I just figured out William (the permaculture consultant) is your son. Y'all did an excellent job raising him. Subbed to both channels.
Awesome! Thank you Viking!
We love William as well!
Dude William is the bomb! (well he's the baby bomb LOL) He's got some serious skillz not unlike Mom and Pop. I'm going to go and say it: this family here is a USA National Treasure ❤❤❤
Yes William is great to watch and very informative as is permapasturefarm21.
I didn't realize William had a channel. I've watched him grow up over the years. Going over to sub.
We have put in a permaculture orchard this year based on your work and Stefan's. We have one plum tree that's grown two feet. We've never seen results like these.
That is so awesome, my friend!
Loving your set up. I’ve started a good forest with a 5 year plan in mind. Thank you also for your military service. I also served which in my opinion has allowed me to see things like politics, gardening , home defense and so on, much differently than most. Thank you for being an encouragement!
Thank you so much for your vote of confidence Robert. Blessings to you and yours and may the good Lord bless your efforts!
Thank you for your service!!!
You’re very kind, thank you.
Different plants have different tolerances and reactions to black walnuts; some use it to protect themselves, others can’t survive. Different strokes for different folks applies across the board.
I totally agree, my friend!
I’m replicating this in a terraced suburban house in the east of London. Small front garden and in our little patch in the back. This can be done anywhere you want to do it. Billy brother, you are an inspiration 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, my friend! One day I would love to get over there and see it for myself!
Struggled growing blueberries until I discovered they love urine. Unless you eat crazy amounts of veggies your urine is usually acidic. And it's full of NPK and other goodies. You're welcome 😁
Great walk through. Everything is looking great and what everyone needs to understand it doesn’t happen overnight. Been on my property for almost a year now and just now seeing a bit of a change myself. Prayers to you all ❤
My prayers to you as well, my friend. It’s so awesome to hear that you are off and running!
I absolutely LOVE this video and look forward to more of them showing your food forests and gardens. These vids are the reason I found you in the first place.
Would LOVELOVELOVE to see more of your gardens and orchards and even more of your food forests. (We are doing just this in our suburban homestead, and take all this inspiration and plant more as we go.)
Thanks so much for the inspiration
Thanks a million for the encouragement!
Don't you just LOVE it when you are inspecting things and you find all type of amazing things YOU (we) didn't plant? Amazing.
Planted sweet cherry twice...obviously didn't like.my spot -BUT my sour cherry is doing great. Roll with flow.
It’s like getting money from home without writing!
The production quality of this video is incredible! The example drop-in shots, the music at the beginning, the background of hills and zero traffic noise was just pastoral and idyllic. Who wouldn't want to lay on the ground there? 😊 I have a blooming elderberry after failing at one of the "easiest to grow plants" for the last 3 years, but I finally got it here! I am inspired to crank up the perennial herbs. I have cardboard and wood chipped part of the orchard and I think it's going to be the herb garden. Every shovelful of dirt has worms in it this year. Mushrooms hopping up all over the place, and rabbits love goldenrod, plantain, clover, dandelion and comfrey. They are getting beyond wonderful nutrition. Be blessed!
I am so excited for you, Amy!
I was digging my garden every year, rarely saw worms - now I no dig and already we have quite a few big fat ones :)
Now that’s what I’m talking about!
This was absolutely a blessing Billy! Love your statement about comparing beginnings to middles. Sometime I get discouraged and overwhelmed trying to make it all work but to hear you say you experiment with putting things in different places was reassuring and when it doesn’t work I shouldn’t worry about it. Just move forward and try again. Thank you and may all the blessings be with you and the family.
Thank you so much for the kind words Tamara! Just stay after it and you will be shocked at the results, my friend.
I equate this to my past, which was sustained airborne training. Which can be applied in basically the same was as you are saying in your videos. We are also planting fruit trees and such around our house for the long term future. AATW!
That’s what I’m talking about Darren! All the way Airborne!
Billy, thank you for all you do! I have a nice sized garden and orchard (visitors call it a store). The blueberries, blackberries, plums, heck everything is showing out! I saw some monarch butterflies fighting over 1 echinacea flower. Not sure why because I have literarily dozens of them! I also want to say, I bought your bone sauce a few months ago and I have not had any deer scat or deer prints in my garden day 1! I have already told a couple of ppl who asked me about deer. Hope they purchase it.
Thank you so much for your business and thank you for spreading the word!
It is such a joy to know that others are doing the same thing, my friend.
Would love to see more video's like this one! I like how you explain some things with a humorous twist, I also like when Michelle explains things she knows and observations on this big transformation of your property! I remember when y'all first moved to that property and what all you did to revive it! Great job! You 2 make a perfect team! May God continue to bless your hard work and prosper your homestead as you teach and inspire others to do the same!
Thank you so much for those kind words my friend. Blessings as always to you and yours!
It's exciting as a viewer to see, literally and figuratively, the abundant fruits of your labors. And it must be extremely rewarding for you and Michele, Billy. God bless.
It is incredibly rewarding, my friend! I absolutely love doing this.
Like blueberries, elderberries are nitrogen-fixing plants. They have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria called Frankia, which live in their roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. This can help improve the health and productivity of the surrounding plants, particularly those that are nitrogen-loving.
I've been looking to see what trees we might have in the UK that fix nitrogen.
I’m sure there are quite a few that most people think are useless
Oh thisvis SO helpful to actually do a walk through with y'all!❤ Thanks Billy! YESSSSSSS More videos like this please 😊
Thank you so much for your vote of confidence Missie!
I am at the start with just 3 fruit trees planted new this year. Adding the berries and seabuckthorn soon. Only the 1 apple was on the property with comfrey, garlic and daffodils.
Thank you so much for all your video's you both make; especially about the food forest. I love to watch the evolution of your homestead and finding solutions.
Thank you so much for the kind words, my friend.
❤Your food forest is so awesome!! I'm getting so many good ideas from you, Michelle & William on his channel! Do you have asparagus growing? We will be planting our food forest in the ground in SouthEast Texas in the fall. Right now all our fruit trees, berry bushes, comfrey, asparagus, various veggies, herbs & flowers. Mimosa & Redbud, Vitex too. in mineral tubs.
I planted asparagus a couple years ago, but I haven’t seen any results. You just reminded me to do it again! Best wishes on your endeavors my friend!
Absolutely a dream come true. I pray that God will bless me to the extent that I can hire you guys to come help me design a system on my new property that will bless many others too! I Claim It In Jesus' Name! AMEN! Love You Guys! What a wonderful blessing you are to all of us!❤😊❤🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for the vote of confidence, Sonya. Blessings to you and yours on all that you do!
I’ve been using your same permaculture strategies in my back yard around my grass to grow fruit tree forest and micro native forest to great success. We love going around the yard with the kids and just grazing the edible landscape. Keep up the great inspiration.
You just made my day, Jeremy! Blessings to you and yours!
Nice Billy! I am doing like you all do but here in SC!!!!! You are spot on!😊
So awesome to hear from you, my friend! Best wishes on your journey.
Wonderful tour of your food forest. The Comfrey I got from you is loving it here in W. Michigan. One root got tossed into my raised bed and is a monster blooming in full sun.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for your business and thank you for the kind words, my friend!
Good job. Only issue was that your peach tree was too close to neighbor's . Leaves are poisonous to horses and donkeys. Cherry tree and red maple, etc. are too.
The cool thing is that these animals will stay away from anything that’s poisonous and great quantities as long as they have availability of something they can eat.
This might just be a good time to do videos like this and at this length about the different parts of yalls farm as a virtual farm tour since y'all are not at this point by ready to do in person tours. That's just my one cent of an opinion for what that might be worth. Thank you though for making and sharing this video with us. May y'all have a good one. Have fun take care
I think I will take your prescription, my friend!
Hey Billy. What is the hill slope *angle* that you need to switch from swales to terracing? Buying 7 acres and got fruit/nut trees to plant.
Generally, 15% is about the maximum.
Love this video! Hope to see more in the near future. I wonder if anyone would ever want to survey the area and conduct a study regarding the amount of wildlife areas like these sustain. Keep it up man. God bless
Geoff Lawton actually did that sort of thing down in Australia. Things they thought were extinct actually made a home at his place and I’m hoping to do the very same thing here.
How is the plum from Stephan S. visit adapting to your soil? Is it a Mont Royal?
It is indeed… and those things are blowing up around here. I am so excited about them!
So nice to see how you improved your property!
Thank you so much, my friend!
I love the river of physical sensations Papa designed into the things we grow.
It’s like the Almighty knew what he was doing!
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 it's incredible. How does a seed, know what to do???
Multiflora rose and callery pear are 2 things previous owners planted here. :(
My pear grafts failed but I'll try again next year.
Now that’s the spirit, Joshua!
I love food tours!!
I love doing them Jeannie! Thanks for watching!
Been here 3 summers and have yet to see a strawberry fruit, just flowers. Will try 2 other varieties of strawberries this spring.
Thanks for the great works you do sir
So very nice of you to say so my friend!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey, happy for you.❤❤❤🐷🐓
You are so welcome!
David the Good sent me
David is a wonderful guy!
My friend, I keep having this discussion with folks like you. I've been studying permaculture for over 15 years now, and even studied with Geoff Lawton PDC.
When you try to scale that for human consumption, the minute a single coyote poops in any of your harvest, the whole thing is scrapped.
There's this disconnect where people say you can grow whatever you want.
No, you cannot grow whatever you want, when your purpose is to grow for human consumption, whereby set food is intertwined into an agro food forestry system.
Loved the tour.
Goldenrod is a favorite for bee's, medicinal & a natural color dye. 😁
Sadly, most people think that it’s just plain awful.
@PermaPasturesFarm21 yep. I had no clue what they were when we first moved into our current property, so I cut them all day along with the grass. Killed them on one side of the ditch, but the other side has come back yr after yr. One of these yrs I'm going see if I can transplant some towards the back so bee's can have more place's & maybe break up the clover pollen a bit. Lol
Love the walk-throughs you do as well as love the long form content--it is like drinking through a fire hose of knowledge and provides amazing context and examples of what is possible. I'll be the first to enroll in Perma Pastures Academy of PIMPs!
Thank you so much, Zach!
Billy, I am on so much clay and limestone. Any suggestions on fixing the soil, without livestock. All my bushes and fruit trees get a double or triple the root ball size hole, with great mixed soil. some survive many die.
I notice where the dead plants come out, that have cardboard under mulch, I have lots of earthworms. Does laying cardboard down help on it's own?
I know you're very busy, I appreciate any input from The permaculture pimps or community.
Cardboard definitely helps a great deal, but it is enhanced with a very thick mulch.
I've learned a lot from y'all. My dad is actually impressed with how much I know now.
On a second note, I wonder if Rosemary would get rid of very strong garlic breath. 🤔
Hmmm… I would like to know that myself!
My husband & I rented a small house from his grandparents for 7 yrs. in the 90s, then bought the house. Part of the deal of cheap rent was that we mowed their lawn, shoveled their sidewalk & driveway, paid the property taxes & they never heard about a problem with the house or property. It was a good deal for both of us. Both properties had a lot of black walnut trees. The squirrels managed to make a mess out of them, and the lawn mower went through hell hitting one. The skins are so thick & hard. The trees were huge, but the nuts were never harvested for use. Grandparents have since passed away, we moved, but most of the trees are still there. The houses were next to each other. A friend bought our house & is taking good care of the place. Wood chips are a no no at our new place. We're in a high-risk fire area just inside city limits. How's the grandbaby?
Now that sounds like the perfect deal!
Thank you for this video you’re inspiring I would love to see more videos like this during the video you said you could spend 3hrs talking about the food forests I was thinking yes please 🤣🤣🤣
You are so welcome! I’ll see what I can do!
Can you please provide a link to where you bought the blue tree trainers (don’t know if this is accurate label)? I don’t know if I missed a video on them, but those look awesome for young fruit trees!!
So loving this walk-through. We have just under 3 acres and less than 1 acre devoted to food forest and annual gardens -the rest is wooded and sloped (not as steep as some of yours!). Lots of comfrey, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, peach, plum, apple, hardy kiwi, fig, so many herbs! Comfrey EVERYWHERE!
We started 3 years ago after meeting you and Michelle at Self-Reliance in Camden, TN. Thanks to you, we now believe we will be able to eat after we retire!!! (5 years)
Am LOVING young William’s channel (love seeing how much he is just like you) bout died laughing at his recent video response to a vegan……
I bought them so long ago that I’m not sure I could find a link. If you look on Amazon, you should be able to find them.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 thanks - I did look before asking, but wasn’t successful. I’ll rack my brain for better search vernacular
Yarrow flowers smell like real raw honey to me! So many amazing plants out there, I feel like they all need a place to grow on our property so they are available when needed.
I know that our animals love it as well!
Everything grows fine around my black walnut trees. You just have to watch the leaves in the fall.
It seems those trees are highly maligned!
Looks great Billie. Your comfrey is also growing at my place. for my chickens.
Thank you so much for your business and thank you for the kind words, my friend!
U don't propagate any of the trees u like so u don't have 2 buy them? I'm trying it now and things are looking good.. I got trees from recent storms for free.
How did you get the wormwood? Did you buy a plant or did you sow seed? If you sewed the seed, did it have to go through cold stratification first?
I think Michelle bought it somewhere and just replanted it at home.
A mimosa is a nitrogen fixer right? Can they be used the same as the black locust pollarding every year?
You are absolutely correct on both counts Missy! Most people think they are a nuisance, but if use correctly, they can be absolutely beneficial!
I love seeing how passionate you are about permaculture, it's contagious!
Great video❤
Following your guidance at my home! It really is exciting to watch it grow
I’m so excited for you, my friend!
I want to be like Billy and Michelle when i grow up. (Lol I'm probably older than them)
It makes me almost as happy to see your food forest as it makes you.
I get the same happiness when i go to my garden.🌱🌱🌱💜🐔🙏🏼💪🏽
Just want to say Thank you. Love yall's videos, always so informative!
Thank you so much for your kind words, my friend!
Excellent video. I want my 50 acres in Oklahoma to look like this some day.
You can do it!
You gonna make some absinthe out of that wormwood? could be a fun little experiment
I might have to do that one of these days!
I was wondering about your blueberries were always told that they like acidic soil do you add anything to help with the acidity or is it a case of what will be will be
Awesome video. Keep 'em coming. Please and Thank you!
Fun fact: yarrow is a great medicinal herb for women.
It is indeed!
3:52. Looky there......Is that one of your natural criminal deterrents growing up the tree?? lol
Bam! Great eyes my friend!
Natural criminal deterrent? Please educate my ignorant eyes.
I'm guessing Chris is talking about the poison ivy.
@@vickisavage8929 poison ivy growing in the tree.
@@lisascheibmeir300 You are CORRECT.
Its awesome to see just how lush it is where the chicken tractor on steroids was last year.
Thank you my friend!
Love your passion Billy ❤
Thank you so much, my friend!
He definitely motivates me to keep planting and keep trying.
Looks really good! Y'all have improved the property so much in a short time.
All credit goes to the Almighty my friend. Thank you so much!
I’m in love with your property you guys are so blessed
Thank you so much, my friend! These mountains are definitely tough to work in… But so satisfying.
Excellent video - Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
at$50 per tree I can't afford to fail and replant!
Praying you get to buy that land by you Billy
I noticed you standing very close to a tree with lots of Posion IVY growing on it. I assume you are not allergic to it.
I could practically eat the stuff… But I won’t be taking any chances.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 I do believe I can walk by it and get it on me.
Inspiring stuff right here! Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
great info, I love learning from you
Lots of fun seeing this overview.
Thank you as always, my friend!
Your enthusiasm shows!😊
We have huge black walnuts in the edge of our wood line that gives shade throughout the day where we would like to adopt the syntropic design but are concerned about what will grow in the constant shade and underneath the large walnut trees. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
It’s tough to advise concerning those trees. I would just experiment and see what does well.
great job !!! love it !!!!!
If this ain’t the most PIMPin’ RUclips channel, I don’t know what is 😎
Thank you so much, my friend!
Where do you get your espalier trainers?
I found them on Amazon a while ago. I wish I had a link for you.
Places that sell fruit trees have them as well.
One more thing that I need to learn about. lol
Super interesting!
Glad you think so!
What do u do with your tree cuttings? This is the 1st of your videos ive seen good stuff mann.
I usually chop them up at the base of the trees and leave them there unless I’m dealing with black locust.
Thank you so much for checking us out!
Billie - are the mushrooms edible? I hesistate eating "wild" mushrooms - not knowing if it is safe or not.
Great perspectives man, your visions are growing right before your eyes! Mine too, thanks to passionate inspiration from folks like you!
Thank you so much for the vote of confidence, my friend! Blessings to you and yours!
Does comfrey and borage provide same benefits?
They definitely look similar, but they provide varying medicinal benefits.
good video
Thanks for the visit!
Do you spray your peach trees for brown rot and the plum curculio beetle? I’ve found mo realistic organic way to protect my fruit trees from these things.
It looks a little snakey, but I still believe in nature!
We don’t really have any trouble with them. In fact, we rarely see any at all.
Great tour video! Love the energy and passion you have.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Have you ever looked into natural taurine's effects on plants? There's much more info I could give, let me know if you're interested. God bless
Watching this is so encouraging. We just cleared out a bunch of trees and using some of the cedar as post for our 50’50 garden/food forest. We are also figuring out how to build a swale and pond next to it for fruiting trees. When that happens we will be buying bone sauce from you . Thanks for the tour; love to see more.
I’m so glad these videos are helpful Colleen. Blessings to you and yours on your journey!
love seeing how things fit together
Thank you so much! I’ll try to go into greater detail when I do the food Forest.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 thanks
U don't propagate any of the trees u like so u don't have 2 buy them? I'm trying it now and things are looking good.. I got trees from recent storms for free.
I keep wondering what would do well in the green strip in the middle of a gravel driveway?
Strawberry might be short enough. Sage would smell great as the Buick pruned it. Has anyone tried it?
Now that is definitely thinking outside the box, my friend! I love it!
It’s also a great space to allow the ground-feeding birds like doves to plant and harvest low-growing seeds. But oil leaks and other pollution can be an issue on a heavily used road.
Good point about the oil.
Woodpecker what???
Lips
This was a great video, Billy & Michelle! This longform video is VERY helpful.
I’m glad you think so my friend. These are difficult in terms of time, but they seem to be quite helpful.
I loved this video, y’all! Loved getting a tour of the orchard. Keep showing us. We love it. Thanks!
Thank you! Will do!
How far apart are your trees planted?
Where do you get your tree trainers?
I got them on Amazon, but I’m not sure they work as well as I’d like.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 ok. Cinder blocks and wornout pantyhose ties it is
Thank you Billy! To walk through and see the artistic vision that appears so randomly, but be educated on why or how something is growing where it is - Magnificent! We have been doing some comparison planting in our garden (and outside it) this year and BY FAR the things "planted wild" are seeming to grow much better than those in choreographed rows and mulch. I'm so glad we decided to try some of the permaculture practices you've shared with us!
It’s such a joy to know that others like yourself are actually doing this stuff!
How many people heard about this wonderful man and farm from NATHAN?
Thank you so much for the vote of confidence, my friend!
Why do you pull the goldenrod? I am growing it everywhere for its medicinal uses and for Autumn food for my pollinators.
I only remove it from the orchard, but I allow it to grow everywhere else.
Looking great!
Thank you very much!
