Sold our pretty home near the city and bought a 150 yr old dairy farm with a massive mink barn with our 5 “life-learning” kids. We had no idea what we were going to do! 3 years in and we’ve cleaned up piles and piles of garbage, grown about 3/4 acre gardens, got 2 milk cows, have 19 sheep, rabbits, pigs and chickens. We’ve all worked extremely hard but have enjoyed every moment. Made $450 selling only garlic. Hope to sell more soon.

I have slightly less than 2 acres and I just started my food Forest a couple years ago videos like this inspire me.

Great video Geoff and thanks Rachel for sharing both your garden and advice . Please do more vids like this Geoff as they are really inspirational for the lay person. Thanks

So inspiring to see how productive this forest garden is. I live in the UK and have recently discovered Geoff’s channel (via the Weedy Gardener) and am hoping to convert my tiny garden into a miniature food forest. I may have to head north to have a wander through this beautiful forest! :) Thanks for this video and all your other videos too, Geoff :)

A stunning garden Rachel, it's a pity we didn't see even more of it! I'd love to create a perennial garden like this. Just waiting on my wife to agree!

I only plant things indigenous to the area. I realize people have changed that a great deal.

I do not. Most are native to the country though
@claraisely93973 ай бұрын
What is indigenous? That depends on what century you are referring to. Also our climate and growing conditions are constantly changing. Here in NH, USA my zone has changed from 3 to 4 with recent erratic fluctuations. Everything " native" is struggling. My forest garden contains kiwi, schizandra, Asian and European pears, apples, blueberries, host a and various groundcovers. Outside this small fenced area I try to let Nature run rampant. Nature is struggling with rapid temperature changes and Geoengineering. I say plant everything that can grow and adapt. Blessings🌏🌎🌍🙏

@@claraisely9397 ya, I say follow zones because when nothing native grows, the birds will go away and come back with non native seeds anyways. Also almost everyone grows tomatoes and potatoes and those are not native everywhere.
