      @@PermacultureMagazine I also wanted to say how much I appreciate your beekeeping method and philosophy. It is 100% what I do with my bees too, and it's rare that I run across another beek who keeps with so much respect for the bees' wildness.
      Just a lovely garden and a really clear concise tour. Thank you again.

    Truely beautiful. My foodforest/wildlife habitat is also blooming in white right now, in my case, wood anemones. Other areas have many different shades of pink thanks to the peonies. It's interesting how some times of the year, certain colors dominated and then after they are done, some other colors take over. 15 years ago, when I moved here, it was all lawn.

    Loved your video. Thank you for inviting me in. I think what you have done to your space over the years is wonderful. It must be such a source of pleasure to both of you. Because of you and a couple of other permaculture gardeners on RUclips I totally changed my ways.
    My handkerchief sized garden (35’x30’) is split into 3 zones one of which is a mini food forest I planted out last autumn. I already had a couple of blueberry shrubs in there under wild cherry and the rest of that area was filled with perennial flowers. I had a rethink last summer after suffering health problems and decided to grow organically. My mantra is “if I can’t eat it, it doesn’t go in the forest”. I’m hoping this year to crop some gooseberries, black currents, raspberries, wine berries and the original blueberries. Under planting the bushes are bilberry, strawberry, nasturtium, tulip, calendula. This part of my garden is my favourite place to be and I share it with numerous garden birds, bees and hover flies. It is amazingly and satisfyingly noisy!
    The other zones are annual vegetables which I interplant including my salad bed, and a wild corner of nettle, briar rose, honeysuckle, container herbs and wild flowers. My bench is in that corner.
    I feel the good of gardening in this way and my little garden provides more interest to me now. I can walk through the wooden arch covered with rambling Rose and honeysuckle into my forest and I feel I’m in a different world. It’s the finest medicine I’ve ever had.

Or just a snapshot of part of your planting design maybe.

    This is beautiful. Just at soil building and design stage myself in something I/4 the size.
    Where did you get such a long season wild meadow mix? Did you have to keep resowing it initially? Im waiting for my first meadow flowers to emerge but still seems thin on the ground.
    What on earth do you do with all the fruit and nuts from 60 trees? Not to mention all your berries. Mine will be too close to the house and shade too much of the veg garden to have more than 5 but that still will be more than I can eat.
    I am copying your circular design for your veg beds 😁. Love it.

    • @PermacultureMagazine
      @PermacultureMagazine  4 года назад +2

      The meadow mix comes from Emorsgate Seeds in Glos. It was a mix of annuals and perennials. We have managed it so we only cut after the seeds drop. We lost Yellow Rattle in the early years due to inexperience and have resown it more recently with fresh seed. We also added Viper's Blugloss in plugs last year. Berries are no problem - we freeze them. We compete with squirrels for the nuts. We give away fruit and aim to make apple juice. Whatever we don't eat is taken care of by birds and small mammals.

      @PermacultureMagazine  4 года назад

      The best thing you can do is study your local wild flowers. Then cut your lawn, scratch it to create bare soil and sow a local seed mix in it. You can also plant plugs grown on from seed. We do both. We will make a meadow video about how we planted it and how we add to the diversity, and how we manage it to ensure we keep the species in it.

    Your garden is beautiful, great work.
    Just wished this wasnt one more case of video beginning with: the soil didnt exist, no earthworms, the soil was dead...
    Its almost impossible that you didnt had earthworms all around, and just seeing the vegetation in the pics at beginning its obvious the soil (and soil fertility) existed there. If there was no soil and no fertility there nothing would grow. If you did nothing, and just waited 20 years you would get a forest anyway. Maybe full of brambles, but you also would have many diferrent other flowers, bushes and trees. And insects, bees included. And birds and animals... in fact, many of them were there when you arrived already.
    We can garden just because we like and want it. No need to go to this "im a saviour of the world, everything was dead and then we arrived..." kind of vanity.
