This is an Australian love story between nature and a man, and a community of mates, and a lineage of permaculture ideas that came from our shared mother....nature. Blessed are the Gorillas!
I must have missed your comment Craig. It is a really nice one too. Thanks mate 🎥🦍🎬💙👍
😁 Yes blessed are the Gorilla's.... For they shall inherit the earth!
🌻🦋💖
And colonialist white privilege.
I was just going to say, this seems to be the story of a man that loves nature and his "place," and wants to make it his own vision for a sustainable planet. What he has done is a dream of mine, and I hope to replicate it some day. Cheers.
@2:30 “you are what you eat; if you don’t know what you eat, you don’t know what you are.”
I choked up with tears. How do we even begin to respect land, water, and sky if we don’t even respect ourselves enough to know who we are?!
ONE loves its neighbour, its enemies and GOD as much as ONE loves oneself!
"Who am I?" Is the most powerful spiritual question. Once a person realizes that they are not their thoughts, nor their body, but that divine consciousness which hears the thoughts and experiences the world through their body, it transforms everything.
“I thought this was the sound the sun made” - beautiful! ❤
The meek SHALL inherit the earth!
“I thought this was the sound the sun made”! The sound of the cicadas that I heard living in Cyprus with my military family. Now I am very disconnected from the the food supply living in Central London with post COVID Tinnitus, I tell myself that “this is the sound the earth makes, I am simply hearing the earth’s engine when I couldn’t hear it before”!
I moved into a basement rental flat a year ago with a 40’ x 5’ basement area which I have turned into a garden and I was surprised to hear all the compliments and people photographing my cats sunbathing 10’ below street level. Only have lemons, olives, tomatoes, and herbs at the moment but this has inspired me to educate myself and grow some pretty veggies.
I think I am grounding when walking barefoot on the concrete but have grounding mats on the cats and my bed just to be sure. “The Earthing Movie” is on utube if you haven’t learned the benefits of being barefoot yet? Namaste 🙏💜💐💜🙏
Someone to remind me to visit this channel after 5 years to be amazed with the progress.
That would be episode 67 aboutish 🎬🎃🦶🏼
I work as a restoration ecologist and I'm just beginning to open my eyes to realizing dreams like this. One of the more beautiful videos I've seen in a long time thanks for sharing mate :)
I like your username 👍😄 Thanx 4 the feedback 🙏🏻
Trust in Jesus Christ our Lord And Savior, AMEN
hope you lead a successful career and accomplish your dreams!
@dirt_hands That sounds wonderful! May I ask where you do that? I studied Environmental Science and later found Permaculture... but have yet to find work in this sphere.
Are you in Australia dirt_hands?
Great video! I started my orchard/food forest in 2017 here in Mid-Missouri. So far, there are about 50 fruit trees growing and I have fruiting bushes planted in between the trees. Seems like everything takes so long to mature, but I'm only 78 years; lots of time to enjoy.
78?
The gracious man plants the trees of which he will never be able to enjoy the fruits or the shade.
How does your forest grow?
THE GARDEN OF EDEN returning!
I was wondering how much energy I should put into such a project not being a young man, well you sir have inspired me to fully go for it and I thank you.
You and Geoff are such a cute couple!! Like Henry and Glenn forever!
I believe my part of heaven will be something like this. 🥰
Hi, I love to see other people in the world creating this food forest. I live in Puerto Rico and I'm creating my dream forest too, in these past weeks I planted more than a hundred of exotic and tropical fruit trees. For me this is the kind of life I want to live :)
That is the dream! I am so happy for you :) greetings from Malaysia
The meek SHALL inherit the earth!
Sir, you are a genius. The way you combine beautiful cinematography, theme matching music, very personal stories, clean earthy sound effects, and your general joy for life, it’s truly like nothing else. Brings tears to my eyes
You a cry baby mate? Ha ha. Just kidding Andrew. It touches me to know how you feel about my work. To be honest, I’m a cry baby too. Even I cry at my own videos! How wonderful is that??? Thanks for sharing brother 🙏🏻💚🎥🎬🦍😃
This is what I wanted to say but didn't have the words, just the feeling. ❤️
Staying calm with FAITH IN THE SUPREME OF ALL CREATION will NEVER FAIL ANY of HIS CREATIONS!
2:30 "You are what you eat - and if you don't know what you eat, you don't know who you are quite often..." Love, love, love...
We should have these in every town & city. We could at least have fruit trees on every block. So during famines or covid people will be fine.
My grandpa had several cherry trees, with more types of cherry branches grafted on top. Also apples with pears grafted on, and plums with many different types and colors of plum types on one tree. My favorite plum had one branch with big, white plums, egg shaped purple ones, small yellow ones and long, slim blue ones. It was supposed to be a joke but my grandpa loved to experiment with grafting.
I want to do that too.
This episode is especially delightful, i just find myself watching with open mouth and glowing eyes.

Cheers weedy from England thanks for the empty pots !!
Glad to see more and more people planting food forests.

He sounds so gentle that it easies my stress from my family and life
Dammm can’t see it now, working until midnight. But I am sure it’s gonna be a good video. Comment added now to help with the algorithm 👍🏻✌🏻🇨🇦
Ha! Was just about to do the same so I’ll do it here. These are the kind of “RUclipsr’s” that need and deserve community support. 🌲🌿🌱🌴🌾🌝🌻🌼🌏🌎🌏🌎
And may I add: 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Your friend Geoff has such a calming presence and soothing voice. " Yeah, sure I would love to" just touched my soul. Cheers from India.
I think the same 😊
This man needs a pond. Someone start a gofundme for him. He can grow rice in it and fish. Would also help keep his yard cooler durring the drought season.
THE MOST WHOLESOME VIDEO I'VE SEEN
Spot on mate. I've already watched it twice. I'm thankful you are who you are, and I am who I am.
I love your vids! Very inspirational, just picked up 10 acres here in the North west US..I had three years ago begun to create a food Forrest, it was comming along nicely and then the fires came, took all and left nothing. So now I will begin again. There is great healing and magicks in the soil. Thank you for this gift my beautiful friend..
that’s pretty damn shitty. at least you don’t need to put any more ash in the soil 😅
Fires destroyed our Northern California home too. Two times. But as I look out at the landscape I can’t help but realize that, for Mother Earth, destruction is a cleansing force.
@@levisnyder6585 oh. That’s powerful memories! We recently had a fire in the house. It is like meeting a dragon.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss of progress :( I do have some questions for you though since you have the experience. I recently acquired a property in Eastern Washington State that I plan to devote about 1.5 acres to a food forest. Currently the area is a meadow in a forest of Ponderosa Pine. I know to dig swales, but I don't know where to begin when it comes to what sorts of plants would manage the freezing winters and hot dry summers. I am from a subtropical clime that doesn't dry out too much in the summer. Any tips would be appreciated since I don't see too many permaculture youtubers creating content about our environment!
@@epicosity5588 Best bet to ask your locals what grows in the area.
Thank you for simplifying the process for me. We live in an HOA but there's no rule against putting in a swale and fruit guilds. In due time, Lord willing, we shall have a mini food forest!
You have a voice like Bob Ross, so calming and encouraging. Wonderful video!
I really can't describe how happy it made me just to watch this. It's hard to find people as wild as me fulfilling dreams like mine. But it happens!!
Very nice your soil looks so rich
Wonderful! Look how big and fruitful that papaya tree is now!
Yeah. It powered for sure. I had to strip it of fruit because I felt it was stressing it. Only a year old. Felt like a poor teenager with HUGE boobs, so I fed them to the worms (who totally loved them). Made so much green papaya and chilli salad that I looked like a papaya. The tree is now double the hight and looks more like a young lady now.
thats the dream i guess... to have a place that you nurture and that nurtures you. really lovely video
14:00 When I lived in far north queensland, I built canopies for all of my seedlings using browned palm fronds, which we had everywhere. I'd cut the thick stems at a sharp angle, sliding them into the soil in a circle around the young plant - looked like a big nest. The young plants would grow up through the fronds, which not only provided dappled shade, but also protection from the wind and animals, and a bit of scaffolding. Eventually, the fronds compost in place.
Good plan 👍
It sure helps to have a bunch of friends willing to give up their time & sweat for you. That must feel nice. Wouldn’t know.
Love your videos David 🦋👍
It was an exchange. They helped hin, David would need to give time to others. It was not free.
Have you ever asked?
@@TheMarkvq As I have, many times, with & without being asked.
@@TheWeedyGarden Depends who you mean by ‘the Askees’.
Small update: this was not a criticism by any means. I wish I had such a support network. Just a feeling of defeat, for a time. I’m back at the beginning.
I’m near Lismore with a strange arse suburban block & crap soil full of ants growing non-native or non-productive plants my Mum likes. But of course, at least we aren’t dealing with bombs in the front lawn so Yay!
That gorilla life is certainly aspirational. Love it. 🦍
How lucky are you to have the world’s top food forest teacher next door!
Yes. Nit quite next door, but close
good work 🙏🏾
I don’t say this lightly…that was SUCH an inspirational video. Thank you
Such a beautiful garden. Thanks for taking us along Weedy. Man, the x-ray of your broken toe made me squirm.
Me too. 🙏🏻👍🦍
I know you are a professional photographer, but, Mr Weedy, you always move me with your stunning videos and beautiful lighting. I'm an expat Australian and your area is close to that of my Grandparents when they were alive. I'm very nostalgic living in Chihuahua Mexico. The birds always set me off. I find it interesting that you imagine yourself as a gorilla and not as an echidna...ever tried to remove one so you can get a car out of the driveway... might as well go inside for a cuppa. You have the determination and way of marching around the food forest as an echidna. Your food forest will be magical and ever changing.
Lovely comment Ann 🙏🏻
I just joined The Weedy Gardens patreon! His videos are like movies so its worth the investment.
A few things from my personal experience doing this type of thing:
•Don't buy potted plants as they are often root bound and can be expensive if you didn't germinate yourself. If you did germinate yourself use root trainers. I always just buy bare root trees because they aren't root bound and can be had for less than $1 each.
•Plant more than you need. If you aren't super concerned about penny pinching, buy 3-5 trees per spot that you want a tree, and cull as they get older leaving a final, healthiest tree. Mark Shephard does this and calls it the STUN method
•Don't worry if your trees get munched on. The first year I ever planted I put up a bunch of posts and netting and deer still got in and mowed everything to the ground. However, I had a lot of survivors because trees are used to that kind of thing. I've planted many times since and while deer haven't been a problem, my wife's horses will sometimes take a nibble. They just come back stronger next year
•Be patient. I've planted bare root trees in the middle a pasture with zero protection and I've planted potted trees in a protected space and no matter what, I always lose about the same percentage of trees to the elements, and they all take about four years to really start taking off. Once they start growing though, man do they go fast. Typically for me is is zero inches per year for four years, then three or more feet per year after that, even for slow growing trees like oaks.
Super tips. Thanx Eric
Hi Eric, can you please share where to find $1 bare root trees? I haven’t been able to find them for less than $15-$20 each - about 3-4 feet tall for that price.
@@ruanddu I live in NA, specifically SC, so I buy a lot of trees from Mellowmarsh Farm located in NC (prices $0.85-1.15). I've also purchased a lot of trees from Cold Stream Farm located in MI (prices $0.23-15.00 depending if you buy in bulk or not) and Chief River Nursery in WI ($1.00-10.00). I usually don't get super tall trees, just 1'-2' because once the roots get established they grow fast anyway. Plus even at those heights the roots can be too big for a hole made with a dibble. Best way to find nurseries is to Google the latin name of a tree you want and add bareroot ie "quercus alba bareroot" and you should get a lot of results, many of which might even be local to you.
@@Eric998765 Thank you Eric! I will definitely check around but so far all the nurseries around here are super spendy. I will see if maybe the nurseries you listed offering shipping on large quantities. Thanks again.
@@Eric998765 I also wanted to see if you have seen the Back to Eden gardening documentary? It seems right up your alley. ruclips.net/video/6rPPUmStKQ4/видео.html
My plants call me Monkey Boy, so I can feel where you’re coming from!
you are blessed to have such rich soil in your garden
Yes. It was previously covered with lantana
If you plant a lime tree you can graft a lemon limb onto it. Make a garden area of multiple fruit and nut trees. I know someone w/ a plum/peach/persimmon. Love the channel and the videography.
Excellent idea
persimmon cant be grafted to prunus rootstock
That sounds awesome. At the Forestiere Underground Gardens in Fresno, California (amazing place, story, and idea!), there is a Seven Fruit Tree, with seven types of citrus that the creator grafted about 100 years ago. It still bears fruit, but it has lost some limbs so no longer every type.
@@pongop i think record is 10, from last year.
@@ApocGuy Wow, that's amazing!
I’m using bananas and ice cream bean to fast track my canopy. I see you have a few bananas, harvest the pups and spread them around your swales. One for every two fruit trees is a good ratio. They quickly multiply you don’t need to buy more than a few to start with. Find an ice cream bean tree and plant the seed fresh, they don’t last long if they dry out. Once growing they will quickly over take your fruit trees and become the mother. Ice creams give mottled light, fix nitrogen and provide food. I harvested a few pods for free and I’m growing a dozen in my backyard food forest. If they create too much shade one day, pruning them back sends signals through the roots. This triggers massive growth in all your trees. Geoff teaches to set up the pioneer plants first and I get it now. I also made the mistake of starting with fruit trees and wondering why they died.
Thanx. Planted out five 🍌🌴 today
I am smiling. Thank you for sharing and giving a little hope and inspiration for others.
I don't know what to say, except you are a wonderful awesome human. Your mate is blessed (sweaty Tee-Pee lodge 🙂). Been watching you from the start...although there are episodes I need to catch up on, as mom passed away this year 💔😥 she was a faithful gardener and her and dad loved growing food. That's what they fed their family of 7 with, when I was growing up.
Peace and blessings ❤🙏
they must have been busy in the garden
Was so longing to see a new video .. Mr Weedy - you are a legend .. an inspiration indeed .. more power to you
So nice of you to say mate. Thanx soo much :-)
The bob ross of gardening! Absolutely love it. Gorgeous video, so serene. Thank you! ❤️
You my friend are a beautiful being. You are truly an artist, and a man that shines his calling ✊
The videography and editing on this video is 💯
I was so enthralled in your video that I got a shock that it came to an end so quickly !!! I love your photography, your calming voice and how you explain everything you do success and failures...and solutions!!! wonderful thank you so much for making the world a better place...
I'm so so glad you talk about fungi and it's importance, it isn't recognized enough so thank you!
There's something so therapeutic about watching your videos mate. Love it
This is so normal life, amazing life.
Did you mean to write ‘no’ normal life?
This channel is soo therapeutic. Everything about it is soo calming and peaceful! Absolutely love it.

its the man's voice, it has a relaxing quality to it. at least when he is narrating.
@@TheWeedyGarden do let me know if you have some merch I can get.👍
@@TheLYagAmi Only “merch” I have is my book which was made 13 years ago. There are 30 hardcopies left, the pdf is on theweedygarden.com. I’m working on a MOVIE atm (long project), but I’ll call that “merch” too when the time comes. Other than that, what could you use? The auto merch stuff is not really something I’m into and if I were to do something, it would be heirloom seeds, or thai fishermans pants, but that’s a whole time consuming business, so it’s not on the table.
@@TheWeedyGarden thanks a tonne 🙏
I also dream of a food forest that' s why I started even with my small size garden , your video is very inspiring! watching from France
Your food forest 🌳 it's beautiful 😊🏡❤️🐶😺
I knew I recognised the Northern Rivers. I miss It there.
Hope Life is treating You well. Cheers for this beautiful gem of a movie.
Many blessings and abundance to You, Loved ones and Land.
This is such a great story what I'm working on now happen to live in Florida in the United States similar climate that you have you are right you have to treat it like a forest and then you covered that plant with burlap...I learned that from you... there's so many different plants you can grow we pretty much have them all... Moringa trees seed very quick... there are two types of peanut plants you can grow one is like a perennial those are edibles great for ground cover... I like your videos so much it gave me a lot of inspiration for what I want to do at my other place in another state......thank you great video. ... solutions that can help everyone....
Great stuff Nicholas 😄
Beside of the educational value , your video's are of such a great quality. It's like I'm watching a story; thanks for sharing this way.
yep. no questions, no answers just awesome. Great sense of humour mate 🙏🏼 you're in but kinda out. brilliant
Sweet! Greetings from a food forest Mama in the San Juan Islands of Washington state. Thank you for sharing your food forest journey. Cheers!
Was so curious when in your planning you wrote brasilian cherry, Living here all my life never knew about a brazilian cherry. My surprise when i researched it and it is a Jaboticaba tree!!! Each of my grandmas have one in the backyard.
They are really sturdy and call a lot of animals (bees, bemtevis, toucans...) but take longe time to develop
Thanks, I really enjoy watching these incredible videos on gardening and all your trial and errors and Amazing developments. It's my dream to have a farm and grow my own vegetables & fruits and eat a fresh harvest from the ground.Its a Divine Delight.All Blessings to you .Amen!🙏❤🙏🙌
By 4:51 I'm thinking to myself I may need more than just one friend 🤣
Thank you for the empty pots! I've wanted to visit Australia since I was a young girl.
I like my baby-trees to be surrounded by annuals… As annuals can grow quite big in a short period of time… the babies are well protected. 😉
I have tons of the above. Lots of casava, and corn and other veggies. Have planted more banana pups today too
I love and am inspired by not only your gardening journey but also by your genius video and editing skills. That scene where everyone gathered to create the O in community is pure art. I see this channel on it's way to 500k subs very quickly
NEVER MISTAKE quantity for quality - it's SURELY THE WAY to HELL - BUT ONLY those with eyes to recognise and ears to understand WILL SEE IT!
After dreaming of it for years, this spring I will finally be able to do a few weekends of labouring on my own piece of land. I will plant the first 50 or so trees. Tall trees on the north, Short trees and bushes on the south. Nothing on the place or close around the place my future home will be built so the trees would not get hurt by builders.
I will almost exclusively plant the local (Croatian) plant varieties because they are more delicious than modern hybrids and should be protected from this McDonald's mentality saying that all the apples and all the pears and all the whatevers should all look and taste the same. I remember as a child I would every often climb up the apple tree we had. It gave such a delicious fruit, but when I was a teen we had to cut it down because it was old and sick. It was a matter of time of when it would fall down on its own. I managed to find out what kind of apple tree it was, and that is also how I found out there is a plantation that sells young trees of the local varieties that also delivers them to my area for a little fee.
I am learning about this permaculture thing and am very surprised to why haven't people plant things just a little differently in the past. Maybe because they didn't know, maybe they didn't care, and maybe they did without of me knowing about it. I will use the knowledge that I got about the permaculture, to make it be as similar to it as possible. I will start with an orchard, but since it's a large area of land, I plan on using around half of it to grow medicinal plants. So first food and then the medicinal forrest. Till then I have to find out is it possible or even preferred for some of them to grow in the shadow or do they all need a lot of sunlight? I think that before thinking about it, I should learn more about how to manage water first. I will need to know it this spring.
Happy new year!
"you are what you eat, and if you dont know what you eat, you dont know what you are" wow
I started planting trees while ago here is costa rica. I really want be have a food forest and be a costa rican gorila. I really enjoy your videos, it is amazing all the great material you share to us
Ha Ha. A Costa Rican Gorilla. Love it 😊
Always a pleasure to watch your craft and skill Dr Weedy.
I thought that was the noise the sun made too 🥺✨
I envy you your lifestyle, peaceful,serene, healthy,happy and holy.
This video makes me cry... in a good way! it's such a beautiful and resonant vision. I may not have thought of being a gorilla but everything else for sure! And so I began two years ago in earnest to learn permaculture principles and start my journey to food forest freedom here on the 11 acres we are grateful to inhabit. thank you so much for this wonderful inspiration and knowledge! 💚
What a beautifully told story that connected to my heart! 💗 I used to live in the trees, pick apples and peaches from my grandmother's orchard and grind "weeds" on stones and pretend I was making medicines. You brought me right back to those memories that rooted a love of growing food in me to begin with. We need to connect permaculture with the heart of people if we want it to grow. Wonderfully done!
WOW! I don't remember ever being so focused for an entire video like this!
Thank You!
Subscribed!!
What a marvelous instruction!! I've done random gardening here and there. I would never have thought about shade placement! I'm saving this and subscribing. Thank you for not just showing your beautiful garden, but how we can do this too.
Hello good sir! I always end up emotional watching your videos. And I'm binge watching this past days. This is also a dream of mine. For personal and financial reasons I cannot pursue right now, but you showed me that it is never too late.. In the near future I will start on my little patch of land too. Thank you for sharing, it's inspiring! Much love from the Philippines!
Man, this is my dream food forest. Hope we can see more updates on your beautiful trees on this amazing land :)
Thank you so much for putting a visual documentation together.
I absolutelyLOVEDDDD this wonderfully well done video!! My GOD, you’re doing what I have been wanting to do for 20 to 30 years!!
I’m 64 years old now, female , and as much as I’d like to get out into the dirt, unless my partner retires and shows an interest, I’ll never get to do it! , sadly, but I can surely enjoy you living my dream!, and so it is!!
But you’ve inspired me so much to just work on a very small area compared to what you’ve got to work with.
Job well done, sir.
In joy🌿🌟🌿

this is brilliant. your filming, your ideas, your way of explaining everything, and i’m about to go to sleep and i will say your voice is very peaceful and calming ☺️
Did you dream of frolicking in a food forest 😁
Hi Weedy, lovely to see the whole development! You are so privileged in that area with the weather and soil! Much harder on the western slopes nsw. Exposed to wind and dust.
But it's all going well!
And frost and snow :)
Yeah but the frosts have all but disappeared from nth nsw to qld hinterland so we got dis ease to deal with. But all is going well
@@robertfranc2365 Do you mean the frosts have all but disappeared because we're in late Spring or do you mean disappeared altogether in recent years?
@@SamStone1964 compared to the disinfection 20 years ago altogether sums it up.
@@robertfranc2365 No frosts for 20 years?
Those birds!!!! Sound so good.
Thank you 🙋🏻♀️💜 your vid is very informative & entertaining…. Didn’t feel like 15 mins, it was nice to get lost in your garden 🪴
Quite the masterclass for creating paradise. Every moment was considered, yet not labored. Your biggest talent is speaking to humans, David. On an unrelated note, I realized that your slope is facing south, which is not too sunny for Australia. Interested to see how the plants develop. I suppose with your latitude, it doesn’t matter much, being a subtropical climate. Here it would be less than ideal. Your papaya tree up top looks amazing.
Gotta remember we are in the Southern Hem. The slope is VERY small. It´s almost flat up there. The sun hits the entire garden, so the plants on the slope get full sun. Thanks for your feedback Siloe. Love your work too my friend. Stay safe and keep up YOUR good work too my mate.
@@TheWeedyGarden love and follow your paradise and your lifestyle.
Happy to see you respond to Siloe. Two of my favorite garden saintly people. God bless you both!!

Hi David, Old friend🤗. As always incredible imagery, footage, editing, angles and above all the stories and the process of how you work through problem solving and solutions. The empty pots you left us makes us want to plant something in them. Would love to see your turf one day..

Thanks for your hopeful and inspiring story. The great aussie bird songs in the background took me back to Geoff's classes. Wonderful!
yeah. love them birds 💚
Great video and glad you didn't get discouraged by the setback.
