“I thought this was the sound the sun made”! The sound of the cicadas that I heard living in Cyprus with my military family. Now I am very disconnected from the the food supply living in Central London with post COVID Tinnitus, I tell myself that “this is the sound the earth makes, I am simply hearing the earth’s engine when I couldn’t hear it before”! I moved into a basement rental flat a year ago with a 40’ x 5’ basement area which I have turned into a garden and I was surprised to hear all the compliments and people photographing my cats sunbathing 10’ below street level. Only have lemons, olives, tomatoes, and herbs at the moment but this has inspired me to educate myself and grow some pretty veggies. I think I am grounding when walking barefoot on the concrete but have grounding mats on the cats and my bed just to be sure. “The Earthing Movie” is on utube if you haven’t learned the benefits of being barefoot yet? Namaste 🙏💜💐💜🙏

A few things from my personal experience doing this type of thing: •Don't buy potted plants as they are often root bound and can be expensive if you didn't germinate yourself. If you did germinate yourself use root trainers. I always just buy bare root trees because they aren't root bound and can be had for less than $1 each. •Plant more than you need. If you aren't super concerned about penny pinching, buy 3-5 trees per spot that you want a tree, and cull as they get older leaving a final, healthiest tree. Mark Shephard does this and calls it the STUN method •Don't worry if your trees get munched on. The first year I ever planted I put up a bunch of posts and netting and deer still got in and mowed everything to the ground. However, I had a lot of survivors because trees are used to that kind of thing. I've planted many times since and while deer haven't been a problem, my wife's horses will sometimes take a nibble. They just come back stronger next year •Be patient. I've planted bare root trees in the middle a pasture with zero protection and I've planted potted trees in a protected space and no matter what, I always lose about the same percentage of trees to the elements, and they all take about four years to really start taking off. Once they start growing though, man do they go fast. Typically for me is is zero inches per year for four years, then three or more feet per year after that, even for slow growing trees like oaks.

Hi Eric, can you please share where to find $1 bare root trees? I haven’t been able to find them for less than $15-$20 each - about 3-4 feet tall for that price.
@Eric998765 2 жыл бұрын
@@ruanddu I live in NA, specifically SC, so I buy a lot of trees from Mellowmarsh Farm located in NC (prices $0.85-1.15). I've also purchased a lot of trees from Cold Stream Farm located in MI (prices $0.23-15.00 depending if you buy in bulk or not) and Chief River Nursery in WI ($1.00-10.00). I usually don't get super tall trees, just 1'-2' because once the roots get established they grow fast anyway. Plus even at those heights the roots can be too big for a hole made with a dibble. Best way to find nurseries is to Google the latin name of a tree you want and add bareroot ie "quercus alba bareroot" and you should get a lot of results, many of which might even be local to you.

I’m using bananas and ice cream bean to fast track my canopy. I see you have a few bananas, harvest the pups and spread them around your swales. One for every two fruit trees is a good ratio. They quickly multiply you don’t need to buy more than a few to start with. Find an ice cream bean tree and plant the seed fresh, they don’t last long if they dry out. Once growing they will quickly over take your fruit trees and become the mother. Ice creams give mottled light, fix nitrogen and provide food. I harvested a few pods for free and I’m growing a dozen in my backyard food forest. If they create too much shade one day, pruning them back sends signals through the roots. This triggers massive growth in all your trees. Geoff teaches to set up the pioneer plants first and I get it now. I also made the mistake of starting with fruit trees and wondering why they died.

My favorite plum had one branch with big, white plums, egg shaped purple ones, small yellow ones and long, slim blue ones. It was supposed to be a joke but my grandpa loved to experiment with grafting.

14:00 When I lived in far north queensland, I built canopies for all of my seedlings using browned palm fronds, which we had everywhere. I'd cut the thick stems at a sharp angle, sliding them into the soil in a circle around the young plant - looked like a big nest. The young plants would grow up through the fronds, which not only provided dappled shade, but also protection from the wind and animals, and a bit of scaffolding. Eventually, the fronds compost in place.

I recently acquired a property in Eastern Washington State that I plan to devote about 1.5 acres to a food forest. Currently the area is a meadow in a forest of Ponderosa Pine. I know to dig swales, but I don't know where to begin when it comes to what sorts of plants would manage the freezing winters and hot dry summers. I am from a subtropical clime that doesn't dry out too much in the summer. Any tips would be appreciated since I don't see too many permaculture youtubers creating content about our environment!

This man needs a pond. Someone start a gofundme for him. He can grow rice in it and fish. Would also help keep his yard cooler durring the drought season.

I know you are a professional photographer, but, Mr Weedy, you always move me with your stunning videos and beautiful lighting. I'm an expat Australian and your area is close to that of my Grandparents when they were alive. I'm very nostalgic living in Chihuahua Mexico. The birds always set me off. I find it interesting that you imagine yourself as a gorilla and not as an echidna...ever tried to remove one so you can get a car out of the driveway... might as well go inside for a cuppa. You have the determination and way of marching around the food forest as an echidna. Your food forest will be magical and ever changing.

Hello good sir! I always end up emotional watching your videos. And I'm binge watching this past days. This is also a dream of mine. For personal and financial reasons I cannot pursue right now, but you showed me that it is never too late.. In the near future I will start on my little patch of land too. Thank you for sharing, it's inspiring! Much love from the Philippines!

With the gear I have accumulated over the years, I do have a few options. The one I’m now working on is with a tiny camera about the size of a golf ball. Wearing a VR headset when you watch the next episode is going to be trippy as!!!

This video makes me cry... in a good way! it's such a beautiful and resonant vision. I may not have thought of being a gorilla but everything else for sure! And so I began two years ago in earnest to learn permaculture principles and start my journey to food forest freedom here on the 11 acres we are grateful to inhabit. thank you so much for this wonderful inspiration and knowledge! 💚
