This is last video of the winter permaculture mini-series where we visit Glasbren Market Garden. What an amazing place this is! If you want to find out more about Glasbren here is a short-film on my other channel 'Regenerative Films': ruclips.net/video/supEWhEBJXU/видео.html 🌱
Please!!! Spanish subtitles!!! Miro sus vídeos y me encantan, puedo seguir los bastante pero mi inglés no es muy bueno y estaría genial que pudieran poner subtítulos en Español!!!! Thank you!!!!
Now imagine how with just a little bit of rain harvesting land forming. You can do this pretty much anywhere even as low as 2 inches of rain on average a year. No one would ever go hungry and land that is completely useless is prosperous and giving so much back for the effort we put into it. (I want to know more about the terraces and what's the maximum steepness and still have an insanely productive garden)
Well dry spell and drought is not exactly the same thing - A dry spell is defined as a period of 15 or more consecutive days with less then 1 mm of rainfall on each; and drought is a period of 15 or more consecutive days with less than 0.2 mm on each
@@Stef.with.an.F as an Australian I am laughing soooo hard at that definition. (And I live in the cooler, moister SE, less than 100km from the coast, where we get both frontal and orthographic rainfall [about 600-700mm per year], not in the dry inland.) Your definition of drought is my definition of a wet summer. While they are unusual, we do get summers where there is ZERO rain from late November til some time in March.
Wonderful place this, very inspiring. I'm working on a terraced mountainside on very acid sand soil, where once there was a conifer plantation. I have vegetable beds, fruit trees, wild areas managed as meadow with 2 annual cuts, compost piles and manure piles . I have used immense quantities of manure, compost and wood ash to increase the soil pH to the point where I can now grow a wide range of crops. Apples, plums, cherries do well, as do strawberries. Huge blueberry crops, too. I have made 10,000 litres of water storage with gravity feed drip watering systems. I now feed two of us entirely and make a lot of preserves for the whole year. Any excess I give away. Trouble with me is that I'm such a loner that I really can't be around a lot of people and I certainly can't work in a group so I do all this myself. Maybe there should be a specialist branch of permaculture for total introverts?
Permaculture is a design science applied to your needs. You can be alone. You can be a hippy-dippy solstice worshipper. You can be a family with a huge family. You can run a profitable business. You can be a prepper setting yourself up for the apocalypse. Permaculture had no spiritual or political agenda.
I know what you mean about working alone - have you seen this video? It certainly made me feel more at ease with the way I am... ruclips.net/video/NOtyMf_1uho/видео.html
I love all that you said. You put words to thoughts & feelings that I've had for years. My husband & I ran a small farm school for children for about 8 years, which followed a similar concept. It was a remarkable experience. I look forward to continuing this project in a different sort of way now that our children are older & am happy to have found this video. I need to learn more about biodiversity to attract pollinators & improve the health of our soil. Keep doing what you do! It's a beautiful thing. Your words echoed the feelings of my heart. God bless you & yours always. 💕🙏🦋
I’ve been trying to adapt my garden to start growing more food in it whilst also using fewer fertilisers. This year, I’m planning on growing peas, potatoes, courgettes, coriander, tomatoes and chillies in the garden using containers and soil from my compost bin and basically doing it like an experiment to see what works best for these plants in the garden space available.
Oh my brother, you inspire me. While we here have intermittent rain, we now have regular flooding. I will "borrow" from you to make my own garden better. Thanks you for inspiration!!!
I am really inspired to live this way, one day. Your videos are a really eye opener, into seeing how people can live off the land. In such a simple and natural way. Great job!!
You REALLY gotta love what you do to hand water everything. I market farmed on 10,000sqft high intensity and it took around 1 hour to 1 hour 15 almost every day during summer just to water everything. But hey if you dig it I dig it for you
Very inspiring and totally beautiful. Really love their philosophy and they've answered so many issues that many of us market gardeners and farmers face.
I would like to point out that I heard a lot of wise words in this video. There are no limits to human knowledge and the desire to be in harmony with nature and oneself. Thanks for shearing it.
One of your best videos. A lot of us can relate to gardening on a small scale. I can’t say I watched them all but I’ve watched a few. Well done. Very inspiring. Keep up the good work.
This is so beautiful it has brought tears to my eyes. I so needed to surrender and have a good cry. I has reminded me how grateful I am to have a beautiful allotment and I get that emotional connection with the earth and nature and the sense of community. Thank you.
Great garden, I started my garden in 2021, but we have kikuyu grass in Cape Town, South Africa and it is a tough grass that spreads fast so I have had to dig it out and make my veggie beds with concrete slabs and large cement bricks to keep it out. I even sifted the soil to remove the grass. Hard work and good exercise as I am 67 years old, my harvest for a starter garden has been good and I had a cherry tomato plant that grew over 1,8m high and I picked over a 100 tomatoes off it. I even planted 6 trees (Avo from a pip, Moringa from seed, Guava, Mulberry, Lemon and Fig from cuttings) and am expanding the beds to make larger crop.
Being connected with soil ,air and nature surrounding you can be therapeutic as well....and you tend to appreciate your food even more and being grateful at the same time....
Huw, this series has been incredible. You guys do such good and crucial work - thank you for taking the time to produce such helpful and inspiring stories!
Growing food in this way is life, it's abundance, it's space to breathe. It's rejuvenating the whole local community and giving people something to believe in again. It's hope for a better future and the reason for getting up in the morning. That's why I love agri-preneurs. One entrepreneur to the world is like a well-spring to this garden. Amazing work - keep it up guys! You're saving the global economy - one small garden at a time!
This is beth from Philippines.i love farming.since I was born in this world farm is the work of my parents.now it's my work to survive too.very good to eat your own vegetable.this vedio is amazing.
Beautiful garden. We need more of this in the world. Small local farms supporting 20-100 families all extremely local. This is how we pull KMs off the transportation/agriculture network.
Thanks you for giving a voice to these wonderful people....this kind of people are thé true Guardians of humanity....Nature doesn't need us....but WE depend on her wellbeing for our survival...these people are showing thé Way.....WE need thousands of small Farms Like These....to Stop thé massive destruction caused By intensive and monoculture Farming..... Blessing ngs🌳💝☀️🐦🎶🌻🐝🌱💚
Work how you want with what tools and method give you the most joy.... this guy understands that when you truly care, with love as your primary intention, work ceases to be a 'job' and joy, inspiration, meaning and beauty unfold before your very eyes. The words 'job' and 'hard work' are deeply imbedded in our consciousness... like an irritating splinter that, with a little care and effort, can be gently squeezed out 🌻
Great videos you are putting out. Have you heard of Jack First? He is in Wales (if I remember right). He grows all year round in hotbeds. Would love to see a video from his new place. He is using seaweed as a composting agent.
I absolutely love this idea. Unfortunately I live in the Arizona desert, so rain is extremely difficult to come by. If I could figure out a way to do something like this, even on a smaller scale, I would be thrilled. I love the idea that they connect with the garden and appreciate what it has to offer. They honor it and care for it, and it provides them food. Thank you for sharing this video! 💖
@@ashleyporterroy4043 I was amazed when I saw what they could achieve. One woman, a retires school teacher had set up an amazing garden all by herself. Also I think the Green dream project is in Arizona. They are currently working on a water storage and an earth bag house they haven’t got to their garden yet.
I live in the high desert in so cal. 110 in the summer. With mulch of all kinds I grow everything. The first year might be slow but as you mulch out your garden nothing is impossible. Watch the back to eden film. It works. Good luck and GOD bless
I really, really enjoyed everything about this video. It was probably the best video that explains the deep yearning in many of us to dig our toes into the soil, close our eyes and breathe deeply and use our hands to plant something that will live to make us live and we ultimately continue the circle. Awesome video. thanks for sharing this with us.
My visit to Wales was in the middle of the “dry spell” a couple of summers ago and definitely not what I had packed for! 😂 Now back home in the northeast US and gardening on land that was a sand and gravel pit b/c the glaciers pushed debris along their path until stopping in my back yard. Marginal hillside, indeed. Thanks for the good ideas from a landscape I’ll never forget.
It seems like you have a very wonderful beautiful mind and soul and all of the people who works with you same is to you guys are hard-working people I like what you are doing and I like what you saying about and of course we need more people like you guys . Spreading a good words teaching and learning from everybody learning how to love the land and the food thank you for that stay healthy be happy peace
Firstly Huw...I enjoy your Chanel and garden immensely, and the last five episodes highlighting other gardeners permaculture and sustainable gardens were beautifully produced,edited and filmed. Well done you!
I think I just figured out what to do with the sloped property handed over to me. Terraced permaculture garden it is! Thanks very much for sharing this video.
My seabuckthorn seeds just sprung two weeks ago, very exciting! Looking forward to have harvest in the next 3-5 years. Seabuckthorn fruit blended with honey is my coffee. I also dry the seeds and grind them and ad them as fibers either in the fruit shake, or in whatever i'm inspired. Healthy!
I'm thinking of getting one. We have a naturinitiative that sells local (Germany) plants twice a year. Scrubs and bushes for 3,50 to 5,00 € each. They describe the properties of each on the website. Most are great for.pollinators and birds. I had no idea you can eat the seed of sea buckthorn. Thanks for the idea.
The fuit are being stored in the freezer, so you take them out, after that blend it (consume the yummy smoothie) and take the seeds and put them in a pot with transparent cover. The passing through the blender will stratch the surface of the seed and imitate the natural passing through a bird's digestive system. In 2-3 weeks they spring. The bush(some female and some male) also stabilizes and prevents the soil from going downhill. It might grow wildly very fast at one point, so that could be one disatvantage.
Hew, I may be across "the pond" but you provide such inspiration. I wish you lived closer by - I would love to come visit and work with you so I could learn and then make one of my own. So keep the good stuff coming.
Oh WOW! Love this sooo much! Biodiversity yeah! I really must visit these guys when everything's safe again! They're only up the road from us. Our new place is Llanpumsaint. Thanks for always providing quality content Huw 👌
We are in California and we get very little water. The rare times that we get rain, we catch all the water we can in huge trash cans. The water will last fir a few weeks. I also plant flowers along with vegetables and save seeds. Great video. This garden is amazing!!!! Gardening is so fulfilling.
Thanks for the video Huw! And what a wonderful and peaceful place. I`m looking out of the window, snow and sun, and want to start right now in a new garden season. Your videos are helping to lift the patience.
Because I live on what is basically sand as I am very near the beach in Florida, I have found that fruit trees are a better way for me to have fresh food. I have planted a lot from seed, but also have bought from nurseries. Fruit trees take up little space, providing shade for other plants at the base. In the summer, this is invaluable. Trees don't need constant watering once established, and as my water bill is over $80 a month as it is, this saves me money. Fruit trees in general do not have the pest problem ground crops seem to have. Experiments with vertical gardening produce the same effect a tree does. Additionally, pets do not violate trees the way they do a freshly dug garden, there is no weeding to speak of, no ground preparation year after year, mulching and in-place composting is easy, and some trees grow at a fantastic rate. Some trees also provide greens, such as the moringa, and a sweet potato like fruit called a mamey. I planted one mamey seed after trying it for the first time, and it shot up like a rocket. My mulberry tree is 14' in just the second year from a 3 foot tall sapling, and it's making fruit already. Even with a garden, fruit trees are incredible - just plant those seeds!
I also water by hand. It gives me more control, 100% of the water goes where I want it to so I can water more with less, and like the gentleman said it forces one to inspect every bit of the garden.
Love your shirt. Thanks for a great video. Love hearing other peoples stories. We are just getting set up for our first season and are seeking as much knowledge as possible.
I love their approach to gardening as being in relationship with nature instead of looking at it as what can nature do for me. I believe that it's not a coincidence that gardening can be a very spiritual experience for many and that Jesus often used nature and sowing in his parabels. It's about not being in control and still working out for the best
I love this. I would like more information on how to build that type of compost pile. I always am put off by having to build something but this looks more doable for me, 80 years old woman with limited energy etc. But that is my goal this year, to build a functioning compost pile.
There should be more trips invitation for seeing garden in person so that they can see how to plant and make their own compose. Also put a donation box so you can use towards your plants.
Beautiful video, beautiful people, beautiful philosophy ❤ This is my dream; to provide people with good, healthy food that works in harmony with the environment and encourages wildlife 😁 I live very near Carmarthen and hope that one day I may get the opportunity to come along and meet you guys and see your inspiring growing space. Much gratitude to you all for this wonderful video. This is just what we need right now, inspiring hope for a brighter future 😍

How much profit do they make ?
Great video, thank you! How do they keep the rainwater in the tanks from going bad in the heat of the summer? (Algea?)
Totally understand and agree with you 💯
Brilliant. Imagine what the world would look like if everyone did this.
Makes me think different about how to handle the new property we are on.
That would be the dream..so many problems would be solved
Paradise ?

This is literally what I’m hoping to do in our family life. What a beautiful piece of paradise. So inspiring. Huw these videos help us so much
Awh thanks so much for this kind comment and I wish you so well with your projects
Trying to get a group together to do this in Wales... Anyone want to get involved?
Am also by Feb 2023
Love that philosophy - "Things are going to go well, and they are going to go not so well...and, you just have to adapt."
I love your choices of other gardeners to spotlight. Very thoughtful and grounded.
Awh thank you! Hoping to do the same again next year.
Respect to this man for referring to it as a "Dry Spell" and not a "Drought"
Brilliant outlook

Thank you very much Amy, really pleased you enjoyed it and you're absolutely right😊
I’m loving this permaculture mini series 🥰 so inspiring. Thank you
Thank you so much! Hope to do the same again next year!
Humbling and Precious expression of Loving God's creation💞Thank You🌹
Thank you so much for watching Anna!
Beautiful, absolutely love this, respect for our Earth.
Luv this! And love what you do Huw. Good to see you promote others and encouraging us all to be more self sustainable.
I also apreciate the sense of unity with the other farmers and cooperation vs. the agressive competition that is rooted in society.
Oh my brother, you inspire me. While we here have intermittent rain, we now have regular flooding. I will "borrow" from you to make my own garden better. Thanks you for inspiration!!!
I've watched the whole series, what an inspiration! Thanks so much for making this. Huge fan.

Loving these videos Huw.
Big fan of your cinematography, understated yet so picturesque!

Great garden, I started my garden in 2021, but we have kikuyu grass in Cape Town, South Africa and it is a tough grass that spreads fast so I have had to dig it out and make my veggie beds with concrete slabs and large cement bricks to keep it out. I even sifted the soil to remove the grass. Hard work and good exercise as I am 67 years old, my harvest for a starter garden has been good and I had a cherry tomato plant that grew over 1,8m high and I picked over a 100 tomatoes off it. I even planted 6 trees (Avo from a pip, Moringa from seed, Guava, Mulberry, Lemon and Fig from cuttings) and am expanding the beds to make larger crop.

What a beautiful, inspiring video! Thank you!
Hmmm, just about as close to ideal as I can imagine, great inspiration!
So beautiful!!!!! No dig is the way to go
Really enjoyed this. Gave me ideas for my new vegetable garden.
My seabuckthorn seeds just sprung two weeks ago, very exciting! Looking forward to have harvest in the next 3-5 years. Seabuckthorn fruit blended with honey is my coffee. I also dry the seeds and grind them and ad them as fibers either in the fruit shake, or in whatever i'm inspired. Healthy!
I'm thinking of getting one. We have a naturinitiative that sells local (Germany) plants twice a year. Scrubs and bushes for 3,50 to 5,00 € each. They describe the properties of each on the website. Most are great for.pollinators and birds. I had no idea you can eat the seed of sea buckthorn. Thanks for the idea.
The fuit are being stored in the freezer, so you take them out, after that blend it (consume the yummy smoothie) and take the seeds and put them in a pot with transparent cover. The passing through the blender will stratch the surface of the seed and imitate the natural passing through a bird's digestive system. In 2-3 weeks they spring. The bush(some female and some male) also stabilizes and prevents the soil from going downhill. It might grow wildly very fast at one point, so that could be one disatvantage.
Permaculture -
Let's dig in 👨🌾❤🤤
Fascinating, and a beautiful place.
Hew, I may be across "the pond" but you provide such inspiration. I wish you lived closer by - I would love to come visit and work with you so I could learn and then make one of my own.

Thanks for the video Huw! And what a wonderful and peaceful place. I`m looking out of the window, snow and sun, and want to start right now in a new garden season. Your videos are helping to lift the patience.
You are most welcome Emilia. It'll be spring time before you know it!
I'd love a video showing how you got to this stage from the exhausted pastures!!
Lovely video, fantastic people, and a beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing
Because I live on what is basically sand as I am very near the beach in Florida, I have found that fruit trees are a better way for me to have fresh food. I have planted a lot from seed, but also have bought from nurseries. Fruit trees take up little space, providing shade for other plants at the base. In the summer, this is invaluable. Trees don't need constant watering once established, and as my water bill is over $80 a month as it is, this saves me money. Fruit trees in general do not have the pest problem ground crops seem to have. Experiments with vertical gardening produce the same effect a tree does. Additionally, pets do not violate trees the way they do a freshly dug garden, there is no weeding to speak of, no ground preparation year after year, mulching and in-place composting is easy, and some trees grow at a fantastic rate. Some trees also provide greens, such as the moringa, and a sweet potato like fruit called a mamey. I planted one mamey seed after trying it for the first time, and it shot up like a rocket. My mulberry tree is 14' in just the second year from a 3 foot tall sapling, and it's making fruit already. Even with a garden, fruit trees are incredible - just plant those seeds!
looks like a really nice, hard working way of life. would love to do something like that all day
I also water by hand. It gives me more control, 100% of the water goes where I want it to so I can water more with less, and like the gentleman said it forces one to inspect every bit of the garden.
Hello my friend! Beautiful! Have a nice weekend! 👍
I am planning to buy land and practice permaculture on it by the time I'm 30, can't wait to start the dream
That sounds amazing David and I wish you all the luck in the world for you to reach that dream!
@@HuwRichards You're such a sweet guy, you are!
Trying to get a group together to do this in Wales... Anyone want to get involved?
This is so soooooooo magically amazing! Thank you for sharing this amazing story.
Love your shirt. Thanks for a great video. Love hearing other peoples stories. We are just getting set up for our first season and are seeking as much knowledge as possible.
Wonderful. I'd like to find out more about saving and storing seeds.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I love their approach to gardening as being in relationship with nature instead of looking at it as what can nature do for me. I believe that it's not a coincidence that gardening can be a very spiritual experience for many and that Jesus often used nature and sowing in his parabels. It's about not being in control and still working out for the best
Extraordinarily inspiring. Thanks for posting.
I love this. I would like more information on how to build that type of compost pile. I always am put off by having to build something but this looks more doable for me, 80 years old woman with limited energy etc. But that is my goal this year, to build a functioning compost pile.
Huw has a great video on composting, using pallets for sides ☺

I'm learning so much from your videos. Thank you!
There should be more trips invitation for seeing garden in person so that they can see how to plant and make their own compose. Also put a donation box so you can use towards your plants.
Wow so perfect place!!

Beautiful video, beautiful people, beautiful philosophy ❤
This is my dream; to provide people with good, healthy food that works in harmony with the environment and encourages wildlife 😁
I live very near Carmarthen and hope that one day I may get the opportunity to come along and meet you guys and see your inspiring growing space.
Much gratitude to you all for this wonderful video. This is just what we need right now, inspiring hope for a brighter future 😍

Fantastic! Really inspiring
Keyline trenches will retain the water high on the land and replenish the well.
