My problem with pruning is I always want to use most of the cuttings to start new plants. It seems like such a missed opportunity to expand your production instead of composting/burning them. Unless, of course, they're showing signs of disease. I especially feel guilty over elderberry, figs, wolf berries, raspberries, currants, strawberries, sweet potato vines, medicinal plants, most of my favoriteherbs and... hang on a second.. that's almost all the plants I grow. Hmm... 😂
Chopping and dropping is extremely satisfying! Free fertilizer! My bunnies and horse enjoy some shoppings too. DTG, you have created a food forresting crazy grandma here in SC! Love you and yours for it too!❤
Due to health challenges, we weren't able to take care of our garden in the spring. It is a paradise of weeds now. I used to hate weeds, but then I realized how important they are. I just wish they would go be important somewhere else. We're still getting food out of the garden. Hopefully, things will be better next year. We are recovered, by the way.
I started watching your videos during the pandemic. You were in the Caribbean. I'm in the Caribbean too. We are usually dry during this time but the La Niña weather pattern has been bringing a good amount of rain. Trees that were struggling are catching themselves. And I haven't had to hand water. My mulberry trees actually look like they may bear fruit soon. I just hope we don't get any hurricanes.
Made a grocery row garden on flat land. 2 things. He says 2 ft row min. You'll want way more if you don't have FULL sun. 2nd, check your row for rocks before planning anything.
I have to say I envy you. We are having another incredibly dry summer, after a pretty dry last 12 months, The only thing that will grow even when left to its own devices is well-established perennials like figs and grapes. Everything else is a disaster. Trying to build resilience in, but a lush jungle like yours is a pipe dream for us.
Love the hat! I bought the book you recommended a bit ago, “Grow a little Fruit Tree”, and now all the fruit trees I plant are smaller and manageable. I am also trying to plant them in twos and threes based on pollinators.
Tried the planting multiples nearby. Worked 1 time. Killed my others attempts. Word of advice if you want to try. ONLY do this with small or cheaper trees. Spent 300 on pears to have 2 of them die.
@@PreferredMethods had them about 18" to 2' in a triangle with some pears. About 2-3 ft with 2 apples. Both cases all but one died. Tried with 2 hazelnuts and it worked almost too well. They both stayed really small and grew really slow. If I could do it over again I'd space them out a little farther, min 3 ft away if the tree is already like ya get from the store (4 ft tall or so). The hazelnuts were just babies when I planted them. It's really hard to find apples, pears, and such that young.
I had to hard prune back a bunch of stuff this week. I've got a third of the backyard (that's not shaded out by the neighbor's crap, and 7' fence to provide some protection from critters) densely planted with apples, pears, persimmons, honeyberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes and gooseberries. With watermelons growing all down the rows that are supposed to be for walking. XD
I love the nutrient cycling and soil building that comes from the chop and drop technique but I would love to see more on the impact this process has on the insect populations and how it may or may not help with keeping down pressure from things that want to harvest your plants before you do?
I once uploaded a video using my machete and was copyright struck for the sound of the machete being picked up as a sound effect owned by some game maker. I of course disputed it and had the warning removed.
Love the new hat. It doesn't take lo good for everything to look like a jungle here in the south when you get rain every day, all day. We went 2 months with no rain to finally getting rain after everything in my new garden dying. Can be discouraging. Nice 🌶 and figs. God bless to you and the family.
I started a food forest in my front yard of my suburban home, over here in Cape Town, South Africa. I, so far, have a white mulberry (from a cutting), a fig (gift from a friend), lemon and mango (both from seed) planted and small. Then there is the Cape gooseberry as well, planning some more berry bushes and strawberry and sweet potato ground covers to kill the grass eventually, been 3 years so slowly getting there. Back yard I have my veggie patches with 1 survival sweet potato patch. Expanding front and back slowly as I increase soil build up.
In the last year and a half, I've turned my small loft into a garden. I started in three flower pots and still have some of the plants I started with. I haven't thrown away any soil, but I'm now at a stage were I make my own soil mix and don't bother buying it.
Cant beat chop and drop. Im still waiting for my fruit forest to be big enough to start to drop. These principles save soil from eroding and makes so much sense. I have some black poplar and alder between my fruit trees they are growinf so fast 😊
I'm living in Daphne Alabama..just a Stones throw away from you if your in LA. Pretty awesome stuff you got going there. I think everybody should have a yard that looks like that. As a renter currently what are some little things I can do to get started in that direction? Probably just get some potted fruit trees I imagine. Have had a couple gardens but have a bit of a black thumb so far 😂😂😂. Great video.
Yikes! Watching you swing that machete is scary! Im too accident prone as it is. I will stick to hand pruners. I've been pulling out the jungle in my back yard outer beds that look about the same. I like my weeds as they feed bees and monarchs but once they go to seed out they come! 😂😂❤😂 I dream of our property being more like yours but it just drives Mrs Bowtie crazy when she has to hire a sherpa to get to her car in the mornings!😮😮😂😂😂
Love the hat, David! Seeing your garden makes me wonder what the Garden of Eden looked like...how did Adam and Eve keep things trimmed and pruned-up...did he have a MACHETE?
. Shew love me some gardening i have 7ft tall plants of the hemp variety. Along with corn beans carrots pumpkins watermelons and cucumbers already learned a valuable lesson on those plant on different ends cant be beside each other . I have small orange round cucumbers. 😂 . Man i just jumped in feet first . Learned i can grow a dang sunflower that is absolutely a monster
I want to send in some video of my grocery row garden. I started it in February. I will do different versions for you. One with me telling you what i have where and one that is no audio so if you want to share either you can. Gotta clean up my pathway first. Lol
It is so funny... Here in the lovely sunny space coast area, 32754, of Sunny Florida... While everybody else is living the glory of their overgrown, super productive summer gardens, our garden has taken a big beat down from the crazy heat and blazing sun, with that super excessive UV index that just cooks all the fruit and veggie plants to literal death. From late May through late August we get cooked. Yet, we can grow most things straight through the rest of the year, if it doesn't freeze too hard. I must admit I envy those wonderful lush beautiful gardens producing all that food. Things here just got crispy and diseased and died a few weeks back. So, we've been planting our seeds to plant out here in a few more weeks. Full sun here is 4 early morning hours... Not all day!😊
I just wrote a very similar comment, we are in southern Europe but summers (and all year really) have got crazy hot and dry, I can only dream of growth like this. Yet we still have frosts and snow so we can only grow certain things year-round. We can only dream of this kind of lushness, everything is fried here.
I’m in SW FL. I hear yah. Originally from the North. The curve down here is just grow okra and sweet potatoes, work on chop and drop and ammending beds through the summer. I start planting about mid to end Sept. Even with shade cloth, it’s too hot in summer. I now plant veggies mid sept-mid may. Then start the composting and summer ammending all over again. I grow cover crops in summer too. Zone 9b and scorthed earth in summer.
Thank you for the update!!! Crazy how when I see it now I’m imagining how much insanely bigger it’ll be by next summer. And to the point about the cows, they look no different than a happy fed farm dog that has it better off than most!! Thank you for your perspective on nature friend! 🤙
Yeah mate. Will have to start taming our food forest this Summer coming here in Australia. 2 going on 3 year old and many trees are 15ft high already. Yes we also run numerous animals including cattle. Diary cattle are always bony looking but our beef cattle are fat as .
Are you losing any compost value by just laying your cuttings on the ground as opposed to covering them with other soil or composting and turning them in a compost pile? I hope that makes sense. I think you answered it in your video. I don't have a lot of biomass so it seems that I'm not getting a lot of decay from prunings. It just dries on the ground.
this spring I discovered a very heat tolerant and prolific dry bean native to the SW US, apparently the Tepary Bean has been cultivated in Arizona for hundreds of years, been here most of my life and never heard of them. I planted some in May (not the traditional season) I figured they would at least provide some nitrogen and biomass. they exceeded my expectations, doing very well till the tempters hit 110+, not many blossoms after that. The summer monsoon season is the correct time to plant them (July/August) Blossoms do best late September and October when temps are more favorable for bean production. I read there are studies for using them as hay, mine smelled like alfalfa after the vines/leaves dried. how could this gem have been overlooked? 🤔
Hey @davidthegood I'm curious if you have access to large old oak trees on your land. I've foraged the organic material that gathers in the cavities of old oaks, the material is that of finished worm castings. I've looked at samples under a microscope and its incredible. I've also added this material to my fetid swamp water, as well as directly to my soil. I made videos on this subject but it would be an awesome video idea for you to present as well if you have access to some oaks. Most people in the south do have access and it would be cool to see other gardeners use this material. 👨🌾
When is the best time to take mulberry prunings to propagate? I have a friend who has multiple mature trees that make delicious fruit who has agreed to let me take some cuttings.
Think I need to divide my lemongrass and spread it around more throughout the food forest. I need chop and drop to mulch the grocery rows. Planned to use straw but no one has had any for months. Stopped using grass clippings because of the seeds. Thinking between lemongrass and banana leaves, that should work pretty well. I have a solo cup full of last season's canna lily seeds that I could scarify and soak to germinate. Wondering what other easy to grow plants I could use. Maybe sorghum Sudan grass? I see something similar that pops up under the birdfeeders. Seems like a cheap chop and drop.

Marty was saying you were gonna visit some friends near him soon if you haven't already. Said you might stop by his place maybe? If so you wanna trade some plants at his place? He's about 40min north of us.

I especially feel guilty over elderberry, figs, wolf berries, raspberries, currants, strawberries, sweet potato vines, medicinal plants, most of my favoriteherbs and... hang on a second.. that's almost all the plants I grow.
Hmm... 😂
Think of it this way: every year, you get lots more cuttings. Let go, and let 'em compost. I know the feeling.
My problem too lol. But I tell my self building soil is most important! But more plants grows good soil too right. Oh man 😂
once you know the abundance, you can feel good about the 'loss'
That's fine if you have unused space but once you've filled all the space you have the only thing you can do is chop and drop.
I need to learn how to propagate. It was be awesome to expand via that instead of the money I spend at nurseries every year.
may the forest be with you 🖖
Chopping and dropping is extremely satisfying! Free fertilizer! My bunnies and horse enjoy some shoppings too. DTG, you have created a food forresting crazy grandma here in SC! Love you and yours for it too!❤
I do it with the grass and nettles that comes up in my Grocery Row Garden. It is very satisfying.

@@jenbear8652 🙂
If you have the space for it, go with 4 ft in between rows. It makes things much easier when plants really start to grow.
I'm jealous of your rain. It dry here in the ozarks.
I have no trouble keeping my fruit trees small, after five years my figs and citrus are about 5 ft. Might need a bit more mulch.
That's because they are still young.
Sounds like nematodes
I think you need to rename the food forest course to a food jungle course, lovely garden David, it's been facinating to watch it grow

It seems to increase the predators to have lots of plants together. Not sure how the chop-and-drop effects it, but I bet it helps too.
