Hi James, I started watching your channel prox. 3 yrs ago, I had bought 3 acres of property. I started working my property, my goal is to turn it into permaculture. I just found your 7 videos you had created on How to create a permaculture food forest. I watched all of them, I wish I had found them 4 yrs ago before I planted a lot of my fruit trees. I have learned so much from you and still learning. So now, I will fence off a specific area each year and start with the food forest foundation! Thank you so much, you have a wealth of information. You really need to write a book! Again Thank you!
My son thought I’d jumped off the deep end when I had FREE wood chips delivered to my house. 25 cubic yards and I was a happy camper. In the last 4 months my dead dry soil here in Las Vegas is thriving with worms 🤗. I’m afraid I’ll hurt my little friends when I plant.
Yes, what you do is valuable! You are saving the world with your insight, love and dedication to fostering God's bounty! I watch so many you tube gardening channels, and yours is always one of the best, most informative and most helpful. You are focused on "the work". It's not all about you. You give so much. And your love also lives on in my garden.
"great things take time to grow" Omg. Your channel is about so much more than just gardening. I see knowledge, passion, wisdom, being persistent and harvesting the fruit of your labour and so much more. Someone should make a "James Prigionis top 10 rules for success" video
James! Thanks for continuing to post videos through the winter. I get excited whenever I see one of your videos pop up. It's helping me stay sane while it's cold. I'm seriously antsy for spring to come.
Thank you James! We just realized today why we have new issues in our garden last 2 years. Our little man Patrick always marked the perimeter of our garden several times a day. Since he’s gone, rabbits and raccoons have moved in. 😂. He was a super garden shopper just like Tuck and we never knew what a big job he was doing keeping the garden safe. Thanks for the TUCK fix at the end of your video! I just love seeing that little guy enjoying his veggies! ❤
let me start off by saying thank you. i stumbled onto this station after reading a book on the life below the soil. since then, i feel like i understand what our purpose is. I binged on your videos over the last few months and appreciate the time and effort you've put into these. I'm buying a larger property in 1-2 years and i've completely changed my way at looking for a good location. with the knowledge and work you're helping me through right now, i hope to yield something as impressive as yours. maybe even sooner. I hope to inspire others as you've inspired me.
I just want to say that ever since I found your channel a few months ago I have been hooked. I appreciate all the work you put into your videos. I know there are times where we question if what we are doing is worth it or matters but there are people out there like myself who appreciate all the work that has gone into creating something. Please continue making great videos.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Your videos are some of the best permaculture / food forest instructionals on the web. Keep up the good work!
There is so little profound content out there about growing your own food, or anything else for that matter. We thank you for bringing us your experience and the knowledge and wisdom that comes from it. Doing my best to bring people to your channel because I believe in you. Please stay true to your values as your channel grows and money starts getting thrown at you. Cheers man, another great video!
Thanks James for the good info. I have did some research and have made my list of fruit trees that I will be growing here in MS. Kind of expensive...250 bucks but I am about to pull the trigger on this. I am also building a pretty large continuous raised bed out of cement blocks for annuals and some perennials that is a pleasant design with irrigation and zones. I also have been busy chipping fallen small trees and branches from the woods on my property. All of this is a little overwhelming but I just keep chipping away at it. Videos like yours keep me motivated and I thank you.
rctd06 Money well spent. I am going to try a little experiment this year and line out my paths by weaving the whippy sun shoot prunings from my fruit trees around prunings (cuttings) from my fruit bushes like gooseberries, currants etc. The tree prunings should break down over time after providing their decorative edging service and the fruit bushes may root and grow, increasing the stock.
This video is like a phase 7. because you direct and guide the transfer of a back yard into a food forest. I got it!!!! I over pruned my trees (A TYPE TWO PRUNING ) that layered 60 yards of wood chips on top of Brown paper to sufficate my grass yard. Great teaching hugs to tuck.🐆🐕❤
Glad you enjoyed it! I think I will, today hopefully I can get it up 😁👍 Thank you my friend. Past that season of life, must have been winter. Here comes spring!!!! Let’s go!!!
Great to have you back! You always hype me up to move woodchips on my property! I have started my permaculture forest with free woodchips i got locally!!!
Also buddy. I armed up with that Jere Collection. I have all 1,600+ varieties of Baker Creek, one pack of every veggie, herb, flower and fruit seed they sell in transit. I am investing 1/10th of each one of these packs in the James Prigioni Gardening Channel to insure maximum diversity in future episodes. It is the least I can do. I need NJ's main man armed with the rainbow.
you are such an entertainer man. Im sure that a bunch of people that didnt have plants before are watching you and reconsidering it, seeing how happy you are!
Paul must be very proud of your learning and now teaching. I was from the PNW and was at Paul’s farm many yrs ago I live in VA now, whole new learning experience weather wise. Your doing a great job and I love Tuck! Thank you so much for all your TH-cam videos!
Your videos are excellent. Full of information. Practical, no extraneous prattling just for the sake of talking. Love the way that the information is interspersed with relevant visuals and writing. It's a video that I will keep on returning to. Thank you so much
I’ve just discovered you and I’m binge watching your how to grow a food forest series! I love your enthusiasm and spirit! Gardening gives a person a lot of wisdom and perspective. I’m glad to have finally found someone who gardens kind of like me. I have gladiolus interplanted with the June bearing strawberries. And I just bought a bunch of red flowering everbearing strawberries cuz my husband likes pretty flowers and I like food so we grow pretty food 😆. The vegetable garden has zinnias and roses in it. I put marigolds everywhere. I plunk a cabbage here and a potato there and blue borage everywhere and scarlet runner beans are growing up the corn and multi colored peppers and tomatoes are scattered about and it’s all quite a polyculture. I’m so excited to learn how to do the food forest idea! Keep up the good work!
Thank you, James...We bought property in the Ozarks with heavy clay and a blank slate. Trying to create a food forest and trying not to feel overwhelmed as we are new to growing outside of our tiny garden we had in California. You are really helping us learn a new path.
Thank you James for all your information. I live in Australia and where I live th climate is different to where you are but I still get so much information from you to grow my backyard into a food forest. It doesn’t matter where you live the principles are still the same. I watch you when I am feeling a bit low because you are such a lovely uplifting person. God bless your journey through life
My first time getting wood chips from the park across from my house. It was exciting . They cut down trees and grinded the tree trubks. I prayed for this. You are very inspirational ! Thank you so much 🌱
Hi James; I really enjoy your videos. You have so much to offer your viewers. Been a plant person all my life and when I was young, growing up in New York, a veggie garden was a dream for me. I LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOU. Please don't ever wonder about your videos, they contain very valuable gems of information to each of us!!!❤💛💚💙
My point exactly on watering. Drip irrigation does not soak an area and moles are attracted to the easy dig areas. When you have sand and a hot micro climate it is difficult. These areas don't create a moist forest environment unless maybe if it was solid shade, but then the roots are zapping all the moisture.
Someone visited my garden and that I am creating a "food forest". Since then I am now interested to do more. Thanks for giving me more information and know more...
Thanks James for teaching what you have learn. 1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. Keep up the good work and God Bless you.
Thank you James for this valuable content and for everything you do! I am a not so new gardener, yet you exited me again with growing with my garden in harmony with nature!
James - so glad I found your videos. Had a garden 30 years ago and I'm now about to move the family to a new location and want to go all in on a family-feeding garden. I was instantly drawn to your passion and impressive knowledge. The 7-layer concept is so fundamental and makes total sense. Thanks for sharing. I now have to binge watch all your past vids to catch up. Hope you and Tuck stay well and continue to prosper. Blessings !
I have seen other permaculture designs include two more layers. Underground layer for bulbs root crops and tubers as well as climbing layer. Now I'm not convinced the climbing layer is needed, but I can see the importance of the underground layer to keep the soil more naturally tilled
I've watched a whole bunch of your videos and I think they're great but this one is the best yet. This had the best explanation of permaculture I have ever heard. Great job!
You're coming along fantastically, been watching your videos here and there for years. This one got my subscription, your knowledge is really developing and the humility presented here was highly respectable.
James! You are such a great influence... thanks for all the good information! I started planning my homestead a couple of years ago, when I started watching Justin Rhodes... haven't bought the property yet... am doing that this year! So excited! And you have helped clarify my thoughts tremendously! I'll be building a food forest with chickens and ducks and a few other fowl. I'm in southwestern Missouri, so the weather is a bit different than Jersey... but the principles that you explain are great! Thanks again! Also... you should list some of your tools and supplies that you use regularly... and get linked up with amazons affiliate program, so you can get paid for recommendations. I was thinking that other companies might offer that benefit too... I know that I like to see what people are using and how they work so I can decide if its the right tool for me. Love watching your channel - keep up the good work!
Hello James, So good to see your smile and new vigore in your vlog! You are such a great teacher and gardening proponent! Your material is well researched and proven, and you are fun to watch and learn from! I look forward to your continuing 'the food forest' compilation! Stay Well My Friend
It is interesting how a lot of us started the food forest concept in the last few years. As we learn about growing soil biological life I find it interesting the farmers are trying it. They are using manure-based compost and making tea to apply to their fields. Which is great anything is better than cancer for kids chemicals.
Mmmmmmmmm. 7 Layers with a different fruit icing between each layer. I wanted to do a Ruth Stout Garden this Spring but I'm having trouble finding old hay. New haybales cost $8 each around here. I may be able to get a free truck load of wood chips delivered however. An excellent job as always James.
Great info James...learning every time I watch your videos...love how you did the desk with previous videos of your food forrest in the back ground...so cool :)
Man i was watching some of your videos a few years ago and you had a much smaller following. I remember thinking how awesome your energy was and thinking you should be way more popular. Looks like things worked out with over a million followers now. Good for you, much deserved!
Great show James. I'm learning new things from you. I used to grow organic veggies and fruit on my little 1.5 acre farm 22 years ago. I've just recently bought another property which has 'difficult' terrain which I'm exited to tackle and turn into a great example for others.
Always great advice, so thank you for your dedication in getting all this information out here. I believe that every day is a school day - regardless of age, circumstance or life choices. You, Justin Rhodes, Jeff Lawton and a few other actually give amazing advice on wins and failures on your permaculture / polyculture journey.
Awesome! You welcome. Only in year 2!!? That’s a big year, you have had s year under your belt and year three you will see good results. Your in a great spot, make the smart investments now by learning from last years successes and failures. Soon it will be year 6, what will you want to be eating? And what will you wish you put in or thought about?
Thank you for the insight. I am learning so much though your videos. I agree repetition helps drive home understanding. I've had to revisit topics regarding permaculture numerous times before things start to make sense to me.
Another excellent video with hidden gems inside! I was surprised to discover I could plant asparagus under my fruit trees! I've actually ordered crowns as a result of this as I didn't want to dedicate a space in my relatively small vegetable garden to a plant that can remain for 10, 15, or 20 years. But under my fruit trees? Sure! I'd love to see you cover more planting ideas like this, but maybe you already have and I just need to continue watch the rest of your videos. Thanks again!
Steward-good word! And it happens to be the subject of this weeks sabbath school lesson at church. I like how you encourage people to study Gods design and mimic it, To work WITH nature!
'People definitely think that we are crazy when we get so excited about wood chips..' describing me...:D Thanks James. I have watched Hart's video before and it is so nice to mention him and giving a big place in your video.. Can you 'show and tell' :) your garden's layers in a new video,please?
Crazy can be a compliment. I'm 72 yrs old. I had. My first garden at about 8 yrs old. I've struggled, f failed, and I've succeeded. Tropical. New England and NC..I will die gardening!
Amazing video brother!!! The clips of Robert Hart is so valuable. Like you said a hidden gem. I really liked how simple his explanation of how to start a food forest to the end. Thanks so much for the shout out too brother. Im starting a young pawpaw patch with blueberries and blackberries this week and will deffinetly film the design and planting. Great vid man, another awesome gardening show!!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, James! I live in Canadian weather, probably similar to your weather. Is it worth it for me to install an underground water cistern to collect rainwater, or rain barrels, or a gray water system? They sound more eco friendly but from your video, overwatering is detrimental as the plants mature: what would you advise I do?
Thanks Jeremy. This was my favorite episode of the Gardening Show so far. Glad you enjoyed it too. I was a little worried about the length of the video, but I figured some people would enjoy it. Glad you did my friend 😁
Thanks man this rocks I will be starting my own project on 15th April on a bare 1 and 1/2 acres in Northland NZ using your videos for guidance keep up the posts looking forward to grpwing togeather

I think I love the idea of having the Gardening Show with James Prigioni .
😁❤️❤️
James is the BEST It was love at first sight, for me.💗

You have good soil in Vegas! That’s a miracle haha
@Desiree Cudmore This f*cked up message now is appearing on every other video I watch. Wtf? Get lost, you're reported. Again and again and again...
@@mourlyvold7655 Make sure to also report the other fake account they are using to promote

I just realized the garden of Eden was a food forest.
Yes, this was one of my favorite parts
I'm glad you're back ! ! ! You know what you need to be on PBS also.This should be a paid gig since like Yesterday ! ! !

James, you are the best teacher! Thank you!!!🙏🏻
Brilliant! James you are an outstanding teacher. Thank you
Thank you Jennifer, your sweet! 🍓
3rd time reviewing this lesson !!!!! great stuff...... the more I listen the more it SINKS INTO MY HEAD!!!! Hugs to Tuck😍🐕🐅
i love what you said about God not making a mistake when he put us in the garden. I smiled. I've just started my 7 layers. so exciting.
Thank you James. It is good to see you smiling again.
Awe!! Your so kind. Thank you for that. I appreciate you 😁
Hi James; I really enjoy your videos. You have so much to offer your viewers. Been a plant person all my life and when I was young, growing up in New York, a veggie garden was a dream for me. I LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOU. Please don't ever wonder about your videos, they contain very valuable gems of information to each of us!!!❤💛💚💙
Your make it sound so easy. Enjoy your teaching style.
Perfect!! Thank you Cyndi. It is simple, we usually just mess it up 🤦♂️ lol
My point exactly on watering. Drip irrigation does not soak an area and moles are attracted to the easy dig areas. When you have sand and a hot micro climate it is difficult. These areas don't create a moist forest environment unless maybe if it was solid shade, but then the roots are zapping all the moisture.
Someone visited my garden and that I am creating a "food forest". Since then I am now interested to do more. Thanks for giving me more information and know more...

Thanks Aaron, trying to balance some good information with some fun 😁
Thank you James! You've given me a vision and I will be working on it this year.

Love watching your channel - keep up the good work!
This is a great and really unique format for a gardening channel. I really like it and i´m always learning from it. Thank you James!
Thank you my friend! Yeah it’s different, I have fun with it. A little different then the usual videos during the growing season
I love all your work James.. thank you so much xoxo
Hello James, So good to see your smile and new vigore in your vlog! You are such a great teacher and gardening proponent! Your material is well researched and proven, and you are fun to watch and learn from! I look forward to your continuing 'the food forest' compilation! Stay Well My Friend
Hey this format was pretty cool, thanks x1000 for posting something that inspired you it helps us all
A big THANK YOU! Keep going, it's all in the journey.
I’m glad to see your exuberance is restored. Love the memes this week. See you soon.
It is interesting how a lot of us started the food forest concept in the last few years. As we learn about growing soil biological life I find it interesting the farmers are trying it. They are using manure-based compost and making tea to apply to their fields. Which is great anything is better than cancer for kids chemicals.
I use to have Ruth Stout's book "No Work Garden" book.
Mmmmmmmmm. 7 Layers with a different fruit icing between each layer.
I wanted to do a Ruth Stout Garden this Spring but I'm having trouble finding old hay. New haybales cost $8 each around here. I may be able to get a free truck load of wood chips delivered however.
An excellent job as always James.
Thank you! Love all your videos!
Thank you my friend! Thats encouraging to hear. Makes me smile 😁
Great info James...learning every time I watch your videos...love how you did the desk with previous videos of your food forrest in the back ground...so cool :)
Man i was watching some of your videos a few years ago and you had a much smaller following. I remember thinking how awesome your energy was and thinking you should be way more popular. Looks like things worked out with over a million followers now. Good for you, much deserved!
Also thank you for the content! It's amazing and is currently helping me plan my own food forest!
Awesome video! Loved the wisdom of Robert. I just received my seeds in the mail today! Looking forward to phase 6.
Great show James. I'm learning new things from you.
I used to grow organic veggies and fruit on my little 1.5 acre farm 22 years ago.
I've just recently bought another property which has 'difficult' terrain which I'm exited to tackle and turn into a great example for others.
I've been following for over a year now and this is the first time I saw this one 😊
I love love love these videos.. Great content, great passion. Also love walking through the food forest.. Living dream 💕
Always great advice, so thank you for your dedication in getting all this information out here. I believe that every day is a school day - regardless of age, circumstance or life choices. You, Justin Rhodes, Jeff Lawton and a few other actually give amazing advice on wins and failures on your permaculture / polyculture journey.
LOVE your videos! keep up the awesome work! Thanks for sharing your knowledge/experience. :)
So glad to see you back. This is a good video
Thanks for sharing this. You inspired us to start a food fprest but we are only in year two.
Awesome! You welcome. Only in year 2!!? That’s a big year, you have had s year under your belt and year three you will see good results. Your in a great spot, make the smart investments now by learning from last years successes and failures. Soon it will be year 6, what will you want to be eating? And what will you wish you put in or thought about?
You’re a great teacher.. thanks for breaking it down! I’m trying to decide where to start living in the humid Deep South in my fairly small back yard
The free chip drop I got this summer was one of the most exciting parts of the year!
Wwhhhooooaaa!!!!!! Your video is next level now!!!!! Love the walk through the forest step!!! Must share! Interdependence! Diversity! Nourishment!
Thanks for all the hard work, Prigioni! Keep at it. -- from GA zone 7a Appalachia.
Thanks, JP - another great one. Good memes too. This channel will grow on you!
Thank you for the insight. I am learning so much though your videos. I agree repetition helps drive home understanding. I've had to revisit topics regarding permaculture numerous times before things start to make sense to me.
Thank for answering my question! 2nd question: do you mulch every fall/winter? ..just keep layering every year? THANK YOU' You help alot of ppl.
Love your positive attitude.
Thank you my friend. I love doing this 😁
love the way you fill about growing you food man tip my hat to you and best to your channel.
Another excellent video with hidden gems inside! I was surprised to discover I could plant asparagus under my fruit trees! I've actually ordered crowns as a result of this as I didn't want to dedicate a space in my relatively small vegetable garden to a plant that can remain for 10, 15, or 20 years. But under my fruit trees? Sure! I'd love to see you cover more planting ideas like this, but maybe you already have and I just need to continue watch the rest of your videos. Thanks again!
Thank you. Now I have a better understanding of what I want to do and how to do it.
Thanks for uploading this, it wasn't in your playlist for building a 'Food Forest' from scratch.
Steward-good word! And it happens to be the subject of this weeks sabbath school lesson at church.
I like how you encourage people to study Gods design and mimic it, To work WITH nature!
'People definitely think that we are crazy when we get so excited about wood chips..' describing me...:D Thanks James. I have watched Hart's video before and it is so nice to mention him and giving a big place in your video.. Can you 'show and tell' :) your garden's layers in a new video,please?
Great video James a lot of knowledge being shared. Keep it up!
Thanks Edgar! I’m glad you enjoyed it I had a blast making it 😁👍
Thank you so much for your time and help in to explain the food forest.
Crazy can be a compliment. I'm 72 yrs old. I had. My first garden at about 8 yrs old. I've struggled, f failed, and I've succeeded. Tropical. New England and NC..I will die gardening!
great job man. big up from Jamaica. I just started my food forest here. Your information is very useful. bless up bro.
That's EXACTLY what I wanted to hear! Thanks.
This is the best video I've seen yet, James! I love all your videos!
Amazing video brother!!! The clips of Robert Hart is so valuable. Like you said a hidden gem. I really liked how simple his explanation of how to start a food forest to the end. Thanks so much for the shout out too brother. Im starting a young pawpaw patch with blueberries and blackberries this week and will deffinetly film the design and planting. Great vid man, another awesome gardening show!!!
good day to you James !! thanks for sharing the advice and information on the 7 layers of a food forest
This is a very good concept. It's very helpful, thanks James.
Awesome video Janes! I know it’s a bit older, but I just came across it and found it really inspiring! Thanks again
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, James! I live in Canadian weather, probably similar to your weather. Is it worth it for me to install an underground water cistern to collect rainwater, or rain barrels, or a gray water system? They sound more eco friendly but from your video, overwatering is detrimental as the plants mature: what would you advise I do?
One of your best! Such valuable info!
Thanks Jeremy. This was my favorite episode of the Gardening Show so far. Glad you enjoyed it too. I was a little worried about the length of the video, but I figured some people would enjoy it. Glad you did my friend 😁
