Primitive Technology: Planting Cassava and Yams

In this video I build a garden to grow Cassava and yams, two staple food crops. Cassava is a shrub that develops large edible roots. Yams are a climbing vine that produce large, edible underground bulbs and smaller aerial bulbs on their vines.
I had 5 huts, but the wattle and daub hut (from the first video uploaded on this channel nearly 2 years ago) became dilapidated. I abandoned it in favour of the other huts I built and neglected the roof. This let water in destroying a wall. Also, the sweet potato patch behind it had a tree fall across it destroying the fence. So I demolished them both to make one large garden.
After removing the fence I set a fire under the fallen tree to burn it in half rather than spend the effort of cutting it with stone tools. After burning almost all the way through, it rained. So I came back later and cut through the rest of the log with stone tools. I eventually broke the tree in half. Using smaller logs as levers I moved the tree out of the garden clearing the space for the garden.
I then collected wood and built a simple fence that was woven loosely together with vine. The fence needs only to discourage large animals from entering to prevent them causing damage. Most times pigs and wallabies don’t know that food is growing in the garden and won’t try and enter if they see no reason to. Or at least that worked for the sweet potatoes so we’ll see if it works this time.
For the yam and cassava planting material I travelled far down stream to the site of my old stone hut that I built over 10 years ago. It had a corbelled dome roof that was damaged when a tree fell on it during a cyclone and it came down a few months later. The thick walls however have stayed standing for about a decade though.
Yams and cassava grew wild at this site which is one of the reasons I built the stone hut there. These plants are not native to Australia but grow wild here after having escaped from people’s gardens (similar to how wild pigs live here now after escaping from farms). The planting material for the yams are the bulbs that grow on the vines. The planting material for cassava are simply 25 cm long pieces of stem.
On returning to the garden, a scrub turkey was seen digging in the mounds. Protected by law, this bird has lost its fear of humans and in this case I’ve semi-domesticated it. Originally it was attracted to soil I dug up for the worms it exposed. I started leaving a pot out with small sweet potatoes in it for it to eat and now it investigates any pottery I leave for food. Now it visits my projects and will only leave if bored or chased away. I suppose this is similar to how chickens were domesticated, in fact bush turkeys and chickens are related and will produce hybrid offspring.
Unfortunately, it has learned that the garden contains food. Originally, I was only going to plant yams but I saw the turkey digging them up and eating them. So, I planted cassava in the mounds so that the turkey would be discouraged by finding only wooden stems to peck at. I secretly planted the yams along the fence of the garden because the turkey only thinks the mounds contain yams. They can’t smell very well and only find food by sight and learned behavior.
I planted the cassava in mounds 1 meter apart by pushing them flat into the soil. I planted the yams at intervals along the fence so they could use it as a trellis. 32 cassava stems and 12 yams were planted. Then a storm began and watered the garden. In less than a week the cassava had sprouted shoots and began to grow. The yams will take longer as I planted them deeper.
Cassava produces the most calories per time and space of any plant apart from sugar cane and sugar beet. But it requires much less fertiliser and effort. A hectare of cassava produces enough calories in 2 days to sustain a person for 1 year. It takes a year to come to harvest but will stay in the ground for a year without becoming woody. The tubers are high in starch and are what tapioca is made from.
This variety is called sweet cassava (actually not bitter cassava, it doesn’t taste sweet but starchy instead) and it needs to be boiled for 20 minutes to get rid of some cyanide it contains. The bitter variety contains such high levels that it kills if eaten raw and requires more extensive treatment to eat. There isn’t much nutrition in cassava other than the large amount calories it contains so other food would be required to provide protein and nutrients.
After I harvest the cassava I planted I’ll try fermenting it (which adds nutrition), drying it and pounding it into flour to make flat bread. Cassava flour has the same energy content as wheat flour, stores well and tastes somewhat similar. Or I could just cook it and eat it straight from the garden. I’ll use the yams like potatoes when they’re ready.

Wow. To think that it only took 2 years of neglect for the wattle and daub hut to fall into such a state. And after the remaining walls were casually knocked over, you could barely tell anything was there. This gives me a newfound respect for the archaeologists who still manage to find ancient settlements of similar sorts of huts.

One thing I've noticed about Primitive Technology's editing is that he keeps a good rhythm going. He never stays focused on showing one scene for too long, giving usually a few seconds of focus on each subject or action he is demonstrating before moving on to the next. This is probably one of the main reason why its so easy to watch his video where absolutely no text or dialogue is given without losing interest or focus. This is also why I love this channel as he puts so much effort on and off the screen to ensure his content is always top notch.

[@alxuria]

in a lot of the earlier videos, he'd always show scenes for 3 actions, as in he'd hit something with a rock 3 times and cut to the next scene. the rhythm really does make for an interesting watch

[@rc3291]

And he doesn't repeat himself over and over in a video

[@EmdrGreg]

Spot on, H. Han. It's not just the content (which is always superb) but the format and editing. Whether he intended it or not, the no-language thing is absolutely brilliant, and the over-all editing can't be beat. I wouldn't be surprised if his day job involves the media in some way, or perhaps he's getting high quality help with the editing. Makes no difference; either way his product is of the highest quality. As a species we've grown too far away from the dirt. This guy awakens some of that magic.

There's something satisfying with watching someone with skill go about their craft in silence. It's like a peek into someone else's world. There's no commercials, No fake drama, no conversation with the audience, nothing to break away from the reality of the projects you set out to do. We see the challenges that present themselves along the way and the innovations you overcome them with. Its funny how our POV makes us even more invested in your success. On other shows there is definitely a bigger boundary between the host & audience. But on here we get to feel like we're along for the ride with you.

He considers this (DIY primitive stuff) a hobby. He doesn't really spend days and nights straight in the forest (maybe a whole day or a single night only).

[@goldaquax4369]

It really means something when it’s Christmas Day and I’m still rewatching your vids. Love the work, keep it up man

[@bigabau]

In the next webisode: Fried turkey with yams and cassava :p

[@Kridian01]

lol... yeah, too bad it's protected.

[@logoseven3365]

+Kridian01 He means fried CHICKEN and sweet potatoes.

[@SayjinLord]

Edu Bosh there is a saying in Australia: you put a scrub turkey and a rock in a pressure cooker and when the rock is soft, you eat the rock.

[@bigmikefamilyvalues3819]

[@BradGryphonn]

+Sayjinlord I thought that was for Bandicoots or Rock Wallabies? At least, that's how I used to stew my bandicoot.

[@gianbachofer7031]

The best is the silence

[@dirtydan179]

The best is the english

[@wkbassett]

the thunderstorm made me want to fall asleep

[@ExemplaryLigas]

Gian Bachofer yeah i agree, the city is too noisy

[@The_Bliz]

check out asoftmurmur.com it has both rain and thunder sounds you can blend together

[@SecretRedBeard]

Look, I feel stupid for just realizing this, but if you turn on the subtitles, theres actually a story to these videos.

[@canadianwaif]

Great filming and editing as well as wonderful content and explanations for everything he does. Thanks for all your work.

[@nickkeresey2777]

For the amount of work that goes into the videos is amazing

[@mmanfrin]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa hold on, where did that stone house come from? I don't remember a video on the building of that one.

[@ohashijun2161]

Mike Manfrin I saw every single video and dont remenber too

[@SR71mountainbike]

Mike Manfrin Glad I'm not the only one. I decided to scroll down to see if anyone knew anything.

[@fireheatart4039]

Importa Sem medo oh ok thamks

[@trinhkets]

He built it 10 years ago. It was his first home until a tree fell on top of it. read the video description and you will see

[@nabiscus_1389]

trinhkets Is that why he's always murdering trees? Revenge for the stone house a tree destroyed?

[@baron8107]

This is the only content that deserves to be on the Trending list.

[@vladgina]

This might be the best video so far simply because the back story and information and clearing of the area. Extremely misleading with the title. A lovely treat for those who watch everything (personally, I find agriculture type videos to be less entertaining but I enjoy your stuff so much I watched it, glad I did).

[@MogofWar]

Demolishing the previous season's structures is a pretty baller way to do a recap.

[@Meerkatmatt2]

he has been going at this so long that his old buildings have literally become ruins in the jungle.

[@downtonviewer]

Some archeologist is going to come upon the ruins and think it was built centuries ago based on the building methods. LOL.

[@shutereye2634]

or be confused as hell

[@romanfox5368]

It's a forest, not a jungle I think....

[@Magmafrost13]

+downtonviewer He's in Australia, our archaeologists can be pretty confident that those huts arent centuries old. As far as I know, Australian Aboriginals dont build stone huts.

[@downtonviewer]

A little sense of humor goes a long way. No offense intended, mate.

[@thehh5118]

That stone hut looks awesome!!! 10 years it survived... WOW! Amazing stuff dude. Keep it up!

[@GooseMcBruce]

and then Cyclone, if only he planted some bananas near it

[@craftypaper8351]

We should support his builds and his hard works

[@MousesSiringoringo]

I dont know why, but watching this channel is so refreshing

[@holycrapitsjesuz]

*Turns on subtitles* Sneaky bastard has been talking this whole time...

[@somedude3977]

[@romanfox5368]

HOLY CRAP!

[@iceshira]

up you go

[@TheKiff304]

giantsallstar dude thanks

[@Bralvis]

Holy frick. You're right!!! Anyone who reads this, it isn't a troll! It's true!

[@potatobaked1499]

I just realized I've spent maybe an hour and a half rewatching all of these videos. Great work.

[@jordanvanhek2498]

[@accordingtohonda4308]

One man is rebuilding Detroit. Let us watch, silently, his progress.

[@Izandaia]

I appreciate that you specified what type of lever that was. It tickled me for some reason.

[@Mohammadali95482]

These videos should be playing in all art schools and stuff

[@andrefilipe9042]

I put these videos on my English class

[@Unyt]

Khizer Baloch ikr

[@PsychoGaming805]

I get insanely excited when I see a new video from Primitive Technology. It is like a rare treat that I savor.

[@ImagineIfNot]

YaBoyPsycho true

[@Minsang1st]

For real man. When I see a new video from PT I make sure I'm watching it on a computer screen without blue light filter with earphones on and my room light off. Its like watching it on small phone/tablet screen with crappy speaker doesn't do it justice.

[@doppelminds1040]

Is the long forgoten simple and primitive way of life that we humans lived for thousands of years, it's on our genetic memory... that's why we love this videos but don't know why

[@robbertnguyen8177]

Bruh he hasn't uploaded in 2020

[@deryad8581]

[@user-zh2ys9gb4t]

I’m from Saudi Arabia and I always watch your videos I like it, I like you so much 🇸🇦

[@cdl1701]

You have got to be the hardest working dude on KZbin!

[@joeyandozzie101]

That beginning made me kinda sad.

[@y__h]

RIP Wattle and Daub Hut 😢 Sometimes ago - Now

[@offchance789]

Dave Null tiled roof hut with heated floor kicked its ass tho rip

[@keeperjean]

Same I've been following this channel since the first video and seeing that hut going down made me sad.

[@mynameishonour5965]

ikr, watching him build that ages ago, now its rubble. darn.

[@bee5120]

Nothing lasts forever.

[@Palatineoffacts]

finally something good on trending. no politics, no ads, no screaming and no viral garbage.

[@TheUrryx]

We use to have one guy in Russia who disabled commercials on TV for entire country. He was killed and still the killer is unknown.

[@ArmaDino22]

What was his name? Is he that dude from "Pole Chudes"?

[@WhiteManOnCampus]

I'm sure it must be annoying to have the turkeys trying to steal your yams, but I always find it adorable when animals don't fear people and come and go peacefully.

[@truphat2day]

I remember those houses. Last time I watched this channel there was only like 20 videos posted. Now I have to catch up. Amazing

[@marknakai4685]

the reason why your a legend is because you dont say anything

[@romanfox5368]

That's a real man right there.

[@krakeneggz]

Yes he does in the subtitle.

[@MrSamulai]

*You're Pretty please?

[@ResalePrimeDirectives]

Every time one of these videos comes out, it's like an event. I wish they'd give this guy his own show on Discovery or The History Channel.

[@ShacolateClown]

Pimp Master Broda no I rather not. now he does it because he loves it. and when he gets a contract he will be forced to say / do things he wont like

[@Asketez]

Pimp Master Broda That's the beauty of it, he doesn't need a tv network to mess up his style of video, he can just post it here

[@jaydenherrera4177]

Pimp Master Broda yeah like they did with that one guy who just recorded himself out in the woods surviving this would be so much more entertaining I think

[@matthewthekiwispearo9800]

Pimp Master Broda o yes a man ps when did he make that stone hut

[@VoltismProductions]

if he was on the history channel, they would make him loudly narrate the entire thing with a bunch of jump cuts and then start talking about ancient aliens halfway through

[@kenzarezyarifin1076]

The turkey: sorry i break the tree and fall to your garden

[@lsvtecb18c1]

Bravo someone who knows what they are doing how and WHEN, it comes to planting seed. Soooooo many people that consider themselves Gardner's or planters literally don't even know some the most simple parts of planting.

[@baronvonbeandip]

The thing I hate about these videos is that they end.

[@MassoodSama]

I had you until the rain.. How do I make it rain?

[@pocohoho7842]

Massood Sama Do ceremonial dances to please the rain gods.

[@yurka23]

Sræh Typhö he sacrificed the turkey at 0:49 to the turkey rain gods

[@FuckingGolems]

Sacrifice a human baby.

[@habernack2932]

Build one out of stone and mud.

[@nathanderusha3027]

Through money at it :)

[@aquamelon0087]

That is such a smart way to get rid of a giant log. I can’t wait to start a major forest fire when I try to do it

[@kartikmann_]

Of all his videos, this one contains the most action and backstory.

[@RaeSyngKane]

From dust to dust. RIP wattle and daub hut.

[@deserteagles948]

KeCS1 wasn't months, probably a couple of days...

[@jeremiahshine]

desert eagles I think he said 102. 61 work days due to weather.

[@jeremiahshine]

desert eagles You have to realize he made everything including tools, kilns, ropes, tiles, etc...literally from scratch.

[@deserteagles948]

Jeremiah Shine there wasn't any tiles for that but, but yeah... I didn't think about the weather...

Every time Primitive Technology uploads a new video it feels like i just found a million dollars! :P

[@pinpointaccuracy1]

o

[@Joebakon]

I clicked on this video expecting some tubers gettin ate and I got a look into the black mirror of past projects and decay of all things. It's filmed like the story of a village that fell to a great storm. Damn.

[@nousinosegoesfrogvlogdabyo5313]

some guy walking past these stuff would think "oh i found ancient ruins" but really you just made it

[@jarrettmosco9624]

Turn on captions

[@Unyt]

HumorVortex Mosco thx

[@swclikewhut]

HumorVortex Mosco wow, never knew he captioned his videos. Rewatched because of this comment.. Thanks!

[@ToxiicButtercup]

HumorVortex Mosco thank you!

[@MelancolicAlcoholic]

Thanks for the tip!

[@tdh920]

Oh looks like I gotta go back and watch all his other videos from the beginning

[@bagusutoyokertoprojo]

My God, the stone hut... Awesome...

[@ki183]

謝謝你，你另我很警驚喜，你的生活態度非常好，及你的付出很偉大，請你繼續，我支持你。

[@sejembalm]

This channel is amazing. 10.6 million subscribers watching a guy in gray-blue cargo shorts wordlessly demonstrate stone age crafts. Some videos have nearly a hundred million views (the Tiled Roof Hut has nearly 87 million views). Good editing, no real need for explanations or a background musical score. Impressive!
