Jess, God has used you in my life in unbelievable ways. We bought our bare 30 acres right after you. We put our garden in right after you. Just this morning we were discussing our thoughts for the orchard. I’m so blessed for you sharing your wisdom and encouragement. It has shaped me tremendously.
That is awsome. I started to follow Jess and Miah when I was still living in the big city. Little I knew I am going to move to a property in the country. Since then thanks to Jess I ate my own tomatoes and capsicums. Slowly growing other things and we are just about to put a long swell behind the house to slow down the gushing water from behind the hill. She is amaizing young lady. Good luck with your growing home. Nice to know you are on the similar path as Jess.
Years ago, so many that I don’t remember the source, I read a book where the author was talking about her father’s orchard in the spring. He had planted many apple trees - several types, cherry trees around them, and peach trees around them. She said that in the springtime the mature orchard looked like a quilt - all pink and white. She said her daddy had designed the orchard with that vision in mind. ❤️
Yes it’s amazing how Jordan and Saudi are creating excellent examples of dedesertification these past 10-15 years. Palestinians have been offered multiple £billions as encouragement to do same to become sustainable AND crop exporters. Loving how folk are getting on with permaculture behind the “scenes”….
Will, we appreciate you so much for showing us this process while Jess is taking it easy. I have been so interested in this process, and I greatly appreciate you sharing it with with us. :) Jess, we appreciate you showing us what listening to your body looks like and loving yourself looks like. It is something rarely shown in our society.
You won't have to mow around the trees if you plant "guilds" around the trees permaculture/ food forest style. Comphrey, garlic, blueberries, pest prevention plants, edible ground covers, like strawberries, etc. They work together and provide more food😊
The best swales, burmes video- tiny shiny home in the desert. They had an expert who measures the land to divert water and the community planted about 100 trees in the sides of the depression they dug out. The roots get the water perfectly! The family work together and named each tree after the donors, took pictures of each tree and sent to everyone who help buy and plant! WOW!
I live in the drought stricken southwest, we’ve been in severe drought for 25 years and counting. Water is so precious, you’re absolutely right, we do need to optimize our resources!
There is a design in permaculture called the net and pan poly culture. It helps to slow down the flow of water during rain. Each pan flows into the next. Helping each fruit tree catch the water. I’m so excited to see your orchard going in Jess ❤
So cool to see you taking about Edible Acres and Twisted tree that are local to us and have been great examples and resources for our budding homestead! A small world.
We just put in our new food forest, and the steeper bits we couldn't get the tiller to, we did that pit/mini berm thing and alternated them along the rows so water that runs between the trees on the first line will hit a pit on the next row and so on. I love watching the development of your land!
Wil is such a blessing! I thank God that he has surrounded you with caring people. You in turn bless us with your sweet spirit. God bless you all. I am praying for you and your family.
Jo Hubbard…if you will use black plastic sewer pipe about 18 to 24 inches high around the bottoms of your fruits trees or any tree…. it will prevent anything eating the bark off of them. Also you can weed eat around the bottom of them. Make sure to split from the top to the bottom of the pipe so once they get big enough, the pipe can taken off and reused. You won’t need to fence them 😊this way.
Jess, I wanted to let you know about some long gardening gloves called “Fox Gloves” that I’ve found really helpful for my skin. I get the “Elle” elbow length style with grips. They’re expensive, but they last a long time and wash up well. Just don’t get them tangled up in velcro like I did with some velcro tomato wrap. 🙈 Also, I’d pay attention to the sizing - I have small hands (4.5 ring size, usually a XS or S) but I take a medium with Fox Gloves. Hope this helps someone!
I have Lupus and the sun and heat bother me tremendously. Being in the sun causes swelling and skin lesions… it’s a joy. I’m feeling your pain with the eczema flare up. I look so silly, but I keep a beach umbrella on hand and when I need to go out and garden, or exist anywhere in the sun, I take my beach umbrella with me. It’s a pain, and it’s not 100%, but it is so much better.
Jackie, I will pray for you. I had LUPUS. GOD has BLESSED ME. HE HEALED ME in the 1980's. I was so sick. Took years to figure it out with a simple blood test. I had LUPUS in my upper respiratory. Could NOT WALK. I had a CHOICE Say a few words or take a breathe. Breath. I PRAY FOR YOU IN JESUS'S NAME AMEN FROM S E MICHIGAN.🀄🀄🀄🌹🥀❤️🀄🌹🥀❤️👍🤟
You are so blessed to have Will and Taylor as such an important part of the building of Roots and Refuge Farm! I’m going to subscribe to their channel!! ❤️❤️
I ordered a Damson Plum tree from Stark Bros. to plant in my yard quite a while ago. It was out of stock for a while but I finally got it. My son planted it a few months ago. If you've never heard of it, it has dark purple smallish fruits with a pit. My grandmother had one in her yard when I was a young girl (i am almost 62). They make the most delicious preserves...one of my favorites!
We had one in our garden when we lived in England...still love them! Planning to add a dwarf one here, the standard size can take a very long time to produce.
I’m giddy for you. I’ve made all my spaces into my waiting rooms and........ farm might might might be coming soooooooon! Your place is my inspiration... that and epic gardens..and Charles of course.
Thanks Will and Jess. I like that you slow down, think about it, educate yourself on it, prepare it etc.. I love your stewardship of the land! Be well Jess you have some awesome helpers.
I've heard the pits and mini swales called bunds before, in videos of the regreening projects going on in parts of Africa. Can't wait to see the orchard grow 😍
We have an established orchard of apples and peaches from when my grandparents lived on the property. We just started our journey. I’m hoping to have just 1 garden like yours eventually. Thanks for all the knowledge.
Now that is exciting! Will, great job. Just subscribed. Really looking forward to your videos. Jess you are already looking better and I can really see you releasing some stress and giving it over to God. I can see your energy returning and your light brightening. We will keep the prayers coming! 😊
Maybe the method you are using to plant those fruit trees can be called "the Cup & Saucer method"? That's what springs to mind for me anyway. I have a fairly steep south-facing slope to the small area part-way down the hill where I had to build a dry creek bed to channel runoff. I have that area planned for my mini-fruit orchard (about 2/3 acre) of dwarf trees. I was considering terracing it, then thought about the swales (same issues with mowing came to my mind, and it's already just a touch challenging due to the slope), but wasn't really feeling it either way. This idea actually feels right for my situation, and being a 60-something woman with limited help available for such tasks, it is also something I can physically accomplish this Autumn. YAY! Thank you for sharing this! Please remember that the time you spend in healing yourself now will pay dividends in the future. Sending continued hope for the blessing of healing, dear child. Hugs from Texas.
The first I heard about Swales was last year from The Weedy Garden on RUclips. His mentor was Geoff Lawton. You might want to check it out. Also his cinematography is amazing.
Hey Jess ♡ big fan♡ you're one of my "reality tv shows" :) I check everyday to see if you've done a video lol :) My question is this - tips on trying to count the cost to get an idea of what kind of budget I need to plan on for my homestead... do I just look around at the websites and see how much electric fences cost and chicken houses and high tunnels and green houses? Do you have anything that people generally dont know to include as a cost? I'm trying to create a plan"while waiting in my classroom" ;) and I am ordering your new book! So excited !! :) blessings on you and yours!!
I look forward to your videos every sing day. Almost as if you were a Netflix show 😂 You really have inspired me to start my own channel and help people garden. You don’t know me but I love you! Haha ❤
I will definitely go subscribe to Will and Taylor’s(also my daughters name) channel. That was very sweet of him to video that today and he did great. Pray that you are feeling better ❤
Thank you! I am planning some orchards, but on very different land, but the principles are the same, thank you! Also, I lived so much of my life on steroids, and now, doing the autoimmune diet, but I have a hard time with creams; I made some from a new recipe, it is 1/2 cup shea butter, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 30 drops of lavender, 5 drops of tea tree oil, and optional, 5 drops of myrrh or geranium essential oil (I didn't have myrrh, so used frankincense, we'll see) and 1 tbsp, a big one, of local honey (I got Manuka honey for it's additional healing properties, so I used that). I have done not as hot showers, and I air dry instead of toweling, then apply this cream. On bad days, nights, I wear evening gloves, they go to the elbow; some days I have worn them also. Hope this isn't too long, and that it is helpful, God bless you
Do you intend to plant Hickory Nut Trees? Or maybe the question should be will they actually grow there? I am in Michigan and we had a Hickory Nut Tree on our farm and I don't remember anyone else who had a tree like this but my grandmother ha d a recipe and made a cake with Hickory Nuts in the frosting, we called them Hickory Cakes. That is a one of a kind type of cake and frosting. Fantastic and Delicious. And on cold winter nights the entire family sat around our wood stove and picked Nut meats from those Hickory Nuts. It is a lot of work to pick Nut meats from Hickory Nuts. It's not the same a picking Pecans or Walnuts etc. because the size of the Nut is so small. But, to me it just seems like the South would not be the South without families sitting around in circles picking Hickory Nut Meats from the Nuts of a Hickory Tree. To me if anyone would be doing this it would be your farm your family. And I'm interested in knowing. Thank you for sharing all you share and teaching so much of what you teach. God Bless you always.
Aside from planting grafted varieties, don’t be afraid to save some of those grocery store peach pits, apple seeds, etc. and toss those into the mix. It’s a game of roulette but that’s how new varieties are formed!
My suburban house is on a slope so I put in a hugel/bioswale on one end as a water catchment and fun project. Been drought here for three years so far, glad I did it. Did not take long at all! Great video, I hope it encourages others to consider permaculture features for their yards.
Jess not sure if you have heard of Allan Savory?? He is amazing!! If everyone lived, just a little bit, like him our world would be so much more exceptional. His knowledge for the land is mind blowing. He has done of lot of work with Desertification....with great results.
That was so good. Planing is everything. I do live on the side of a hill and water gushing down and goes under the house (house is on legs). I had somebody suggesting to do similar things but in a long cross way behind the house. I am waiting for a trady to come and dig it out. Last night we had 73mm rain. Water standing everywhere. Thank you for this video very informative. 🤩🤩🤩
My fruit trees have been best established after planting in mid to late fall here 45 min northeast of Charlotte. They do fantastic the next year and don't suffer from shock at all. Even after being shipped.
Thank you for this snippet of Will and how he works n helps the family/community you n Myah have created. I wish I lived closer to you and your family/community. You know it’s like where I come from. In Hawai’i everybody
From pretty much anywhere in the world becomes Aunty and Uncle’s, this is how it is here. And here family is called “Ohana”. Love your content always. God bless you with lots of love, Aloha🌺🥰
Great video always. Love that Roots and Refuge shirt in purple! 💜. Can't wait to check out Will's channel, Which is getting ready to blow up, I'm pretty sure! 🌱 I love that you help others growth while you are still growing. It's a beautiful web, life. 🕸️
Brilliant idea, those fruit trees are gonna love it. I recon for what u are building, pits and swales is the perfect name for it. But they are like mini swales and berms. Also, according to a recent video that Danny from Deep South Homestead posted the grass is not an issue, just shoot the grass clippings toward the mound. I love watching you building your Homestead. I BLESS you, sweet lady.
Love seeing the progress on the orchard. I will have to try the pit swales for my orchard I started this year. It has a good slope. I was thinking of just doing a small channel in front of the mulch but the pit may be better. Thanks for the idea!
Jess, God has used you in my life in unbelievable ways. We bought our bare 30 acres right after you. We put our garden in right after you. Just this morning we were discussing our thoughts for the orchard. I’m so blessed for you sharing your wisdom and encouragement. It has shaped me tremendously.

I love you Jess! " Look my ducks are in a row!" This cracked me up when you said it to Will! I hope you know you're appreciated and loved!

That must be very beautiful!
Fantastic
Those pit and burms are being used in the Sahara fringes to attempt reforesting and creating land to grow stuff! Just an interesting fact for y’all 😊
Yes it’s amazing how Jordan and Saudi are creating excellent examples of dedesertification these past 10-15 years. Palestinians have been offered multiple £billions as encouragement to do same to become sustainable AND crop exporters.
Loving how folk are getting on with permaculture behind the “scenes”….
I hope it works
@@Wicked_urban_garden they have had success. Mostly small villages, so growing their own foods &establishing droit resistant trees
Thank you
“My ducks are in a row!”-Girl, you crack me up!
Will, we appreciate you so much for showing us this process while Jess is taking it easy. I have been so interested in this process, and I greatly appreciate you sharing it with with us. :)

Similar to practices seen in India and African water strategies for slopes. Its important to learn how to sequester water. 👏🇨🇦
I live in the drought stricken southwest, we’ve been in severe drought for 25 years and counting. Water is so precious, you’re absolutely right, we do need to optimize our resources!
Like that term "sequester" ! 😊
Edible Acres channel is another of my favourites. Sean is an amazing soul and generous teacher. Highly recommended.
I love Edible Acres and Akiva Silver’s youtube channels!
There is a design in permaculture called the net and pan poly culture. It helps to slow down the flow of water during rain. Each pan flows into the next. Helping each fruit tree catch the water. I’m so excited to see your orchard going in Jess ❤
Will seems to be a wealth of knowledge and seems to add a lot of value to your farm. What a blessing, especially for a time such as this.
🎶 Like a tree planted by the waaattter! I'm glad you wrote Swale in the title because I was hearing 'swell'.
So cool to see you taking about Edible Acres and Twisted tree that are local to us and have been great examples and resources for our budding homestead! A small world.
Drought resistance with the pit berms, and pest control with the geese. Solid methods...looking forward to watching your orchard develop.
Good morning everyone happy Friday morning and I loved your sunset views and you all amazing
We just put in our new food forest, and the steeper bits we couldn't get the tiller to, we did that pit/mini berm thing and alternated them along the rows so water that runs between the trees on the first line will hit a pit on the next row and so on. I love watching the development of your land!

We have officially dropped below 50 tonight. Glad you are able to hold off the cooler weather there. 🙏🏻
I’m so excited to see some bigger channels talking about Akiva’s work. Glad to see the start of this and where it goes from here.

This is really smart. Your guy Will is very on top of his game. Trees span a large area with their "feeder" roots. This is smart planting.
I love seeing and hearing the ducks and geese in the background😁
Finally you're looking at swales. You have a good guy there.
I have Lupus and the sun and heat bother me tremendously. Being in the sun causes swelling and skin lesions… it’s a joy. I’m feeling your pain with the eczema flare up.

Will did a great job. Look forward to following his channel. Keeping you in thoughts and prayers Jess.
It will look wavy from above! 😃🙏🥰❤️. Jill tells a dad joke and Will is unimpressed. I loved it.
I got my “First-Time Homesteader" book today!
I ordered a Damson Plum tree from Stark Bros. to plant in my yard quite a while ago. It was out of stock for a while but I finally got it. My son planted it a few months ago.

Glad you found this guy…and he’s great with videos 😃!
Pit swales . . . an interesting term. All part of the endless know how of homesteading headmistress Jess.
Tiny shiny home just had a fella come in and do the swales etc... they live in the desert and it made a great difference... can't wait for your video
This is a great plan! Can't wait to see it all in process. God bless,
I've heard the pits and mini swales called bunds before, in videos of the regreening projects going on in parts of Africa. Can't wait to see the orchard grow 😍
So thankful for team work . What a blessing ❤🙏
Awe we can hear what yall are saying love the animals interactions you say..
It woos the💓
Good work Will- that takes patience.
You’re building the next GARDEN OF EDEN”. Thanks for bringing me along ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Apparently, RUclips algorithms now think I should take a vacation to Greece each time I watch Jess…. And plant a hedge! 😄
It's something in your Google Account, check your Settings.
Excellent idea and Thank you WILL for your extra help and taking care of Jess..
We just planted 12 trees with using this method. Im excited to see the progress with your project.
Bless you Jess
I love seeing how you are planning your orchard. We have a mini orchard that we put in three years ago. We're hoping for some fruit next spring. :)
Will is so comfortable filming.
Bean shaped swales- lovely bean field from the air 😍
We have an established orchard of apples and peaches from when my grandparents lived on the property. We just started our journey. I’m hoping to have just 1 garden like yours eventually. Thanks for all the knowledge.
I love how the "pit swells" look like the moon!!!
Love all the noise🐑🐂🐮🐈🐱🦝🐣
Wow that was a huge pear!
Can't wait till the planting will be beautiful
Will did a great job.
Now that is exciting! Will, great job. Just subscribed. Really looking forward to your videos.
Jess you are already looking better and I can really see you releasing some stress and giving it over to God. I can see your energy returning and your light brightening. We will keep the prayers coming! 😊

The first I heard about Swales was last year from The Weedy Garden on RUclips. His mentor was Geoff Lawton. You might want to check it out. Also his cinematography is amazing.
Look at the Orchard coming to be!! Very cool! You've waited over a year to start this! That'll be beautiful!!

Beautiful. I’m so excited that I received your new book! I love it! Of corse I had to go look at all the pictures first 😂 I’m enjoying
Great Plans for the Future Orchard Jess and Will 👍.
It looks Great already😊.
Will is definitely a Blessing 🐦.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
Hi, Jess, Mia and family!!!
This is fascinating. Thank you for sharing. I have only seen the long berm/swale concept. This is applicable in so many other situations.
Great job Will! Thanks for teaching us!
I think Will did a great job and was very thorough!
I look forward to your videos every sing day. Almost as if you were a Netflix show 😂
You really have inspired me to start my own channel and help people garden.
You don’t know me but I love you! Haha ❤
Same ❤
Great job Will!
I will definitely go subscribe to Will and Taylor’s(also my daughters name) channel. That was very sweet of him to video that today and he did great. Pray that you are feeling better ❤
Cool! Don't forget the support species for those trees!
Thank you! I am planning some orchards, but on very different land, but the principles are the same, thank you!
Also, I lived so much of my life on steroids, and now, doing the autoimmune diet, but I have a hard time with creams; I made some from a new recipe, it is 1/2 cup shea butter, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 30 drops of lavender, 5 drops of tea tree oil, and optional, 5 drops of myrrh or geranium essential oil (I didn't have myrrh, so used frankincense, we'll see) and 1 tbsp, a big one, of local honey (I got Manuka honey for it's additional healing properties, so I used that). I have done not as hot showers, and I air dry instead of toweling, then apply this cream. On bad days, nights, I wear evening gloves, they go to the elbow; some days I have worn them also. Hope this isn't too long, and that it is helpful, God bless you
Do you intend to plant Hickory Nut Trees? Or maybe the question should be will they actually grow there?
I am in Michigan and we had a Hickory Nut Tree on our farm and I don't remember anyone else who had a tree like this but my grandmother ha d a recipe and made a cake with Hickory Nuts in the frosting, we called them Hickory Cakes. That is a one of a kind type of cake and frosting. Fantastic and Delicious. And on cold winter nights the entire family sat around our wood stove and picked Nut meats from those Hickory Nuts. It is a lot of work to pick Nut meats from Hickory Nuts.
It's not the same a picking Pecans or Walnuts etc. because the size of the Nut is so small. But, to me it just seems like the South would not be the South without families sitting around in circles picking Hickory Nut Meats from the Nuts of a Hickory Tree.
To me if anyone would be doing this it would be your farm your family. And I'm interested in knowing.
Thank you for sharing all you share and teaching so much of what you teach.
God Bless you always.
Aside from planting grafted varieties, don’t be afraid to save some of those grocery store peach pits, apple seeds, etc. and toss those into the mix. It’s a game of roulette but that’s how new varieties are formed!
My suburban house is on a slope so I put in a hugel/bioswale on one end as a water catchment and fun project. Been drought here for three years so far, glad I did it. Did not take long at all! Great video, I hope it encourages others to consider permaculture features for their yards.
Jess not sure if you have heard of Allan Savory?? He is amazing!! If everyone lived, just a little bit, like him our world would be so much more exceptional. His knowledge for the land is mind blowing. He has done of lot of work with Desertification....with great results.
Great vlog; thanks for sharing! I’ll check out Will & Taylor channel! Many blessings to your family & friends🤗❤️🇨🇦
That was so good. Planing is everything. I do live on the side of a hill and water gushing down and goes under the house (house is on legs).

Dear Jess! For skinhealing ALOE VERA is Just wonderful, maybe it is growing allready somewhere near. Much love Aloe from Austria.
Glad you are doing this. Long term plans. I have heard yhese mounds being czllled crescent shaped, or horseshoe.
Thank you for this snippet of Will and how he works n helps the family/community you n Myah have created. I wish I lived closer to you and your family/community. You know it’s like where I come from. In Hawai’i everybody
From pretty much anywhere in the world becomes Aunty and Uncle’s, this is how it is here. And here family is called “Ohana”. Love your content always. God bless you with lots of love, Aloha🌺🥰
Great video always. Love that Roots and Refuge shirt in purple! 💜. Can't wait to check out Will's channel, Which is getting ready to blow up, I'm pretty sure! 🌱 I love that you help others growth while you are still growing. It's a beautiful web, life. 🕸️
I feel like I need to learn more about those pits.
That is interesting and well presented. Thanks.
Girl ,you crack me up with your ducks in a row 😂😂😂
Very interesting!
Brilliant idea, those fruit trees are gonna love it. I recon for what u are building, pits and swales is the perfect name for it. But they are like mini swales and berms. Also, according to a recent video that Danny from Deep South Homestead posted the grass is not an issue, just shoot the grass clippings toward the mound. I love watching you building your Homestead. I BLESS you, sweet lady.
We are in South Carolina too it’s wonderful to see what you are planting and doing on your farm 🥰
The orchard plan is amazing. I love the idea of conturing the trees around the pond shape and the pit berms for water conservation.
Water wise is so beneficial.. great share
Great idea. Thanks for sharing Jess.
Bless you Will! love what you do♥️♥️♥️
Will sure is a well of knowledge. A great person to have on your team. I sure enjoy his videos.
Great videos love watching
Great information
Love the trip you guys took to the mushroom farm. Looking forward to an update ….
So ingenious! I have a slope just like yours. 🤔
Love seeing the progress on the orchard. I will have to try the pit swales for my orchard I started this year. It has a good slope. I was thinking of just doing a small channel in front of the mulch but the pit may be better. Thanks for the idea!
