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.

What are you harvesting from your garden or allotment right now? If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, what are you doing to prepare for spring or are you harvesting water crops?

@andreaburtonwood1440 17 дней назад

Hi Liz, my wife and I are avid followers of your escapades and find your content both informative and healing. A triumph over adversity! Well done, keep on keeping on 😀

@LizZorab 17 дней назад

Thank you so much. Well, that's made my day!

I’m in the Southern Hemisphere (Australia) so it’s the excitement of sowing tomatoes, eggplant, capsicum (peppers), zucchini (courgette), pumpkin/squash and all those other wonderful summer veg. I’m harvesting brassicas, asparagus, spinach and herbs mostly at the moment. The fruit trees are flowering now as the days get longer.

My late Mother never bought compost as she harvested mole hills on her daily walks. The farmer laughed that his field would disappear one day. I’m harvesting potatoes and beans in my garden.

I tried taking "miniature blueberry" cuttings and two are growing. These are grown for pots, don't get huge like standard bushes. They'll get potted on just before frost gets to them. Most of my attempts at cuttings are failures, but I have two successes out of tens of attempts.

Always love seeing your garden! I've got loads of cherry tomatoes, zucchini, beets, chard, peppers, leeks and winter squash. In Utah, US

lucky you liz, everything i had was destroyed by slugs and snails due to the constant wet weather. Thanks for the upload

@outsidestuff4867 17 дней назад

Wow really great most of your cutting took hold. For me it’s usually about a 30% success rate. But, I’m happy with that. Can’t seem to get it to work in water Though. I tend to pop in a spot in the garden that doesn’t dry out and hope for the best. Cheers!

I prefer to grow rose cuttings in a pot of compost or in straight into the soil, but I wasn't near the garden when I took the cuttings and popped them onto the kitchen windowsill and mostly forgot about them, except for topping up the water occasionally. Now I have the tricky bit of getting them to grow in compost after a few months in water!

@@LizZorab If you haven't yet moved your water-rooted cuttings to their in-ground home, you might try this: Pour vermiculite into the water until the vermiculite soaks and swells and fills up the water. Let the roots acclimate themselves to a "solid" environment for two weeks or a bit longer. Then transplant into soil. At this time of year I'd suggest an indoor pot or pots, and do the in-bed transplanting in the spring. Better, in future just pop your cuttings into a pot, a bowl, a pail, or a tall tumbler of wet vermiculite and let them develop their roots in that medium. Please understand that "wet vermiculite" means just that, and not a tumbler or pail full of water to which *some* vermiculite has been added. The purpose of the vermiculite is to mimic the effect of soil on tender young roots without imposing the weight of wet soil on them. The reason this method works: The developing roots, when a plant or cutting is "rooted" in water encounter no resistance because the water doesn't provide any; therefore you get "water roots" which are a bit weaker and are much more susceptible to transplant shock. Roots developing in vermiculite are being "soil touched" and develop as much sturdier growths, so when the time comes to transplant them they're better able to deal with the process. Meanwhile, when you want to check on the root development every so often (not every day and certainly not multiple times a day), you can lift the cutting from the vermiculite without harming the roots, and you can push the cutting and its new roots back into the soil without damaging the roots, assuming you are still careful with them. HTH. Much gardening love from Northeast Ohio, U.S.A. 😊💚💚💚💚💚😊

You’ve probably said before Liz, but where do you get your black hoops from? X I planted long red sweet pepper seeds also from peppers from the supermarket, they worked! 4 four healthy plants with peppers growing on them! Yay!

@LizZorab 16 дней назад

It's MDPE piping which you can buy or better still, ask nicely at a building site and they may have some offcuts that they are willing to give you.

Hi Liz, I’m busy in NZ sowing peas and peppers currently, composting all my bedsand chipping lots of wood for between my beds. Can I ask you what sort of gloves you wear for gardening?

@LizZorab 17 дней назад

A variety of gloves. The thinnest ones are 'disposable' surgical style gloves which I wear repeatedly until they have holes in them. Thin fabric gloves from Niwaki which I like because I can feel the soil through them. And also water resistant, super thick gloves with fleece lining for extra warmth.
