So long as you live in a mild climate like Victoria, BC. Let’s be realistic. Having said that, I always enjoy seeing what the possibilities are in small spaces. Thank you.

This is lovely and happens fairly close to where we live, though our climate is less benign than James Bay. Would also recommend Paradise Lot as a good read. Well done!

Wow what a geat example. We are going to move to our first house soon an I am already planning the garden. This garden is probably the best onces I have seen and I have watched hundrets of gardening videos. Mulching, crossplanting, the use of the animals... and the williow chair!!!! Hopefully we can adapt some of these great ideas

This is a terrific video. Something that's mentioned but perhaps not fully expressed is the economic value represented in the food raised for the family. At least one person has found that they gained less economic return selling what they raised than they achieved by raising what they ate ;)

I'm not sure what to make of that comment. Because some people are already doing this, we shouldn't have made the video? It is for the people aren't already doing it; or for those who are looking for new ideas. I'm sorry you didn't like it.
