About Us.
Byther Farm is a small organic homestead, being designed and managed using permaculture practices. We aim for self-sufficiency in fruit and vegetables for increased self reliance and better resilience to the modern world. I recognise that we are unlikely to be truly self sufficient, but do the best we can. I share our home with my loving husband, Mr J and our cat, Monty.
We are a fifty-something couple who live on a smallholding in Carmarthenshire, Wales. We are going green and creating a gentler, cleaner and more healthy life for our family.
Having had a highly successful smallholding in Monmouthshire, we hope to recreate the abundance at our new home. There will be a large organic kitchen garden with no dig gardening raised beds and young food forest in which to grown our fruit and vegetables.
We keep a few sheep and Aylesbury ducks.

Here's a video from 5 years ago in which I'm dealing with the effects of the wind in the greenhouse th-cam.com/video/q7v1I8D3BA8/w-d-xo.html
Your channel just got a new fan. Serious self-sufficiency on TH-cam America almost doesn't exist anymore. They mostly contain drama, freak shows, political doomsday statements and sloppy morning TV. Glad I found the channel of yours.
I love the idea of making different rooms within the garden - creates a bit more excitement and entices you to explore. Thanks Liz for all the wind reducing ideas!!
If you'd like to see a humorous video about a wind issue in our last home, you can watch this th-cam.com/video/q7v1I8D3BA8/w-d-xo.html
Just what I needed! My house and garden are in a village, but there’s so much wind! The shape and size (1/10 acre) of the plot, and land planning regulations, means that I’ve been pondering over where to place windbreakers. Also I planted a skyrocket 2 years ago and it only seems to be waking up this year, it may have grown let’s say 5-10 cm? 😂 but the trunk has thickened healthily during that time. Love your work Liz.
I love how you share your ideas on caring for the wildlife. I find myself gardening as much for them as for my own family.
Interesting to watch, at times for me it's a real battle with the winds we get.
Nice idea with the angled fruit trees
Really great tips, I’d never sleep with all that wind I’d be so worrying about things blowing away! Thanks Liz!
This is the video I have been needing! I live on the prairie in Central Montana and it's windy quite a lot of the time.
We will be moving to a windy location, and I greatly appreciate these ideas!
My son and daughter-in-law live in the middle of wind farms so when you said that’s an indication that it’s windy area made sense. So they would should be able to benefit from your advice.
Great video Liz, looking forward to seeing those hedges grow 😀 stay safe David 👍👍
I live on a horribly windy hill, it can be very frustrating when all the plants are bending in the wind with tattered leaves. Slowly working on resolving the problem. I've had the wind push over outbuilding 😱.
Lovely clear view north in your film today😀😀😀
Hedges “lean” due to wind-pruning the buds on the upwind side…so the buds tend to grow on the downwind side…but your fruit tree planting idea should work with this.😀😀😀Jinxy
The wind last year was madness
Predictions are that it isn't going to become less as time goes on, so I'm doubling up/down the wind breaks!
Great video, Liz. Dead hedges are another good wind barrier - and a great alternative to chipping or burning tree prunings.
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
great video Liz. I learn so much from you.
What are chuckleberry's like? Do they sway to me, to you?
Great advice liz we live on a windy site so definitely know what you are dealing with 😊
This is incredibly helpful, thanks!
nice video liz
Hi Liz, my garden sits on one acre and it's very windy also really wet 9 months of the year. It's a challenge for sure.
hi Liz. Fabulous, interesting video as always. Thank you. Can you answer a question that has been puzzling me for some time. When a plant needs 6-8 hours sunshine a day, does that mean in winter or sum\er? (June-July). I have tried yo find the answer in gardening books but havsn't been successful. Thank you so much :-)
Thank you for many good ideas!
For wind stoping, people usually use trees, not fabric netings. I hope you not repeated the mistake with the fabric mulch....
Trees and bushes used to slow down the wind here.
