Growing in Bosco's Boots | Documentary (2024)

- Here is a little documentary film we made chronicling the creation of our no dig permaculture homestead, market garden and food forest in Kilkenny, Ireland. Over 4 years, we transformed an empty field into a garden, including wildlife ponds for nurturing a balance of biodiversity; A garden ecosystem that we came to find integral to growing healthy plants and truly organic food. We set up a farm shop that surged in popularity over the years and we even began supplying local restaurants with our amazing vegetables grown in living soil.
This is our story. A tale of growth. A film and a dream, many years in the making. A dedication to my brother, Bosco, and our garden which we named in his memory. A testament to the utility and satisfaction of gardening/farming with nature. I hope you enjoy it.

And what a great film it is. Well done. I just loved how you conveyed the importance of energy conservation and distribution.
Thanks Odhran!
So in blocks C and D you didn't use cardboard? Just the plastic tarp over winter and compost and wood chips in early spring? Did you broadfork them first.
@odhrancrowe3894 yeah, it was there from June until January. I used a little bit of cardboard where the plastic didn't stretch to. I didn't broadfork at all, but I did in the polytunnel since it had been extremely compacted after I let the donkeys into the spot where we placed it in the winter of 21/22, when it was wet and after it had been tilled. I didn’t broadfork anywhere else. I don't even own a proper one. I just used a regular garden fork in the manner of a broadfork; lifting the soil but not turning it.
Very interesting. I'm actually in a situation at the moment where I need to extend, expand, ASAP alot of garden beds. There is everything in this project from tarped out sections which I will approach as you have said. I had planned to broad fork these areas but I think now once compost has broken down ill just put it on and plant out autumn plants direct. Other areas are making me nauseous, last years tilled beds.... running down hill🤪 all kinda native plants in different succession of reclaiming the land. Such a mess. But seen the video of you opening up those new areas so fast has helped me regain focus. I'll just have to work with the trapped out areas and forget about the out of control shaped beds till the new-year. I'm going to have to for go cardboard on this project but will have the means to apply the full 15cm or even more.
As for in tunnels I think because of the unnatural setting and interaction of the whole situation I think we just have to broadfork to get things established. I would love to experiment with not broadforking I think if one were to carry out a winter regime of watering on empty beds at a scale to match the rain I think by the following year the soil may have become decompact. But left to the desert style environment a polytunnel is I think a once off forking without turning is nessery for all tunnels.
@@odhrancrowe3894 I actually can't wait to visit ye again and see what you've been getting up to. 🤣
Ahh i loved that mate ..you've uncovered the secret that all long time gardeners feel. " When your garden comes to life , you too will come to life ! "
Cheers! Glad you liked it. It is so simple yet so powerful a thing...
This was amazing! I laughed and cried. What a beautiful journey. I buy my acreage in AZ for a green the desert project this October! Thank you for inspiring my quest!
Thanks! All the best with your venture.
Such a beautiful video my heart feels so full ❤
Thanks!
Woweee! Thank you so much for this piece of art
"Inspirational boot up the ass" 🤣 I love it! All the best with your endeavours.
Serenade the cows; they love music! Lovely story!❤️ I usually an anxious to get in the garden but serious health problems have me sidelined this year!☹️
A good excuse to chill out and enjoy the garden while you recover. Hope you're back on your feet soon.
Absolutely loved your documentary!! Definitely a magnificent garden/ecosystem that Bosco would be (IS) proud of. Really made me quite emotional 🥲 Follow your dream.
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
This video is so beautiful,

Terrific documentary showing hard work and also a lot of fun with amazing results. Bosco's around all the time and would be so proud of all your endeavours. You show that dreams can come true if you really want them to.
Thanks, mam.
Hey Shane! Wonderful video. Thank you. I enjoy feeling connected, something that this world is all about, yet nowadays disconnects. Your message connects, your passion and truth, I can resonate and vibrate with that. I hope to continue learning your story and absorbing your passion.
By the way, I changed my channel name, it’s back to Aums Acre. Aum meaning constant state of vibration in which everything creates. Acre, because we’ve converted our entire acre to wildlife and growing food.

Thanks buddy! Good name... Wishing you peace in your acre 🕉✌️
Beautiful.

Love what you are doing, I would love land to grow food. I always wondered why you called it Boscos Garden, a lovely tribute to him
Thanks!

Thanks for watching!
What an amazing story and video. I am so happy for you and your family. I am starting something similar and all I can pray for is that I end up like you. Looks like I have found happiness. I still have a lot to go but I stop every day to look what I accomplished. As I end the day I go to see the sunset in the ocean to give thanks to God for another day that I got to live and fall asleep to hopefully wake up and or it all over again. God bless you !
Beautifully done.
Thanks!

Thanks for watching!
Awesome video!!!
Thanks Rowan! :)
I was wondering how you did the wildflower garden in the front yard, did you just throw out seeds into the existing grass? Such a lovely life you have built for you and your family in your brother's memory.❤
No seeds. All those flowers were already part of the lawn. We just let them grow. Most lawns will be like that unless they've been heavily sprayed or fertilised.
Nice doco
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing documentary! Well done. One question, did you try growing potatoes in the No dig set up?
Thanks! Yeah, no dig is great for potatoes. You need to top them up with a good amount of compost, at least once though. Very important or a lot of them will pop out and turn green. Good for preventing frost damage on early spuds too.
You could also try doing them with straw, away from your beds of greens, since slugs won't eat potatoes. I did that years ago, and it worked pretty well.
Great job. I am trying something similar in New Mexico to feed families.
Thanks! All the best with it!
