Thanks you for this. Im learning about garden tools, and came across you😊.

One thing to keep in mind: although animal meat is dense in calories, the amount of calories animals can produce per acre is much, much less than crops can produce.

My top survival crops are Geese(we do American Buff) and Muscovy (the standard White meat bird breed) They both can (and do, here) subsist 100% on forage - lawn, pasture weed. They both breed prolifically and raise their own young. Ours roam the property semi-feral (we don't feed, we don't water, we don't house, we don't fence them in (though you do have to fence them OUT of your garden areas - but we already had to do that to keep the deer out). They live out there on The Ponds and surrounding pasture in and amongst the wild/native Mallard and Canada populations. They do their thing in Spring (makin' babies) and starting about now (mid to late Aug) they are sized up to harvest. No need for storage - they are stored "on the hoof" so to speak. Let them live their best lives out there and only pick off one or two as needed. We take a Muscovy a week, give or take, and one or two Goose a month... all year long. Roughly 400+ pounds of tasty animal protein a year for ZERO work other than harvest/butcher.

You can just become vegitarian. You don't have to eat that

I started sweet potatoes here in Dallas/Fort Worth last year and they produced a lot, grow faster in the hot months, but you must water them often. They seem to need water and we are a dry hot summer climate. They also store well once cured inside the cooler house. I always save a few green growing slips in large pots over the winter inside for next year. I suggest you try them.

Excellent video. Thanks.

I stop paypal.

Did he say Aronia berry for hedgerow?

Thank you sir for sharing your experience!! Appreciate your hard work. We have been working with a small garden for the past three years and it is definitely a learning experience and our family has farming background. Until one starts planning and work a garden one just doesn’t have the appreciation for the time involved. God bless

Thank you for sharing

would love to see more permaculture projects that don’t rely on animal exploitation, especially in such restrictive conditions.

I’m liking the look of your garden cart in the background. Is it handmade?

Very grateful for you commitment to educating the public! You inspired me to look up a CSA near me (Salinas Valley, California).

Your medicinal garden is gorgeous! The shape and textures- stunning! Which is why I love the guild plantings. I can design an appealing grouping.

Very nice, thank you :)

A friend experimented with mystery potatoes one year & one that did very well out in the dry desert's hot climate of NM was a type of potato that grows all along his fence on a vine. The potatoes grow on the vines, not in the soil. You can see them, possibly a sweet variety. I forgot the name of them. 5-to-8 times a regular potato's mass. The Jerusalem Artichoke is another amazing crop to help you thrive, not just survive.

I'm member of a CSA where you go to the farm and harvest your produce yourself. The farmers hang out flags to show what can be harvested. Purple flag for tasting only, blue for harvest what you can eat fresh and yellow for harvest plenty, also for jam, pickles or soup because it's about to shoot. I can go whenever I want and choose the veggies i like. Onceca month it's 'work-day', and members are asked to help if possible with planting or weeding. And there are events like movie night or camp weekend. I can't seem to find a lot of CSA's who work this way, most have boxes. I like to go to the farm and take my time, away from the hussle of life. But I guess it's not for everyone to go harvest (if rain for ex). And prolly some crops are lost if members aren't to carefull where they walk or harvest to early.

Looking for local farm to purchase sweet corn when its available. I'm in Bardstown ky Thank you for explaining C.S.A

Zone 1 ???

Him in you, you in Him? Jesus is The Word, John 1:1-5 The Word God spoke: Exodus 20:1 The Word God wrote: Deuteronomy 4:13 and The Word God made flesh John 1:14 Jesus is the law that hung on the cross as well as the law God wrote upon our heart. If Jesus is in you, you must get in Him. Our directions are found in Deut. 6:8-9. Become a disciple of Jesus.

I like Johnny’s but the shipping price is pricey to me. It’s almost the same price as the seeds itself.

Thanks for the update and the opportunity for me and my family members and friends and neighbors. With us.

It’s hard to find a well made shovel anymore. I prefer wooden handles for comfort but I’ve broke just about every shovel I’ve bought in the last 10 years or so. At least I still have one that’s about 30 years old that is my dad’s so I use it occasionally.

If i even see a short handled shovel my back starts to hurt!

A big old permaculture newbie here. How are the hedgerows at Deer control

Would it be a good idea to build a swale out of a hugel(sp?) Mound?

Makes sense to call a list "dirty dozen" and have 13 items 😂

Guinea pigs-- Romans had special pots in the garden where a guinea pig type critter was raised for food

I am a banana farmer with a small organic farm on a rainforest mountain on a small island in the Caribbean, and I am so thankful winter's aren't my issue, but as hurricanes are, in many ways I envy your farm. Great video. New subscriber. 🍌

I need someone to team up with so we can buy property and start a food forest. I would do it myself, but property is so damn expensive in Canada.

Everyone likes those little gardening knives but I never use them honestly. A good selection of hoes has replaced it for me.

Great video! My recommendation for Okra is Clemson and Burmese. Absolutely love both. The Burmese can grow to almost a foot without getting woody and spiny!

I really appreciated the guild segment. I have been trying to squeeze guilds in my tiny front yard and have gotten confusing advice about how to space them. It was very nice to see the actual space.

I have tried every style of fish with okra and it is a permanent no ho. I would rather keep the food in my stomach instead of vomiting as I get sick when I eat okra. Everything else is fine.

I just now noticed your hat and realized we live in the same state. Which will be useful to see which plants thrive or not.

Instead of okra, I would grow carrots, and beets, and radishes.

Hugelculture attracts yellow jackets, just FYI

Jerusalem Artichokes aka Sunchokes are the ultimate "survival crop" . Easy to grow , the tubers self-store in the ground, what you don't dig will increase indefinitely. I find the roots quite tasty, my pig loves them too, the goats like the leaves, stems, and flowers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_artichoke

Hi. Thanks for your video. Question: regarding the rabbit's poop... If they are eating the weeds, aren't the weed seeds in that poop? Thanks for clarifying.

Great information. Thank you. I just ordered your book.

Why am I binging these I live in an apartment

The one thing I see is that almost every seed company carries the same exact seeds at every place. Fedco is a place I look for specialty things because they are great for that,they seem to be the only seller I see with a wide selection of hard to find seeds. They however are not great with shipping or customer service. My go to is always Baker creek,Been shopping with them for ten years,never had a problem with germination,shipping,or customer service.

this will always be relevant

Texas Hill Country Red heirloom okra does very well in climate zones 8a and 9a, where I grow it. I grew 3 kinds of okra for 3 years, always including the winner from last year. The Texas Red always won, so I have only grown that since then, allowing me to collect seeds. The pods grow unusually large before hardening, and the flavor is exceptionally good.

good vdo brother

My gardening technique is closer spacing in well amended soil beds (like a market farm). The well mananged multi crop beds produce a lot.

Guinea pigs scare me for some reason 😅
