Backyard Farming: 2 Year Market Garden Update of Nature's Always Right Farms

  • Опубликовано: 12 июн 2024
  • Many of you remember my first video with Steven Cornett of Nature's Always Right. His farm, located in his 1/4 acre backyard, is a well-thought out and beautifully run market garden here in San Diego, CA.
    The first time I went to his place was the first time I'd seen someone farming in backyards, or really urban farming in general. Steven's techniques were pretty advanced back then, but now he's evolved as a person and a farmer and his garden game is on another level.

    Steven, I have been a huge fan since your first video. Your explanations are high caliber. You are a natural born teacher. I have learned such a lot from you , as you are one of the very best problem solvers out there. My favourite video was the well considered D E S I G N of your chicken coup. To see the passion fruit shading and mitigating heat and cold, and multiplying your production yield is the icing on the cake. I am sure Bill Mollison would have loved it. Here in Sydney I visited a permaculture (rental). An Avocardo tree was growing out of the chicken run which was on the boundary of three inner city houses. The tree was laden with hass avocados at 4 years (not supposed to start fruiting for 6 or 7 years) , thanks to the chicken poop. The avocardo was shading the chicken house roof. I also really liked the videos you made explaining what you wanted and how you did it....soil prep and irrigation as you started your farming life.
    Well done with repurposing beer waste streams and your new green house and all those experiments. Congratulations on all your achievements Steven. Regards Sez

      @1000jamesk 2 года назад

      @@LucyJazzy85 Late to the conversation, but it seems like the plants were adapted to growing in sandy and free-draining soil, while your yard's soil might have been too heavy or compacted for them, so the roots couldn't get enough oxygen and rotted away. You would probably get much better results if you planted passion fruit seeds in your yard, since they would adapt to that type of soil as they grew.

I am also going back to school for sustainability and organic gardening degree because of how we want to live and teach others. Keep up the great work!

      You can easily start in grow bags like he showed. There are various types that hang on walls or fences and off of balconies. I live with my father and have to get permission to put anything into the ground so, I am using raised garden beds and vertical grow bags and intermixing veggies with flowers so as to not look so much like a garden when the HOA police come around lol. Good luck to you, you can do this!

    Fantastic, every single element, so thought through and well researched....synergistic, multi purpose. I love your chicken coup design, the passion fruit shading. My passion fruit produced really well in it’s third year, and responded well to pruning (chop and drop). Having the chicken’s fertilising yours, possibly yours will bear earlier and you will have loads but it will need phosphorus, or all that nitrogen will put out a tonne of green growth.

    Hello. Thank you for all the help. One question. Do you get aphids anymore? I have a lot.

    he should really think about quail. They can be raised like compost chickens depending on the breed. they can also be sold as chicks if he wants to be a small scale hatchery. (we need more local hatch)
