from VEDA and
I'm just sitting here trying to figure
out what I want to be the first video
back from VEDA, and apparently it's just
going to be whatever this is.
I was so excited last week. I had so many plans
last week. I just have a plan for THIS
video. And apparently this is the video
that's going to be getting me into trouble.
Why am I like this? Why are any
of us like this?
Why do I make videos at all? I-I sort of
know why I make videos. This is like my
version of an existential crisis,
because I have a bunch of questions in
my brain and I'm like why-- most of them
like kind of existential questions, like
"Why am I doing this? What is this for?" All
that good stuff, but at the same time I do
have all the answers for them. Like, I
want to make videos because I want to
learn better how to make things, and I
want to keep going because I've created
some sort of community here, and I love
that community, and I want to continue that.
And this is just a very meta video.
I'm sorry?
I guess I'm just in a
weird contemplative mood because my sister
graduated from college.
I know that's a really good excuse but,
it's the only one I got.
She's like really smart, and she already
has a job,
and that's hard. I'm happy for her but I
can't help but be a little sad for me.
Which is super overdramatic, because I do
really like my life. I can't help but
feel like I'm on the edge of everything
changing, and I don't know why I feel
like that, I don't know what's going to
change.
And I've felt this way before. I think
that's the hardest part, I felt this way
before and nothing happened.
Or at least I felt this way before and
now I'm back again. And it's not the
greatest feeling. So I guess that's it.
Thank you for watching this existential
rant. If you like this video, for whatever
reason, feel free to find some of my
other videos or subscribe, and then
follow me on Twitter or Instagram, I've
been posting a lot of pictures to
Instagram lately so that might actually
be worth it. And as always I hope you get
a chance to do something that you love
today. I'll see you next time.
Bye guys.
