Instant Garden In MINUTES!!

Chloe looking jazzed to take that radish.

[@breathoflifefarm7197]

So glad you made this video! It reminded me what I did a couple of years ago. I started a blackberry patch with bareroot plants on new ground FULL of bermudagrass. I cardboarded and mulched the whole area and wanted to plant veggies in the wide open places between the blackberries. What I didn’t want to do was dig down into the bermudagrass and give it sunlight. So I set out canning jar boxes, filled them with potting soil, and planted yellow squash in them. Those teeny boxes grew huge squash plants. I had enough for home and also took squashes, baby squashes for salad sides to sell at our farmers market tent. I think I’ll do that again with Amazon boxes.

I love seeing your verdant landscape. Couldn’t help laughing when your dog took the radish!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Chris Jay that dog eats a plenty of fat and a dozen eggs a day...and she’s still hungry!

[@pauleller7164]

Appreciate the common sense you use, and your methods. God Bless

[@judya.shroads8245]

I love it. Getting older now and things are just a little harder to do. My mind says one thing, but my body says no. This easy garden will be so easy for me to construct. Thank you. BLESSINGS

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

As a Brit, I have to say I love your accent! Love your videos too, I always learn something! I love the no dig method, makes my garden so much more manageable.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I love your accent also! I’m glad to know that what we do is helping others.

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

@@PermaPasturesFarm21 thanks so much it’s so important during theses times. As they say you have to break the wheel to leave the rat race. 😊

[@sondrabradley8040]

Haha love his accent. We love yours!😊

I just watched this video for the second time. We had a good heavy rain today so I decided I was going to give this method a try in spaces between my trees in my new dwarf fruit orchard. I have only planted acorn squash. Wish me luck. I love how you an Michele showed step by step.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I’m sooo glad this stuff helps! Let me know how it turns out.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Thank you for this tips! Someday I want to have a permaculture garden!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Small Garden Quest thanks for watching. With this method you can start today!

[@jamieszuba1758]

I'm moving to ky soon. I can't wait to start my permanent journey.

[@ladyryan902]

Nice to see beginnings

[@joanneoverstreet72]

Thank you. Excellent video! 😊🌱💚🌻🐝

[@beverly5249]

4:05 I really like whenever this piece of music is used in a video, too. I find myself relaxed yet also longing for something, lol.

[@mojavebohemian814]

It works. Thanks for the help.

[@denniscleveland669]

Seems simple. More details on the actual preparation of the planting would be an added plus.

[@veracampbell9583]

I’m a new subscriber. I came over after I saw you on Sow the Land. You have some wonderful information. I’m enjoying watching your videos. Thank y’all for sharing all your knowledge. God bless y’all.

[@mickigfellers1503]

Love your channel! I've tried lasagna gardening and man that was the most beautiful soil. Black gold. We have a lot of red clay here in East Tennessee.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Micki Gfellers we have a lot of red clay here also… but somehow there isn’t much on this particular property.Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@Happy2Run4Me]

I have a large plot of land…all sand. Maybe this will help.☺️It’s worth a shot!

[@homesteadaquarius]

That works great Billy. I will probably do some of that this season. I have seen it but never done it.

[@permatopiafarm1119]

LOL...Chloe ran off with radish...that's epic and cute...that tells me your food is good. Can I use very old hay that has been sitting in the pole barn for who knows how long. We have a HUGE pile of old hay that comes with the farm when we bought it. Didn't have good communication with the seller so we don't know how long that pile has been there but I can see the pile already decompost and form a dark brown/black dirt looking. It has weeds/grass growing in it or maybe that's the weed from the hay...which leads me to the next question, if I use that old hay, would the seed from hay start growing in the garden? Thank you.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

If you use hay it’s always best to first let your chickens work it over to remove seeds. Another concern with that hay might be what was previously sprayed on it. I would probably take some in a small patch as a test before I tried it on a larger scale.

[@JustinBackstrom]

Are you planting right into the ground under the cardboard like you with your trees? Or should we do that only if we put the mulch down first?

[@denniscleveland669]

So did you go thru the cardboard with the plant, or do you just open a hole so the roots can get to turf underneath?

[@colbycampbell4206]

Hey guys, would you do anything different if planting over Bermuda grass?

[@gwackamoley]

Nice set up. How high do you pile the compost? And do you compost on top of the straw later as the plants grow?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Julie Ankeny You don’t even really need to put down a layer of compost. We did it mostly because we have so much of it and to hold down the cardboard. In Geoff Lawton’s system, he only pokes a hole in the cardboard and fills the cylinder where the seedling is with compost. It isn’t necessary to go back and cover it with more soil… but we probably will because we have so much to spare.

[@gwackamoley]

Perma-Pastures Farm nice! I envy that system. I don’t plant in my ground because i don’t like feeding the gophers (and i want to keep my back and my knees!) Everything is raised beds.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Julie Ankeny that is our preferred method as well.

[@QuiChiYang2]

Do you have a vermicompost system? If you do, can you demo. Th🤝nks for all the gr8 content you put out. I appreciate it 🙏 😌 💯

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Not yet my friend!

[@kittyhaecker]

Do you poke the hole through the straw and the cardboard too?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Kathy Haecker Thanks for asking because I did a lousy job of explaining that part. You want to make something of a cylinder through the straw, cut a slit through the bottom of the cardboard, fill the cylinder with soil, plant your seedling and replace the straw.

[@lonestarcj8132]

How do you keep track of what you have planted where?

[@TheMeandaddyking]

Looks nice

[@Jerry-yk1fh]

Chickens! Born to Scratch!

[@LivingQuiteSimply]

Wow, this video is amazing! We’ve done the cardboard, compost, hay method before with great success, but hadn’t heard the names or why it works. Thanks for that! We were actually just advising a friend to try this method to get a garden in quickly, so we’re going to pass this video along. Did your meat birds end up eating those two snakes you put in the compost a few videos back?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Living Quite Simply thanks for watching and passing it along! In these crazy times, all of us in this space should probably evangelize easy food production methods to those just starting out. Concerning the meat birds, they picked those snakes clean in just hours. I’ve never seen anything like it! In fact, they are performing in that chicken tractor on steroids system better than I could have possibly imagined! My next video will be an update on them.

[@LivingQuiteSimply]

@@PermaPasturesFarm21 You make a good point. Having a garden is essential right now, and it those of us who have the know-how should be sharing knowledge with those around us.

[@LivingQuiteSimply]

Thanks for the update on those snakes. I was really left wondering about that. That's such a good point you make about sharing these easy food production methods. We certainly have a duty to share what we know.

[@NagashiChidorii]

Any updates on this instant garden??? I cant find it on your video list

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I’m not sure we did an update on this video.

[@sondrabradley8040]

How are you keeping the wild animals out of your garden?

[@kimberlyhughes4515]

Too much compost?? I didn't think there WAS such a thing!😊

80? My Grandmother needed help with the tilling and [plowing but she planted, tended, harvested and canned till she got cancer at 84. She told me nothing brings you closer to God than digging in His earth.

These used to be called “lazy beds”.

Fainites Barley I never heard it called that… but that name seems to suit this method well.Thank you for watching and responding!

[@fainitesbarley2245]

Perma Pastures Farm Crofters and farm labourers used to make them on poor land with seaweed and animal dung or whatever they had.
