Welcome to our Foodforest! We share practical homesteading tips, featuring growing, cooking and DIY tutorials. We have converted our backyard into a productive urban farm, and we've never looked back. We intermingle fruit trees, veggies, and companion flowers in many layers to create a food jungle.
► Growing epic fruit & vegetables shouldn't cost you a lot of money, or cost the earth. We garden using perrmaculture principles and are big believers in using recycled, salvaged and sustainable materials.
► We are obsessed with unusual edibles that are far more productive than your 'standard' fruit & veg, so prepare to be dazzled!
► We love eating as much as we love growing. We share our favourite recipes, meals, baked creations and ferments to celebrate back to basics cooking using your home-grown produce.

I live near the Gold Coast boarding NSW. Where can I buy some seedlings? Cand we buy from you?
make jam ?
Last year I had heaps of blueberries, this year I’m still waiting for blueberries, checked my PH, it’s high. 😢 Off to Bunnings now. And thanks for your advice, and thanks for being from Australia.
We only have Chilean guava in Auckland, I've bought a small plant yesterday and planning to keep it in pot
I can walk a km in any direction and pick thousands they're free
I learned something, thankyou! I had assumed they were South African, but no. They are related to the deadly nightshade.
Nice video but the music is way to loud.
I think the smell for the comfrey tea is not a fertilizer smell or musky, frankly it stinks, it really stinks😂😂. But that stuff is awesome for your plants, as you said liquid gold for your plants.
Thank u for sharing this info! I can’t wait to try making things!
Great video. Thank you for sharing it with us! 🤗💛🤗
Great video. This is the most comprehensive walking onion video that I’ve found. Just excellent. Thank you.
Can anyone tell me where to get Comfrey seeds or root stock?.
What an informative video. Thank you. I live in Melbourne too and am thinking about buying one.
Hi there I have just started watching your video which are great by the way but I just want to know if you have or do cooking video and preserving videos thanks Heath from east Gippsland Victoria Australia
In India we call it Shehtoot 😋🤤
How long does it take to bear fruits for the pluots? What does it tastes like? Is it sour? Thanks for showing your trees.
Thanks!
Great teacher! Chayote is unusual and you made it very clear Thanx
Just bought 2 seedlings today. Hopping to eat these yummy guavas in less than 2 years. They grow very well here in kenya
Thanks for taking the time to do this video and take time out of your day.
I need a white plant chayote do you sell?
Precious kids!! I am having a bumper crop of ground cherries this harvest season.
❤ This is the best cucamelon video I've seen. Thanks for the well rounded education on cucamelon growing and harvesting. 😊
Thank you, best video I've seen on how to grow choko's. I'm about to put mine in a small pot, hopefully it goes as good as yours. Again, thank you.
Hi, does it prevent pests like aphids and slugs etc?
When do you add salt ?
Beautiful kitty!!!🐈⬛
Are there different varieties of strawberries guavas., your guavas fruit seem bigger than what I have found
Mine is fruiting for the 1st time and it's loaded with fruits. Not sure when it'll turn ripe though 😂
Perfect.
Should put cement along the fence line instead of just dirt. Not on the bottom, just a long the side, to prevent the roots growing under the fence
It shoots out on your kitchen bench if you leave it there or forget to cook it on time lol, It's really cute. I believe it's one of the healthiest vegies. If it can grow a tall plant out of the fruit all on its own. It must have all the minerals etc. that the soil has. One climbed up my kitchen window all the way to the ceiling.
Can you please also make a video of how to taking care and how to prune lemon guava ? thank you for your nice videos
Hi Jian, love yr videos thank you ❤
This woman really loves her vegepods lol
It’s fine in a cooler climate. In our big operation it’s just waaay too slow. We are in Queensland.
This is so nicely shot.
Thank you!
Hi there Where did you get your walking onions from ? I have been searching for so long !
❤mine are about to flower soon .Though it flowered last year but never got to fruition . Can't wait for these beautiful fruits on my tree 😅😅😅.
Oops I don’t think I need two plants might be to much fruit 😅
I have a poor mulberry tree
Hi there, I’m having trouble germinating my cucamelon… I’ve tried using the wet towel and incubation box with little success. I was able to transfer one but it didn’t survive… all done in door… Any suggestions??
I had no problem with noise, it's lovely to hear the kiddoes playing in the background, and who cares about cars, not much you can do about that. Fabulous video!!!!!! Thank you Jian. 😊
Wow I am very impressed with the information provided, so much more than allot of other RUclips channels.
Absolutely love your videos, so good to see you Jian. Most charming presenter and so much amazing and helpful information. Thank you so much. 🫐🍎🍓🥝
Love the butterfly fly by
Thank you for a great and very timely video. I’m just wondering where you bought your weaved geotexile weed barrier from?

Thanks for all the great information!! What are those stakes you use to label your plants?
