This 7 year old permaculture food forest will blow you away!

Your channel and others like you have inspired me to go down a similar path. Hopefully in 7 years I'll have a food forest half as good as yours 😊

Hey man, just wanted to say I appreciate your videos. They got me to start gardening this year, with some blueberries, raspberry canes, service berries and herbs. Starting slow but it's been very satisfying!

Rose petals can be eaten in salads or dried for herbal tea mixes. Adds beautiful collors and aroma. Also, can be distilled into rose water

How do you deal with wasp and bees. I don't want to mess with them great for ecosystem. But don't want to get kids and pets stung. Do you have the homes farther out in property so not as many at one time per plants? Thank you for video beautiful

You can harvest that horsetail and eat it or tincture it for medicine! ❤

Looking wonderful! Well done!

Such an incredible permaculture world you have created Keith! Thank you for the tour and best wishes.

Hi,

May I ask why horsetail may be a concern?


Thanks!

What do you all do for mosquitoes moving into swails en masse? It feels like they are extra intense since I dug it.

🌞

do you have a couple suggestions for top reads on permaculture?

I dry them for tea missed with other herbs nice and aromatic.

😂 It’s ok you talked all the way through our peaceful walk through.
Just ate our first peach today. It’s the only one as something sneakily ate the rest. Like some evil magician lurking. 😱 😢 🦌

I put fresh rose petals in my water to drink or in a bath. I dry the rest and use them in tea or as part of a rinse for my hair.

as always, thanks for your videos. one feedback though. I like this raised bed configuration, but i'm worried because they are on the concrete surface. isn't that gonna to make the beds dry out fast, with the heat from the concrete. if so, slightly moving them on to the lawn, right next to the concrete may make sense. just my thoughts.

Beautiful

I’ve noticed lately that my mindset has changed around this. I’ve shifted from thinking that I’m building a food forest to more of a forest with benefits. It’s become less about me and more about the creatures. I’ve turned from a farmer to a caretaker. And that’s the true worth of permaculture.

Always thank you for your videos! I prefer to listen to you talk, im still learning and it helps me identify or get familiar with all the greens. Amazing job you’ve done!

What is the plant at the very beginning, between tomato and kale??

It’s amazing that the kid that wouldn’t eat salad because you “don’t eat leaves” is eating everything in your garden. So proud of you.

You have created a paradise. Enjoy! It’s absolutely beautiful.

I didn't know you could eat the sweet potato greens ! Beautiful food forest!! And cute bench hidden in with the plants 😊 i want to try making sumac lemondade i need to try that

beautiful

Nothing quite like chewing a sorrel leaf! Thank you for the tour - exciting times as everything starts fruiting - even if old pupster pinches the strawberries!

Thanks a lot for your once again brilliant and beautiful video !!!
Do this every 2..3 weeks, I love it !
All the best to you, to your family and the food forest,
Thank you.

"Lots of beneficial bacteria on them"
AKA probiotics.

I have been obsessed with paw paw ever since I first tasted them. Lots of babies on my trees this year. Can't wait to start the harvest.
I'm a little jelly about your lovely pond 😉. You have created a wonderful place 👍👏

When did you get new chickens?

Hi Keith, do you know where to get permaculture design examples? Looking for a .4 acre pasture in temperate 6b with 12” annual rainfall.

The monarch butterfly you saw lookedmore like a moth to me. Also dragon flies keep their wings open flat. The ones you saw were damsel flies.

Local Native cultures used to char the coltsfoot and use it as a peppery seasoning

Ok dude great, but rinse the salad ,please😒

Amazing creation of life-giving areas! I love it & it is so enchanting! My little wild gardens give me joy, too! Goji berry didn’t survive the lawn turned to gardens but I shall try again! Thanks & blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

I have creeping Buttercup invading my asparagus and strawberry patch. Do you think it will be OK to leave to its own devices? The asparagus is only 2 years old, and I don't want to disturb it

You have such a lovely piece of property, and I recognize the amount of thought and work you have put in to make it so.

I wouldnt recomend eating anything without washing... at least here in Portugal. Sick rats can pee on fruits and vegetables.. if you eat it with that, it can be very serious. Not long ago, a person died... he had the misfortune to eat an unwashed apple that some rat peed on... the rat was sick and also poisoned since its very common here to control the pests... so... yeah... i wouldnt recomend that.

Iove to star my own permaculture ,how much land would I need ?

I like to make those but I use elk and venison😉
The food forest looks great sir.

Do you know if it’s possible to grow peaches (Reliance variety) in southern Manitoba (zone 4)?

Probably helpful to folks if you would expound on oxalates in a future video. At 62, I've spent the better part of my life reading up on nutrition, trying to eat well, tweaking my diet, and my health is generally excellent to show for it. I'm absolutely recoiling at the oxalates you are consuming here...I simply can't eat those without paying for it (for me, joint pain), and I can't be the only one. Rhubarb, Good King Henry, sorrel, beet greens, lamb's quarters, purslane, spinach, chard... Some I can consume in tiny amounts; some I simply don't eat anymore and feed to the chickens. Please emphasize consuming these "healthy greens" with caution.

Rose jam and culinary rose water! Middle Eastern recipes.

Another use for rose petals is giving them to your chickens. They will eat some and what’s left helps the coop smell better.

Talking ☑️ amazing plants☑️ loving your videos ☑️
Keep up the great work brother!

Raised beds are a perfect spot for winter vegetables if you get them sown...

Great work!! Would love to see pictures from before, during and after the work on the pond. It looks like it was already there.. or at least part of it🤔

I have noticed for about the past year that food from the grocery store and even the farmer's markets don't taste as good. And, sometimes, the texture of fruits and vegetables seem pretty strange? Anyone else notice this, or is it just me? BTW, I only buh organic produce. The food from my veggie garden tastes so much better!

Thank you,Thankyou,
For getting out of bed and doing what you do.
Much appreciated
