heyy i'm in jersey and same zone. i got blasted with blue berry maggots this year. at least thats what i think they were. very easy to tell which berries were infected. small little hole on them. luckily i found Spinosad and started using that and so far i'm starting to get small hand fulls of non compromised berries. apparently i should have been spraying earlier so its good to know about! spinosad and bt really effective when you spray them earlier enough my kale was toast by this time last year. since the blue berry maggot comes from the soil i think i was wondering if the nets still help in that case. since spinosad worked and is so cheap i wont be bothering with nets yet but i also had damage from carpenter bees which results in a lot of tiny berries that werent fully pollinated. that the nets def would help with i guess. also since you always talk about utilizing space so much it would be cool to see you do a video on the bushel and berry varieties of berries. all are bred to do best in small planters or hanging pots. i've had success with them in this climate this is their secodn year in my possion and they have good fruit set. my space is extremely limited but i can hang these plants all over the place and above where the deer can reach and as close to the side of the house . worth exploring in the least!
So are the 'flowers' you recently incorporated considered 'Ground Cover'? Also, how do you get cabbage (and everything else for that matter!) to grow so LARGE when the bed is that densely planted? Additionally, I see that you do give your potatoes their own beds.
@jamesprigioni wow this looks amazing. I live on a mediterranean island , zone 10, i started last september .we have pur challenges here sometimes i just want to quit but then i see your videos and get inspired again . Thank you. May i know if you covered the ground with wood chips? And straw ?
I'm very impressed how my garden is growing this year. I've been fighting non hodgekins mantle cell lymphoma cancer for 17 years now and this year, I'm planting smarter. Time is precious. I've been watching you and Tuck and you are such inspiration. I wear my food forest shirt proudly! Thank you James❤
Hope you get well soon look up vitamin B17 and also look up the people who have reversed their diagnosis with a raw vegan diet there is so many things out there you can do even switch to hemp milk and hemp seeds in your smoothies etc
Dude, (ok, this is CRAZY!🤯), well done on successfully being in the war for SOOO long. Me: NHlymphoma stage 3 met'd to Mult Myoloma, year 28. Respect!🙌 I'm down to 6hrs a day of even minimal activity. James & Boss Tuck💕 have let me continue to garden like I did 30 years ago! Thanks guys! And best prayers to you, Jude!👍
James, your energy is unrivalled! All the best from the UK! You have single handedly got me into growing again this year and I can’t thank you enough my friend!
Same , started my raised bed garden last year in Uk after discovering this , and second year in have got myself an allotment and am really enjoying it.
The garden is as ridiculous, as unbelievable and as other-worldly as ever Mr. P. It's just 'wow look at me' everywhere you look. Hard to choose from all the awesome stuff. But the golden raspberries made me salivate... ❤Tuck is in heaven again...
LOVE your genuine and contagious joy when you're harvesting or even walking through your garden, whatever stage it is in. I can absolutely relate. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden and all the tips! 🧡 to Tuck
As a Landscape Architect, I love plants. James is an amazing guy.. I learn from James. as well as my family. We as a family watch over and over. We started feed our Miniature poodle a lot more fruits and vegetables. Thank you so much James.
Garden gnome at 9:05. You are the best gardener & your Food Forest seems too good to be true... Like a Wonderland😇 Love, all the way from Darjeeling, India
James, I think you might just live forever with this lifestyle. Haha! Have you heard of blue zones? There are a few places in the world where people tend to have above average health and live a long time. In a lot of those areas, you might see the 98 year old grandma in the garden with a garden hoe, getting to work. The consistent sunshine, movement and fresh produce are incredibly valuable. You also add in the social aspect if you are sharing produce, and visiting with friends and neighbors. As an addictions counselor, I give this addiction a 20/10. Would recommend.
I have been following James for many years. I have watched move from level to level as he continue to grow he himself continues to grow. I started watching him because first and foremost, the wood chips after watching Paul G. Back to Eden documentary. By no means a new way of gardening that Paul himself invented, instead a method that he was enlighted on that bought on revelation and shared his personal experience. Needless to say, Paul and James has so inspired me to grow, along with another RUclipsr, Larry Hall (now has passed on) Rain Gutter Grow System, all three of these guys he lit a fire and desire to never give up and grow your own. Every time I watch James, it's like, his garden his so bodacious, vivacious, and on green steroids, so strong and healthy. DO YALL SEE THE LEAVES ON THOSE CABBAGES? Trips me out everytime😆, furthermore good for compost and feeding those chickens. When he pulled back the leaves on the Purple Dragon Cabbage, kid you not, he and I both said at the same time "Beautiful". The color of his garden is like painting a picture. I have watched him build his beds and start to refine and define his space. I MUST ADMIT when I first started watching Food Forest, I thought this was a mess, how does he know where everything is at, walking all over stuff, stuff just everywhere😂and his dog walking on and licking all over the food, thats just me being a nut. But it's suppose to be a food forest and a forest does not have have everything in symmetrical order, OCD order, it's growing in its own harmony. I stuck with James, and watched him build his raised beds, and trellises and his love and excitement to grow food. The other day I did order his JP fertilizer waiting on my shipment in a few days, I considered it sowing a seed into his wealth of knowledge that he passes on. Thank you James for all you do, so grateful, 👍🏽👍🏽and hats off to you. Fellow New Jersian, Somerdale.
22:15 the gnome is at your armpit. ❤❤❤❤ Tuck, you and your garden! We rent our home, but that did not stop me from having a garden. Containers, containers and more containers plus a huge dirt mound for squash and eggplant and raised bed for green beans. Next year getting strawberries to grow.
I would love to see a garden plan of your food forest, maybe in the garden almanac planner or some other app. Or on paper. Because I see it from ground level but can’t imagine it from above. Cheers 👋
I watch you peal back those huge leaves and just keep thinking man I would love those leaves to make concreate stepping stones with them. Love how you teach James thanks so much. Hugs and snuggles to Tuck
The size and color of the cauliflower is phenomenal. I know you eat and gift to family and friends but do you can or freeze any of your harvest? You and Tuck ❤❤❤❤ are truly awesome.
Garden is looking gorgeous!!! The cauliflower absolutely stunning and I am now motivated to try some of your varieties. Always love seeing you and Tucky in the garden💞💕♥Another great video - thanks for sharing James.
What an amazing garden! I never miss your videos. If you haven't been in the Better Homes and Garden magazine, I really hope they see your channel and enter you in their magazine. Take care and keep up the great work and teaching.
Love your Food Forest is the stuff Dreams are made of! I am getting my first two raised beds in a couple days! I am so excited and have seedlings about ready to transplant into their new home. You have been a very enthusiastic model for getting into growing organic food crops. Can’t thank you enough and of course your boss Tuck! Blessings
I am so jazzed, watching your videos. Gets me excited watching my own Food Forest grow in zone 5 in Ontario Canada. Love❤Tuck. Oh, and a shout out to your camera person. Able to follow you with a steady camera and not make us dizzy watching

James, we love you and your garden, we love Tuck and your awesome camera man/woman..😊
I wish you would draw an overhead diagram of how you laid out your food forest. You go through it so fast it’s hard to tell how it’s arranged.
James, I would love to see a video about what you do with all of this food! I know you've said you give a lot of it away.
22;14 garden gnome in back ground. Thanks for the video
Love the cauliflower colors! 22:19 is where I first see the figure
Saw the gnome at 8:58. Love the food forest
17:59 hell yeah

James, I think you might just live forever with this lifestyle. Haha!

Gnome 9:05💕💕😍😍
Minute 9:00. In the jersey Wakefield cabbage bed is the gnome!!
What an incredible diversity of organic food! 22:01 is the gnome & 9:03
Time stamp 8:59 the garden gnome arrives! By the early jersey Wakefield
❤ Tuck is so interested. What a faithful friend.
22:15 the gnome is at your armpit. ❤❤❤❤ Tuck, you and your garden! We rent our home, but that did not stop me from having a garden. Containers, containers and more containers plus a huge dirt mound for squash and eggplant and raised bed for green beans. Next year getting strawberries to grow.
I would love to see a garden plan of your food forest, maybe in the garden almanac planner or some other app. Or on paper. Because I see it from ground level but can’t imagine it from above. Cheers 👋
There is nothing like getting to go through your own yard and graze. 😋 Can't beat it.
❤❤❤ for Tuck! Your videos have helped my 3 year old eat more veggies 😂 Thank you!!! And thank you Tuck. Also, so fun with the gnome idea 9:04 😉
Those 3 cauliflower together with the leaves hanging remind me of some of the homecoming mums from high school.
Mr. Gnome is at time marker 09:04! ❤❤❤ for Tuck!

Global kinds of crops and trees and flowers. They’re all amazing!!!

I watch you peal back those huge leaves and just keep thinking man I would love those leaves to make concreate stepping stones with them. Love how you teach James thanks so much. Hugs and snuggles to Tuck
Confusing the pests with stinky plants - herbs, alliums, flowers, etc. Always a good idea.
The size and color of the cauliflower is phenomenal. I know you eat and gift to family and friends but do you can or freeze any of your harvest? You and Tuck ❤❤❤❤ are truly awesome.
Garden Gnome at the 9 minute mark in the cabbage bed! Hearts for Tuck ♥♥
