That type of gardening will heal the planet!
Good content! Plus the way he talks fast and pops out of everywhere is kinda funny hahaha
Nice video – much appreciated
Thanks again.
Great job on the collab with JP! He's the greatest permaculturist of our generation!
"With every failure, comes. . . the seed to an equivalent success."
How about monkeys and such cool freerange guys that also wanna harvest from your forest? Any tips?
God bless you.
I have all the elements, but still stuck with 6 hours of mowing! I guess I need more trees… digging up grass sucks. I guess one plot at a time…
about those "weeds" you talk about.. Most plants people consider weeds are edible and medicinal… think of the dandelion…
Great vid!
James…awesome! Just finished watching some of your videos.
You can tell he's in his element. He communicates this topic so amazingly.
Amazing video. So clear and insightful
So the ground spot of the yard, are you able to put the wood chips on top of grass or do you do no dig method and smother it out and then add wood chips?? If you can't afford it what is another method?? I do want to start a permacultural food forrest.
I am subscribed and watch both of you and never knew you did a collab!! Loved it!
If you can only build through the years. Are trees better to start with? If like to get them going first but didn’t know if that’s the first hung I should plant.
Amazing. Where I live, blueberries are canopy trees! Funny how nature works. They grow tall really fast and need to be cut (not just trim, cut whole branches and leave the main tree stock) every two years to control their growth.
You state mixing wood chips with soil can acidify it. So can I do this for my newly planted blueberries?
I don't get how you get rid of the lawn or the weeds in someone's farm.Thanks for the video
Very nice tutorial 😀 But I personally would disagree with the excessive use of woodchips
1. Overusing woodchips doesn't mimick the natural progress of ecological succession. There are very few examples of natural ecosysems, where such a sudden appearing of wooden biomass takes place. More common is a gradually growth and a slow change from bacterial to fungal dominated soil. I think it isn't possible to just skip several years of ecological development, while shifting your system from a lawn into a full grown forest, without losing biodiversity, resistance and adaption to the specific conditions on your site. There are useful steps in between you can take and better ways to use your available space. Many pioneer species accumulate biomass very quickly and simultaneously provide many uses for humans and ecology, same goes with ground covers!
2. In my opinion, it doesn't match the philosophy of permaculture to destroy ecology in another place to harvest tons of woodchips for your food forest, except you are able to find a sustainable source for them (i.e. use waste material or material which is already present on your site). But since I don't know your source, consider this point as optional
3. You are making your system too dependent on external resources and create extra costs
This channel talks alot but show little n do little
REALLY GOOD CONTENT!!
So much passion. New Jersey is INDEED the garden state. The Prigioni Forest Garden!
The real reason the food forest is success is due to Dr Chiken; she corrected him multiple times but poor human is not at same IQ as Dr.Chicken. You can hear Dr.Chicken side of the story at 10:49.
