@2:30 “you are what you eat; if you don’t know what you eat, you don’t know what you are.” I choked up with tears. How do we even begin to respect land, water, and sky if we don’t even respect ourselves enough to know who we are?!

"Who am I?" Is the most powerful spiritual question. Once a person realizes that they are not their thoughts, nor their body, but that divine consciousness which hears the thoughts and experiences the world through their body, it transforms everything.

THE MOST WHOLESOME VIDEO I'VE SEEN

@Eric998765 2 года назад

A few things from my personal experience doing this type of thing: •Don't buy potted plants as they are often root bound and can be expensive if you didn't germinate yourself. If you did germinate yourself use root trainers. I always just buy bare root trees because they aren't root bound and can be had for less than $1 each. •Plant more than you need. If you aren't super concerned about penny pinching, buy 3-5 trees per spot that you want a tree, and cull as they get older leaving a final, healthiest tree. Mark Shephard does this and calls it the STUN method •Don't worry if your trees get munched on. The first year I ever planted I put up a bunch of posts and netting and deer still got in and mowed everything to the ground. However, I had a lot of survivors because trees are used to that kind of thing. I've planted many times since and while deer haven't been a problem, my wife's horses will sometimes take a nibble. They just come back stronger next year •Be patient. I've planted bare root trees in the middle a pasture with zero protection and I've planted potted trees in a protected space and no matter what, I always lose about the same percentage of trees to the elements, and they all take about four years to really start taking off. Once they start growing though, man do they go fast. Typically for me is is zero inches per year for four years, then three or more feet per year after that, even for slow growing trees like oaks.

@TheWeedyGarden 2 года назад

Super tips. Thanx Eric

@ruanddu 2 года назад

Hi Eric, can you please share where to find $1 bare root trees? I haven’t been able to find them for less than $15-$20 each - about 3-4 feet tall for that price.

@Eric998765 2 года назад

@@ruanddu I live in NA, specifically SC, so I buy a lot of trees from Mellowmarsh Farm located in NC (prices $0.85-1.15). I've also purchased a lot of trees from Cold Stream Farm located in MI (prices $0.23-15.00 depending if you buy in bulk or not) and Chief River Nursery in WI ($1.00-10.00). I usually don't get super tall trees, just 1'-2' because once the roots get established they grow fast anyway. Plus even at those heights the roots can be too big for a hole made with a dibble. Best way to find nurseries is to Google the latin name of a tree you want and add bareroot ie "quercus alba bareroot" and you should get a lot of results, many of which might even be local to you.

@TheWeedyGarden 2 года назад

Yeah. It powered for sure. I had to strip it of fruit because I felt it was stressing it. Only a year old. Felt like a poor teenager with HUGE boobs, so I fed them to the worms (who totally loved them). Made so much green papaya and chilli salad that I looked like a papaya. The tree is now double the hight and looks more like a young lady now.

@lawntofoodforest 2 года назад

I’m using bananas and ice cream bean to fast track my canopy. I see you have a few bananas, harvest the pups and spread them around your swales. One for every two fruit trees is a good ratio. They quickly multiply you don’t need to buy more than a few to start with. Find an ice cream bean tree and plant the seed fresh, they don’t last long if they dry out. Once growing they will quickly over take your fruit trees and become the mother. Ice creams give mottled light, fix nitrogen and provide food. I harvested a few pods for free and I’m growing a dozen in my backyard food forest. If they create too much shade one day, pruning them back sends signals through the roots. This triggers massive growth in all your trees. Geoff teaches to set up the pioneer plants first and I get it now. I also made the mistake of starting with fruit trees and wondering why they died.

@EagleSlightlyBetter 2 года назад

14:00 When I lived in far north queensland, I built canopies for all of my seedlings using browned palm fronds, which we had everywhere. I'd cut the thick stems at a sharp angle, sliding them into the soil in a circle around the young plant - looked like a big nest. The young plants would grow up through the fronds, which not only provided dappled shade, but also protection from the wind and animals, and a bit of scaffolding. Eventually, the fronds compost in place.

“I thought this was the sound the sun made”! The sound of the cicadas that I heard living in Cyprus with my military family. Now I am very disconnected from the the food supply living in Central London with post COVID Tinnitus, I tell myself that “this is the sound the earth makes, I am simply hearing the earth’s engine when I couldn’t hear it before”! I moved into a basement rental flat a year ago with a 40’ x 5’ basement area which I have turned into a garden and I was surprised to hear all the compliments and people photographing my cats sunbathing 10’ below street level. Only have lemons, olives, tomatoes, and herbs at the moment but this has inspired me to educate myself and grow some pretty veggies. I think I am grounding when walking barefoot on the concrete but have grounding mats on the cats and my bed just to be sure. “The Earthing Movie” is on utube if you haven’t learned the benefits of being barefoot yet? Namaste 🙏💜💐💜🙏

@justafriend3408 3 месяца назад

Im doing something similar in Africa, its my passion; i live as a minimalist as well, so no money pressures. It's my life, my terms. My approach is different, starting small with a kitchen garden, where all kitchen waste goes in to fertilise the mainly vegetable garden and then slowly expanding it out from there with fruit trees also benefiting from the same fertility and moisture. I started eating from the garden within a month starting with fast growing local vegetables

I'm sorry to hear about your loss of progress :( I do have some questions for you though since you have the experience. I recently acquired a property in Eastern Washington State that I plan to devote about 1.5 acres to a food forest. Currently the area is a meadow in a forest of Ponderosa Pine. I know to dig swales, but I don't know where to begin when it comes to what sorts of plants would manage the freezing winters and hot dry summers. I am from a subtropical clime that doesn't dry out too much in the summer. Any tips would be appreciated since I don't see too many permaculture youtubers creating content about our environment!

Small update: this was not a criticism by any means. I wish I had such a support network. Just a feeling of defeat, for a time. I’m back at the beginning. I’m near Lismore with a strange arse suburban block & crap soil full of ants growing non-native or non-productive plants my Mum likes. But of course, at least we aren’t dealing with bombs in the front lawn so Yay!

Thank you 🙋🏻‍♀️💜 your vid is very informative & entertaining…. Didn’t feel like 15 mins, it was nice to get lost in your garden 🪴

This video makes me cry... in a good way! it's such a beautiful and resonant vision. I may not have thought of being a gorilla but everything else for sure! And so I began two years ago in earnest to learn permaculture principles and start my journey to food forest freedom here on the 11 acres we are grateful to inhabit. thank you so much for this wonderful inspiration and knowledge! 💚

I love and am inspired by not only your gardening journey but also by your genius video and editing skills. That scene where everyone gathered to create the O in community is pure art. I see this channel on it's way to 500k subs very quickly

NEVER MISTAKE quantity for quality - it's SURELY THE WAY to HELL - BUT ONLY those with eyes to recognise and ears to understand WILL SEE IT!

Hello Weedy, wow you have come along way since the beginning. You are a tonic to watch and listen to. I have dabbled in Permaculture for 40years but never able to completely immerse myself in it and live it fully, too scared. I'm looking forward to the next few years of truly getting stuck in 100 %. love your channel, its so calming and inspirational.

Can you grow mangoes there?

Hi Weedy, lovely to see the whole development! You are so privileged in that area with the weather and soil! Much harder on the western slopes nsw. Exposed to wind and dust. But it's all going well!
