  • In 20 minutes I share everything I wish I knew before I started designing my permaculture food forest.
    This video covers strategies for capturing and storing water, improving and feeding your soil, creating a baseman for capturing your observations, swales, contours, guilds and layering your food forest and working with succession as well as some syntropic agroforestry techniques that you can use in your backyard.
    A permaculture food forest requires upfront work, but the long-term rewards are huge! That is why I believe it’s the easiest way to grow food. No annual tilling, no toiling under the hot sun year after year, no need to purchase inputs once your forest is established. Once you set up a successful system, it will thrive and offer abundance for generations to come.

      Well produced. Your content is as densely and nearly layered as your garden. Mostly watching for nostalgias sake, as I grew up in Northern CA. But it's also fascinating to compare my own systems 17 years into the tropics. It took me a decade to learn to build large scale systems from scratch without any outside inputs. In my case, it's because outside inputs aren't an option. No industry and no road here. It's fascinating to see all the ways that it's so difficult to truely unplug from unsustainable systems, especially within industrialized economies like North America. It's so easy to get hooked on inputs with the excuse of building towards something sustainable.
      Great job with water conservation too. A note on terracing contours: if you A-frame a steep slope into beds, even with ample connections and mulch, the whole thing can wash out in a heavy rain. Happened to me years ago. A property as flat as yours doesn't need contouring for catchment. You did great with just berms and swales.

    why? it makes sense. as a teen in the seventies, read mother earth news...married young, three sons later, no decent money, had trouble pulling together dinners...kids in school went to work, rushed home no energy to do more. fast forward, kids grown and worked more hours than did before, ridiculous cycle, widowed and married again, couldn't slow down still and stress was high. asking what did I want to do I never did. live as close to the land as possible. retired 2019, bought 13 acres and had a tiny cabin built and a greenhouse and off grid solar and said I am done. I do not work a job. I am a senior. I garden and preserve. I try to fine ways to do with less and minimal lifestyle is perfect. I am at peace finally. why not?

    Suggestion:
    When drawing over your basemap, you can use multiple layers of tracing paper, each with sketches and notes on a different topic, so you can be as detailed as you wish without getting confusing or messy. Then you can overlay them as needed to check on how they interact.

    • @Ubiquinode

    We've also been too fast on putting in the fruit trees and not nearly enough support species. Your food forest looks great. We don't bother with all the planning, instead we take a really anarchistic, iterative approach, by planting lots of things and then slashing down the losers and feeding them to the winners later.

    Its taken me almost 5 years to get my rented house's garden to feel like its finally becoming lucious.. Which is a shame because we move in 3 months to our much more perminant home and I start my journey again. I am so excited to take all my failures with me and build bigger and better than ever!

I did the same, living with my parents-in-law and helping with their existing dense and varied food garden, and adding to it. Now I have taken the best ideas (and clippings and roots) to the new place 2 km down the road. I will never regret that 'apprenticeship'.

Something I wish I had done when I first started is meeting more local gardeners, I'm going to check out a farmers market soon, and im going to try to make some connections there.

      its more physical than anything. Shoveling dirt and wheel barrelling dirt rocks and wood chips is very physical She glossed over that to keep the video peaceful but the amount of physical labor this girl did is alot likely 100 to 200 hours of hard physical work before she even planted anything in the ground

      @Goldifarms  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      This is true 😅 conditioning my body for the labor was something I wish I had done before I had land. I worked as a software designer and had no idea how physically demanding working the earth is. Even carrying a bucket full of water - that's 40 pounds - which is more than I had ever lifted in a pilates class 😂 . I had to start slow, working just an hour or so a day, then over the years I got a lot stronger. You can do it! Your body will adapt so long as you eat well, rest, and take care of yourself and don't push yourself beyond your limits 💛

    When my exhaustion becomes overwhelming I recall my "why" to keep me going. It's best to have more than one "why" so at any given time one of the "why"s resonates with you and helps you to keep going. My "why"s are chemical/hormone free meat (protein). For that we raise grassfed beef. Another "why" is prairie restoration. With prairie restoration I'm rewarded when we see a new wild flower or a new bird species on our property.

    I can't thank you enough for making this video. I've had visions of making my own video some day and what that might look like as I daydream through the drudgery of chaos my life currently is as we continue trying to recover from a shady contractor for renovations. This has now put me two years behind during a time in our world when it is so very important to have this going already! Anxiety is climbing higher as things continue to get in the way and I struggle through, shall we say, neurodivergent issues making it very difficult for me to grasp things, let alone plan anything! Life has been chaos since 2018 and I've longed for the day when my world looks ..... like your video.
    There is just no other way to say it. THIS is the vision I keep playing in my head that keeps me going. It gets me out of bed every day instead of allowing depression pin me to the bed and anxiety paralyzing me there. It is my belief that this goal... this vision is keeping me out of a padded room with a self-hugging jacket (said humorously, but absolutely seriously).
    Of course it hasn't been this EXACT vision. It's still vague as to what it will end up like... but it is like this rather than traditional gardening with straight rows of monocrops. Also... every time I saw you frolicking in your garden... I have envisioned me doing the same with *this* song as the background. (th-cam.com/video/p-Ggji8TuVE/w-d-xo.html)
    I've finally got a little pile of compost as my "learner" pile while trying to construct raised beds out of pallet boards. I'm currently helping my sister and her elderly husband who has dementia. I'm hoping to create a garden that will invite him out of his bed and into nature more, maybe even interacting with the garden. So, before I get to what I envision (like what is in your video), I will be using raised beds for a while. While I do these things, I'm trying to puzzle out some things ahead of me in the not too distant future. Maybe you could help!
    I live in Alaska, zone 4b. I tend to focus on what it will take to survive the winter. So when I try to figure out where compost is going to live permanently I would like to take advantage of the heat it produces. There are a lot of options to consider. Also, with water storage in Hugelkulture mounds... it will freeze solid. I have not researched yet about the effect of that on the plants within, etc... but I just wonder about it. There are also frost heaves to consider which can be quite damaging. It's what causes the waves in the roads up here, which are more noticeable on longer straight stretches like between Anchorage to Fairbanks. I'm sure there are many other things I've yet to consider in regards to my climate and the things I learn about permaculture... I am quite new to all this. I'm just wondering what insight you might have to doing permaculture in such an environment or... if you have no personal insights, perhaps you know where to direct me?

    hi from australia! i just subscribed. my dream is a food forest for land i just purchased. but more importantly, the intention is to heal the land alongside myself...hand in hand healing with mother. i feel totally overwhelmed about getting started. and im a beginner gardener, only just starting in the last 12-18 months. my favourite parts of this video were the planning and drawing steps and the huggel mound (i know thats not the right word!) steps where good design will make the most of water. i would love more in depth videos on that, that really spell it out for a total novice like me. i feel totally out of my depth. your video is wonderful, especially the parts about connecting with imagination and inner power. im a novice in this area too. i feel like i can glean a lot from your channel so thank you for this video. i look forward to checking out the rest of your channel.
