- Today we are in Tempe, Arizona visiting Craig's front and backyard food forest. The majority of these trees have been in the ground for only one year. Craig attributes his success to heavy mulching and heavy feeding.
To see more of Craig's yard, please visit his TH-cam channel / @camacdonald257
Special thanks to Brandon & Alyssa from Greenie's Garden ( / greeniesgarden ) for help in creating this video.

Hi. I am from Saudi. I used to be in Tempe in the late 70s . I always watch your great videos as I am panning to plant my yard. I leaned a lot . Thanks. Soon I will retire and have time to enjoy planting trees. If I ever have a chance to visit the states , I would certainly try to visit Tempe . If you permit, I might stop by and meet you . You are my cool mentor. Keep up the good work
You know when Shamus asks questions, it's not because he does not know the answer, but rather to educate us! Hahaha! A true legend!
O'Leary, ya big beautiful bastard! Its about time you got a new video going!
Very cool, man plant people are my people.
Would love to see this yard over 3 years later!
love seeing those huge mulch piles. i remember my yard looking like that. then a couple years later it's amazing to see how much it breaks down and flattens out. i need more woodchips! :)
Shamus is pretty damn impressed with this effort.
AMAZING! This is so inspiring and his dedication is evident in his yard. Good to know that there are gardens besides Jake Mace's that are beautiful and productive. Thank you for your episode. :)
Awesome video - I just bought 2 mangos, a Barbados cherry, and a star fruit from Shamus. He's got a large selection and the trees are good sized for the price.
We have similar sun to you hear in Australia, and I don't find it burns my loquats. White Sapote on the other hand gets sulky in the heat, and needs protection.When I changed my mulch from woodchips to a coarser mix (hedge clippings only and chop and drop) All of a sudden I had a far better habitat for predators and got much less insect attack. Particularly Mantis, small Lizards and spiders.
dude i was getting goosebumps. really impressive. only a year and you have nicer looking plants than you see some in their native area. i subscribed btw
Well done guys!!
Great informative video thanks
Inspirational. Thank you for sharing this kind of dedication to quality.
I'm truly impressed with everything you've accomplished, my old friend. :-) It's obvious how much dedication, care, passion, and love went into the creation of you're wonderful food forest. Anyone who sees this should be inspired by your honest hard work and effort... I know that I am. Maintaining that many plants in the AZ heat is no easy task. Especially to keep them as lush as you've managed, it's incredible.
Wow!! How cool is that!! Love his yard. Lots of hard work for a lifetime of good eats!! Thanks for all the fantastic videos Greenies & Shamus!
I just planted two loquat trees grown from seed. Oh Thank the God's I saw this video!..had no idea to protect from sun..Thank you sooooo much
Don is in love with the banana leafs :)
Thank you so much for this video. I live in Central Phoenix and am amazed at what you have accomplished, given our climate. You have definitely inspired me with yard goals.
Awesome vid guys!! Thanks for posting.
Love the red shoes 👟👍🏼👍🏼😁
😅😅
Amazing Yard!!
Thanks for taking us on the tour. I enjoyed it.
Absolutely Amazing and outstanding
Would love to walk by and have a snack!
Right on. Off to a good start!
I want to make my empty yard in Coolidge into something this amazing. I want to come to Shamus' place and plot out how my home can become a fruit and veggie paradise.
Hi Shamus, can't wait until your new nursery place open
Awesome yard
I would love a video on how you set up your yard especially while conserving water....I'm in Tucson and the ground gets really hot and it's difficult to water plants for the summer months
Check out Brad Lancaster, he is a genius at water harvesting and he is in your area
That's a lovely garden indeed. He could use some bee attracting plants though.
WAOO...great video and yard!! Thanks for sharing it...
This is impressive! Thanks for sharing!!
Great yard, but I was distracted by how impressive the camera work was. Nice job!
Great work on the video tour as well as your yard!
This is great guys. This shows the general public that they dont have to rely on the crap produced by intensive agriculture. Which is ruining the land, air and water. Spreading the good word!
Excellent video guys. It looks like all of Craig's hard work is paying off :). Thank you for sharing.
Great format, guys. This was a good watch!
Amazing. great job, beautiful yard !!
Looks cool
awesome
Absolutely beautiful & inspiring! Thank you 🙏 for sharing
Nice. 🧡
looks great, lots of love on those trees !!
"I'll keep quite." Means he'd definitely, absolutely would yank any and all fruit off such a small mango tree. :D Good for me to hear the shade advise on loquats as I've just begun to collect a few for my yard.
Just amazing.. wow!! Great work buddy
Amazing! Love to see this garden
omg,The growth rate on the Moringa and the Papaya are beyond anything possible outside of a big greenhouse here in the Bay Area. Mangoes ,Banana's do well...take time.
Congrats on a truly great job. Hey- ever try pineapples?
Beautiful yard, so inspiring. thankyou.
Love it and the results :)
Fantastic work and results!
Incredible!
Wow nice job man 1 year no way
Shamus is the best!!!
This is inspiring and beautiful!
Awesome garden!!
Amazing
Nice!
LAKATAN Banana is one of the sweetest :) from Philippines the one on the right I think is much more like lakatan
Thank you for this amazing video! I'm so excited to start my edible landscape!!! I need basic starter info. How do I get rid of my grass? Dig it up? Cover it up? I have sprinklers.... would like to convert to water tubes to water plants.
Impressive and jealous ❤️
Awesome
Great video that inspires me to duplicate it in Phoenix !!!!! IMO I would call it a FOOD FOREST and not a yard. Thank you for sharing. 09/13/2018
Great job!
you must have some fantastic soil below that mulch to get that kind of growth in 1 yr.
Can't wait till I can do this! Just trying to grow bananas in pots for now 😁
Love it
Can you please provide me the information (like where, how much for a ton and delivery fee) how to get the mulch? thanks.
Another excellent video and impressive trees and fruit. I"m from South Eastern New Mexico and would be impressive if I can grow half of what this yards have.
fuckin beautiful! very informative thank you guys! stay golden!
Wow... things grow like crazy in his garden. Does the owner add any fertilizer or it's all just thanks to the mulching?
If you don't have flood irrigation, you must have a huge water bill!
Hello shamus, is there any suggestions of how to plant a passion fruit vine? I want to get your soul, I would like to have it grow along my back fence. Thank you
Damn Jake Mace gained weight!
lol
Ha ha!
Finally got rid of the man bun I see
In the South we have problems with snails eating our crops because I leave mulch down the snails rather eat dead decaying leaves than my crops
These dudes should travel the globe teaching people how to grow food. That's 1 year worth of growth including the fruit. Imagine the carbon (sugar) load they've removed from the atmosphere and cleaned the air we breathe, plus produced food to feed people.
We eat bobado fruits with salt and fresh chilli pepper smash together with salt.
Give us an update!!
How about a follow up visit?!?
My wood chips arrived full of roaches. Be careful who you get them from. The chipping was low quality as well. Live and learn.
Hi, I have a few questions and I would appreciate your help. I AM CONFUSED. I grew up in NW IRAN in an old village. No tractors, no powered equipment, no chemicals. our soil there was 1 meter deep black fluff. You could spit seeds on it and things would grow. For hundreds of years, all they did was grow alfalfa, and wild flowers between rows of trees, feed a quarter to cows/goats, and throw the rest under trees. They let wild ducks come and eat pests.
Now I live in California. Here in N. California nothing has worked for me. Despite all the goodies.
My soil is very heavy clay. Then there is a hard pan 15 inches below surface that even my hammer drill could not handle.
I'm planning a fruit orchard. Should I break the hard pan? Or, Should I mound up the soil?
As far as soil....... do I mix lava rock/pumice, 🤔 and compost into this clay? I was told to never put compost under, or mix with clay. only put it on top.
how old is that rainbow euculyptus? anything special to make it flourish? i have one that looks maybe a year older than that one, and it doesn't really rainbow at all. bark peels once a year to reveal bright green and then just turns back to light brown. gets a lot of water.
What typw of mulch does he use and where did he aquire it in Phoenix?
Can you do a whip and tongue graft on citrus
Nice Yard! where do you get the mulch? does city of phoenix have a program?
John Stafford By calling every tree trimmer nearby until someone hooks you up!
yeah they do ive gotten some compost from them its great!
I think he said the papaya is Tainung No.2
Peter J. Hart yep
Where did he say he bought the $5 papaya tree from?
Caitlin Shanks az rare fruit growers spring 2016 plant sale
How much water does it take?
What are you feeding your papaya?
Great yard but many people have HOA troubles so they can not have this kind of thing.
More videos like these:')
does craig have an IG? im very curious about the rainbow eucalyptus
Ain't God good??? OMG!!
I so want to start my garden where did you get the seed or plants that you started with
Hey Shamus! Do you know someone who produces organic Aloe Vera gel? We want to make vegan and organic cosmetics and have a hard time trying to find a product without nasty chemicals like sodium benzoate, edta, etc.... Thank you for this amazing channel and let´s save the world together! Salutations from vegan Germany! Norman
Can someone tell me where I can find a place to order large orders of mulch to the buckeye area ? I have tried several landscape supply places but no luck
Shamus, do you sell fruit trees to customers in Texas via mail? If you do how does one order from you?
How do some of these trees grow so big so fast? It's like freakishly fast..
I really think it's the wood chips.
Your nickname should be shameless O'Leary =]
