Showing how the Food Forest is doing in late August. The Perennials have really started to come through and are beginning to dominate the system. Music by: Teshuva http://www.teshuvamusic.com
The Food Forest has progressed well this summer, especially the trees.
Walk along with Ric Stern, Horticultural Systems Designer, as he describes the vision for a new polyculture orchard in sandy Florida conditions. Learn about biodiverse cultivars that will be utilized in a synergistic plan that will increase organic matter in the soil and provide food for years once it is established.
Horticultural Systems Designer Ric Stern describes the beginning stages of what will be our new polyculture orchard system at the Florida Living Web Farm. Learn about the unique challenges that come with growing orchards in Florida sands and glimpse the vision of what will become a forest of abundance and diversity. More to come as…

Garden update, everything is doing well, the strawberries fattening up, the cherries are getting bigger, the radishes and lettuces are ready I harvest, there’s nothing like spring and homegrown food.
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…
Permaculture garden short update on how the system is supporting itself, while producing us food, building fertility, providing food and habitat for animals etc.
An explanation of the first step to becoming a Natural Farmer. A Phoenix rises from the ashes.
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.
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…
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…
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.
A video showing how fast polycultures come together, and how landscape design can add to fertility and overall yields.
Garden update on the progression of our permaculture garden, and some success we are having with hugelkultur. Also, a look into the roll of timing when planting polycultures.
Showing how the garden is coming along, and how well things look after the rains.
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.
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.
In this update I take you through the progression of the polyculture plant guilds in the garden, and show how things look after we removed our pioneering cold frame system.
In this update we fill you guys in on how the plants did through the 28 degree temperature we had last night, and also a little surprise we stumbled on.
An update on our polyculture garden. The combination of the bricks and windows seems to be helping the seedlings through the cooler nights. It shouldn’t be long until the lush green takes over.
