I was listening to The Survival podcast and Richard asked a question on show 1589. Made me think because I have noticed the same thing on people showing starting a food forest then they never show it as it grows. So I decided to make this video to show a 2-3 year old food forest in an everyday side yard. The only older part of the food forest is 4 year old peach tree’s and a 14 year old cherry tree.

holy crap clint i have heard you talk about permacuture on your podcast. great to see what you do in your off season. love all your work. trapping and now permacuture too.
100% correct Clint and even Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton say the first 2 – 3 years is where all the hard work is done and then you maybe you will spend one or two hours a day doing your harvesting, chop n drop mulching etc.. I notice a lot of people think permaculture is just a type of gardening method but it is more about design. What I tell people about mulching is it does not stop weeds but it does reduces them a lot, and you have to mulch at least once if not twice a year. I live in the suburbs in Western Australia and no way could I have grow enough bio mass to get me started. Thanks for sharing.
I listened to that show also and I have thought the same thing. I had a ankle and foot injury and my annal garden went to crap this year. I did veggy garden before I messed around with permculture. Thus my garden and hoop house are hundreds of feet from house. If the Father in wills it, I will be putting in beds on contour like yours much closer to my house.
I appreciate the no nonsense, straight talk. Great garden. Inspirational.
Great, practical channel. Thanks!
thank you for sharing your thoughts about permaculture. I worry about permaculture people running chickens or ducks on a new bed, then immediately turn around and plant veggies in fresh manure. That's asking for disease IMO. Chipotle just learned this the hard way. Just because it's organic doesn't mean it's sate to eat.
I loved this. Thank you.
Permaculture, like life, is only learned through experience for sure. A good "whole system" will be low maintenance once Established this is true, im 2 years in, and doing less and less maintenance. In fact, i did so well on 2000 sq ft, that i got the opportunity to do 1.5 acres. Living with weeds and grass has been the biggest lesson that ive taught amateurs. You just got yourself a new sub. God bless.
yes!! I was initially overwhelmed when I tired to start projects everywhere with very mixed results. over the years, I have tweaked them with new strategies and additional labor. 6 years in and some of the systems are requiring far less work
Muscydimes lol! I love it brother!
