Sillegården är en viktig plats för oss ämtervikingar. Jag håller tummarna att du får till en bra lösning!

Fantastic stuff

Masterpiece

nobody is worried about rats?

Hi Richard, do you use recycled corrugated cardboard or pure cellulose?

You are my hero, even more since your coming-out as a carnivore. I am beyond delighted to know you're back to produce contents. You would be a tremendous promoter for the British carnivore community, but if you decide not to be vocal about the subject for obvious commercial reason, you'd still be my hero.

I came up with the idea of seales contour lines and all the rest and i haven't had time to think about what to say about it all. Yes you are right, not everywhere they are good. Also you should add that if you add swales and water grabbing mechanisms and hacks? Then also and why not build ways to drain the land? You won't need to drain a high dessert areas but a DAMP like the Uk doesn't need that, but in summer. What we need here is male urine to get to the trees to grow and and most other plants.

How do you start? here is my vegie plot cover with carboard or fibre-geofab for weeds, mixing topsoil with manure into rows say 12"deep with mulch footpaths at 6"deep on top of the cardboard or geofab ? and when you first started, did you increase your flowering plants mixed within crops to encourage pollination or did you get a hive or two of your own or are both necessary for higher yields?

Charles Dowding is pushing a software package to do all this, maybe you could adapt it for your own use?

I've been away for four years, and must have had some form of ethereal contact, as just looked you up again, and found this exciting new project. Best wishes to all, and certainly looking forward to the deveoping ideas you have now.

Thats really sad to hear, and in Sweden....Stealing baby chickens, whats the world coming to? I have to deal with a lot of theft on my market garden in Tulbagh, South Africa., so I feel your pain.

Wow !😊

저런 분들 덕분에 우리가 맛있는 고기를 먹을 수 있는 것 이겠지요. 감사합니다.

How long do you leave the birds to drain before plucking? When I do birds there is still a fair amount of blood inside them

How have I only come across Richard Perkins this year.... Incredible wealth of knowledge.

Don’t slaughter it in front of other animals

I highly appreciate your content, it very informative to us as broiler farmers

It looks beautiful. Its like another world, another ecosystem right outside your door. Brilliantly done! God bless.

id use a red hot poker or a soldering iron to make the holes ....might stink a bit ,think its a fast way though...

Amazing done right my dream is to own land to be able to harbor grow my own beef

Do you know " sonnenerde" In Austria ?

Thanks! 37:52 Crop Planing with LEGO (very cool)

Curious what your roosting looks like in there doesn’t look like any bars but maybe they drop down

Lol exactly what i came for. Ty so much for this short.

👍👍👍

Muy buen trabajo hermano! Abrazo desde Argentina... si buscas nuevas recetas y información para tu libro tenes que venir de visita a nuestro país

I love this method ,I am going to use it ,from South Africa.

Hey man. Found your video as I was looking for inspiration on pollarding my young birch here in Scotland. Before I go searching through your other videos, and in case I lose this one 😅, mind tellin me if you had success with the birch pollarding in the end? Like you said, I've heard that they're not big fans of either pollard or coppice unless super young. Thanks in advance!

Congratulations. Hopefully there is someone around there with all the history, photos, stories, etc about Sillegarden that would help with a future book once you have transformed it into its next life. Cant wait to see what you do there. Best of luck.

Hi Richard great video thanks. You made this a year ago so how has it matured? Do you find it keeps clean easily or do you struggle with algae? We are considering building one but live in the south of France so not sure if the heat might be a problem?

Sorry i didn't hear the name but What's the name of the German plucker?

£60…

I’m impressed and excited. There’s a kind of place here in Ojai, California. It’s called Ojai Grass Roots Farms. I love it, bringing community together and add value to your local farmers. Wishing you all the best! ❤🎉

Great video, new sub :)

love this!!

Fabulous! Fabulous!Fabulous! So excited for you and your Expanding Regenerative Farm/Lifestyle Enterprise! ❤️🙏🎉👏👏👏

Lol now calculate the cost of buying the land and building a house on it, and all the permits needed to sell and even raise animals. For example, in Germany, hell, even in Serbia, just to get 2 ha of land, I'd need 40k-100k, but usually 100k+. And that's not nearly enough to make profit because you can't have enough animals on that small amount of land, especially considering that a quarter of it will have to be infrastructure.

Just beautiful 😊

Really amazing how you bring it to the point, Dankeschön .

Pretty cool!

Just made my day seeing you are back. 🙌

👍👍👍👍

So totally inspirational, I knew it was gonna be good, but this is totally extraordinary! I’m amazed and full of admiration for the vision of both you and your team. The amount of insects in the September section and the amount of bird song and calls in the background of the films gives a ‘idea’ of the potential, regards bio diversity gain. Potential beauty and atmosphere is off the scale. Thank you for what you are doing for the world.

What a wonderful new project😊

Thank you so much for this video! What an inspiration.

Fantastic

Wow... Wow... Wow!!! So many thoughts, questions and emotions seeing this. First, it's stunning; absolutely stunning! It would be such a treat if you could bring the couple who sold you the farm back to see their old worn out farm now! I'm sure they would be sooo happy to see how it's been brought back to life and is flourishing beyond anything they could've imagined. I can't wait to see the impact on the bird, amphibian, insect and other species and numbers in the area has and will be over time. With so much flora biodiversity introduced in such a concentrated fashion, I imagine there will also be a huge influx of new fauna drawn to the garden and the entire area. I can't help wondering/worrying about how so many shallow rooted, delicate plants could possibly survive the brutal winters there in Sweden at that latitude, but I know you do your research so I'm sure you've thought of everything around all of that. The removal of all dirt/nutrients from the roots being one of those factors that seemed totally counter intuitive to me, but it sounds like in the end that very thing will end up greatly increasing the chances the plants do survive and thrive there. Can't wait to how the garden develops over time. I've always admired your commitment to learning from what happens in your life and on the farm, AND having the courage and discipline to better yourself and your farm by making sometimes very difficult changes that are informed by that learning. So inspiring to see the courage and creativity of your life choices. Much more time with your children, putting the farm to bed for a year, lots more traveling, doing more things just for the experience and joy of it regardless of whether it's "practical" or lucrative, and so much more. Happy for you and your family, and very inspired and motivated by all you've been doing to have the courage to live that way ourselves (my husband and me). Bravo!

Let me try to fill in a bit of the background knowledge (landscape designer). A sand garden is considered a more robust way of gardening to deal with changing climate. This holds true in both long dry periods or excessive rainfall. A sand garden creates a pretty harsh condition for plants, and not all 'common' plants can deal with it. But the ones who do survive are also very likely to survive a heatwave without anyone coming in to water them manually. Next to this, the sand does two other interesting things. In dry weather the sand forms a hard crust on top that is actually quite good at trapping the moisture in the soil to remain there. In really wet conditions the sand is able to quickly drain excessive water. The more wet your climate is, the more you'll need the sand for its draining properties to prevent rot in these species. When you'd like to know even more, google on Peter Korn and Olivier Filippi, both pioneers in this topic.

Thanks it is so Beautiful, after all that hard work.
