I'm Sending My EG4 6000EX Off Grid Inverters Back to Signature Solar
Why we're switching from the EG4 6000EX inverters to the new EG4 6000XP off grid inverters.

In this video, I discuss my experience with my inverters after having used them for a few months. Despite their impressive functionality, I encountered problems when I added a third inverter and the Solar Assistant software.
From random faults to shut downs, it has been a frustrating time. Finally, I've decided to send them back and replace them with a new set from Signature Solar. I have been offered an upgrade to the 6000XP inverters, which promise better usability and hopefully, less hassle.
I will be documenting my experiences with these new inverters and testing their performance on appliances in coming videos.

Harvesting comfrey roots is so easy! In this video, Eric from East Texas Homestead is digging up his first root crop of comfrey.
The comfrey was planted two years ago in a dedicated raised comfrey bed. The comfrey will be used for comfrey fertilizer, comfrey salves, comfrey creams and other uses around the homestead.
This video is intended to show you how easy it is to grow comfrey in your garden and dig up the comfrey roots to propitiate them or use them for herbal medicine.

I walk you through how I'm setting up my off grid homestead by installing three EG4 6000XP inverters. These are by far the best off grid inverters i've worked with for those on a tight budget. I'll show you some of my wiring, which may not pass code where you live so be sure to do things the right way. I'll also emphasize important safety measures and the necessity of consulting local laws, ordinances, and product manuals. Tips and tricks for bypassing certain difficulties are shared, while viewers are advised to consider the potential need for equipment updates.
Remember, I'm not a professional and my actions should not dictate your approach.
I'll also detail the process for properly torquing connections and connecting battery cables and communication cables. A section on setting up inverters in parallel is covered using guidance from the product manual and additional advice.

BUILD
building-a-raised-garden-bed-with-wood-2
Building a raised garden bed with wood sides is something that anyone can do. This is the second video in the series where I'm showing you how to build a raised garden bed with wood sides.
Building Raised Bed Part 1

Building Raised Bed Part 3
➜ https://youtu.be/SvieLkie9w8?list=PLpbWeFH8xI3dvN6VoQn_oyLxk84NzQaz-
I cut the wood for my DIY raised garden beds from a tree on my property. I did this for two reasons.
1. I wanted my raised garden beds to be really cool and have a great story behind them.
2. Making these DIY raised garden beds cheap was a top priority for our homestead. We needed to build this raised bed without a lot of money involved.
Raised-bed gardening is not necessary for the average homesteader or even backyard garden enthusiast. And it may even be the case in East Texas that placing the garden in the ground is better for irrigation. We decided to go with a raised bed on our homestead because it looks better in the front yard. Also, raised bed gardening is a little easier to keep small animals out of your garden bed.
If you like my raised bed garden design, leave a comment below and share it with a friend.
Happy gardening and we will see you on the next video.

IS A
is-a-mr-heater-fuel-filter-needed-when
In this video, I'm going to address why you need a fuel filter for a Mr. Heater Big Buddy or any other Buddy heater.

Instead of giving you my opinion on when and why you need a propane fuel filter, I'm going to tell you what the manufacturer says. I'll be pulling the info from their website.
--
Here are the questions:
What does a fuel filter do?
The Mr. Heater fuel filter (part number F273699) is essentially an oil trap. Oily particulates are squeezed from the rubber of some hoses by the high pressure coming out of the propane bottle and can get pulled along with the flow of propane. These contaminants cand be deposited in the lines in the Mr. Heater Buddy heater, blocking any fuel flow. The propane fuel filter, by being hollow, causes these particulates to stick inside it, thereby filtering the fuel.
--
Why do I need a fuel filter with my Buddy heater?
In most propane appliance situations, there is a regulator located at the tank, followed by a supply line. In that situation, what passes through the hose after the regulator is low-pressure gas. Low-pressure propane is harmless to rubber. The buddy system has the regulator located at the heater.
In this setup, you cannot have a regulator at the propane tank due to over-regulating the gas supply. This makes the gas that passes through the hose to get to the buddy system high pressure. High-pressure gas squeezes rubber as it passes through it, and can occasionally pull some of the oils and plasticizers from the hose during these periods of high pressure.
Those contaminates will travel with the flow of propane and land somewhere inside the heater, slowly building up over time and causing gas flow problems once the buildup becomes large enough. The 10' buddy hose does not contain any plasticizers or oily contaminates that will leach out of the hose during high-pressure propane flow.
That is why that hose does not need a filter. All of the other hoses for the buddy system will need a filter because they will contain oils and plasticizers.
--
How often should I replace my fuel filter for a Buddy heater?
Mr. Heater recommends starting the heating season with a new propane fuel filter and disposing of it at the end of the season. Using one longer can cause the filter to fill up with the particulates. Once the filter is filled, the particulates will pass through and begin building up in the heater.
Why do some hoses need a filter and some do not?
When shooting this video, Mr. Heater made three hose models that do not require a filter:
• F273704, which is made from a different chemical compound of rubber that
