I truly adore your Work, Terri. This Idea with the Lasagne beds ist ingenious: to Bring soil on top of a Stone bed. Perhaps i shall Join you one day, because my neighbors Here in hungary are behaving with disrespect. For me IT IS better to be autonomous with english (although i have to practise a Lot all the medicinal names and plant names). I Wish you a Lot of luck with your Task of Humus creating. How lovely! With my best wishes for you and your beloved ones. Katharina
Lovely to get a Summer Solstice post, Terri. These are amazingly resourceful ideas. I love the way you use what you have to hand rather than running off to the garden centre. I hope your trees recover!
I don't know why but I always ignored the lasagna garden before this video. I didn't know you used more than o e cardboard layer and I didn't fully grasp the fact that you can grow on top of bad soil. Very good of you do post this. Thanks!
What a wonderful garden (as you call it), more like a huge field with the atlantic in the background, so envy you your life, very creative, hard working, relaxed natured lady. So pleased that I discovered your videos, keep them coming. X
A great video Terri - lots of innovative ideas! I always love the way you "show us" rather than just "tell us" - its so much more informative than presenting us with a "fait accompli" pinterest style pictures. Thank you for the books - I have been enjoying reading about all the weeds. And finally, I must comment on Jazz's little pal - not sure if you introduced him/her before, but talk about a cutie!
I’ve planted some potatoes in a 3 year old wood chip pile and I’m excited to see they’re thriving - first time I’ve tried this - I just have a few tubs I usually grow in .. enjoy your videos.. 🙋♀️from Yorkshire UK
Your property is so beautiful. I'm your desert city dwelling fan, BUT, lasagna gardening is totally going to work for me ! Thank you very much for all the advice and inspiration. ( your furry children are lovely ) 💜🐾💜
I think lasagne gardening will be perfect for you. Seeing as you are in the desert, take a look at Jeff Lawton "Greening the Desert" - a little film on YT.
I really love listening to you Terri, you are so full of wonderful knowledge, wisdom and lots of amazing ideas that we can all experience. Thank you so much.
So Happy I found this video!!! I live in NL Canada and my land is very similar to yours. Near the ocean, lot's of wind & rocks. Barely any soil. I feel inspired that I can create soil on my land and work with nature using permaculture principles.
I love this idea. I have been trying to figure out a way to make new beds that are easier for me to handle. This looks like a great alternative for me at my age.
How wonderful & informative your videos are Teri...The potato established lasagne bed looked Amazing really healthy. I have 2 tree stumps in my garden I'm promptly going to turn them into growing mounds. Absolutely adore the New addition in Yours & Jazz's life...what a cutie 🐶💞🐕💞Can I ask her name? Or his 🥰 Beautiful To see my Ancestral Home Again Thank You 💚☘💚
Your land looks healthy. It’s interesting to listen to how you are learning to read the conditions to plant and create. I’m reminded of Derek Jarman and his rock garden in Dungeness. Somethings grew some were burnt etc. Beth charro has a superb dry garden in Elmstead and she was friends with Derek. The lasagna garden is such a good idea and Geoff who you mentioned is a great inspiration. Thank you.
I am impressed with your ideas and great job. Idol!!! I just find your channel and suscribe. I will copy your lasagne and hügelkulture. Those I can do without help. Thank you very much for sharing. Greetings from the south of Chile
Yep hugelkultur.... speaking of balcony... you could put a couple of logs and wood chips and other organic material in a storage bin ... I have five bins like that now... they’ve been working out great... I’m making more... and I’m raising them up on concrete blocks and two by fours so the tops are at tabletop height... I’m also experimenting with farmer Leon self wicking containers ... I have collected all the materials for those except the actual bins and soil ... in a couple weeks I will probably do four more and will slowly build from there... but both of these are great for balconies... especially the farmer Leon self wicking containers ... depending on the size of your balcony of course ... most people could put a couple of them on their balconies
You're channeling the energy of Findhorn! Soon you'll have roses blooming in the winter. Your spirit is bringing life to land that was barren. I hope to meet you both if/when I can get back to Ireland. For now, RUclips will have to suffice. Happy Solstice! =)
It is such a good way to make beds. Not my idea, a permaculture method. I would suggest putting stones or wooden edges around the beds to hold them together.
I'm wondering if due to the wind and salt you might consider planting evergreens as a backdrop shelterbelt? It's so interesting to learn about lasagna layering. Fascinating to see how this composes down into a rich ecosystem ready for planting. Have a blessed solstice dear Terri. Your pups are adorable. Have a lovely weekend.
Ha ha! We ran before we could walk hence we are still putting in shelter beds. Our problem is that there is no depth to the soil in many places and we have lost a big shrub due to one of the winter storms so it is an ongoing struggle. A blessed Solstice to you too.
Hi Terri, so glad you have discovered Jeff Lawton, he is an incredible man full of knowledge and an amazing organic vege grower, his methods are simple and it’s a pity more people don’t follow him . Good luck with both the Hugelkulture and lasagne growing - I use both methods and both produce abundant crops . Just one thing to be aware of is Hugelkulture is a German idea from hundreds of years ago. Regards Pete
Thanks Peter. Lasagne beds are the only way we can grow here because the land is so stony. First time using Hugelkulture. Thanks for the info about it. Blessings on you and hope you have an abundant year this year.
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden thanks Terri. It’s a difficult year to say the least. We normally have really good yields but this year we have “la Nina “ a weather event which creates a very wet cooler summer here in Australia. At this late stage of the season I have dozens & dozens of tomatos but very few red ones. Garden practices either good or bad pale into insignificance when “ Mother Nature steps in . Hopefully it will improve a little and Ill still reap a late crop. Good luck with yours. Regards Pete
@@peterreidy6094 We get "el Ninio" now and again which brings very grey skies and wind and rain. I thought it came up from the Gulf of Mexico on the Atlantic Gulf Stream!!?? And you get something similar in Australia. Same thing happens here, things grow but do not ripen. It's a bummer. By the way, have you seen Bill Mollison's Whale story? I think it is on YT and well worth a watch. 😀
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden hi Terri , I don’t believe I have seen Bills whale story but I have seen other online info he has put out . We also get El Niño and when we do it often means drought and subsequent bushfires - pretty much always a terrible combination - temps often into the high 40’s C during ElNino . Like I said earlier, when Mother Nature takes control it doesn’t matter what you do in the garden, she will decide the outcome . Watching you shovel loads of seaweed onto your garden made me very envious as seaweed gathering in OZ, well here in Victoria where I live, it is banned ie not legal. I mainly use wood chips and horse manure + all the branches, sticks and logs I can find. My Hugel beds are almost 5 yrs old now an$ the soil is beautiful - I’m quite proud . Anyway I better go, I apologise for rambling on . Kind regards Pete.
I've been making lasagne beds for five years now, the soil is amazing. It's such a good use of cardboard and grass. It's lovely to see you building one. That's very interesting about the lemon trees growing in the huggel? Bed. What hedging tolerates salt winds? Keep up the good work😊
The lemon tree in the Hugel bed was above the snow line in the Austrian alps!!!. The hedging used in this coastal area is hawthorn, Olearea, Griselinia and Escallonia. Alder trees also grow well.
Some people use horse manure as heating mater, specially in glass houses and foil tunnels or just outside. BUT it has to be separated from plants and soil, because it is so strong, that it will burn the plants.👴
Hi Sandra, the Wise Woman Training is available online and if restrictions don't lift sufficiently I will be offering my herbal medicine courses on line too. thakns for asking.x
I have huge respect for the work you are doing Terri. You have achieved so despite the harsh conditions.
Thank you. My only regret is that we didn't put a proper shelter belt in in the beginning. But it is all coming on. Blessings!

You too Ramya, thanks. Hope your weather is more settled than ours.
Lovely to get a Summer Solstice post, Terri. These are amazingly resourceful ideas. I love the way you use what you have to hand rather than running off to the garden centre. I hope your trees recover!
Thanks Lyn. We do like to recycle and the garden centre is 60 miles away! There are signs that the trees are recovering thank Goddess.
Thankyou for sharing, Enjoy Solstice! Ontario Canada 🐝

You really are sooo thoughtful and kind. You feel your plants when they suffer. You are a special person
Thank you Jackie, I do feel hurt when plants suffer.
I thought I had difficult conditions to garden in! You must have amazing resilience.
Obstinacy and we love it!
Fantastic work and good results...creating a wonderful garden!

Glad to hear that. Solstice Blessings to you too.
This is awesome I we have a raised bed i need to fill for winter 👍
Lovely! Does the paint and the glue in the cardboard matter?
I remove all plastic tape and I don't worry about the inks
Love your lasagna beds. Does this affect the amount of slugs and snails?x
Not that I have noticed
🙋🙋🙋🙋
Some people use horse manure as heating mater, specially in glass houses and foil tunnels or just outside. BUT it has to be separated from plants and soil, because it is so strong, that it will burn the plants.👴
Unless it has sat and aged for a year or so.
When using the cardboard, what about the inks used on the board. Some toxic, some not?
Inks are not toxic anymore, soya based usually.
Are you offering your course online this year?
