Have a wonderful week.
Pin this so its at the top. Much love and blessings :)
It's good to see a fellow bare foot gardener, it's important to have a very good connection to the ground around you.
Absolutely.
I actually prefer to be completely nude in the garden …at night under the stars.
Uhuh come to Texas where I’m at and walk in my garden bare foot I dare ya 😂😂😂

Extra scene after the video-
David sneaks up at night into the garden, and takes a bite of that cool looking flower😂
I appreciate your saying that you don't know why something isn't producing.... So many TH-camrs show only the good stuff and don't mention anything less than great, much less that they don't know why.
I learn a lot from others. Time is so short… it doesn’t make sense to pretend!
I was going to say the same.
@@davidthegood Had the same problem with goji berry.. it needs another goji variety for successful pollination.
It's amazing how you can just remember what everything is, just by the leaves.
It's growing so well because its in ALABAMA...ha! Thanks for the tour David and Rachel. I am very happy for you that this garden is blessing your family with so much food. Grow on!
I am in awe at your food forest ‼️. It is so wonderful to watch.
I’m in the hot Dry windy sandy desert of nw Nevada . Been here just under 19 yrs & still trying to figure out gardening here 😢
Yes, got a greenhouse & had to put an evap cooler in & trying shade cloth on the hotter side.
Gardening is a def challenge but I won’t give up 👍🤩
Have a great day y’all
👵🏻👩🌾❣️
You have a great attitude.
@@davidthegood
Can’t give up… just gotta find the right adjustment 🤣🤣👵🏻👩🌾❣️
In desert areas of Africa, they're having success by planting in dug out areas. They look like big bowls. Any moisture will condense in the lowest, coolest areas. May you could try something like that. Maybe shade cloth over the top?
Definitely mulch, compost, and cover crop like crazy so that sand turns into a lovely growable soil 😊
@deecooper1567 Check out Team Benson's Desert Garden in Arizona. Shamira has a small, backyard garden, but some good desert gardening tips. 🤓
I seldom watch your videos, i listen to them while I am gardening. I am from Malaysia, tropical rainforest gardening in my own houseyards. I always tried to grow plants that easily decimated by the heat, all year around. I was thinking to get japanese persimmons to plant, cause u said it is really nice, almost like mango. And i just laughed and laughed. I have a mango tree that fruiting more than 100 fruits. So, listening you over and over again while gardening really gets me going, and reminds myself I need to plant things that grow well in my climate, tons of it. Well done and you’re my inspiration. Heartfelt gratitude and appreciation from 1huzlives.
Rock on. Thank you.
that is one beautiful property my friend thank you for helping inspire others to do the same or similar!!
Thank you.
Kudos on you beautiful garden. Proofs in the garden!
Whuuh? We're zone 5 in Michigan, and still getting things planted? I'm so inspired🤗❤️
I swear I love ya'all...your sense of humor is on my level!!!! 🤣
You convinced me to start a garden and to break all the rules. I took leaf mould from under trees on my property and tilled that into my clay soil. Went straight into that and grew hundreds of lbs. it’ll keep getting better and I only spent 100 bucks total for the 4 beds and tat was ferts. I was almost convinced I had to spend many times that until I found your rebel vids. Thanks homie I think I’m a gardening dude for life now :)
I'm 2 years in Crawfordville FL, planted lots of fruit trees, cassava, suncokes, sweet potato and so on... most everything is struggling if not dying. I have water timers, because if I didn't water I'd have nothing. I'll keep trying. your videos keep me hopedul.
It is tough.
@davidthegood Well that's not helpful
...😁
@@valerielillie7428 what else about your set up can you share? Is there mulch? How much? Also where is the water from, and have you added anything to the soil else to the soil?
@@valerielillie7428did you ask a question?? I'm not sure what help you were seeking... looks like you have a start at least.
@@TheDiligentSoul No question, just sulking over poor results over a two year period that David was able to get amazing returns.
"China wishes it had this Cassava". I literally fell off my chair laughing David! Keep up the good work! We appreciate you.
I can attest that the Grocery Row Gardening Method works really well. I live in San Antonio, TX, and have four rows that are 70 feet long. My fruit trees are planted 8-10 feet apart, and between each fruit tree, I have a block of four Moringa trees to provide dappled shade and fodder for my TAMUK rabbits.
For my understory, I grow chicory, a 10th generation green chard that I've been selectively breeding, and Turk's Cap (Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii) for edible leaves and bunny food. I also grow white popping sorghum, golden giant amaranth, Mongolian sunflowers, goji berries, blackberries, Florida Everglades tomatoes, and I'm trying Seminole pumpkins again this year, although the vine borers eventually destroy them.
A word of advice: you really do want three feet between your rows. I only made a 1.5-foot aisle to squeeze in an extra row, and it's very hard to turn a wheelbarrow around inside the garden. This is a fantastic system of gardening once it's up and going, and the maintenance is quite low if you plant a lot of perennials. Plus, it's just way more athestically pleasing to the eye than a normal garden.
I have about 14 rabbits now producing enough fertilizer and mulch (pine shavings) for the entire garden, and they love to eat the weeds and tree clippings. It's a beautiful system.
This is awesome. You should join the Skool community and post pics! I would love to have you over there. The pathways really do need that space.
Beautiful and impressive .
I saw how much you wanted to use Pete’s line in the beginning ..”Show you what’s G(r)oing on..” Well, done, but next time try it, and see if a rare fruit tree shows up, not that you need much more in the grocery row (jungle) garden. Looks amazing! DTG
Also we need a song, It’s Machete time! (in the Melody of It’s Peanut Butter and Jelly time).
Oh, I remember the Jerusalem f-rt achokes story. 😂😂 And many of us know that is why you don’t eat them. I definitely can’t eat them with my sensitive stomach. God Bless you and Rachel.
Split that comfrey route into forms and put them all around Manuel watermelon so beautiful all over the place. I got some canary melons growing.
Yes, for the Grower Jim shout out! He's fantastic. Garden is looking awesome, David! 😊
Don't axe the Gojis just yet!! They take living a full 3 years in one place to really 'decide' to put forth fruit from blossom.. the second huge issue is pollinators. They are self producing, but that little extra aspect being tended to, the pollination, will set fruit drastically greater.
The sun and watering seems to look like it's not a problem from the video, but extra sun and water never hurt the Goji!!
I was introduced to Goji back in 2003, and have been a fan and a student ever since.
..and they take roots in a glass of water super easily too! About as easy as the passionflower.. both I'm currently propagating by the dozen.. Happy Gardening, Brother!
Thank you very much for the tips - happy gardening to you as well.
Those orange flowers at 31:31 grow in all the ditches even here in the great white north as well . funny how dispersed they are in north america. I also use the Rose hips as decoration and have debated on using them as a deterrent type of hedge because the deer decimate cedar and the fruit are extremely nutritional and is a great to add to jams ive found. Its wild tho when you think about it how many things that do grow in both the far north here in Canada as well as in the south in florida and other southern states . As usual you have a Great garden David , thank you for the video Rachel . I love how you both make this gardening thingy so much fun lol . Take care
Jungle Row Gardeing now! 😅 Looks AMAZING! Im gonna put more effort into making our own along with already established single row gardens. God bless yall DTG!
Hi David.
I live in a semi desert area in Colorado . We hardly have good rain here. Two weeks ago,I prayed and danced for rain. Surprisingly, we had a pond in our backyard the next morning. I watched your video when you were using pond water.Now, that's what I am doing. Wishing that I will have good crops this Summer through Fall.
I could watch your garden tours all day😊
It's all looking fantastic 👍
Very inspiring.
we're in the heart of winter down here in Australia, so it's really nice to see a beautiful summer garden, especially one that looks so good.
Great job 👏👏👏
I love your garden it’s gorgeous please get a drone shot of it
Poor Ms Rachel having to try to follow y'all. Garden is absolutely crazy. Y'all barefoot in snake season is a bit crazy. Thank y'all for sharing. Have a blessed day.
“Just eat it.” 😂 11:58
I recall reading that it takes the goji plant about 3 years before she starts to berry. You got some nice lookin’ greens everywhere!
Trust.
She gone be fine.😂😂
Thank you for your Grocery Row Gardening book! I enjoy continuing to learn from it. 🌱
I call that food forest blessings. The Lord had blessed you a lot.. nice video 🙏
I would love to see you harvest your cane and what you do with it
Ive been dying to see the good garden. Thanks for the tour
nice vid glad to see the extra efforts
Wow, that is beautiful.
Blessings to you & family from FNQ Australia
I got a 10 foot tall 3' wide brandy wine tomato plant you need to see, south ga and it was 2 months late , I didn't even wanna grow tomatoes when I planned my garden
Came for some topic, stayed for your spiritually sound attitude. And now I'm not regretting it when I lol'd at your massive finished collection of 2023 readings. I need to set down the TH-cam and pick back up my books by the saints!
Those readings converted me to the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church! Thank you.
Yeah if its not to much of a pain in the neck, it gets to stay , love that!
I am cheap....thrifty or frivolouseses.... alabama loves you dave and loves your hard work at this. The place looks amaze balls....
I still want a full version of "Bambooza" on Spotify to add to my "homestead" playlist.
Congratulations dude! It looks like you found your forever home!
Thank you.
Bravo looks excellent? I have 4 years!
Work of art!
Thanks for sharing man , beautiful
Looks beautiful! 🤗
Other gardeners grow food forests, DTG grows a food jungle.❤ Will those yams that make Ariel roots grow in zone 6?
The D. Polystachya will
@@davidthegood Thanks
Those little Rosa Rugosa fruits, or Rose Hips, ARE SUPER HIGH in Vitamin C..
The Goji Berry is also a Complete Protein.
hey David, our goji don't fruit either, but the round ish leaf type like yours can be leaf stripped and boiled, just watch for spikes when stripping leaf.
I have goji berry plant in south Mississippi. Pretty sure they want high pH soil. They’ve grown in my acidic soil but had some leaf drop issues, no fruit.
Thumbs up bump algo 😀
I love your machete pointer.
My only guess on the gojis is that they need more cross pollination, so more different goji berry bushes nearby. Loved the tour, always excited to see more "lazy" gardening videos :)
One of my favorite uses for rugosa roses is making Cheong from the petals. For the uninitiated, Cheong is a Korean syrup made using the osmotic pressure exerted by sugar crystals to draw out the liquid from fruit or really any kind of vegetation. They retain a lot more flavor than cooked syrups due the lack of heat denaturing or boiling off volatile aromatics. The rugosa rose petal Cheong is great on pancakes, drizzled over vanilla ice cream, or added to a gin and tonic ( or other cocktails)
Oh, and one of the great things about using the petals is that they can be used while leaving the hip to develop for harvest later on. also, I want to encourage your idea with training the peach up high. You can open up the center, train the primary scaffold branches upward to form the basic vase structure, and then train them to grow outward once they reach seven or eight feet off the ground and They’ll form a living arbor for training vines to. Then prune them to bear fruit out on the periphery where their weight will bring them down into view as they ripen.
That sounds amazing.
Yeah the beards back!
❤ the garden.
Thank you
I did this because my garden burnt down in a big fire. I called it the emergency bed. All my raised beds were burned. My first garden beds were the no-dig method, but it didn't work well in my clay and stone soil. I had made paths between the rows with cardboard and mulch. I just left this bed empty. After 3 years it was all composted, but unfortunately also overgrown with weeds. I started to remove all the weeds and stones right after the fire and spread more bought soil and compost and planted trees, flowers and flowering shrubs and succulents in between I put zucchini, watermelon, pumpkin, cabbage and sunflowers.
Everything is growing great and I'm thinking about expanding it and planting the rest in the same way. It's an insane amount of work but it's worth it because my vegetables have never looked so healthy!
Can I ask where you are buying your specialty plants from? I also live in zone 8B. Learning a lot from your videos. Thank you
Bare feet! You obviously don’t have poisonous snakes? We are in a very similar climate to you here in QLD Australia. But I see a venomous snake every few days here. So have to be careful.
Do you wear long pants aswell? Because shoes are pointless if you're wearing shorts.
Sorry I'll mind my business
Have a great day.
Beautiful site
I forget what site it was but they discovered two American chestnut trees that survived death and are disease free. Maybe the return of the American chestnut will be on the return. They verified that it is American chestnut.
You make me realize how behind I am on my grocery row garden. Of course a foot amputation has slowed that down. But has not stopped me. I got deer netting up because deer were nibbling on the young trees. They look so much better just 3 weeks later. Getting melons and pumpkins planted soon. Later than i wanted but with the way our weather has been, probably will be fine. Potatoes are looking good. Blueberries are looking good. Gooseberries and Fig havent taken off yet which makes me feel like they died. Win some, lose some. Replace with more later. In this for the long haul for sure.
Good attitude. I am so sorry about your foot. I can't imagine.
@@davidthegoodyeah, I was hoping for a reconstruction. Got my a1c down and right before Easter my bone said "nope I'm coming through whether you want it or not" but I've adapted well so far. I wish I could speed up the process for the prosthetic. I can't be in the garden as much as I would like. My 2 teens don't want to help much at this time and I don't want to put it all on my Wife. But keep a once a week check over the grocery row garden right now and an every couple of days check on the raised beds in the backyard.
Im on year 1 of starting a food forest. Islands on the east and west sides that had empty gaps in the yard. It's not on my property. Southern Minnesota.
I"m in WI and my goji berries are nuts.
cool I totally wasnt there yesterday
I am so jealous of your galangal plants. I can't find fresh roots to plant here in South Africa.
My weeds don't even get that tall after 2 years. Looks great but I even struggle to grow hybrid willow! :D
Just out of curiosity, what do you do with your Sorrel/Roselle? We (I) mostly make jams and an occasional liquor from them, I grow around 100 plants a year, it's one of the easiest and one of my fav annuals to grow.
We make cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving, mostly. See here for how my wife makes it: thesurvivalgardener.com/thanksgiving-florida-cranberry-relis/
@@davidthegood Cool, another recipe for my Sorrel! :)
As a Hongkonger, we use Goji leaves for soup, just boil them with some pork or bones
I came up with this recipe for Jerusalem Artichokes... no gas... everyone loves it ♥
Chow Chow:
5 cups Jerusalem Artichokes
5 cups cabbage
5 cups Onion
5 cups Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Salt
5 cups Sugar
4 Tablespoons Mustard Powder
3 Tablespoons Celery Seed
1 Tablespoon Turmeric
10 cups Vinegar
Combine the cabbage, onions, bell peppers, artichokes, and salt in a large bowl.
Soak the mixture overnight in the refrigerator and drain.
In a large saucepan over medium heat combine the sugar, mustard, turmeric, celery seed, and vinegar.
Simmer mixture for 10 minutes. Add the vegetables stir well and simmer until hot and well seasoned.
Pack the chow-chow into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space in jar.
Put on 2 piece lid.
Heat the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal the lids.
❤❤❤Beautiful
Great!
David, just wanted to ask you why you dislike squash and zucchini?
I assume it's because it such a large and brings bugs.
Enjoyed your garden tour, it is beautiful
I do not like the flavor at all. I do like cucuzza, though.
In sweden we picked wild rosehips and made soul on them. Full of vit c and no citrus fruit grows up here. Rosehip soup goes way back to viking time. You can dru them grind them up for soup in the winter. Thats why vikings could travel fsr and wide and not get sick and loose teeth from lack of vit c
Is the basjoo a potassium concentrator?
What do you do with the cassava?
We boil and fry it, mostly, and add it to stews.
Are you filming in 4k? It looks great and super content as always.
I film in 1080, but have a good camera
Maybe 60fps on this one
Curious if you’ve noticed whether Sunchoke is a soil builder where you are? I’ve seen it turn orange clay soil completely black around its roots in a year but I haven’t come across any mention of soil building on other sites like permies.
I'm not sure.
David, for those of us new growers would you say what you do with some of your crops? You have many crops that are not familiar to some of us as far as their use such as cassava & sugar cane. Wondering whether to give them space in the garden. Pretty please? Thanks
We are discussing cooking and use over in the survival gardener community. Skool.com/the-survival-gardener/
@@davidthegood oh, ok. Gotcha. Thx
Whereabout in the world is this garden???So exotic.
Thank you. Lower Alabama.
🌸🌺🌸Aloha from Makawao Maui Hawaii 🌸🌺🌸
Good to see you again.
In NC, zone 8a/8b line. What plants in addition to Cannas (i have some, but i think they need more sun than they're getting atm) and Bananas do you recommend for chop and drop? I have mostly part to full shade in the back yard, comfrey is doing well back there so far.
Mostly whatever weeds you can grow - and sunn hemp.
19:15 looks like tree of heaven to me. Just as unwanted!
I hear you talk about dioscorea alata from time to time. Is that the purple yam know as ube? The one that makes a jam, ice cream, breads and desserts? Because I would love to know if that will grow in zone 9b? And how to find some to plant?
Also how do you find those ones that you say are invasive that make the little things above ground you cook in butter and garlic? And if I put it in a container will I be able to keep it controlled? Don’t want it to take over everything but want to try it. Don’t really like containers but my mint is in containers and so is a bamboo I have that is a running kind. I just like the color of the cane but not the running part.😂
D. alata comes in purple and white types - we grow both. The purple are commonly called "ube." You need a good-sized container because the roots get big. It's not that hard to control, though.
What's the best avocado tree to get here in South Alabama 🤔
I understand wanting to keep the fruit trees short...But letting them get tall, and cutting off the lower branches seems like the way to go.
From nothing to Amazing!
Question!!! How are you able to walk Barefoot in your garden in July?? I am burning my feet when I try right now in Texas and I have woodchips throughout my grocery row garden.
There is a lot of shade in here, and we work early in the morning or late in the day. Also, I have tough feet from walking barefoot for years.
My goji berries bloomed and didn't fruit this year, too. I wonder what's up.
Can you use city water to water your plants?
Yes, we do. Can't afford a well yet!
Beautiful! Dreaming of our food forest. My husband grew up on a traditional agricultural farm. His grandfather hobby farmed everything for years. I am a suburban girl who moved a lot, so this whole concept is new for us both. He was wondering how you address disease and fungus that comes to affect the plants. They would cut them down and put them into a brush dump, but with the chop snd drop concept, does that spread disease? How do you handle these things as they come up? I noticed in the video you mentioned a plant had a disease but then still fruited later in the year. Does the issue spread or is it reoccurring? Thank you, in advance, for any advice you have to offer. We are eager to get things started but are somewhat stuck in the old ways as we transition out to this new to us concept. Many Blessings to you and yours!-Julie Post
We chop and drop and let nature sort it out. We usually don't worry about it, except for things like fireblight.
@@davidthegood thank you!! Should we burn the fireblight if we come across it (after we remove it from the affected plants)? Also, are there any companion plants we could put in to help deter this issue? Or is it just managed with good air flow and being on the watch for it?
30:54 what is this thing?? (Is it a lime buggy)
Interested in your comment about pruning trees after summer solstice. I’m wondering if I can do the with my apple tree. We are up in Minnesota.
Are you still located in Alabama, or did you go back to Florida? Thanks for your videos.
I am near the border of FL/AL on the Alabama side. Thank you.
Where did you buy the rose hip plant because I’ve been looking for it and I can’t find any no where. I live in Central Florida
Burnt Ridge Nursery, online.
What garlic do you plan on planting in your area? Im in zone 8a just above you by Pelham al.
I don't plant garlic anymore - I haven't done well with it.
Not specific to this video, but the channel in general. Would the problem of aminopyralid persistence apply to manure from corn fed hogs?
I do not think so. I have not heard of it in corn.
I'll tell you what, DON'T mess with angel trumpets!!! They'll make ya hallucinate AND temporarily blind... AT THE SAME TIME!
Are you saying Canas? What kind? Can they be used for duck food?
Canna musifolia. I don't know if ducks would eat them or not.
I wonder if I planted so densely if I would actually be able to grow food. Anytime I have tried to grow a normal vegetable garden it has died of pest damage and disease (zone 9a).
It helps to plant crops that can take the climate/pests, too. We don't grow a lot of "normal" vegetables.
@@davidthegood Thank you. Which one of your books would be good for my area?
