About Us.
Byther Farm is a small organic homestead, being designed and managed using permaculture practices. We aim for self-sufficiency in fruit and vegetables for increased self reliance and better resilience to the modern world. I recognise that we are unlikely to be truly self sufficient, but do the best we can. I share our home with my loving husband, Mr J.
We are a fifty-something couple who live on a smallholding in Carmarthenshire, Wales. We are going green and creating a gentler, cleaner and more healthy life for our family.
Having had a highly successful smallholding in Monmouthshire, we hope to recreate the abundance at our new home. There will be a large organic kitchen garden with no dig gardening raised beds and young food forest in which to grown our fruit and vegetables.
We keep a few sheep and Aylesbury ducks.

Liz, I like that you show the problem areas as well as the successes. Keeping it real. Thanks

@LizZorab Месяц назад

I find it very irritating when only the good bits are shown. We all have difficult spots in our gardens and I think sharing them is the best encouragement for other gardeners.

@bunlady1979 25 дней назад

i think im in love with your farm lol.. i would love this amount of space to grow more. Its beautiful

@LizZorab 23 дня назад

I feel very fortunate to have this space.

Forever grateful to you for introducing me to Asturian Tree Cabbage a number of years ago now. Along with Taunton Dean Kale it's a perennial that i would NEVER be without. They're the two workhorses of my garden and so productive.

@LizZorab Месяц назад

What a lovely comment, thank you so much!

@@tonyr7393 I’d love to try it, but have never seen seeds for sale where I shop. Do you happen to know how low of a temperature it can withstand in winter? I’ll try to track it down if it’s possible to grow here.

@tonyr7393 17 дней назад

@@emkn1479 The online shop i buy from in the UK won't ship to the US but you may be able to source seeds from Amazon etc. (not ideal, but probably worth chancing it for a few dollars). Our UK winters aren't as harsh as the PNW, but we did have a prolonged cold spell in December 2022 (below freezing for about 10 days on the trot) and i lost some of my plants. The Asturian's will tolerate some cold, so if you can grow them somewhere protected you might have a chance of getting a few of them to overwinter. Again, worth trying in my opinion, as the plants are so productive and useful. Even if you don't eat the leaves, the bright lime green colour of them can look great in a flower border.

@emkn1479 17 дней назад

@@tonyr7393 thanks for the information. In my area we have temperatures well below freezing in winter, sometimes even approaching zero F plus windchill that makes it feel even colder, but winters are often milder than they used to be and we don’t see those extremes for very long. That said, our garden is very exposed. I’ll see what I can find and go from there. Thanks again!

Thank you so much

@juliehartley3652 Месяц назад

Thank you - your garden looks really lovely. Glad to see your husband helping with the composting. The tree cabbage looks really good, I think I might grow one of those on my allotment next year - thanks for the tip.👍

@LizZorab Месяц назад

Thank you Julie. I hope you'll enjoy the tree cabbage as much as I do!

@gmorgan894 Месяц назад

Thank you for the ideas and the inspiration Liz , my allotment looks amazing this year , have planted so many flowers in with the beds it looks and smells amazing. You and Huw Richards are so good to watch.

@LizZorab Месяц назад

Thank you!

@jeannamcgregor9967 Месяц назад

In my garden, albeit much warmer and dryer, I have found I can often overwinter beans by cutting them off at the ground when I harvest. They re-sprouted in the spring from the roots and those beanstalks were more vigorous than newly planted vines. (These were specifically Greek Gigantes beans).

@LizZorab Месяц назад

Yes! I've made several videos showing how to do this and the results. Most runner beans are perennial if given a bit of mulch or protection in very cold winters.

@henriettaczokoly Месяц назад

You looking great Liz ❤

I love your new composter very fancy the more I garden the more I realize how important compost is and just how precious it is

@LizZorab Месяц назад

Thanks Drema, I was very luckily gifted it a few months ago and I'm really pleased with how quickly it creates a new batch of compost. I'll email you via Patreon with some rose photos!

@rough-hewnhomestead5737 Месяц назад

Great tour...looks like things are producing nicely!

@LizZorab Месяц назад

Thank you!

@Garricher5958 Месяц назад

Thank you, Liz for your channel. I think in heavy clay soils its prudent to leave the vegetable roots (beans, peas etc) in the soil if for no other reason(s) than to aerate the soil, and, or feed the microbes under the ground.

@LizZorab Месяц назад

I agree with you about roots in soil!

@annicabackstrom7757 Месяц назад

Thank's for a lovely video! 🤗

@LizZorab Месяц назад

Glad that you enjoyed it!

@BeFree-BeFrugal Месяц назад

Good idea with the replanting the baby potatoes on the big plant. Wonder if trimming the top growth would be a benefit 🤔

@LizZorab Месяц назад

I'll cut back one of the plants and see if there's a difference.

@stevendowden2579 Месяц назад

you got some lovely crops there liz

@LizZorab Месяц назад

Thanks Steven, it's all very slow growing this year, but hopefully we'll still have plenty of food to go through the winter.

@anonet78 Месяц назад

Liz my tree cabbages are doing great thanks to you.

@LizZorab Месяц назад

Pleased to hear it, I think they are a superb veggies!

@tonysgardensgizmos7164 Месяц назад

@LizZorab Месяц назад

They taste pretty good too!

Gosh the garden is looking so.mature now Liz. So fed up with the slugs, it is a constant battle this year. 5 sowings of green beans and runners still little to show for it 🫣

@LizZorab Месяц назад

Thanks Lynn, the garden does feel as though it's filling out and growing up! The slugs are nuisance aren't they? I've started almost everything (except root veg) inside this year and potted on until they are much larger than I'd usually wait before planting them out.
