This video was an unplanned, impromptu video tour of somewhere very special near Byron Bay, Australia. Filmed on Friday 4th Aug 2023 I walk and talk with Harry, the appointed custodian of this precious patch of land, and as you'll see, he's a wealth of knowledge of tropical food plants and all things garden. Thanks for inviting this tour Harry.
How to inoculate Seed with beneficial microbes
มุมมอง 5209 หลายเดือนก่อน
Adding rhizobium inoculant (the Nitrogen Fixing, root nodule dwelling bacteria) and mycorrhizal fungi to my legume seeds. These microbes added now are one of the best ways to ensure fruitful growth, less pests and less work. Doing so now, onto the seeds directly is the most economical and efficient way to do this!

Does Your Ginger Have a Copper Deficiency?
No climate change ive been gardening for half a century now it just happens every year is different you have to adapt
I don't know where you garden, but I am in Michigan. It seems like our seasons have shifted. Historically, we never planted until Memorial day weekend, due to late frosts. This year, I had my garden in the ground in the second week of April 2024, with protection (turns out was never needed). But this also means Autumn has shifted, too. It's mid-August, and I am already seeing nature signs I normally don't see until Sept/Oct .
Carbon dioxide is plant food. The more there is the faster plants grow. Don't worry about it.
Plant list please
Nice work. Comprehensive talk! Any chance you can point me in the direction of the source for the calcium bioavailability from milk via foliar feeding. I've heard this before but I have never been able to track down an authoritative source to back it up.
So are the heliconias acting as an emergent plant or more of a medium/high strata in this system? I see there are a lot of taller canopy trees near by but none right where the fruit trees are like you might see in more typical syntropic rows.
If I may speak for Harry I'll say they're med/high strata and are providing the high humidity to buffer the cool temperatures and maintain the optimum conditions for the fruit trees to get established. There are various emergent species throughout, but with plenty of space for light penetration lower down.
Exposing the potential for the east coast to feed half the country with no mined mineral or electrically produced ammonia, breaking the cost of food.
Yes, that's entirely accurate! Such an inspiring example!
What can I add to the soil to make the plant healthy?
Super inspiring!
thanks learned a few things. already got half that just sitting around. didnt know seaweed helped seeds too
Extremely need some many upgrades for growth on TH-cam ❤

Just so you know, right before I got blocked, I was typing up a message saying "Good Luck with your group and I hope it goes well for you and everyone else. Theres still a few thsousand fake facebook acounts on that group that are bots, which are using your group to data mine the actual group members. Please treat them well and help prevent them from getting thier data stolen from them. Take care and have lots of luck and fortuen in this great new year. I hope mine is better, my father just died recently in my arms. I never wish any harm or bad things for anyone, despite how I'm treated. Be safe and healthy.
ive been thinking of them as cultivar groups, like a subspecies. instead of a single gene line its a diverse group of genes (multiple organisms) grown as a line.
Thats a great way of thinking of them! Yes and the diverse group is all the stronger the more adaptable it is, and probably like with bodies and exercise, good forms of stress can be a healthy opportunity to strengthen the group. It’s very exciting!!
@@thegourmetgardenschool yes exactly. natural selection is much faster if you dont have to wait a decades for mutations and by putting it under natural stresses it will select for resistant just like in the wild. goes best with perma culture where you want to let pests like aphids run around anyway to attract predators: much better than spraying poison!
Hi Ian could you please spell out the name of the lymphatic drainage herb? Love your work . Thanks for sharing with us all.
Hi June, yes, Cleavers (Galium aparine). I love them!
For anyone interested to learn more about Seed to Feed- my 13 week by donation program: www.thegourmetgarden.school/seedtofeed Anyone keen to take part in my Sweetcorn Landrace Gardening Sovereign Seed Initiative www.thegourmetgarden.school/the-great-australian-landrace
Very clever. It makes so much sense. 🙂
Yeah I feel the same.. A really exciting extra step that we can choose if we want🥳
A landrace is a plant that emerged as an ecotype within a specific niche basically. Great video! Thank you!
Ooh i like your description, thanks for sharing it so eloquently 😊. Yes i’m very excited by what landracing our crops has to offer!
Where can I buy some chamomile flower with good seeds?
Do you live in Australia? I've bought mine through Austral Herbs, but in my experience any of the loose flower chamomile teas have a high germination rate if we select the most mature seeds that naturally becomes settles at the bottom of a packet. I'd love to hear how you go:)
@@ianepicearth I am from California, I will have to checkout and see if there is a company that sell chamomile tea and hopefully I can get a high germination rate
@@ZE308AC I hope so for your sake too! I bet you will!
African Blue Basil is another herb you need if your ground does not freeze
Ooh thank you, that's an excellent suggestion! I'm not growing that type & I'm keen to now you suggest it! I'm a BIG fan of the basils, all of them seem to be of value and some more prolific than others depending on conditions. One of the perennials I love is the tulsi basil- AMAZING bee forage and aside from it growing too tall for typical veggie garden preferences, it's a great hedging, food forest, and edge plant! Thanks for sharing that, basils are so worth a mention!
@@ianepicearth Your welcome, I am glad to share information with people around the world.
I am so glad to have found you. I heard about you this morning through the Botanical Bazaare newsletter. I have since registered for your one-hour masterclass and purchased your supercharge online course. :-)
Loved the video!! All great strategies which I am currently employing, and can personally attest! Live, love, grow!!
Thanks for sharing your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it:)
How very appropriate. In the next few days I will be planting some Broad beans for the first time, so thank you Ian for this very opportune advice. Would you recommend an organic feed with seaweed in it?😊
Oh yes Hazel I certainly would:). Broad beans hey, remember you can eat the new tip growth on them while they are growing without compromising bean yield!
This is so informative. An absolute must watch/listen if you care about your garden soil.😊
Thank you Ian. A very Inspiring, Entertaining, Interesting and Encouraging introduction to your presentation to the Macleay Valley Seed Savers in Kempsey. Well worth watching - recommended. Can't wait to hear the next Session.
Thank you so much for a quick but so informative little vid. Happy gardening 👩🌾

Wow, that is extremely informative and helpful. Well worth watching, digesting and watching again. Then get started on the road to growing our own tasty vegetables and fruit. Thanks Ian.
Thanks ❤
What causes the fermented process if there is no yeast ? Curious
The yeast is supplied by the wild yeasts from the air that fall through the cloth covering the pot + any that were present in the honey or on the fruit. There's alot of wild yeast living on the skin of fruit, but because i peeled these mangos, most (but not all) of the yeasts on the skin would have been lost. Plenty enough around in the air though, and the main reason that commercial brewers wouldn't want them is their inherent wildness and unpredictability.
And thank you for the video how did it turn out ?
It's still fermenting!- It's in the long term phase now, in my experience mead just gets better and better over months and years. Still haven't bottled it!
We did try a sip of the one with anise hyssop and i'm sad to say the flavours were overpowering. A light infusion added could have been great, but steeping in the brew as it fermented made it taste awful. Luckily the others didn't have any and were spared the fate of rejection. Ahh the experimenting never ends:)
When you leave it for a few days do you just leave the pot out in a area of 25 degrees c or are you cooking it at 25
We left the pot out in ambient temps, approx 25C for those initial few days. No external heat needed, but if trying this where air temps are low, a controlled brewing temp would be best.

That's great. Thanks!
Thanks Julie, did you catch the replays?
Look forward to the next video, I’m always collecting seaweed and putting it in my compost and in a bucket of water for fertilisers
Good on you, it's such a wonderful resource, potent for plant and soil health in multiple ways:)
Thanks. A lot to absorb but very interesting.
Thanks Gwen, I appreciate your feedback! Yes i need to refine the art of distilling the essence of what's important:). So much info, it's easy to dive too deep!
Not sure of indigenous land name but in Brisbane. And thank you for your time and advice
Thanks, my pleasure:)
yes! i like your perspective hehe
Thanks, always worth a try hey:)
Thanks Ian. This week I scythed a patch of monsterous grass to build my garden again, which had some flood affected grass and plant life. I've gone through and aerated the soil today, which looked okay and I added some lime and manure. With this rain I'm hoping for it to spread through the soil. I really loved your suggestion in this video, I think in the coming days I'm going to dig up some rows, add the scythed grass, then put the soil on top with some blood and bones... and cover crop is a cool idea while i nurse my food crop to young seedlinghood. Thank you so much for the inspiration, deeply appreciated. I'll send some piccies
Thanks Josh, my pleasure, the project you've described, sounds like a great approach! Much to learn and play with hey, and getting in and having a go is the only way. Yes please do share some pix:). Best shared in the Grow a Gourmet Garden Group where others can benefit too:) facebook.com/groups/growagourmetgarden
Thanks Ian, I am watching your TH-cam from Gumbaynggirr country (Bellingen). Feeling inspired by your authentic open inspiring vision.
