Good progress

Great video! ❤

Looking good guys 😊nice to see you have got a bit of rain I know what you mean about the orange blossom our new place is surrounded with orange trees smells amazing in the morning

And in fact, the best control is to constantly trim and lay unnecessary weeds as mulch directly on the cuts; constantly digging up roots is very tiring and some weeds appear again

Love what you post and have been following along from the start. We are doing similar permaculture gardening (from scratch in a hard, rocky, clay soil that has the worlds worst tough and prolific grass), way down south at the bottom of Tasmania Australia. With the cardboard make sure it is overlapping at least 100mm. And having it double layered is better. I did exactly what you have done but am back , moving mulch, weeding, adding more wet cardboard and can report in year 2 that are much better than year 1! Planted windbreak trees and they are now thriving. All the best

Hi! Good work with the vegetable beds. Do you have a composting area? All your vegetable waste and layers of clipping will give you good compost in time x Do you have plans yet for developing the home on the land ?

"Canas", I think it is a different variety of bamboos. They are being used to make privacy fences, window blinds, privacy blinds, fences etc....in China or other South East Asia region. Google it 😅 Farm is looking good 👍

I want to make reed trellises for large trees and grow actinidia (a type of kiwi).

Did you ever finish the "tiny house" you were building?

Make sure the bamboo is dry and not green……. It will grow and it will take over the patch and may take over the vine roots. Bamboo is a thug !

Plants do not know the difference between “organic” fertilizer and commercial fertilizer. Fertilizer is just Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium NPK . Some come with other chelated minerals. For the price you pay for “organic” you can get twice as much granular fertilizer and fertilize all of your land. The key is to have your soil tested so you get the right ratio of NPK for your soil. Also test for ph and other minerals. Usually your Agricultural institutes will do that for a small fee. Then you can use chop and drop composting. Also there are nitrogen fixing plants and trees that capture nitrogen from the air. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are elements that occur naturally. Fertilizers are not pollutants the important thing is to get the right amounts for your soil and to spread them evenly so they don’t burn the roots. I know the word organic sounds healthy and “green” but the balance of NPK, PH and Trace Elements is what will help you build the soil so your plants can get the building blocks for healthy growth. You can buy manures that have pesticides and live stock wormers in them that will kill your soil. Raise livestock for fertilizer that you know is organic but remember if you worm them it goes in the soil. The really harmful stuff comes from pesticides and veterinary treatments. Even the medicine people take ends up in the water supply from sewage treatment. Don’t waste money on Designer Organic Fertilizer. Plain old fertilizer and mineral amendments are perfectly organic even if they are not the trendy. Peas, beans and locust trees are all nitrogen fixing plants. Also different plants have different NKP and Ph needs fruit trees are different artichokes or potato’s. Soils can be different on any given property so what you plant and where you plant it matters you may have sand in one area and clay in another. Plant the right plant in the right soil and amend the soil for the particular plant.
