I love that quote - “If you want to grow a food forest, you must create a forest floor.” That, says it all!
James, I didn't quite catch the name of the master who inspired you.
I've been telling an older woman I work with about my progress doing this to my yard. The other day she was telling me how her son started doing this to his yard. I gave her your channel name to give to him. Turns out he's already a viewer who was inspired by your videos! I was so excited! Lol So cool.
That is awesome Gobi, what a small world!
I’m glad the channel is connecting with some of the younger crowd too, the more people we can get growing I believe, the better of we all are 😁👍
Hey same here! 😊 🌱
there's no reason....a food forest channel......THIS CHANNEL.....shouldn't have 100k subscribers...and even a million plus... on youtube. ;) channels with kids opening up toys...have tens of millions of subscribers...and millions of views per video. keep at it james.....it's.......COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for your body of work....it's PRICELESS!!!!!
I LOVE this guy!!!
James and Tuck... This old Mississippi grandma LOVES you both!! I've been binge watching since I found you. I have learned so much! I'm schooling my son-in-law so he can replicate what you're doing, for my 5 grandson's to enjoy! If we weren't so far apart, I would have to stop by to meet you and Tuck in person. :) Keep up the good work young man!! God bless you!
Your comment tickled my heart, I had a Mississippi grandma, she grew up on a farm with turkeys, a few goats, and horses. She shared so much wisdom and love. I definitely feel that my gardening honors her memory.
@@aa2781 Thanks for commenting. You made me smile.
"You can do this, you can definitely do this!" I'm planning for a new garden and I'm definitely going to do this! Thank you for this excellent series. Can't wait to start my food forest!
Love this series! I bought a house a few months ago and today I'm laying down my foundation to start my food forest! Hope you're doing well and thank you!
How's it going?
James, you are delightful. I'm a 67 year old woman in Louisiana. I started my food forest a year ago. I discovered you on TH-cam three months ago. I've been binge watching ever since. I know I have a way to go, but I'm excited about the future. You quote Mollison and Fukuoka a lot. I love both of them. I hope you are aware that one day, if not already, people will be quoting you. You are so inspirational! I love watching you become one of the influential permaculture gurus of our time. Thank you. Valerie Fitzenreiter
Great stuff, as always. I grew up on a farm and we raised our own beef, had horses and occasionally goats. Several dogs, barn cats. We had a garden and raised tobacco. I never appreciated much about it till I was an adult. I got a subscription to Organic Gardening many years ago, and began educating myself on organic techniques. I've raised gardens with varied success, did well with "Hoosier" tomatoes, bell peppers and hot peppers were great successes. Other veggies were "meh". I'd say partial success. Now, thanks to you, I'm ready to start a food forest using wood chips as the foundation and no till! How freeing!
I want to have some worm bins and still trying to talk the hubs into raising some chickens.(So far he's put the kabash on that!! He was raised on a bigger farm than I and he knows what chickens entail!! Lol
I've learned more about gardening from you than any other period in my life, and I'm 64 years old. I thank you so much, your enthusiasm is so charming and engaging. I love your passion. I can't wait to start our food forest in a couple weeks.
Thank you , thank you, thank you! Keep on keeping on sweet guy!
Your loyal subscriber,
Diane Belew
Dude I’m so glad I found your channel. I love how enthusiastic you are about gardening and how much you love it. It really comes through, thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Just so you know, I'm a beginner and the reason I'm watching all of your videos is because you do show us each step. No matter how stupid some may think, those of us who are trying to learn finally get it. Finally, from step one of the construction paper to the mulch and what type of mulch. How much and where. Thank you for taking the time to explain each little step. No matter how minute it is. It counts and we are watching and learning. Thank you James.
Its amazing how much the advice you are giving can apply to most every aspect of life.
Exactly, It is all tied together! I’m glad you are able to see some of the undertones my friend 👍😁
The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni I am glad you are willing to share them! Just as a question from one youtuber to another, if I started a channel talking about this sort of thing, but applied it to general concepts, how well do you think it would be received?
Hi there! I am from Germany and i just want to tell you, that you are so Inspiring! Good bless you and what you are doing! Go on! Continue!
Thanks James! I have seen and educated myself on how to start a food forest for years, only after watching your videos have I actual felt this to be possible. This March will be the first full year of the forest, cant wait for the years of production to come. Keep it up bro! You are getting through to the most people around!!
I have a half acre property covered with over cubic 100 yards of wood mulch in New Zealand.
I'm a believer in growing food for the soil, worms and wild birds.
I grew sweet potato in mulch last summer, too much for my food needs, so the sweet potatoes can stay under the mulch, they acted like a ground cover over mulch in summer and fall, and as they decompose providing a water source for nearby shrubs and trees, the vines are now dying off, as they decompose they add a bit of extra food for worms.
I also grow alpine strawberries under fruit trees, the birds are welcome to eat the tiny berries, and the wild birds also dine on unwelcome insects in the garden.
I also grow various coloured raspberries which fruit at different times of the summer and fall, I enjoy outwitting the birds to find some fresh berries.
Thank you for these phase videos. I've started preplanning and getting my hubs on board (he thinks he's losing a yard, not looking at the gain yet) and your videos have helped so much to see the big picture. Thank you!
In order to create a food forest...create a forest floor. Yes!!! James you have been a great inspiration for me and my husband. Row by row, one layer at a time of our own chipped trees from our property, we now have a vegetable garden like we have never seen before. Thank you!!
I'm new to your channel and want to say thank you for being so detailed and passionate about what you do and in your teaching.. I feel like you are talking directly to me
. Thank you
OMG, love Tuck trying to leave at end of video with such a large veggie in his mouth. As if you can’t see it if he gets out quick enough. What a sweetie. Love you videos. So inspiring.
Yup strawberries should do good under the trees, since strawberries came from the forest, before people were around to tear down the canopy.
Love the comment, but I must admit your name is even better 👌🤣
LOL! Love the forest you got going. Its Beautiful and full of life.
Just finished watching this 6-part series .. I can't wait to get started on this! Thank you so much for your energy and inspiration James. Hugs for Tuck! Greetings from the UK.
We watch this every night! My son always says let’s watch the garden guy and search for tuck tuck 👏👏 thank you!
Thank you. I hit the "like" button at the beginning of every video and have never been disappointed yet.
You’re too kind Romer, I’m glad you are finding value in the videos 😁
Very excited to have found another gardener from New Jersey, I learned so much about the fruit trees, mine are always sick with diseases and I end up replacing too many times. Thanks for the informative videos. I know what to buy now so that I don’t continue to have the same problems. I’m also zone 7 in South Jersey. Outstanding work.
James , You and Tuck Instill a Lot of confidence for me, a New Gardener. I made a Big Commitment within my backyard. Thank you you bouth
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow!
You inspired me to get into gardening, now I’m WWOOFing across the country! Thank you
😁👍❤️
Me and my mama are gonna be planting our first winter veg on Friday! We’ll get some transplants and I have some seeds ready. Thank you for teaching us with these videos!
Hearts for Tuck ❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡
Thank you. You have inspired me to get started on my food forest. I’m much older but like I always say you’re never too old to learn something new. You’re always so chipper upbeat and positive. I wish you much blessings in everything you pursue. Thank you so much.
You are amazing! Cause you know we know nothing, so you showed every little step you did and not just talked about it! It really made me think I can do it too, so I already made the list of plants that can grow in my piece of land, gonna go through each one of them with their specificity and who they get along with, gonna prep my soil, and gonna show you my before and after!
Thank you so much!
I found your channel this past week and have been watching your videos every day since. I am moving to a property on an acre of land this spring and was excited to begin a garden there - now, thanks to you, I've got my sights set on a food forest. Your videos are so informative and you hammer home a lot of important considerations for people like me who are just beginning to start the food forest journey (observe, observe, observe!). Love watching you live your dream and passion and how happy little Tuck is in the middle of it all! :)
Thank you from Southern Ontario, Canada!
Oh my gosh! Thank you for the name Bill Molson! I looked online and wow, pretty pricey, luckily, I was persistence and found a good condition 2ndhand, for only $40, getting it in two days!! I'm so excited!!❤
Let’s Gooo!!!
I love how Tuck is by the gate, ready to leave, with his garden yummy.
It is always a joy to see the notification of your new video, James. :)
Thanks for being part of the notification crew Kroeger, I appreciate your support my friend 😁
I found some free mulch in my area! I’ve been “trying” for a few years with gardening. You are a huge inspiration! Thank you for documenting all of your success and “failures”. Can’t wait to get things started!! 🤩
Fantastic farm. Your attitude and enthusiasm are winners!
Thank you Carly 😁👍
Thanks, inspiring as always. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thanks
Awesome channel and garden! Bravo.. quick question. Can you show how you setup your irrigation or watering?
Loved watching you treat your strawberry runners with a little TLC. My wood chipper is ordered and arriving soon. I'll be mulching about 1200 sq ft of berry patches first, and I'll expand as I develop more brush piles. Can't wait to try this
Awesome info James! I wish I wouldve found your channel 20 years ago and learned stuff youre teaching us now! Im so appreciative to you and Tuck!
Awesome video. My fourth year with living soil it’s amazing. It’s just like the life in our gut. Eating high nutrition micro greens and detoxing from the chemicals I live by saved my life. I had to heal my gut then I learned to heal my soil learning :-)
Watching all the phases you've done and excited to start this from the ground up...
Just finished all 6 video, love the steps by steps and all the details. It already looked great! I need to watch the newer videos to see how it looks now. Love cute little Boss Tuck! I am not ready for this Good Forest but for sure to save these for later thank you!
Can’t wait too see the harvests from your food forest this year !! It never ever gets old.
Dude M from India...M impressed the way explained everything... especially forest floor... inshahAllah I will try in India..thnk u
The Prig is in the house!
Great series James.👍😎
Thank you for your great efforts.
You know!!!! Haha!! Thank you my friend, I’m glad you are enjoying it 😁👍
This food forest phases series is great! Thank you!
Excited to start growing! Year one I'm concentrating on improving our soil. It's hard clay with no organic matter. Using cardboard as mulch, then composted horse manure on top then straw as the cap. Once it all breaks down, I'll start with the magic of the wood chips. Another great video.
Awesome natural support for the mind .Gardening gives you a inner peace, you and Tuck rock James. sweet.
Great video. All your plants looking very healthy. It is a feast for the eyes.
Thank you Parvathy! It is nice to look at, and nice to be around to. I always feel at home in my garden 😁
We've had strawberries for over 10 years in our garden and this is the first year we've had runners shooting out all over! I think it's because we've started the back to eden approach
The established food forest is very impressive and healthy-looking.
As I live in a cold and very damp climate, I found it better to plant my peach tree in as large a container as I could buy, then I could control the drainage a lot better and adjust it to suit (stones at the bottom, a layer of dead ferns and moss, and then some gravel mixed with home-made compost).
I have never had peach leaf curl on the plant over the few years I've been growing it (Originally, it grew from a stone my boy threw out the window. The following Spring, I found the stone germinating in a puddle. It looked such a sorry sight, I went out in the pouring rain, dug it up and potted it).
So glad I foumd this New Jersey gardening channel!!! Awesome
Hello from Northern Ireland, your videos are a wealth of knowledge. Hopefully, I will start my raised bed garden next year. My only problem is paved patio but with knowledge nothing is imposiblile.
Sun gold tomatoes are seriously the BEST.
Yeah I love them too Kit!! 😁❤️
morning! 2 quick questions.......not sure if asked before, can i use cardboard instead of contractors paper? i just happen to have a lot on hand. how big should i begin my food forest? i’m sitting here wishing i had found you YEARS ago!! 😫
Thanks, James for your inspiration, and for introducing Masanobu Fukuoka, whose principles are quoted below:)
Natural farming
Fukuoka called his agricultural philosophy shizen nōhō (自然農法), most commonly translated into English as "natural farming". It is also referred to as "the Fukuoka Method", "the natural way of farming" or "Do-Nothing Farming".
The system is based on the recognition of the complexity of living organisms that shape an ecosystem and deliberately exploiting it. Fukuoka saw farming not just as a means of producing food but as an aesthetic and spiritual approach to life, the ultimate goal of which was "the cultivation and perfection of human beings".
The five principles of natural farming are that:
1) human cultivation of soil, plowing or tilling are unnecessary, as is the use of powered machines
2) prepared fertilizers are unnecessary, as is the process of preparing compost
3) weeding, either by cultivation or by herbicides, is unnecessary; instead, only minimal weed suppression with minimal disturbance should be used
4) applications of pesticides or herbicides are unnecessary
5) pruning of fruit trees is unnecessary
🙏🏻😍
Thank you for sharing this my friend.
You are a blessing James!
SHALOM BRO. i move to North Carolina and im defenetly doing it learned alot from you YOUR FOREST ROCKS , i was so jeaulouse jajajaja BUT NOW IM GOING TO DO IT JUST LIKE YOU, thanks for your BEAUTIFUL uplifting videos and YAH BLESS YOU, i see it works you are PRODUCTION X10
It never dawned on me that fruits and vegetables were annuals or perennials. I only thought of flowers that way. Thank you for the info, James!
loving the new hemisphere of the forest James! I just expanded myself and featured it in my first (probably only) tour. I'm in southern Connecticut (zone 6b). Multiple Prigioni shout outs for all of the inspiration from your channel!
I just discovered your channel and it's a blessing! Thank you. I'm going to change my plans for my garden this year because of you. Planted 8 fruit trees last year and now I'm planting more. Just ordered a delivery from Chipdrop.com and I can't wait for the chips to arrive. I can't thank you enough!
Nice guide to start up food forest .l really appreciate your effort James.keep growing and guiding us.
Are you hand watering? I’m starting a back to eden garden I love this series it is very helpful in planning. I don’t have irrigation in my garden space so I was wondering how and how often you water
Your place is nuts!! So great.
Thanks, it’s a lot of fun!! Sometimes walking through the food forest I feel like the Willy Wonka of Gardening 🤣
I appreciate the support 👊
The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni Right😆 Im starting this fall on our Mt. property to design hillside gardens. Hoping to be off grid by this coming spring summer 19.
I left you a comment last video. I design grow lights. Id like to send you some if your interested. Send you 2 and 1 for your subs for a giveaway? I like your style and youll love my lighting. Youll be hooked. 😊
I grow indoors. Fruit vegetable greens....you name it.
With your expertise....and creativity...Im guessing youll find great ways to use them.
Have a great night.
😊Brad
So glad I found your channel
them strawbs doe, everything looks great! I stake up my tomatoes on crazy big trellises and they grow huge
Thanks for sharing James it is looking great. Wood chip is magic I have only a few patches in place and they are proving to be very successful even though I placed them down late spring, I have had to introduce chicken manure, leaf mulch and lawn mowing for encouragement I love to grow squash and pumpkin they like very rich soil.
James you are a continuing inspiration. TY
Glad to hear that Timothy! Your welcome my friend. Thank you for the kind words
Was that a cucumber that Tuck was standing there with? So funny!!! Just waiting for dad with his grubbins😁. Thanks for another great video!!!
Thank you so much for the tips on using mikos. It's amazing. You're the man james! You're doing great things brother. Great things!
Hi James,
I'm new to your Chanel. Me and my husband planning to have a food forest next year. Your video give us information. We live in Canada as you know we have a very cold winter. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Such a great series of videos !!! Thank you for taking the time, you and the people who help, to make these videos for us. Great advices, great spirit. You just pump me up !! :D I realy enjoyed watching your enthusiasm opening up the tree boxes ! :D Take care, thank you for the content, I'm a new subscriber !
As I learn more and more about creating healthy soil and organic gardening, would you be able to explain, or do a video on the differences of leaf mold, compost, coffee grounds, egg shells, and other materials and how to use each of them?
Thank you for your ideas now I have learn a lot from your video
I’ve been slowly doing this . I moved a year ago and can’t afford to just lug in a hundred plants and hundreds of dollars in wood chips I also don’t want to embarrass my neighbors with only barren dirt - this last year I’ve nurtured 2 cherry trees and over the winter got 5 elderberry trees planted I had 20 strawberry plants only 5 are still alive and are struggling under our big tree , I also have 5 blackberries that I will plant come spring - the garden came with hundreds of tulips and peonies - the peonies haven’t come back but the tulips do we leave those the lillies and bleeding hearts alone it also came with a maybe 8 year old mulberry tree it’s struggling with all the wind here but I can’t wait to have a forest garden- I’ve mixed edibles with ornamental and just plant what I love through the yard what lives lives what doesn’t wasn’t at its right home lol
I've been binge watching your videos, thanks mate! I Totally love how you teach. 👍👍💥
How many acres are you gardening on? I have really been loving your videos. Thanks for the inspiration.
This series is an inspiration to me. I am going to be doing this come this fall. Thank you and tuck
In one of the videos of this "How to Start a Food Forest Garden" series, you said that this could be replicated anywhere, even a balcony. We live in an appartment with a small garden, but we are not allowed to plant anything in the ground. We do have raised beds and massive pots. Would we be able to replicate a food forest in pots somehow? I know that there would not be the benefit of a shared ground, but at least the shared aerial environment (aka bees and all) could be beneficial no? We have one apricot tree in a massive pot, otherwise we have annual veggies in our raised beds at the moment.
Thank you for the tips! Looking forward to one day be able to do an actual food forest in our future home!
I am glad to see Tuck. Good video of honestly the best way to go about gardening.
Yeah Tuck truly does make the videos, and the forest.
Thanks Sam. I think it’s something everyone should have one of. A kitchen garden is great too, but to at least have some fruit trees and perennials, I think is important 😁👍
The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni
Thank you for telling me about about Masanobu Fukuoka.
I love your food forest!
First time i subscribed to a channel, big step for me James!! Keep up the good work, very impressive and inspiring to many im sure.
Whom did you learn everything from? Did you go to school for gardening? I've been watching TH-cam videos for years on gardening, finally have a beautiful 1/2 acre back to Eden garden. But it's still forming, everything is soooo expensive right now, one apple tree 45 bucks and that's a cheap one! I currently need something besides apple, I have 2 apples, 2 peach, and one shade tree in my half acre much garden. Along with 3 bule berry bushes, 2 black raspberry vines, lots of strawberries, 2 grape Vines, 2 red raspberry bushes, and one elderberry plant. Of course I plat my yearly veggies too. My vines and bushes, I put around my chickens coop, the coop is 10x12ftx 8ft tall and the vines grow up and over the coop, allowing me to pick the fruit from the inside. Then the trees are on the outside of the garden! It looks beautiful! Wondering where you learned everything from? Also is there anything that you would suggest adding to our garden to make it a better food forest? I want to add a pear tree so that's on the list. But can you think of anything else? Besides my bushes, vines and trees, I don't have much yearly plants. That's because I don't know any, I'm new to gardening on my own. So I'm not sure what to add to our garden, every year we have a veggie garden, but I'd like more reproducing fruits and veggies, what do you suggest?
Crazy just seen you hit 4 million views!!! That was such a fast million! You Channel has blown up so big past few years!
TED talk soon!!!!!!!! you and ron finley....are incredible examples!!!!!!!
All your plants are so green, really good soil and nutrients to have every plant that green. Mine are yellow and I need to get a forest floor going. Great videos. Oh, and Tuck is ready to go, open up that gate. LMAO so funny. Love animals.
Thank you very much for all yr encouragement an words of wisdom. Can’t wait to add more plants to my fruits forest.
This was definitely very informative. Blessings....
Man, you are spitting some facts in this video and I almost shat myself when I saw that you are on Steemit, kudos to you man! Thanks for your information!
Thanks James for sharing your experience on food forest. Could you please make a video on how to irrigate food forest?
Any chance you could make a playlist of phase 1-5? i couldnt find them.
Yup! I’ll do that now 👍😁
This is helping me out so much on my present journey. Thank you brother
im glad watching your video 🙂👌
I look forward to the notifications of your videos. I love the clear and constructive teaching you provide in them! I am interested in deeper understanding the message of Masanobu Focuoka. At this point in my life I am no more a kid and I'd like to have more fun in life and to take it easy. I don't want to fight with nature but to enjoy it and have freedom. Ready to learn!! I get it that Fokuokas teaching can encourage that? Will watch the film you suggested.
On Goose berries: they are included in a lit of permaculture plans, & I knpw personally that they are in nature, by try trees, here in the upper midwest. Problem : I dont hate many plants, but gooseberries are among them. Thorns, tastless berries when ripe, too sour when not. Thorns. Major thorns. Tangly, thorned trip hazard. So, if there's thornless varieties, that taste way better than wild ones, y'all are planting then let me know (!) ... and a "heads up" to those of you who haven't any experience w them.... for now I'll stick to most any other berry /useful low plant ;) . Again, thanks for your time making these & all your contribution to a healthy planet with healthy soils & foods ! & yes, build upon the rock ! Jesus, our cornerstone.
Do you plant dwarf, semi dwarf or full size fruit trees?
Have you had any problems with roots In the way or depleting moisture?
How do you figure shade into your design?
I need to fence everything and trying to get more use of acreage using the food forest plan.
Tuck is so cute atvtgem end it looks like he has a cucumber and wants to go make a salad 😄
Plantin' all kinds of bush...lol Love your channel, brother!!
Do you have any concerns about any of tucks waste ending up in the food forest? Do you make sure he's empty before he's allowed in? Also, is there a plot we can check out as to what your layout is, what's planned where?
Thanks much, this concept is blowing my mind
Thank you so much and I am glad to find your channel!
Rock on, brother.
