Before he retired, I wonder what he did as he knows so much about plants. Interesting guy. I'm curious how long he has been living there and cultivating his private paradise. So now I will watch your other video to see if my questions are in that one. Thanks guys for doing this!

I don't think he talks about his career in the other video - he was a chiropractor. But his story is great! Here's the story: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h3V3ayDOdcE.html

Dang, I want his yard! How wonderful to have all of those fruits growing in your backyard ready to pick when ripe. Not only does Steven know the trees, but the health benefits as well, very knowledgeable. I hope that the seeds from the fruit Kat found grow quickly, strong, and healthy.

This is amazing! Love the plants and how knowledgeable Steve is about them. I am staying on a start up off-grid community a couple hours North of Todos Santos and we are very curious if you happen to know whether Steve would be interested in anyone contacting him to talk plants and Tilapia (we have those too)?

The only magic in the brownies was cacao based! But that's a pretty magic chemical in itself. Cinnamon tree is a great idea!
@OldSchoolPrepper
@OldSchoolPrepper 2 месяца назад
nice...I'd like to know about the super secret soil. When I'm in Mexico I always compost in place e.g. bury organic material directly into the garden, that works but it takes a lot of time.
@AlmostRetiredinMexico
@AlmostRetiredinMexico 2 месяца назад
I can't remember where the soil was from - I think an arroyo. That kinda makes sense because the arroyos probably fill up with topsoil when it rains. Definitely put that organic material to use!

How did you get these tropical fruit trees and plants into Mexico? I'm originally from the Philippines, currently living in Huatulco, Oaxaca. I would love to grow a food forest but cannot find local sources for them.

@davebaker489 2 месяца назад
I was waiting to see if he had star fruit. Mom n Dads neighbour in Florida grew star fruit and a host of other tropical fruits. You need to chill it right down before cutting it. Delicious. Thank You (all 3) for the delicious tour. So Mr B when is Kat moving to that area ? LOL PS How were the brownies ? P n D
@AlmostRetiredinMexico
@AlmostRetiredinMexico 2 месяца назад
The brownies were magical. Chilled! And about as chocolaty as they get! Kat isn't moving. She's not allowed. He might have had star fruit hiding somewhere - there were a few corners of the yard he didn't drag us into.
