    "Yes ok it's not as efficient as creating things in blocks and maing sure things don't spill into the pathways but it's so much more fun" YESYESYES, exactly. I LOVE my messy wild food garden.

    Your videos inspire me to continue trying to garden. I run a little public kitchen garden in my little town and sometimes it’s hard and I want to give up.

But seeing what beautiful things you can accomplish in a small space makes me want to try again.

    Actually we did the same: thought what would be the most natural way - diversity!
    So i combined everything - all kind of vegetables, berries and flowers. I don't care who likes who, who was where before, where are the nutrients. I care more about what the plant needs/ likes: sun, water, soil, preferences.
    It is healthy, it is wild, it is colorful and full of surprises. Some stuff worked at one place and somewhere else not. I let them flower and seed themself and got surprised where they appeared by themself again. Even the paths changed from time to time. Some plants become friends, some challenged each other - it is fun to watch and to observe. In general my plants got pretty easy to handle and healthy. And we have so much insects and other wildlife here. I also use chop and drop - because time is short and plants and used soil need the nutrients they bring in as waste.
    Of course it is different, but I love to discover what is going on - a joyful garden that serves nature and humans. :)

This year they grew up the chicken run and provided the chickens with shade! The jungle effect just FEELS abundant! Beans and carrots have been productive, and we have hundreds of bunches of grapes ripening.

      Think of it this way. Nature would never 'build' neat beds where growth is organized. So its time to changer your mind, literally, and absorb the meaning of permaculture.
      If you had a pest infestation you see, and your plants were spread around, odds are some here and there would survive but if say, all your broccoli was in one bed and the cabbage moths came around well, it would take them long to find all the broccoli would it? All would be destroyed by them and their babies and their babies babies.
      This I believe, is what Huw is trying to say, that everything was planted with decision...for a reason.

    I love it Soooooo much!!!! I bought The Self Sufficiency Handbook but I’m so so so in love with this new wild permaculture garden! I wish I had your eye for design and I can’t wait until I have the knowledge to just intuitively know how to handle things. I would at some point love to know how you handle controlling plants like mints, yarrow, bergamot etc that have a tendency to take over?? I’m adding a border in my space and I’d love to put these things in but I’m scared. ♥️♥️♥️ love your channel and all of the crew!

    This is how my allotment plot looks! I went away for a week and had a committee member water for me and they said when in between beds and looking up close everything is well organised and productive, but from the outside looking in over the hedge it looks like absolute chaos. I find this way of growing a lot less stressful when organising myself as well as it keeping the soil and plants healthy, you get into a flow of knowing where things make sense to go.

    Great permaculture ideas. I may try doing more of that next year.

    Matt's Wild Cherry currant-sized tomato plant is fun to let crawl on the ground. It is hell to trellis, pours off sucker shoots at an incredible rate. But it will easily crawl around and root in and form a sort of circular hedge. It sends shoots up vertically a few feet on its own, pretty cool. It's fun to see these cute little red sweet tomatoes ripen in expanding circles starting from the initial planting spot. I have let other chery tomato vines crawl around on the ground and they love it. Being able to root in as they crawl gives them more vigor. My crawling plants always outlive my wounded trellis plants. Makes sense, all that pruning is constantly opening them up to disease and they have far less root for the amount of foliage and fruit and that area of soil can only transfer nutrients at a rate, having access to more water and mineral sources gives them great strength. Harder to harvest, but still not hard. Definitely not as pretty as a hanging truss of glorious tomatoes, but pretty sure the plants like it better. Easy enough to put some sticks in strategic spots to encourage some of the vines to climb while letting the others crawl.

    I Absolutely love the poly culture jungle style garden. It's doing my mums head as she prefers raws and "clean" garden, but that's alright as it's not her garden 😂
    I also left a lot of plants to go seeding and love seeing birds munching on and my mum is just mad as it makes the garden look untidy and i said it's natural 😂

    Dear Huw, thank you for your videos. They are very inspiring. I share your opinion about companion planting… it’s a bit too complicated. I tried it for a number of years to no real conclusion. Also I think a happy compromise between no dig, forest, organic and permaculture gardening is the best place to be No dogmatic stuff for me. Like you I prefer to make sure the soil is as fertile as possible and that is the most important. If there’s a space in the garden I fill it with something space under tomatoes for example. Happy companions are sometimes are sometimes unexpected like one of my tomatoes finding its way up a columnar pear!
    I have a general rule which serves me well.
    In my garden I only plant…
    Plants that give me food or are useful in cooking
    Plants that smell nice
    and plants that help the first two grow well.
    A rose with no scent will not be in my garden, a cherry that has no comestible fruit another no no etc
    I whole heatedly embrace your foraging idea in the garden too! A leaf or two here, a root there, some salad, some herbs etc marvellous ! Kindest regards

    This is how I grow my garden🌱💚❤️ It gets a bit “wild “ at times but I ❤ it. What’s the difference between permaculture and polyculture? When someone asks me what I’m growing I say “ Everything “. 😂👩‍🌾🌱💚❤️

    I always grow french beans up my tomatoes to double up on cops, but also once my tomatoes are at 6 truss i let any sideshoots from half way up the plant just grow, this gives me extra food and an even bigger frame for the beans , its a win win
