Permaculture update on the system that we have established in my backyard. The system has really been taking care of itself, while we have continued to plant seed, and also harvest both seed and produce.
In my next update I will be further explaining why we garden the way we do, which is an interesting topic
looks real nice. the cool is your friend when it comes to eating turnips and rutabagas, I like to pick turnips after a frost, not a hard freeze though , a freeze makes them spongy, still edible . if you taste a hot weather turnip,they have bite, cool weather turnips are crisp and sweet, don't take my word for it , eat one now and when it cools down for a while, i love eating raw turnips. do you wrap your fig tree ?
Got a lot of food growing
It's great James how you experiment and share. The result of just turning the grass lawn and planting on the soil with only grass trimming ground cover is a simple and efficient idea.
I also like how you don't get married to an idea like hugelculture, although the technique has merit.
Like a Baws! Loved seeing how the garden turned out this year. Looking forward to more updates when it comes back to life!
Haha yeah you know. Thanks for watching though broher
Great, thanks for watching John I really appreciate it! And thanks for taking the time to give me a few tips and hints, I will be definitely using your advice. I greatly appreciate any comments you have to make, I understand you are a very knowledge person when it comes to homesteading because you have been doing it your whole life. I am knew to this style of living so I make a lot of mistakes, but I am willing to learn from others and let "iron sharpen iron". No this is our first year with the
the fig tree. Do you wrap yours? And if so, do you suggest that I should wrap mine?
Yeah, and the food doesn't get more natural than this. Thanks for watching
Thanks foggy. Yeah I would say my best asset is the fact that I have no pride. I try to look at things from a realistic standpoint, instead of letting my own biased opinion get in the way. If we all gardened by observation and not by our own "knowledge", we may find out that it is easier and healthier for everyone and everything.
Permaculture Garden Update
Great garden and your experiments look to be giving lots of results.
Thanks Luke! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. You really have a great channel going, and I wanted to thank you for helping to spread the knowledge about how to grow your own food. Good luck at school, I hope everything goes well
Awesome results.
excellent example of polyculture… really enjoyed watching it… a few legume trees to fix nitrogen will be useful which should also provide material for mulch…
I know this is last years video, but I hope you can answer a question. I am trying to use your method. Primarily because I do not want to use chemicals or fertilizers, but also because I am extremely limited to having land and seeds only. I cannot spend money on dirt, or any other additives. Anyway, your videos have inspired me and made me hopeful that I can grow something in my clay soil! My questions is about tomatoes. It is very windy in my area and every day I go out to find another tomato plant snapped and destroyed by the wind. They are very small now. Do you have any suggestions to protect them? Thank you for your videos and your advice.
