Description:
Gardening is my passion, and growing Food Forests is my specialty. I go beyond organic gardening and work with nature rather then against it. Gardening doesn’t have to be hard, and you don’t have to be a servant to the garden. I can help you too create a gardening system that works with you and for you rather then you working for it. I use No pesticides, No herbicides. No fungicides, No growth hormones, No antibiotics, and No fertilizers. I allow nature to be the teacher and mimic the natural forest model to create an ideal living environment for all living things. I know their aren’t a lot of people who are super excited about growing their own food, but at a time when GMO’s and pesticide laden foods are causing so many health problems, I am standing in the gap showing others there is a different, and a better way!

The succession of our annual garden towards a perennial based system.
VIDEO: Growing for the Future
I discuss the importance of systems being scale-able, and the importance of interdependence with symbiotic relationships.
VIDEO: Permaculture Garden Update
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…

An explanation of the first step to becoming a Natural Farmer. A Phoenix rises from the ashes.
VIDEO: More Flowers mean more Fruits, while birds play music in the background
Birds play music in the background while most of the summer crops we have planted on our Huglekultur bed on contour are flowering and now the pollinators are moving through to go to work.
VIDEO: Succession towards a Food Forest
I talk about how our current system is pioneering the way for a future self-sustaining food forest. I am using all different kinds of annuals; including nitrogen fixers, dynamic accumulators, and also biomass accumulators to help build soil fertility, and to provide an ideal environment for young fruit trees and bushes. The Polyculture planting style…
VIDEO: Companion Planting, and the use of Trap Crops
Today I take you through the garden and explain the ideology behind some of the companion planting I did, and the use of trap crops to deter unwanted bugs from choice crops. Some of the main trap crops I used were; mustard greens, collard greens, and radishes. I also used onions and garlic to help…
VIDEO: Permaculture Garden, A Functional Design system
In our permaculture garden our system harvests its own; water (rain-water harvesting system), fertilizer (through nitrogen fixing microbes and dynamic nutrient accumulating plants), and its own seed. The only thing we have to do is harvest large branches throughout the yard for stakes, and harvest some of the crop for food.

I show the many benefits of Mustard Greens, and the techniques we use to constantly build soil fertility, increase biomass, and diversify available nutrients in our garden.
VIDEO: Polyculture
In this video I show the polyculture plant guilds that we have created this year, and also talk about how are getting up to 7 times the yield in one spot. These polycultures act in many beneficial ways, including pest deterrents and they also create symbiotic relationship from plant to plant.

VIDEO: Homemade Trellis, made of only 3 sticks
In this video my brother and I build a trellis out of nothing but 3 sticks. We peel the bark, than braid it to increase its strength. Than we put the sticks in the ground and braced the 3 sticks together using the homemade braided bark rope.
