Cant wait for the starfruit

Starfruit is full of minerals and refreshing on a hot day. Replacing what I'm sweating out. I think of it as a tart mineral water. 💧

Love the serenity of your garden.

Don't eat all my fruits :) th-cam.com/video/fBocK1OLkPY/w-d-xo.html Thank you for growing them with care and sharing with us. Hope to visit your collection one day. Cheers.

What a shame there are rules you cant sell mangos from trees that are integrated with cows, which is a biological natural animal, but theres No problems with other farms selling fruit sprayed with copper and other fungicides.....

Loved the plant slection in this video. I am currently growing caapi and brugmansia. I enjoy cactus as well. Some aloes, agaves, lophophora, and trichocerus. All the other plants were amazing too. Your videos are very informational and inspirational. Thanks for sharing

I don't like vines on the trees!

I love ❤️ my fruit trees 🌳

Looking gorgeous my friend!! Wow!!

Midnight was being a little butt lol

Thanks for sharing brother!

Eric have you thought doing a video on the other plants you have there, its great to see the diversity

Greetings Brother Eric ... Much respect

Such a pretty herd of zebu. Pepsis colors are just unreal

Whoa 😮 very nice. Great looking system. Impressive

Yes have seen this happen before, so working towards this on our relatively new system. At our old place our Citrus suffered from fruit fly. As soon as the soil and trees got healthy then no more problems. If I grew citrus from the current trees, will I get fruit trees the same as the tree I picked the fruit from ? Thanks

Hey Brother Eric, great conversation! I don't really have a problem with insects in my food forest, but I do have a problem with annual leafy greens during the summer months .. Have an amazing week.

Very informative video...Ty

Root feeding nematodes get attacked by beneficial nematodes in a balanced system.

How can I apply your techniques and methodology to potted fruit trees?

U are totally correct,❤

Yes the authorities are dictated by a group looking to implement their agenda. Sad that a good common sense approach of healthy organic food has a blacklisting on it.

You are the purist farmer I have ever heard of.

God I would love to camp out on your farm for a year tasting each and every thing as it comes into ripeness or try even! Amazing job truly awesome

How do you keep insects out of your fruits? I cant even spray in rainy season it washes away and the bugs are super fast Every fruit i grow is heavily atyacked by bugs , sure some fruits dont get attacked until its ripe and you can pick it early to get somthing , but soo any fruits get atyacked while small and thin skinned , like papaya wasp , or worms on my watermelons , or fruit fly on my guava

I love your content Eric. You're so connected to nature. Thank you.

I use compost and rock dust. Earth worms 🪱 and soil microbes balance our nutrients.

Thank you

Very interesting video full of a lot of concepts that need to be pondered. Much of it makes a lot of sense when you sit back and think about it. To try and answer your question as to why we have changed the way we fertilize so significantly in the last 70 years, I think it's due to population growth. In 1950, the US had a population of 148M. Today, it has a population of 342M, at least. Back in the 1950's, we had compact cities surrounded by medium suburbs, followed by sprawling rural areas. It wasn't unusual to own 0.5-1 acre of land in suburban areas, and much of the population was located in rural areas with big acreage. With the 2.3X increase in population that happened so quickly, now we have these sprawling suburbs where most people are jammed in like sardines on 7,500 square ft lots, and the rural population has dropped off dramatically and farmland has been gobbled up. So, the question is, for people that live in these small suburban plots, but they want to grow food, how do they get the materials they need? The solution has been largely bagged fertilizers. I recently purchased a little over 3 acres of land in Florida. My dream is to one day convert the big, sandy field into a system similar to what you have, although a bit different since it's North Central Florida and will contain more temperate species. But, I see the challenges only growing larger and larger as rural land becomes scarcer and we rely on fewer and fewer farms to grow more and more food. A growing population with shrinking farmland is at odds with each other.

A question from Australia. I see the average rainfall according to Google for Florida is about 54 inches. Would this be correct in your location in Florida as I know it varies quite a lot. We get around 40 inches , but we do get a massive variation. One year 65 inches next year can easily be less than 20 inches. Last year we had a 6 month period of only 5mm . This is pretty normal. So while establishing our system I am cautious. Thanks for your information.

Good info on the black sapote. I can’t wait to try a sweet one

Do you tip and prune your mango 🥭 trees?

Compost fines filter down deep over time, increasing the soil microbe zone

Did you get rain yesterday?

Hi Eric. I've been responding to your emails but maybe it's getting lost in the spam.

as you have said Eric ,theres nobody weeding the woods /jungles for the trees and plants, i agree with you, before i saw your first Video I watched i was in the same mind set as others, now i thinking like your self the plants help each other stop evaporation from the soil,and jungle or semi jungle plants do thrive in part or full shade!

your videos are awesome , i never thought about the plants expressing genes in low light conditions, i'm glad to see your stuff doing well in dapple and shade because i would like to try that with my ultra high density gardens

That seems so cheap to me from Australia, the plot next door to you.

what are your thoughts on making a fermented version of your tree leaf tea and spraying that on younger seedling trees to provide possible microbial life that may aid in the seedlings growth/health? My thinking is that by making a biodiverse tea of the healthy mature trees leaves and spraying that water on young seedlings would mimic rain drops from a healthy tree canopy. 🤷‍♂

Hi Eric, Do you grow monsterra deliciosa? Thank you for the constant ideas and videos!

I look forward to your videos. Your efforts are appreciated 😊

Hi eric! It looks like you just plant your seeds kind of wherever, are you worried about shade from the surrounding trees or can fruit trees still fruit within shade?

I worked at an organic lettuce farm. Every time a row was made for lettuce plugs it was covered with plastic. I thought nothing of it at the time. I imagine that soil is full of plastic particles and forever chemicals.

Love the variety of unusual fruit trees

Good Morning Brother Eric ... Food forest looks lush and beautiful.

Hi Eric, how do you recommend getting micronutrients in your soil biome naturally? I hear ppl say all the time how Florida doesn't have much calcium or micronutrients in the soil (in relation to the mango growing community). Any tips for micronutrients deficiencies?

Hey Brother Eric .Thank you ..Great conversation,Thanks for highlighting the importance of eating clean, crucial reminder for staying healthy and taking care of our bodies Much love and respect !

Greeting Brother Eric .. Have a wonderful weekend ... Enjoyed the video as always

is the pink flower some sort of Alpinia?
