Thank you :) Yes, I do sell seeds. Here is the link to my online shop www.foodforestseeds.au/product/roselle-rosella-seeds-hibiscus-sabdariffa/ Have a great day!
I would love some cardamon, black peppers and cloves. How long before we can harvest the cardamon seeds from the start? Thank you God bless you MARANATHA
Yes it is true, many fruit trees have a bumper crop one year and almost nothing the next year. I have a mature nectarine tree that last year had hundred's of fruit in Spring, and this year there is nothing.
Yes we have a lot of mulberries this year too. The birds are getting them first though, so next year we will cut them down to a very low height and cover them up. Tomatoes were good last year, not so good this year.
This year the birds don't care much about our Mulberries luckily ;) My tomatoes are still small so no idea what we get. Last year was a good tomato year for us, too! Happy gardening :)
@@PermacultureHaven you are very blessed. Our birds are crazy for our mulberries unfortunately. But I allow them to eat them and some pawpaws so they leave other fruits alone
Ewa, I used to think that Banana pups needed to be removed, UNTIL I watched a RU-vidr do an experiment which PROVED that in fact, Banana patches are MORE productive with more pups. This is because the pups provide the underground corms with more energy (more leaf surface area = more energy/sugars into the root zone). I tried it and it’s true. Now I never remove pups. Nature always knows best.
I got this tip form a banana farmer. The nutrients go into the suckers rather than to the fruit. That is what I got told while studying gardening science but you might have a good fertile soil do it won't make much difference for the first few years. Lucky you!

This is the most interesting way of making salami. My parents make home made sausages with the skins. I really enjoy watching you in the kitchen and love your accent. I was born in Slovenia and came to Australia when I was 4 yrs old. That was over 53 yrs ago. So I have no accent, but my parents sound like you.
Hi Diana :) Thank you for your lovely comment. I was born and raised in Poland, lived in Germany and now in AU for 18 years now. Yes, we do make sausages in skins, too but this one is just something different and very delicious! Ps. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you liked the video ;) Take care xx

Thank you for sharing your skills on preservation. I need these skills. Please share all these survival skills you could share. Thank you God bless you MARANATHA
A chook will eat (or kick out) any non fertile eggs she is sitting on to keep the nest clean. Quails would probably do the same. If she was able to leave the enclosure she probably would have walked away and left them there. What time frame was it between seeing the eggs under her and then this video?

What a lovely healthy looking garden! Your mulberries are amazing. I wish we had that variety here in Rarotonga. Ours are teeny tiny. I'm wondering if your mystery tree might be a lolly tree - salacia?
Hi Ewa, I enjoyed watching you going through you fruit forest and was wandering what do you fertilise your friut trees? They are growing so well. I live south of Brisbane and have about 20 fruit trees in my back yard that is 1200 sq metres. Some are growing well, others no. I have a olive and a pecan nut tree both over ten years old and never fruit.
Hi Diana :) I fertilise my trees from time to time, maybe twice a year with what I got. Homemade compost tea, worm juice, sometimes aged chicken manure, and I mulch them twice a year, too. Ohh, your backyard must look amazing with all the trees! I have an olive tree that is about 6 years old and is not even one meter high.
Hello from the south side of Brisbane. Your Permaculture food forest looks awesome, I love mulberry I have like tight dwarf mulberry now. How long do you dry the leaves out for to make the tea?
Hi Ewa. Im watching from North Queensland. Love to see what youngrow down there....some things we cant grow up here, but we grow a lot of what you grow too.
Love the grow bags, all veryhealthy looking.The garden just lovely to see. Getting too difficult for me to do much gardening but still grow my veges in pots these days and manage to eat well enough from my little plot.Happy gardening
I have guineas, and they have always been terrible mothers. However, this year one hatched a dozen eggs. I captured all but 3 and gave them to a friend who was wanting to raise them. I am astonished to see that my guinea mother still has all 3 babies, fully feathered and flying to the top of the barn to roost at night.

Your quail habitat is lovely. It will be good to see if the hen can raise a brood. Perhaps all it needs is for the birds to be in a natural environment, rather than the way they are usually raised.

I am enjoying watching your videos on homemade compost tea. I have a question ... can I make the tea out of weeds rather than say longevity spinach. I am just establishing my garden and do not have a bountiful supply of much other than weeds, lol! Thank you, Merryn! 🙂
