- Happy Mother's Day to everyone who is a mother or fills the role of a mother for someone in their life! We'd be nowhere without you! ❤️
In today's video, you will get to see one of our CHINAMPA gardens in our PERMACULTURE FOOD FOREST being set up for a DEMO THREE SISTERS GARDEN that I am preparing for an EDUCATIONAL PUBLIC TELEVISION station here in Ontario (MiniTFO). Plus, this year I finally decided to set up a couple of CATTLE PANELS (actually they're Hog Panels - they're just as long to make the arch, but not as wide - I wanted to start easy 😊). I wanted to get them in place for Mother's Day, because Magali loves all forms of vertical gardening - trellises, archways, etc.! So they're up now! I wanted to set them up alone so I could show you how you can do it alone if needed. I give an explanation toward the end of the process. Much of the repetitive stuff, I put in sped-up video with music. Also, when tidying up certain areas by hand, I have always found those large garden scissors very tiring, especially if I want to collect what I am cutting at the same time. I also find them quick to dull. So I will show you a tool that I use, and how to use it, to do this by hand which is a lot easier than your regular garden scissors.
Keeping the squash vine covered making it more difficult for the squash vine bug and also allowing the plant to continue rooting with fresh growth. Great tip thankyou.
It's a pleasure! Thank you for watching!
This is amazing! Your property is my dream. I love that you are using chinampas. Can’t wait to watch more videos. -Savannah (from HH 😊)
Thank you Savannah! Welcome to Willows Green Permaculture!
I like your tool painting trick
Thank you! It works! 😊
Thank you God bless you Maranatha
You're welcome. And thank you, God bless you too.
Great video Stephan! Thank you for giving us a preview of the second garden you built. It definitely is going to be a pleasure to come film. PS: now I understand better why you warned us to bring boots 😄
Allô Deniz. Merci! Il n'y a pas de l'eau partout. Vous allez pouvoir marcher sur les sentiers de copeaux. Mais, au cas où, les bottes sont utiles. Elles nous protègent aussi des bibittes, et ici et là il y a de l'herbe à puce et des plantes épineuses, alors les bottes protègent de cela aussi!
Glad to see you using a sickle, I just purchased one in a 2nd hand store for 10 dollars.
I will try planting a three sisters group of plants.. thanks for your efforts
All the best with your three sisters!
Thanks for the video and the tips about covering squash vines.
You’re welcome! I’ll show that process when I have vines to cover.
Que diferente se ve su jardín en los videos de invierno con el de ahora, cada uno con una belleza propia
¡Muchas gracias Marcia! ¡Cada semana se volverá más verde!
Great video Stefan! Thank you!
Thank you Khadiza!
I also use European buckthorn branches for garden stakes, firewood, and brush piles for wildlife. I just have be careful about the thorns. Thanks for the video and all the best.
Yes, those thorns are something! Thanks for commenting. All the best to you too!
Great video Stefan. Love the tips about clipping the beans and also covering the squash vines with leaves. My property is surrounded by red oak trees so I have a ton of leaves to use.
Thank you Barb! The oak leaves last a long time too!
I enjoyed the chinampas portion of your video. Since we butt up on a 2100 acrole marsh (Big Island Marsh -- part of Quinte Bay) there are a few spots where I can fo this. I even have fallen ash trees out there to make a base.
I will get up there to get those sorghum seeds, too
Thank you! If you could text me the day before with a window for when you will be coming, I would appreciate it. I would do work out front so I could see you arrive.
Thanks for your sharing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You’re welcome! ❤️
Nice work, like what you've done there . Appreciate the information
Thank you! It's a pleasure!
Amazing the deer pruned the beans!
I wondered about the bears climbing the apple trees and breaking the branches -- are they actually pruning the apple trees?
I am now interested in CHINAMPA gardens.
Thank you for the video!
Thank you! I’m glad you like our videos!
Every time I've planted the 3 sisters, rabbits have "murdered" 2 of the sisters and only left the squash alone. I have a lot of rabbits and unless I fence off the garden bed, they nibble off many of the young transplants. I guess water in the Chinampa setting deters rabbits. Happy growing.
The 4 foot fence, buried about a foot deep, is what keeps rabbits out, (but nothing else). The brambles, etc, I talked about in the last video are what keep everything else out, in combo with the fence. Of course, this new chinampa garden doesn’t have any brambles yet. I guess I’ll be doing some propagating in the fall. The abundance of water will make that easy.
For the squash to be an effective deterrent, it really has to surround the other plants thickly. This demo garden is going to be a real test, because there isn’t much protecting it. Just the 4 foot fence. But the squash are going to have a ton of space to grow. We’ll see! 😊
Awesome beard. Love the channel.. just found you..
Thank you! Welcome to Willows Green Permaculture!
