MORE ABOUT ME
I'm Anne of All Trades. In NASHVILLE, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. Whether you've got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you've always wanted to do, everything is "figureoutable."
I became "Anne of All Trades" out of necessity. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break and build the things I need.
12 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.
My goal is to learn and share traditional techniques and skills while showing my peers how to get from where they are to where they want to go, how to do the things they are passionate about, and what can be done TODAY to engage their own community and grow deep roots.
Whether it's carving spoons, making my own hand tools, restoring my antique truck or growing heirloom tomatoes, the farm and workshop definitely keep me busy and support - whether financially through Patreon, through shopping my affiliate links, through buying merchandise, plans or project videos, or even just liking, commenting, and sharing my content with others helps me GREATLY to keep producing quality content to share.

I do old fart gardening. Right before the rain, I scatter seeds in the breeze off of my balcony. Wherever the seeds grow, that's where they grow.

[@OnceUponATexasGarden]

Love this idea! It’s survival of the fittest

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I like your style!

[@terryulmer969]

I was surprised how far the seeds actually spread out. We're on 10 acres. I do a little of different seeds on different days and times, and the wind changes, and the rain displaces some, so they all don't come up in the same place. I broke my leg a few weeks ago, so James is making some raised beds on legs for me. I can plant in them while sitting quite easily.

[@miss_mish]

This is ingenious

[@terryulmer969]

@miss_mish Thank you. I also spread out seeds in bare spots to help coverage and rake them in. I like to mimic nature as much as possible.

[@HillCountryGardenGirl]

You are hands down one of the best gardening teacher I’ve encountered on KZbin. You always seems to go into just the right amount of explaining why doing something (or not doing it) is valid. I’ve learned so much from you and thoroughly enjoy your content. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I’m so glad to hear it! Thanks for sticking around!

[@edgeofentropy3492]

Lazy gardening doesn't mean do nothing. There is this thing called LAND MANAGEMENT. You still have to manage and maintain your land. The land is just like children. If you don't pay attention to it and correct it, the land will get out of hand quick.

[@alexhuxley3355]

It's exactly what happens in the forest. No one turns the topsoil every year there, or pours lots of chemicals over the forest floor? Yet things grow fine, every year.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

That's why we spend time in the forest, studying how things work there, and try to mimic the function and even the design as much as possible in our gardens at home. There's an overstory and and understory, and everything works together for the greater good.

[@oftin_wong]

You'll not find a row of carrots growing in a forest though

[@AnneofAllTrades]

@@oftin_wong you’ll find tons of other taproot growing plants and many relatives of carrots though ;)

[@jenniferdruery8661]

If I kept gardening the way I used to back in the 90s, I would have quit long before now. I am too busy now to garden that way. Mulch, compost and such changed my life and made me “mostly- hands-off”. If you compare a tilled up garden to how we do it now-way different!!! It makes me think I’m “lazy” but I’m not. Love your videos!!!

[@tealkerberus748]

If you ever do need a herbicide for that invasive grass, boiling water is your friend. Just be extremely careful not to spill it on yourself - but that goes for any herbicide really.

[@kjersey8525]

Got my husband to watch your videos. He loves your approach! It's what we try to do here. I call it "killing the weeds" 'cause, we do not have grass. It's ALL weeds!! Bain of my existence! I have been carboarding/newpapering for YEARS and now, we're on a complete mission to cover the whole property! People think we're nuts!! Keep up the fantastic work gurl!

[@PrairieDawnC]

I plan to do the same, slowly. I have three dogs and my yard is compacted clay, weeds, and mud. One side yard was completed last year, it's entirely cardboard and wood chips and it looks awesome. Now I'm working on the backyard where the dogs go.

[@noniamaus]

We are also helping ourselves when we do this work. Not just by giving us food and beauty, but our physical and mental/emotional health, and our spiritual health can be improved via gardening. Trouble shooting, patience, and our ability to follow through with a task are improved. I am a brand new (first year) gardener, older, and have a disability. However, gardening has shown me and others that I am still able to do so much...I just need the help of others from time to time. That is not a bad lesson to learn, either. We all need a little help now and then. We can all give a little help now and then, too. Thanks, Annie, for helping keep some of the old ways alive! There is something to be said for the sense of community that gardening/shared interests bring. And the empowerment of learning to create things, rather than purchase them is fabulous!

[@meljordan220]

This is so helpful. It shows how much one person can do even if they're super busy. It's not cutting corners and it's not cutting steps out but it's creating an environment where everything can thrive with minimal interference from a human... Gee that sounds familiar... Like nature!❤

[@cynthiaroswick1621]

I'm praying for you your family neighbors and all the animals and properties if you are in the path of these strong tornadoes. I pray God keeps you safe.

[@PrairieDawnC]

​@AnneofAllTrades I'm a new subscriber. My brain wants to do all the things, but my body doesn't cooperate, so I've taken baby steps towards homesteading in the suburbs. I grow in containers close to the house. I don't mow the backyard very often. I'm starting a tiny lazy garden this year. If I can keep up with it, It'll grow in size next year. My municipality doesn't allow livestock, so veggies it is. My disease demands that I move my body and feed it well. Gardening is one way I do that. I look forward to watching your videos so I may learn about your ideas on gardening efficiently.

[@chrisbrownlov1]

Id love to see a video that tackles this. I'm not disabled.. But i do have arthritis, i try to stay active and healthy and gardening is one way​ but i often see and heart of these conditions progress, if like to be proactive on incorporating stuff to make gardening possible for disabilities. @@AnneofAllTrades

[@jessicaleighdargaclark4536]

I LOVE MY WEEDS! They're so delicious and nurtritious, and medicinal! (at least for many of them) Lazy Gardening isn't quite an oxymoron, but a lazy gardener is still a hard worker. Cheers!

[@lyamainu]

I’m so happy I found your channel! I’ve been interested in gardening for years, but I have intermittent health problems that have me stuck in bed for weeks at a time, so I can’t keep up with things. This seems like a perfect system for me- I can do all the work while I’m healthy, and not have to worry about it when I’m not.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Having a serious health crisis of my own that manifested in very similar ways a while back is what led to much of this mindset for me too. Do what you can when you feel up to it, and don't beat yourself up for the balls that get dropped when you don't.

[@BootsandBountyHomestead]

I'm "lazy gardening" this year....got too much to do elsewhere while it grows 🤣 this is my second year at this property. Ready for it to maintain itself! Lol

[@elsabrown3246]

Anne, I am grateful to have found you and your videos. Despite the struggles you have faced and may continue to face, as this is our journey of life, you are an amazing individual who is genuine, and lovely. I am a special education teacher at the high school level in rural Maine and have twin girls who still can not read, spell or write. I have shared some of your videos , to reinforce that just because we have challenges, that does not dictate who we are to become. I will be retiring in June, and have many projects gardens, home, artwork and on and on. I too have many directions and love the variety in my life. I also have many animals, chickens, ducks, hens , cats and dogs and at least 20 or more roosters. I used to have goats and sheep as well. I also tend to garden in wild ways, so your suggestions are exactly the confirmation I have needed. Love to you my dear, I am proud of your accomplishments , spirit and creativity. Never let anyone on social media, diminish your light. You are a gift and inspiration for many. I have struggled with my own personal baggage for many years and know that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for your guidance.

[@tatepishepard]

You're so awesome Anne! Who thinks otherwise must be a troll. Don't feed them. They probably never planted a single plant.

[@topaz3468]

Your advice is so spot on! I'm in a subtropical area in the US and I have to reapply cardboard every two years bc it breaks down/composts so fast in the heat and rain. When I retired, I purchased an older home that didn't have anything living in the soil...no trees, shrubs... absolutely nothing but sand. Five years in, I'm just now seeing the results of creating an underground ecosystem for my plants. I have fruiting shrubs and trees, and lots of bees and butterflies buzzing everywhere. Thanks for your honesty, as I'm not sure there is any such thing as a lazy gardener. LOL

I’m a desk jockey with a small community garden in hot and muggy northern Virginia. Similar to Tennessee. My asthma has gotten worse in the past few years which makes my hot summer gardening hard. It takes me longer and I get less done. So inspired by Anne of All Trades, I kicked butt on the cool spring mulching. Heavy mulch. I’ve never tilled but have close neighbors that let their weeds go. Fingers crossed that my weeds under control this year! Thanks, Anne.

I’m a lazy gardener! It was a lot of work getting my garden ready, but now.... I’m kind of board. I just walk through my garden everyday to put my eyes on everything and I’m watching it grow. I haven’t watered at all with the exception of watering some transplants because heat was high and rain was a week out. But, it wasn’t much and honestly, I mainly watered the mulch.... so I’m not sure it did much.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Love that!

[@cynthiamartinez5884]

Last year I felt like I spent so much time weeding and watering. I spent a lot of time late winter and spring laying out mulch and setting up drip irrigation. I'm looking forward to not needing to spend so much time in the garden when we are in the 90s and 100s.

Lazy Gardening - Smart Gardening - Efficient Gardening. Either way I like the Less Weeding outcome.

[@AaricHale]

I really enjoyed the video! After years of mulching I found it doesn't matter if you put it on a couple of feet thick you're still going to get weeds. Heck I think I would be more worried if they didn't come up lol. I found that a stirrup hoe works pretty fast getting rid of them. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!

[@canorth]

I had heavy Bermuda grass and found that cardboard and the thickest mulch seemed to make it happy and/or vengeful. I ended up having to prep future beds with a silage tarp.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

After a 3 year battle with mine, it's finally mostly gone, but I put down some construction tarps around the outer edges of the garden (not actually on purpose, I just had a bunch of construction materials stacked there for a long time) at one point and that really helped too.

[@jaketallorlin223]

I have a 20x40 garden. I rototilled it to start and did alot of shoveling to make raised rows. Its half raised rows and half walkways i covered in cardboard. No wood chips on the walkways. I replace the cardboard every 3 years. But i also dump a ton of leaves into the garden in the fall which helps with weed suppression. For my beds, I use cut grass as mulch. I spend very little time weeding. I do spend quite a bit of time raking and moving grass though. 😊

[@T-Mo_]

Yeah I think cardboard for paths and grass for the garden mulch is the best way. Free. Also the grass feeds the beds to some degree.

[@melissaoleary8196]

I just adore this channel. A kindred spirit you are. Inspiring, educational, funny. You got it all! 🍀

[@Gkrissy]

I collect so many boxes for the same reason. Yup being in the south, I realized that I needed extra cardboard and extra layers of woodchips because of the humidity which causes decomposition process to happen quickly. I use weed wackers as well. I am with you on diversify and I am of the motto of plant resilience. Whatever fails, its okay, time to do another round.

[@sarasynfox]

I haven't started my garden yet, for many reasons, but let me tell you, "on the way, in the way" was life changing for me. My whole house is starting to operate in this way, and it means I actually get things done. It saves me the 15th time of getting sidetracked for the day. Also, it essentially IS lazy gardening, not because it doesn't mean working hard, but it makes it so much easier to work hard by removing all the extra steps. It's the extra steps (in my experience) that most frequently causes people to fail, not their inability to do the thing to begin with. It's forgetting to water your plants, or slacking with the weeding until it becomes a problem. Then when you get overwhelmed it can make it that much harder to fix. By making things as easy as possible, it makes it that much more likely to get done. Remove the extra effort and it makes the hard work that much easier to tackle!

I'm tolerant of a reasonable level of weeds, as long as my crops grow well. I'm no good at talking to people, and nobody here in my part of rural Germany uses any gardening services so begging woodchips probably would not work anyway.

I chip tree lucerne. The leaves are high in protein, and feeds N to the garden. The wood chips from the branches break down easily. 5% humus in the top 300mm of soil will store 80 litres of rainfall per square metre before reaching saturation and leaching to subsoil.

[@johndoh5182]

Do you want to be lazier? When you use that sifter, which is something I also do without ever seeing this in a book or video (90s), put on some cheap leather gardening gloves, that cheap course leather that's pretty thick, and use your hands to push into the stuff you're sifting and that process will go a lot faster and it's CERTAINLY easier and more effective than shaking one of those things back and forth. I made one that's 4' x 3' so I can dump a lot of stuff in it, and it's sitting over a deep wheelbarrow and I can go through a LOT of material very quickly. Shaking one of those things leaves too much stuff behind that would be good to go into the ground or whatever you're using it for, in most cases. If you want to be more careful about what goes through, then use your hands to move through the material. If you want to get most everything through that sifter, then push down and rub and it goes through fast. I feel a shoulder getting sore watching a person shake those things.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Agree. It's not lazy gardening. Once my no dig beds were setup, it only takes 2 hrs or less per day to take care of the 50 (2-1/2' x 50') garden beds. No motorized equipment needed after initial setup.😊

When I was working full time I would make a daily list of things I needed to do for that day and the next. Some items on the list were small or low priority items. If I didn't take care of these items they would accumulate and would require a larger effort later. In a way I was creating time or maybe finding it.

Writing things down makes them real and rememberable. I try to not get too overzealous with my to-do lists though, so they don't become "didn't do" lists later.
