POLYCULTURE ABUNDANCE | Our LATEST MOVEABLE GOOSE HOUSE | REUSING an IBC TANK | MULCHING FRUIT TREES

In this weeks Vlog we are rolling out bales of straw to carry on mulching our syntropic food forest rows in the silvopasture system we have for our goats, geese and hens. We also take a look at how we have reused/recycled an old IBC tank and made it into a moveable goose house. We also visit the polytunnel in the market garden to have a quick look at our polyculture veg plantings, how we are using ground cover crops such as sweet potato and squash to suppress weeds while growing veg and how our self seeded veg is growing so abundantly.
About Tap o' Noth Food Forest Farm:
Hi, we're James and Rosa! Welcome to Tap o' Noth Farm, an 8 acre permaculture designed food forest 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, 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.
HEDGE + FURROW
Come and stay on the farm in our traditional shepherds hut, complete with pizza oven, wood fired outdoor bath and sauna, set amongst fields, trees and beside a beautiful pond.

Makes my day when you pop up on my screen. Great to see you all, especially Lilian chewing on her blauhilde bean amongst the plants , such a delight. Blauhilde climbing French beans are the best, I’ve been growing them for years, always a success. But I’ve never grown them in my polytunnel. Have you tried yard long beans? I grew them years ago now in the polytunnel and they were very prolific and amazing . Thankyou again for your interesting video.

[@TapoNothFarm]

Thanks so much for the lovely comment. No never tried yard beans, will look out for them. Best wishes to you!

All those sweet shots of Lillian. So cute. And those cankles. Adorable. And oh my, doesn't she look just like her daddy?! So happy to see regular content again from your idillic life. Love everything about your channel. And all the baby wearing... I just can't get enough. Makes me long for the days when my daughters were little. I need some grand babies to wear!

[@TapoNothFarm]

Thank you for your kind words! It’s lovely to know you enjoy our videos. I bet it will be wonderful to wander around with your grandkids. Best wishes from us all.

Love the IBC goose house - I'm needing some more accommodation for my muscovies for overnight before they are let out again in my swale food forests!! Great idea!!

[@TapoNothFarm]

Sounds good, I reckon it’s what we’ll use when we get some ducks, might end up being muscovies actually too! Thanks for watching.

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hello so very good to see you and your family today! You are doing a great job with the trees and fruit bushes. I love the idea of the agroforestry and the benefits to the long term farm site. I love the goose house and the blue door is great! I hope you will have more videos as you are able to make them. Thank you for this video take care peace and blessings

[@TapoNothFarm]

G'Day from Perth down under! great use of the IBC it would work in the winter here but I am sure your goose would be cooked in the summer! really enjoying your vlogs cheers Dave

[@TapoNothFarm]

Haha, yeah might turn into a solar oven. Thanks so much for watching!

[@ranmillridgepermaculture8206]

[@TapoNothFarm]

Thank you!

[@richardhawkins2248]

Love watching your videos. Our place has some serious predators however. LOL

[@billsmith9562]

Be carefully with Willow and Goats; if there is one thing that Goats love, its Willow.

[@TapoNothFarm]

👍

[@clarepattinson2852]

Rosa, how do you find the Artipoppe?! Xxxx

[@TapoNothFarm]

It’s great, I love it. I managed to get it second hand, which was still quite an investment but I use it every single day. It’s very soft and warm for the wee one and very comfy for me to wear. Xxx

[@hugelpook]

How did you get that big round bale to your forest?

[@TapoNothFarm]

Our friend brought them over on his tractor.

[@defipepe]

Do you guys leave the goose house outside?

[@TapoNothFarm]

Yep, it stays outside.
