In this week's FARMVLOG: We're getting summer weather here in NE Scotland so we need to get the irrigation system set up in our market garden polytunnel to water the veg beds and seedlings. To do this we re-use an old IBC to hold water from our pond and feed it to the overhead sprinkler system.
We also look at why we are making changes to our fuel wood silvopasture system, swapping timber species for apples. We talk about why it is important and possible to make changes to your permaculture design, as we implement a new part of the overall agroforestry plantings of the farm.
We end the day getting the sheep ready to move off the farm as we have decided to sell our three shetland sheep. We create a laneway, stretching from the north to the south of the farm, to get the sheep easily into the trailer to take them to their new home.
About Tap o' Noth Farm:
Hi, we're James and Rosa! Welcome to Tap o' Noth Farm, a quarter acre Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) market garden and 8 acre permaculture designed forest garden farm/homestead in Aberdeenshire, NE Scotland. We practice home scale to small farm scale agroforestry and regenerative agriculture methods to produce organic fruit and vegetables, raise dairy goats for all our raw milk needs, Shetland sheep and geese to graze our silvopasture and coppice systems and laying hens, moved around in a Chickshaw, for an abundance of eggs.
Our videos aren't 'how to's' - more videos to give a glimpse into our lifestyle and hopefully inspire you to bring aspects of what you see into your own life.

If you're looking for even more content from James and Rosa then you can become a patron of Tap Farm. It takes James between 5-10 hrs to edit our vlogs, let alone the time it takes to film and farm at the same time! Your support will aid us greatly in producing our FARMVLOGS, enabling us to take the time needed to craft a beautiful film and to help fund the licences needed for the vlog soundtrack. We will list your name at the end of each vlog episode so everyone knows how brilliant you are! We will also keep you updated on our farm work/life by posting exclusive video content that is not available on KZbin such as FARMVLOG outtakes, behind the scenes footage, hints & tips and more in depth videos discussing the many permaculture systems to be found on the farm PLUS the odd photo from Rosa and James.
