  1. My garden space is long and narrow. The best thing I did when I designed my garden was to add 2 compost areas. One is close to the processing area (close to the cellar, where I have an outdoor sink and table) and one at the other end which is my chicken enclosure. Now, when I harvest, I can throw things in the closest compost pile and I don't have to walk a long distance. Looking forwrd to seeing your new garden!

  2. Welcome back Moreno, glad to see you survived this terribly hot and dry summer, and all those crazy fires up there ! Now you just have to get trough winter and all is fine ) Good luck for your family project, is looking great

  3. Hi Moreno! Great video as always! Loving your project … I should visit you when I am in Galicia (Spain). Btw … do you have a design for the pit fire we have built there? Looks amazing!
    Gratitude and admiration for what you do and share!
    All the very best,

  4. Your videos are so helpfull. I'm in the prosess to start a community garden here in South Africa and I am following your advice step by step. Thank you for your uploads

  5. It's good to see how hard you guys are working I'm I'm reaching out to you from northern Arizona don't know your soil looks a lot like what it is South of me at about 5000' altitude in Prescott Prescott do you have an NPK reading on what the native soil is before your amendments?

  6. It's good to see another of your videos. Are you planting a winter garden? My husband and I just bought a cottage in a retirement community and will be taking over a minimal garden. I want to expand it, but in a way that is manageable for the elderly. I would like to do what you do and I only reluctantly admit I can't. Still I will do something!

  7. The biggest setback in my property is that the gophers eat everything from kale to rose bush roots (even those that are in chicken wire cages with a 6-inch ‘lip’ above ground level

  8. Hi thanks for the video! one thing, do you water with drip or overhead? is it possible to water just with overhead (except tomatoes and maybe other fruits) ?? thanks!

  9. Moreno, you and your wife are so amazing! I greatly admire your journey, and I've been learning a great deal on how to use garden space in a smart and efficient way. I hope to take your gardening course one day soon! Thank you for sharing this great information. I love following your channel.

  11. My hints: Plan your trees first. They will take years to bear fruit (and cast shadows on your land too).

    Check out the local markets. Which fruits/vegetables can you buy in good quality and at moderate prices? For example carrots and potatoes. They don't have to be grown primarily.

    Observe how and where rainwater drains after heavy rain and take measures to channel or dam it.
