Today we visit a fantastic market garden in Scotland that is using a clever form of forest garden tree rows to split up the sections of their productive market garden for multiple benefits. We also touch on more about their stunning permaculture homestead, and the wider role perennial food crops play for their set up. A huge thanks to James and Rosa from Tap o' Noth Farm.

Nice vlog. Hopefully you can swing by this side of Scotland one day and film our little farm 😁 not much to show at the mo, but give it a couple of years

[@anniecochrane3359]

It warms my heart to see young people taking up this way of life, a counter to the headlong rush of environmental destruction happening everywhere. May you go well :)

[@helenp81]

I love Tap o Noth Farm and James and Rosa seem like such hard working lovely people, would love to visit one day 😊

Beautiful example of permaculture and forest garden. I love the principles of this type of gardening and how we work with the land not againts it. Is very beautiful to see. Thanks for sharing.

Mother nature always amazes me, at 5:43 those with white domes, although not perfectly round are amazing that they are made of many branches from different levels to create a such a dome! Great content of honoring the land to help you and others live a healthy life! The cottage is a great way to share that idea to others.

This has uplifted me so much. I am trying to have a permacultre kitchen garden no dig, hugel culture and lasagne garden annual/perrienel. Last season wasn't so great but good to know others struggled. My kitchen garden is getting there but it only in the early stages. These people are so lucky and have worked so hard to achieve well done and thanks for sharing there story. It will keep me going.

I was so excited to see a peek of James and Rosa in the preview video for this series... and this interview did not disappoint.

Just gorgeous. It's a bit of a shame that farms like this have to integrate a bed & breakfast or event aspect to their business, but what can you do? What a world we'd live in with hundreds and thousands of such farms and the young families who operate them filling our countrysides.

[@cameronmac338]

The establishment don't want us growing our own produce. They want us totally reliant on them. We can see the establishment does not speak for the people, their priorities would be food production and to wipe food poverty out in the U.K. That is not in the interest of the establishment. The covert destruction of our society is their main goal.

[@christopherhogg1221]

Here in San Marcos, Texas we have rocks for a yard. Been building raised beds and bringing in lots of dirt and compost! Seeing places like this make me long for dirt....❤️

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

Here in Austin, TX, there are people farther out from the center of town who envy our soil because we have the tiniest bit of topsoil, whereas they only have caliche -- mostly decomposing limestone. When I started gardening here, the most important thing was to enrich the soil. I collected dozens of bags of leaves neighbors threw away every fall, bought mulch and compost and gradually have some beds that plants will grow in. This year I hope to have a cutting garden.

[@melanieallen8980]

Inspiring!!!

Huw, just a quick note to thank you for sharing your passion and showing that you are not alone in your region. I live across the pond in north eastern Tennessee. It has been a struggle to find like minded folks in this area. As old as I am, it is becoming clear that I will have to bear the torch around here. God bless you in your endeavors.

[@umiluv]

Not alone! I’m in E TN near Athens, TN. Trying to do a mix of vegetable gardening and permaculture with the forest we have in our backyard. Doing the research now.

[@critical-thought]

@@umiluv Pleased to hear. In Greene cty we have lots of agriculture, but very little is regenerative or holistic (permaculture, no-dig, etc). Hope to visit Joel Salatin or Justin Rhodes this summer.

Inspiring farm😍. I love gardening since little and discover permaculture before its famous. I work in city, gardening in limited space, mostly fruit trees and perenial veggies. I live on tropics where everything abundant( including insect and pest😅). Permaculture in tropics is hard to find in YT, the literature also limited..

[@CosmicGorilla]

The trees look very established: how old were you when you planted them? Or did you modify a maturing environment? Either way, looks fantastic, glad to see you embracing permaculture. Once we realise that we need fewer human beings and a slower more balanced way of life, permaculture will become the new tech industry. I hope that your example inspires others…

[@TapoNothFarm]

Hi there - some of the native broadleaves were planted by the previous owners, perhaps three to five years before we arrived, there are some old trees (50 years old) and then we have been planting fruit trees/shrubs, hedges etc for the past ten years. We have had to landscape the tree plantings made by previous owners to work with our needs.

[@CosmicGorilla]

@@TapoNothFarm I love it - seriously - if only the whole of humanity worked with what was there rather than imposing its ego on a perfectly productive and balanced natural system. Well done and keep on keeping on.
