I've come to the conclusion that listening to your voice is the gardening version of the great Sir David Attenborough, so peaceful and relaxing 😌

[@t0mt0mt0m]

Especially with the birds chirping away in the background.

[@jesstandy7098]

That's a compliment for days....love it!

[@sesas4810]

Totally agree.

A new episode of Weedy Garden is like a gift on christmas morning

[@KateyHartree]

Absolutely ❤

Notes from Brazil: "Brazilian cherry" from the looks of it is what we call pitanga. Jatobá is a beautiful enormous forest tree which gives large pods with a green flour in them. We enjoy green pigeon peas cooked in rice with coconut milk That way you don´t need so many of them! No one cooks dried pigeon peas here- they are just too hard! But the chickens love them, of course. Three pigeon pea leaves in a glass of hot milk with honey is a popular cough remedy- and it is delicious! Dried cassava leaf meal is an excellent vitamin/mineral supplement. Just use a little of it when you use seasonings like cilantro. It actually tastes good!. Once dried it is no longer toxic. We love tithonia for chop and drop (and, dried, as chicken chow) Say hi to Geoff for me! (Marsha )

[@TheWeedyGarden]

thanks Marsha 👍

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Thank you Marsha! Florida 🇺🇸

[@AnitaLusty]

Wonderful information thanks 🙏

[@beelover2827]

In Indonesia we cook young cassava leaves with spices and coconut milk like a curry, or sometimes boil it and enjoy it with sambal (spicy chilli sauce)

[@Patricia-h8e4y]

In Zambia we pound the cassava leaves, boil for about 3 hours and add tomatoes, onions and a generous amount of palm oil. Best eaten with beef stew or chicken curry.

[@christophergraff6683]

Thank you for cultivating peace and sharing it with us all

At The beginning I thought that the prunning was too radical 😅 but all the trees did make it! Amazing

[@jacobfarmer6762]

I’m dizzy from your pure skill in living, videography, teaching, entertainment, so many things. I never turned notifications on before. I can’t thank you enough sir.

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Wow, thank you!

[@jacobfarmer6762]

@@TheWeedyGardenYou truly are a gift. Words cannot describe the significance of your beautiful works, education, and soul. Sir, you are incredible. Unfortunately I can not thank you enough. The only way I could thank you and Geoff is by applying all I can of the gift you have given us. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! One of the greatest of our time. The wealth you have created for the world is astonishing. I hope you continue to show us all you know and learn. Thank you.

Wonderful episode. You are a man of my own heart. Your food forest is progressing wonderfully. Hard work time , love and passion. Go hard Mate . I want a T shirt.

Thank you Weedy! Awesome stick insect 😍 didn’t know to keep the spear shaped leaves of bananas .. every day is a school day!

[@narelle4868]

The fruit salad. Yummo! That's what it's all about.

[@terriingrid]

Your garden is beautiful,thank you for sharing

[@earthmonkeySteve]

Another great top notch video mate, I'm dead jealous of your climate & what you have achieved so far, but as my food forest is establishing itself I have noticed it has also started to create its own micro-climate.

[@Ramthian-q8v]

👍👍👍

[@mano3867]

Dear weedy love your videos I really enjoy every day in my farm too

[@YardmanGardenArtstv]

A breath of fresh air, from the Weedy Garden. Always satisfying to see all the different adventures while gaining so much valuable and important information. It a blessing!

[@ivicasvilicic2325]

Every video you produce is fantastic !!!

[@prubroughton1864]

Comfrey is the gift that keeps giving even if you dig it up any tiny bit of root will regrow. First time I used comfrey leaves under potatoes I even had plants growing up from the cut leaves. I now dry it thoroughly before I use it uber tomatoes and potatoes etc. it also stores well dried to crispy. I have been using it for 40 years 😊😊😊

[@TheWeedyGarden]

I heard that eating comfrey or drinking comfrey tea will eventually ruin your liver so take care 🫵🏻

[@loribraten8297]

Never new of this until recently

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Thank you! Appreciate that knowledge!

[@Flippin_Crazy]

@@TheWeedyGarden😳thanks for that!

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Elle and I just filmed an episode all about Comfrey, so she will tell you. It has only recently been understood that Comfrey is not good for the liver. Therefore it is only to be used for external use.

[@cheezy1969]

Yay.! Weedy time

[@ogore9524]

For the bush turkeys, I think chicken wire would work better since the holes are smaller.

[@cosmicsquirrel7642]

I'm in the Granite Belt in the coldest part of it, on the mountains. Looking at the wonderful growth in the tropics makes me a bit green but i don't have a bush turkey causing me chaos. The Weedy Garden looks great mate! Permaculture is our best chance for a beautiful future.

[@danielbenettuce4544]

yaaayyyyy another video!!!

[@prakash2009surya]

Thank you! 😊 I'm glad your voice and presentation bring me a bit of peace and maybe even a laugh. I'll keep up the good vibes and add a dash of humor to keep those smiles coming (and maybe sneak in a little grammatical tree climbing too 🌳)!

[@fishinbob4]

U inspired my compost journey ❤

[@ascend9327]

Thankyou brother, your energy is so calming and really what this planet needs, reaching our full potential through good food good vibrations to all nations, love ya brother

[@denisebrady6858]

Weedy the most relaxing video I have watched for such a long time. Thank you Cheers Denise- Geebung Qld

[@jadeo5213]

It's so amazing to see where your garden is now compared to your very first video. The fruit salad looked delish!

[@francesrevo3692]

Watching this from Solomon Islands. Love watching your videos. They inspire me to appreciate the land and how we can get the most out of the natural environment we have and the tiny space we have in our back/front yard. I'm still in progress with composting. I already used the first compost on my tiny vegetable beds and flower pots. Now working on the second heap. Thanks to you Mr. Weedy .

[@ranaankush83]

Truly inspired by your work...started my own food forest in Himachal India... Calling it Attune ... Hope you visit us some day 😊

[@Patrick-ye3wn]

Great job Weedy. Looks like you need a few more understorey plants, also the Ingas can be pollarded similar to the Leucaenas as well.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

15:47 talking about comfrey leaves... one reason I love it so much in my food forest, and I make so many videos about it, is because of what you are talking about here. For anyone that wants a deeper dive on it, I fell in love with comfrey after reading a research paper on a chemical analysis of it's liquid tea manure (super easy fermented liquid fertilizer), which I will link in a comment below (in case youtube blocks it, which it sometimes does with external links).

[@alonmbk]

amazing video as always you can put solar LEDs near the dragon fruit and get better polanation ❤

[@lyndalmartin3581]

Beautiful crunchy sunflower seeds would be delicious on that too ☀️💚

[@StrumattixMusic]

So good man!! New to your channel and I’ve become hooked!!! Stay happy stay healthy stay humble ❤

[@Terri-n6w]

What about planting your bush turkey-vulnerable plants in a walk-in cage? Unless Bush turkeys can open doors, your produce would be safe. The cages are quite tall. You could even line them with welded wire to keep rats from digging into the area from under the ground. I use a walk-in chicken cage for my brassicas. It's 25 feet by 6 feet. Good luck!

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Too much extra material really 🙂

[@Terri-n6w]

@@TheWeedyGarden no more than a polytunnel.

[@K2blades2]

I love your weedy garden. I have one too. Only it is in MONTANA. It's harsh here. The winters are long and hard. I SURE ENJOY watching gardening in your area!!

[@BamBamMaori]

Watching this video has got me laughing with happiness bro, absolute magic David, I used to grow tomatoes and basil, some watermelons and lemons but not really much else, retired through injury now so have plenty time on my hands to start the food forest off, got some tomatoes basil couple lemon trees and just got 5 little Moringa trees yesterday for 10 bux, blardy bargain I reckon, aw yeah and two Banana plants my daughter planted last year. Watching your video has me writing down a list of trees and plants to add that I like eating too, loving it, it's brilliant. Have a great week bro😉

When it comes to protecting anything from critters that dig for a living, it's best to go a few feet into the ground. Electric fencing can also be quite discouraging to them.
