You guys are amazing! I love it. My husband and I have done this with our yard in Anaheim. We have trees and plants all around the house. Not much space but using it all. Hopefully we'll be able to have space like this one day. Looking forward to seeing your place evolve and grow 😉
Absolutely, it feels so good to be wrapped up in this creation, constantly evolving and teaching. Hope to see more people sharing there #permaculture journey
@@RobAndyCruz really enjoyable and informative, loving the zooming shots of flowers and plants, and the interplay of dialogue with a very important message
This video made me cry so good. I have so much love for this beautiful earth! I am starting a food forest on my property on the Big Island. I feel like I have gained so much knowledge and inspiration from all of your videos. Thank you guys!
Jessica Young thank you for taking the time to watch it, And taking it into the heart. Plz share if you feel like it. We hope this will spark more people into creating with the land.
Question, I hope you can answer. Are you at a point to sustain the two of yourselves off the land annually? Or do you find the land a good source to supplement some fresh greens to your diet but you still find yourself going to the store for the rest of your dietary needs?
Most of our food comes from this Garden and our community food forest project we work on. Then we also have some fruits coming from the farm we live on. What we buy from the store is onion/garlic which we hope to grow this fall, flour, rice, sauces, oil, vinegar which we are making more and more and spices which we grow more and more. The bulk of our food is what we grow and the food forest community project. The rest is coming together with time!
Can you do a video explaining in detail the plot you guys mentioned at the end of the agroforestry academy interview you guys did. You guys briefly mentioned it here. I know you used tons of guinea grass, the okra was huge! I want to know how to construct it !
Rob & Andy Cruz I am currently maintaining a kitchen garden for my family restaurant in the island of st Lucia, i would love to learn more about annual poly culture plantings using the syntropic concepts. I don’t have much space for perennials but short cycle ones. Biomass generation via plants is another valuable talking point. Plant propagation and pruning of valuable support species is always fascinating. That’s pretty much the rabbit hole I’m in right now. Great content . 😍 especially this video .
Enjoyed the walk through, an Ulu tree or two is definitely on my list. I think am finally understanding the instructions better. Is the rainfall enough or do you need a watering system? I’m very curious as to the grains that grow well locally? Do you recycle food scraps through the system? Glad to see how fast soil is able to be created.
Thank you, we did not mention it in the video, but we have not watered the garden once since we made it. The heavy mulching and ample rain have taken care of us. At first we just tossed food scraps in the garden, but that made for nasty surprises under the toes, but it did lend us to have a lot of volunteers trees growing that Im now learning to graft on. Now we toss scraps in big pots, and top them with saw dust. When they brake down we add them to new sections of the garden. The fastest way to build soil is huge amounts of grass clippings. 🌱🙌
@@RobAndyCruz I've been burying the scraps, your way seems easier. I can get lots of grass clippings, especially if I take down some hau bush. You graft onto existing trees that you self-selected to grow in a particular spot? That sounds brilliant.
@@RobAndyCruz Gourd tunnels and gourd arbors are amazingly restful places for an evening sit, and the gourds themselves are a fine medium for so many projects.
F.N. Schlub on our TP’s we have long / regular luffas, ube yams, wing beans, Lima beans, and tomatillos, tomatoes. We also have some squash and water melon running behind them. Gourds are super vigorous here, and vary important to the native Hawaiians. Hope to get a few kinds to learn from
I learned food forest from Rob he is a champion 🏆 🥇 🏅 😎 tons of respect 🙏
So inspiring
Soooooo beautiful
You two are an inspiration for us
Life Reimagined thank you 🙏 it’s so important to start building the relationship with the plants. It’s fundamental to the future of humanity. 🔥
Not gonna lie, Im envious.
Miguel Watake start ware you are at. Learn your plants that thrive in your area, and build / value biomass
Do you have a garden now ?

Dario Piazza yes, we will. We are looking to expand into another area, and I will take the time to explain/ show it
What else would you like us to share / highlight? We are trying to get a pulse of that people want to learn from us . 🙏❤️

Rob & Andy Cruz oh, I almost forgot ! Those bamboo trellises. How did you construct them? Maybe a video will suffice, ive got tons of bamboo here!,
Rob & Andy Cruz just watched the video again. The tropical grains would be very interesting too 😊

What is the largest gourd you can grow there ?
F.N. Schlub not sure, we have Just planted some for making bowls. Hope to see them pop soon

Do y'all have any work exchange opportunities on your property?
No we don’t. Its a small ship. Would love to see it happen in the food forest in the future
I'm pretty sure there are magic mushrooms in the garden
Maybe under my bed
God dammit youtube i was looking for aggro forestry not gardening.
We just made a few videos on agroforestry. And we use a lot of the same techniques, our garden is also surrounded by a system
