Hi Mr. Weedy- have you heard of Tera Petra Soil? It was created by the tribes in the Amazon forest. It’s amazing stuff, groups of scientists have tested soils from all over the world and found that the Tera Petra soil was the most fertile soil on earth. It can be replicated too. It’s worth checking out. Happy garden!
I am a couple of months short of my 76th birthday and 7 months ago I started a brand new orchard and garden from a paddock of invasive kikuyu ( bought a giant bale of old hay and heaps of cardboard and newspaper to smother it)within 4 months I was supplying us with 90% of our veg be a couple of years of all our fruit but getting plenty of strawberries and will soon be picking raspberries. I have an artificial hip and soon to have another so just get out there like the weedy gardener and start growing best way to care for your physical and mental health😊😊😊
I’m in my 70s as well good on you for having the courage to do what you have done with your place. Just a suggestion. I have avoided having to have hip replacement by finding out the foods I am allergic to plus not eating sugar. It made all the difference you don’t have to put up with arthritis there is another way. God bless
Great video, I observed wild animals would more often choose and eat the avocado over most other fruit in my travels. Its just so nutrient rich, fatty and nourishing, the animals know whats up :P
Habanero's are like taking a bite out of hell .. lol :D .. best add some to a dish you don't mind being hot .. and enjoy that way .. rather than chomping on a whole one.
You are a natural storyteller 😁 I'm going to watch all your vids over and over. You're imparting not just knowledge but an understanding. I think being in a healthy relationship with our gardens is like being a good friend who listens more than talks .... gardeners should watch and observe a hundred fold more than touch. Blessings

I love growing pumpkins vertically. I have a small space so I need to take advantage of vertical spaces as much as possible. I also created cattle panel trellises for tomatoes and non climbing squash. I have small beds so I need to make sure everything is packed as reasonably as possible to maximize the space.
When I watch your Episode I heal 😪♥️, become reconnected again. wow keep on inspiring our hearts to love Nature and work hard for it🙏🌳your the best storyteller I never met😢🙏🌳
Hello.. I only discovered your channel last night, and am already enjoying your videos, thank you. I'm excited because they are so clear and informative and you're in the same area as we are so you're referring to the same plants and I can even hear some of my favourite frogs calling :) It's interesting about Wallaby's ringbarking Avos.. We don't lose many plants, but, amongst the fruit trees, avocados have been the ones to succumb.. I thought it was phytopthera or frost and didn't notice any ringbarking, but I know that the wallabies here love avos because we find fruit still hanging from the tree completely, and very neatly, skinned.. It makes me wonder what it is in avo skins that the wallabies crave. 🤔
I love growing sweet potatoes. I laid down a large vinyl tarp (an old billboard sign) as a weed barrier. On top I have rows of 18 wheeler truck tires .. 2 tires high. I use a Sawzall and cut both sidewalls out. In the bottom one I put a large chunk of oak tree about 8 in. thick .. then I put biochar, compost, and sifted soil (no rocks) and fill 1/2 way to the top. Next I take a smaller truck tire .. both sidewalls are cut out .. put in the middle of the top 18 wheeler tire .. and fill to the top. In the smaller top tire I plant 6 slips .. 5 around the inside and one in the middle. I use shredded leaves to lay on top of the dirt as a barrier to the sun so weeds don't grow. When harvest time comes .. I cut all the vines away and take the top smaller tire out .. and in the middle it's easy to gather the sweets by hand .. with a spading fork to sift the top soil. Tires are stable .. they don't break down easy .. but make great pots to grow things in. The large chunk of oak tree trunk acts like a sponge .. slowly releasing moisture to plants. It's another way to use the Hugelkultur method.
Thanks weedy for the info and a very enjoyable video. I have started my teenage grandchildren watching you. You give such wonderful information in a way that is exciting.
Weedy, I've been here on your channel since the very beginning. Not only are you a fantastic story teller, you're a very passionate human being. Sharing your garden and your knowledge of how nature works, is so inspiring. Keep it up mate. Fan from 🇨🇦
you're such a nice fella weedy, love your flicks. we are local to you and live a pretty similar life. We have lots of fruiting logs if you are barter guy. have a fantastic year, cam n Arlo.
Awesome view from the lower part by the not feed banana tree. Love how the children were getting hands on experience. Glad I found your video. Love the sound of nature in your area. We are supposed to have a big cicada hatch this year. Brings back memories of my childhood. Have a good day Weedy!
Hi Weedy Put a tiny bit of your carolyn reeper in your stir fry...changes the flavour and its delicious. Care full not to get it on your hand. Love you my friend❤
I see you made the same mistake l did with the hugel 🤪 This way we leave to many air ways and tunnels in place for rats and/or voles to do damage plus many plants get root burn because of these airpockets. I struggled growing everything but some fruit trees for the past 5 years on my big hugels and some 9 raised hugel beds, where as l grew in ground (even tilled areas) l always had good results. The proper way to build a hugel is in layers, wood and leaves filled in with manure and/or compost and keep layering like that till the last layer is the soil you dug up, then probably it be best to do a cheap cover crop to have everything settle and start breaking down, also, hugels are a thing for high rain areas, otherwise they actualy dry out your soil. After all the work and struggle l’ve had, l’ll never waste good firewood on that again, nature doesn’t bury stuff, it mulches on top and lets the micro organisms do the ”digging” 😉 Happy growing everyone 🌻🪴🌱🌾🌴🌳🌹
Hey Weedy. Love the vids and your beautiful space you’ve created. Just wondering how big is the plot your forest Is on? Can’t wait for more material. 😊

Great energy thank you for sharing this.
At time stamp 9:49 we are looking at psilocybin cubensis or a psychedelic mushroom.
OMG
You'd love those cubes at the end weedy good as gold mate
Three years! Fantastic. Your stories are always enjoyable, thankyou David.
Cow manure providing the spiritual fungi! Nice work hehehe

Great video, I observed wild animals would more often choose and eat the avocado over most other fruit in my travels. Its just so nutrient rich, fatty and nourishing, the animals know whats up :P
Weedy... it appears you have added so much knowledge to your head over the past few years that it has broken through your hat!😄
Ever so grateful to you as one of our golden teachers of permaculture ☺️🙏
Great stuff Weedy, as usual. Was that a gold top coming out of that cow manure under the tree. 🍄 🤣
Definitely a golden top haha
Yay! A new video, i was having weedy garden withdrawals 😂
Nice gold top. Hope you ate it!
Finally a new video by one of my favorite souls on YT 🙏
Thank you so much for inspiring and sharing!
Have a beautiful weekend Weedy ☀️☀️
Happy 2024 weedy. So excited to see what you have in store for us this year 😊
Dear Weedy - you don't need to eat a Habanero to get me to watch. I'm enthralled with the simple plants. Take care, Buddy!
That`s nice :-) but I am curious as heck.
Habanero's are like taking a bite out of hell .. lol :D .. best add some to a dish you don't mind being hot .. and enjoy that way .. rather than chomping on a whole one.

Nice to see you back, Weedy. Great idea for a series of videos, looking forward to watching them all.
Your voice is so soothing Weedy😊 Beautiful video full of creative edits👌🏼
Thank you so much 😁
Always love your content but especially these type of videos
The next six months will be these type of videos 😄
Weedy, as a fellow Reaper grower, some advice: wear gloves! And make sure to have milk/bread/oil near by in case it becomes a 5-alarm fire.
Ahh!!! Thanx for the HOT TIPS 😅
Great garden, great gardener

The avocado tree leaves get stripped every year by the little native possums here in Dandenong Ranges.
Thanks for that useful tip 👍
As always unreal man thankyou
Thank you so much weedy
Hi Weedy
Put a tiny bit of your carolyn reeper in your stir fry...changes the flavour and its delicious. Care full not to get it on your hand.
Love you my friend❤

How did you feel after cutting down that accacia. It was a good cause but a beautiful tree by the looks.. 😢
It will grow back before I know it!
🔝🔝🔝
Hey Weedy. Love the vids and your beautiful space you’ve created.
Just wondering how big is the plot your forest Is on?
Can’t wait for more material. 😊
50x50 meters
👍
Hey friend!
I love your pumpkin trellis you were standing under. But I think it swayed a little? Is int anchored enough to not break out of earth
Yeah sure it is 👍
Can I ask about how big is the Weedy Garden land? Meaning, the measurements of the space you have to create all this life
About 50m x 50m 🌻 Cheers Heather (Mrs Weedy)
@@heartheath thanks Mrs Weedy, nice reading from you 💖
Would you please tell us what is the area of your Weedy Garden?
50 x 50 m
Hi😊
Hi 😊
That was a psilicibe cubensis mushroom mate did you eat it?
I can`t remember
How big is your garden? Around 1 hectare?
50 m x 50 m
Hi Weedy do you specialize in doing cuttings? I need someone with expert advice
What do you need?
Just an odd question. Do you know if you can propagate croutons from leaf cuttings
No idea 🧐
Zero bandicoot digging !!!
Cubensis?
Yes
Was that a Psilocybe…. Weedy!!
Again like I said…I can’t remember 😳
I like sniffing good dirt aswell 😆
I think you shouldn't have to go out and buy any consumer items because everything is actually available at your home. This is better than anything.
