- An extensive farm tour of the abundant and constantly transforming permaculture farm at Punta Mona Center for Regenerative Design and Botanical Research in Limón Province, Costa Rica. Lead by community members Timo Mendez and Spencer White.
This tour provides detailed explanations and examples of the various regenerative systems we utilize on our farm such as biochar soil amendment, banana circles, natural construction, and much more.
Fantastic video. Looking forward to watching some more of your content. 😊😊😊
Amazing video Timo! Your amazing with your knowledge. This is Tom from the hostel in Puerto. I can feel you are doing great. I'm loving being here in Puerto still. One love
Thanks for this! Thoroughly enjoyed the tour
I'd love to go to Punta Mona in the future to learn more about permaculture, I'm from Panama, we call that pepper "Ají Chombo". 🤗🤗💗
Beautiful gardens thank you for sharing your time n knowledge.
It is a wonderful part of the world.
Vetiver has numerous uses, one of which is as a flavoring in beverages. It is an amazing plant.
Cool, I've never used it in that way myself! Thanks for the info.
AWEsome video, thank u 4 sharing your valuable knowledge. What a gorgeous garden!!!!
great tour! we have similar plants here in Ecuador Fruit Haven Ecovillage :)
Excellent video❤️
I am amazed!
Eres idéntico a tu papá 😱 love this tour! I want to go live there 😻
gracias
Love this so much
this is so awesome
20:35 you can take all the leftover fruit from making vinegar or juice or jelly‘s jams take the leftover fruit mash it up real good spread it across some thing and then put it over the fire and eventually it’ll dry out until like a freeze dried like material you just break it up put it into a jar and eat it like you would eat a granola bar can take several different fruits and vegetables and do this and then make a trail mix to have while you’re out working on the farm
great tour 💕
Love ackee, haven’t had it for da longest time. Need to get back to JA. It does grow here in Hawaii but to find the trees is da problem
so much knowladge!!!
Its great!
You are amazing!!! Where did you get your knowledge from?
Loveee all the herbs. Do you use them for medicine? Obviously ya do with the tulsi
use a loose plastic bag to cover the papaya
works really well, i do it all the time to my papayas
Yeah this was filmed a while ago, but since then the use of plastic gloves ended up solving the problem and we're now we are able to harvest the mature papayas.
Hey guys, wonderful tour video, and so inspirational, can u tell me why the mango tree is not fruiting? Is it that mango's in general don't fruit in this part of costa rica at the coast near panama? Am asking because I'm thinking of becoming a steward of a land over there and am researching which crops/plants can or can not grow in specific regions, Much love
Every plant is different, and I would say that something like a mango can produce fruit anywhere in the tropics, it just depends how it is taken care of. This mango was never properly pruned to encourage fruiting. If it was, I am sure it could produce fruit in that climate (we actually had a mango tree at this farm start fruiting a year after we heavily pruned it).
In general, it is smart to focus on crops that you know will grow well in your area because they require little maintenance, and you can quickly learn what these plants are by looking at what your neighbors have growing!
@@FarmedandForaged my brother, I thank you very much for your answer and the information ! It's a pleasure to read this, I hope u've got some spare time for a new youtube video whenever u feel like❤️
Here in PR, we a water apple variety called Pumarosa that has been used for wine making since the conquest. If you d.m. your address, i will mail you a leather belt! Keep up the good work
hej! what a wonderful and rich permagarden! i am totally in love... are you also producing vetiver essential oil?
Thank you! We're not. It actually takes an incredible amount of any plant to make a single vile of essential oil! Though we have a lot, we aren't growing it for production, but rather for the plants serving their purpose while growing.
true... guess that the oils are doing fine in the mulch.
I wonder why the mango tree doesn't produce frruit. It's the perfect climate.
I don't think it was ever pruned during its earlier stages of growth, which could have a lot to do with it.
@@FarmedandForaged ahhh makes sense..thanks for the reply
coca?
Yes
Never-never land is a place of increasing crime. And Costa-Rica has no armed forces. Think about the risks and dangers. These young people are sitting ducks.
Yes as far as you're concerned. As far as I'm concerned, living off-grid while having access to water, power, and food, and not being reliant on systems that are vulnerable to collapse (initially in the case of war/disaster), puts me in a much more resilient position for coming changes in the world. But you're entitled to your own perspective and we don't share the same fears.
