This guy has no clue about these fruit. First, if it can not naturally produce fruit without bringing it in for the winter, it is not able to grow. Also notice he has them al. Enclosed so it isolates them from cold and rain that would rot the roots.

I will check back in here when I get some land to work with. For now, I am just day dreaming 👊🏻🌻👊🏻

So long as you live in a mild climate like Victoria, BC. Let’s be realistic. Having said that, I always enjoy seeing what the possibilities are in small spaces. Thank you.

where about in Victoria ? I live into area and can visit

Can bees polinate paw paws? Nlt just flies

The usual nonesense. Wassailing does not 'pre-date Christianity'. The earliest evidence for Wassailing the fruit trees is from Kent in the late 1500's. By that time Kent had been Christian for going on a 1000 years!

Where can I get Feijoa in BC? I seem to be able to find everything else in this video.

Avacados might like a spraying of c90 to encourage flowering and root growth. C90 worked awesome on my citrus fruit set.

paw paws are my favorite !

This is great information for gardening enthusiasts. But .. for the time, effort, and expense... I think I would just pay to have a box of the fruits delivered.

What state is your Medlar growing in?

Where can you buy them to plant and/or taste? How do the plants look when they are growing?

We are trying to build one of these but the cement/concrete falls right off the metal wire. Any tips?

Those would be rough to grow in Whatcom County based on your descriptions of them.

There are few examples of urban permaculture. Even fewer of this quality. Thank you for sharing

Ha, I watched your figs video almost 10 times. Very helpful.

I usually reccomend clients don't invest in raised bed sides. There are some cases like toxic soil but generally investing in actual good compost. for beds building up the ground with mulched pathways is more effective and a better use of space. A wheel barrow tire is only 4 inches wide, many people setup gardens in this way and use less than 50% of the area and make irrigation difficult.

Thank you for the informative video. I planted 40 bare root trees in Saanich last year. I am a bit concerned that I planted them a bit too deep especially because I am planning to cover my garden in wood chips, Back to Eden. All my root stocks are above the ground but not much like in your video, I think they may have settled down since planting. I am wondering if I should dig up the trees and plant them on the mounds or just keep holes around the trunk of the trees. The holes would need to be up to 8 in deep once I put the chips down.

You are awesome!! I just got told I was silly for wanting to do this in WA. I know it isn't easy, but thank you, clearly possible.

This looks really beautiful! How can we make greenhouses which are more economical. Probably it's a good topic for another video :)

Great video, thank you so very much!!!

Thank you ffor the amazing video. I want to move to Vancouver Island and do permacolture. Your video made me even more passionate about my project. Have you tried growing mangoes in the tunnels?

incredible. thank you

Saludos desde México. Me encanta el canal, el trabajo que hacen y todas las iniciativas que han presentado. Gracias, gracias, gracias.

Great video, thank you

Great video 👍🏼

I have looked all over for someone who has a tree so I could see what they looked like... Also glad to have a description of what they taste like.

Why the opposition to concrete?

Beautiful greenhouse, terrible soundtrack

Thank you for giving me hope! I dearly wish to grow avocados, olives, pomegranates, and citrus. Can you point me in the direction of seeds/cuttings/plants for me to get started?

I am trying most of the same things you are growing I’m in western Washington so far so good I wish you made more videos

Omg your home is gorgeous

too bad, that nobody from Hatchet & Seeds can be bothered, to answer all the questions... that's a thumbs down...

What a wonderful human. This was an amazing harvest to see as well as a very interesting woman to listen to! Thank you for sharing this.

Haha, I needed to watch to the end she did talk about the ground nut but didn’t talk about the latex

I noticed she had some ground nuts, wondering how she prepared them and if they actually like the taste as think they are worth the preparation to eat (peel and boil)

This is a terrific video. Something that's mentioned but perhaps not fully expressed is the economic value represented in the food raised for the family. At least one person has found that they gained less economic return selling what they raised than they achieved by raising what they ate ;)

how can we find out more information or resources on how to build our own protected growing tunnels like Bob has here? Some structures look like commercial greenhouse pre-fabs but where he has his olives, jujubes, persimmons... it looks DIY. I would love any direction to figure out how to do this myself, thanks !

HEY THERE! I just discovered your channel today. You guys do beautiful work and have so much knowledge. What a beautiful property this is thank you for sharing. I have a question about summer pruning. I live in southern Ontario, zone 5 roughly. I have a small urban backyard food forest myself. I have been watching some videos about summer pruning fruit trees and wanted to give it a try this year to help promote more fruit set next year and slow the vigor a bit. I wonder how late would you guess I can do a pruning. I would like to prune but don't want to injure my trees leading into fall / winter. Do you think I can still prune them back some now (September 8). My first frost date where I live is somewhere around early to mid October. Should I leave them (no summer prune). If I leave them alone then should I skip winter prune? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the tour. Beautiful job guys!

In permaculture there are no pests or weeds. Everything has its place and it is about adapting and working with nature rather than against it

Wow what a geat example. We are going to move to our first house soon an I am already planning the garden. This garden is probably the best onces I have seen and I have watched hundrets of gardening videos. Mulching, crossplanting, the use of the animals... and the williow chair!!!! Hopefully we can adapt some of these great ideas

what a beautiful spot. does Chris have a channel or any other video tours of his property. great video thanks for sharing.

amazing! please tell me how I can get rib of the squirrels - they're eating all of our fruit!

Really appreciate the aerial view.

We hear u!!!!!!!

I have watched this video like 3 times and every time I get more out of it :) does he have a KZbin channel or website?

Great ideas!!! thank you :)

The compost bin attached to the run is such a good idea, I may implement that. I am also in Victoria so I get the rat pressure. I've only had chickens for a few months so its possible the rats just havent discovered the chickens yet, but I have 1/2" hardware cloth around my entire 8'x16' run, and over the top, and 2 ft predator apron of hardware cloth and no rats yet. It was really tiring and expensive to install all that though, but i sleep soundly at night knowing the ladies are safe

The only mistake I see is no hardware cloth beneath the raised bed from the outset. I have learned the hard way that rabbits, voles, etc. love to burrow in raised beds. With such a permanent structure, it would be a shame to have to start over.

It's just so easy why can't everybody do it
