The Permaculture Food Forest is in its 5th year now and the fruit production is now at the next level. Every year the soil gets better, the fruit gets tastier, and the trees get healthier. A system like this, a food forest is the kind of system that will take care of you.

5 TIPS FOR BUILDING HEALTHY SOIL: https://youtu.be/7-Tyz7fGeZo
Cool video, James. I've been mulching and layering wood chips for several years and it's great for building and protecting soil among other things but I've found consistently layering wood chips as well as inhibiting weeds also inhibits volunteer plants growing from seeds dropped the previous season. I also noticed the plants not as well suited to my soil and climate, like the one tomato variety you pointed out gradually adapted and strengthened over the generations if I allowed growth of volunteer plants. I still apply lots of mulch but only after the plants have grown somewhat so I don't drown out the possible volunteer plants.
First of all your garden is super awesome, I am organic gardener to, and I also had problems with bugs eating fruit, but I found out in organic solution, if it is snails and slugs spray strong coffee all over the fruit, They can't process caffeine,so they will start to eat but then soon fall off, if it is flying bugs, boil dry clove flower until the water turn dark, then spray, make sure you refrigerate or it will spoil, also I notice yellow tomatoes like to be planted in 4's(4 plants a few inches from each other),and in the shade.
Purple pesto, very colorful! Love the channel new name!
Looks ♫WONderFUL!♫ Thanks for all the inspiration you put into your videos. I just got my first load of chips and we are MOVING FORWARD! Blessings~
Great video! Everything looks so wonderful. The video was so clear, it kind of felt like I was there with you walking around 😀 keep it up!
The food forest is looking amazing in late July, James! How many square feet is the food forest? Wow, those peaches! Have you done a video on how you prune peach trees? I let my dwarf peach tree grow without pruning since I planted it in the spring of 2016 and it's getting way bigger than I expected.
Incredible man! I live in Orange County, NY. I'll definitely be subscribing and tuning in for tips! I'm a beginner and have run into a lot of problems.
What do you do for rodent control?
i always learn something new bruh, thanks
This is the life I crave for, but so hard for me living in Toronto. The season is too short. I really need to eat organic and chemical free. My health is number ONE, but the pkace we live can make such an compact on our happiness and health! I only can wish for this life style!
Found you on Steemit!! Looking forward to seeing more over there! 😉
Hello how are you doing I have a question when you go on your grapes do you use sandy soil?
What do you do about peach scab that bug that sucks the sap .They cover my trees every year . One year I had washed my trees with a sponge and dish soap to knock them off. Which helped but cant get them all . HELP or advice from anyone is welcomed. I am at a loss
Fine forest! Pear is sick rust on leaves. Looks like there's not enough light. I have the same thing in the cherry-plum wood from an infected neighbor tree. How do you solve this problem or not?
blue robins eggs ?
My god how peach growers around the world would be jelous of that no doubt.
healthy sets nothing beats a nice healthy set ; )
What about corn? Where, when?
In MexicoIn Thailand and Mexico they have teeny tiny hot red peppers..hot as can be but grow in the forest!
I want to do currents and gooseberries but there's some white pine blight problem? I've heard there are resistant varieties! Where can I find legal currants or gooseberries…North Carolina?
What do you do with the food you can’t eat, can or dry? If you don’t already, may I make a suggestion? Sell it at a Farmers Market, local health food store, donate to local shelters and families who can’t afford to buy organic food. I love your channel and videos. I’m starting my “Mini Food Forest” next spring (2020). I have seedlings growing all over my kitchen! I’m working on a little spot just outside my back doorstep that I will plant my garden. I have chickens and will use their “special” organic fertilizer for my garden. I am archiving your videos so I can reference them when I start planting my “Mini Food Forest”. I’m so excited!
Congratullations for the dedications.
what zone is he in?
I would enjoy seeing a view of the whole yard from the street, to see what the neighbors see.
I just enjoy your video style and content! This moment is wonderful, fruit ripening and coming into color. Thank you. *Oh LOL I didn't look at the year. That was a bumper crop year!
