hey bro, nice job, im into the permaculture forest garden too… don't know if you have seen me lately but check it out. very similar u and i just different zones
Nice work James! Looks great!
I couldn't agree more, James! Growing food can be easy!
Hi, James! 🙂 Good to see you again. You are so right about doing things the way they do best in different climates. took years to find ways to grow in my yard. With all the rain and Walnut trees. I am still experimenting. I finally found 1 load of wood chips. But they are too course to use n the garden. There blade was not sharp. But the pile is starting to break down a little. So It will be usable in the future. I but it in a few places. But wish I had another truck come by. We have had too much rain to get any dumped in the back. And too hard to move the pile back there. But things will work out. Best wishes. E
Your place is really coming into its own! Your climate is helpful because you have fairly good summer rainfall. All the chips and mulch will get you through a dry spell pretty well, but your overall climate allows this to work. It's nice to see so much fruit integrated into your system, too. Nice work (or non-work as things get more self-sustaining)!
Totally agree man. Plants grow themselves and need very little help from us. I'm both surprised and delighted that your lettuces and carrots self seeded in that thick mulch layer. That is a great way to get localised varieties naturalising in your garden. I found this happening a while ago with cilantro that had gone to seed. It's hard to grow here in the subtropics but I found that the big drop of seeds allowed certain well placed seeds to sprout when the conditions were just right. Those that didn't sprout were left to sprout later and I had a great supply of cilantro for a couple of years until I moved house. Great looking strawberries too! Thanks for sharing
cant get free wood chips here ,or straw or hay, the wood is ground into mulch and shipped all over. a tractor tailor load hole sale is over a 1000 dollars . spoiled hay and straw is sold for mushrooms , and mushroom soil is over 400 dollars a load . manure in this state is regulated , it is hard to do what Paul dose with out lots of dollars , I have to do green manure to get any humans . but what you do looks good
Wow James I'm loving how easy it comes as well. I had Kale, Spinach, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Potatoes and Melons all volunteer this year and some of those like potatoes I thought I got them all last year. Garden is looking real good.
the truth!!
How do you plant seeds? Do you move the wood chips aside? Or just broadcast over the top?
Thank you for the update, James. I love seeing your permaculture yard. BEAUTIFUL and EDIBLE. Nice job.
a self seeding perennial garden does making grow food easier
Bless you dude, Fukuoka got me interested in farming. It's great to see how its done by a contemporary american. Keep making videos—from the standpoint of cinema they are exquisite. I would like to live my life on this kind of land.
