Well produced. Your content is as densely and nearly layered as your garden. Mostly watching for nostalgias sake, as I grew up in Northern CA. But it's also fascinating to compare my own systems 17 years into the tropics. It took me a decade to learn to build large scale systems from scratch without any outside inputs. In my case, it's because outside inputs aren't an option. No industry and no road here. It's fascinating to see all the ways that it's so difficult to truely unplug from unsustainable systems, especially within industrialized economies like North America. It's so easy to get hooked on inputs with the excuse of building towards something sustainable. Great job with water conservation too. A note on terracing contours: if you A-frame a steep slope into beds, even with ample connections and mulch, the whole thing can wash out in a heavy rain. Happened to me years ago. A property as flat as yours doesn't need contouring for catchment. You did great with just berms and swales.
why? it makes sense. as a teen in the seventies, read mother earth news...married young, three sons later, no decent money, had trouble pulling together dinners...kids in school went to work, rushed home no energy to do more. fast forward, kids grown and worked more hours than did before, ridiculous cycle, widowed and married again, couldn't slow down still and stress was high. asking what did I want to do I never did. live as close to the land as possible. retired 2019, bought 13 acres and had a tiny cabin built and a greenhouse and off grid solar and said I am done. I do not work a job. I am a senior. I garden and preserve. I try to fine ways to do with less and minimal lifestyle is perfect. I am at peace finally. why not?
Me too! I was always too tired & now retired my 3 yr dream was walk the entire Appalachian trail but 4 miles & im dead. Plus, I’d miss my family. Now this is my goal & I can’t wait. Fixing to cover my 6’ chain link fence w/ hardy kiwi & honey berry first layer after maybe Sadges under fencing (unless I can find perfect edibles). Happy retirement!
We've also been too fast on putting in the fruit trees and not nearly enough support species. Your food forest looks great. We don't bother with all the planning, instead we take a really anarchistic, iterative approach, by planting lots of things and then slashing down the losers and feeding them to the winners later.
Yup. I have a small backyard garden and it was the same, give em all the best start, and what ever goes gangbusters, I seed save and re sew the next year, what struggles and dies, no Buenos.
Suggestion: When drawing over your basemap, you can use multiple layers of tracing paper, each with sketches and notes on a different topic, so you can be as detailed as you wish without getting confusing or messy. Then you can overlay them as needed to check on how they interact.
I can feel the love she put in this project thru this video. When I saw the length of the video thought that will not watching it. But once start hearing I couldn’t stop until the end
Observing nature and imitating it is the way to sustain and propagate life. All our ancestors knew this and followed this. We unlearned this but now we are slowly awakening up to it once more. 😊
My Why is creating a healthy, balanced food source for me and my connections + regenerative and supportive biodiversity practices to create a sustainable loop. Working within - not against.
You, my dear, are a wealth of information and a delight to watch. And your voice is kind to sensitive ears. Goldifarms is particularly relevant to me because I am relocating from Washington state, essentially starting over. My new husband is an architect and wants to build in San Diego County. I have always known only of abundant water, so you are teaching me from the ground up how to create a beautiful and sustainable landscape!
My human was watching this video and I also found it very fascinating! I have no idea what you are talking about but the pictures and video are so pretty 😹😹😹 I had my human subscribe to your channel for me 😸
Wow! This is exactly what I needed to watch as I get ready to close on 6acres of hill/forest land in Barboursville, Virginia (a little north of Charlottesville). Thank you!
Interesting and well thought out, here where I am in Alaska we dont have the longest growing seasons and species that will thrive are limited. I happen to own a previously forested piece of property in which we strategically cleared away the excess trees and kept trees that were already doing a service thT i didnt need to plant others to do the same job. Some were left as wind breaks some as chop and drop biomas some as hub trees. And the rest of the trees that were perceived as filler trees were removed and replaced with fruit trees and shrubs. All of the trees that were removed were chipped into mulch and spread out where they grew. My second year i spread wildflower seeds and started building my guilds/consortiums and chickens free range the property as the fertilizers and cleaners. I was luckey enough to not have to plant any overstory or support species and was able to use what was already onsight.👍🏽 We have also been experimenting with water collection ponds and closing our waste loops.
Thank you for this precious video, dear. Being in the process of creating a food forest right now it was a treat to experience everything in a time lapse. Keep on going, you've got it all.
Don’t really have a comment just want to throw a shout out for the YT algorithm and help get this out to more people so that more people follow your lead! Keep up this awesome work!
Its taken me almost 5 years to get my rented house's garden to feel like its finally becoming lucious.. Which is a shame because we move in 3 months to our much more perminant home and I start my journey again. I am so excited to take all my failures with me and build bigger and better than ever! (it took 5 years due to very poor soil and very overgrown evergreens)
You'll be fine as long as you focus on the learning component of that first garden; it's not 5 wasted years! I did the same, living with my parents-in-law and helping with their existing dense and varied food garden, and adding to it. Now I have taken the best ideas (and clippings and roots) to the new place 2 km down the road. I will never regret that 'apprenticeship'.
Same, except for ten years, and we will probably move next year. Not having f soil is tough. My landlady scraped off two foot of soil and dumped it for me she was doing me a favour. Between me saying yes and going to get my stuff to move in. I cried for six days. Lol.
My WHY is the same as yours AND to help revive the earth and all ecosystems it holds. One of my favorite things of all time is to rebuild ecosystems and watch all the critters return, I have the tiniest bit of native flowers, a few native shrubs, a annual garden, I also always put out bird seed and sugar water next year is the year I really get to go nuts with planting. Something I wish I had done when I first started is meeting more local gardeners, I'm going to check out a farmers market soon, and im going to try to make some connections there.
I am shocked how well put together this video is. Your guide shows how scientific your thinking process is while maintaining a deep almost spiritual connection and love for a thoughtful and cooperative relationship with the land. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Just stumbled on your video and this is exactly what I was looking for. It's very insightful. Perfect for some who has dreams but doesn't know where to start
I would love to hear more about consortium combinations. I too planted fruit trees right right away, figs, apple, pear, plum, peach, grapes on my residential lot. Then added shade trees the next year. At 4 years now, I'm getting solid fruit production and shade trees are slowly coming along. Glad to have the abundance of fruit GREAT vid!
Thank you for helping me to slow down. There's forces (people, culture) that give me the feeling like there's a hurry... It's been so hard for me to admit that I'd rather just spend time on my land observing things before jumping into moving stuff around... I'm going to follow your design process... once the inside of the house is ready 🙂
Let us know how you progress with observations and how you note them down… this is the biggest part of making a successful gardening in my mind and not so obvious to beginners like me.
Thank you for Sharing. I‘m from Germany and I practice permaculture here. You are amazing. Humus is extremely important. Unterstand nature and work with it and see yourself as a part of it.
Lifelong resident of SLO County here. I’ve been dreaming of a garden and stumbled across this video. I have a catering business in Atascadero and we just got our first honey harvest. I’d love to connect sometime!
hello there. i'm a soil researcher. and i have to say i'm really happy that you teach ppl how to take care of their soils. the best thing is that you don't use any peatland organics. there are too many ppl around claiming to do "sustainable" agriculture while using imported peatland soil to ameliorate. installing a sustainable ecosystem should not harm other ecosystems. cheers :)
Absolutely love your video’s you have so much great information & i love the way you story tell. Your voice is so soothing & you are very inspirational! Keep up the great work. Much gratitude & warm greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 🥰🌺
I dream of caring for my own garden one day. I'm often afraid, because here in zone 4 (Quebec), it is hard to do anything with the aoil during winter and goung plants must develop a good root system in order to survive. However, I had never imagined we could create such an amazingly beautiful foodforest in a dry land; I'm so used to water abundancy. So I find this very inspiring. Thank you so much! I'll keep dreaming and planning and, one day maybe...
I really enjoyed your video. I live on land that was once part of an old tobacco farm. The soil is awful. I am going to be using ideas from your video to help fix over a hundred years of abuse of the soil. Thanks for posting this
Fine job sister! I love everything about you. Many thanks for the ideas and information. I have 3.3 acres in middle Tennessee that is destined to become a food forest. I live on the property in a big army tent. You wouldn't believe how much rain we get.
Love your video......I too started a food forest and have started the task of developing my property.. I have fallen in love with the whole process.... this was inspiring
Thank you so much for your beautiful video! Im Currently in a permaculture design certificate program and cant wait to have a beautiful medicine food forest like yours! Yes on acheiving our permaculture paradise dreams!
Loooks like you learned a lot and appreciate you sharing! Where you’d be interesting to listen to and talk with! But you’re over my head! You’d probably do good working with Bruderhof and Mennonites! Growing Forest Gardens is a good thing, I just got a couple of books, but pushing 60. I’m a bit late, but someone will want to! You’re doing what others of us desired! But make self sufficient!
You are so wonderful! What a great video, with a lovely flow, comprehensive overview, and a narrative that is so easy to listen to and understand! I will show my 6 year old, thanks and thanks again so much!
I clicked on this video because it was about permaculture. Was only casually watching UNTIL winter solstice, equinox, and summer solstice are mentioned - that's when my ears pricked up because hey, you're my kind, sister! I've gotta see the rest of your videos now!
Two years ago I moved from Sacramento to Georgia. The extreme weather in CA is no small thing to deal with. Thank you for sharing all your advice and journey. Georgia has its own challenges with growing here, its been a journey to learn how to work with the soil. The soil in CA is so beautifully rich in a lot of places. Thank you for sharing!
This is fantastic! I'd love to see a deep dive on any of the covered topics even if that's just showing more examples of how/why you made the choices you did in a given part of the garden.
I agree. I’d also love to know of anyone who is doing this type of gardening in the humid hills of the Black Forest in Germany. There the slugs and aphids are massively eating everything! Also voles chewing the veggies from the roots.
Nice job with explaining this stuff... I was born in Portland Oregon, I have a lot of family throughout Oregon. As I live and work in Brazil, I don't understand the strategic plants for that climate. I think I understood what you said about zone 9 (you were talking about climate hardiness I think), however, I noticed you avoided talking about permaculture zoning (0-5) in this video, probably because that is too off topic. I will be hunting around this channel for more info about Mesothermal conditions and plants... Saying Mediterranean Climate was huge news to me though... I need to understand more... Working in the subtropics, tropics and deserts of Brazil for so long really makes me see how little I know about California climates... Great content! Definitely sending to my relatives:-) ☺️
wow...we love the same collection of photos..i love your picture picks! i also can't figure out the best design for our small garden...i can't stop thinking of a better design..but when i went to the garden to start cleaning it yesterday, my body aches until now...but that's the beauty of it...i slept well last night!
I love this video. I stumbled upon this tonight , just at sucha good time in my life. I wish I had started when I was younger. However I am motivated to continue on my foodie path and pass it down. Tku, I really enjoyed this.
A wonderful video and a great help for those who are starting out on the permaculture path. Thank you for helping others to take the first step in what will become a lifetime event...
Wow! I don't know why this popped up in my feed, but the voice is PERFECT. I really struggle with focus. Many voices I unintentionally, zone out. I hung on to every word. Heard every word. Was able to process what was being said. Ma'am. Excuse me, can you narrate my life, please? 😊 Thank you for this. I have a lot of extenuating factors that are beyond my control. My key tip when searching for land, is search the neighbors too! I didn't buy my land, I was blessed with a wedding gift. The neighbors don't spray their pasture. But they leased it out to a guy who does. There's a dirt road between us. Spray drifts. Nothing is more crushing than watching your fruit trees just fall apart just so the neighbors hay doesn't have "weeds".
Thank you so much for this video. My husband and I have similar dreams (our land is in Sri Lanka) and the information you are providing is extremely helpful. More videos please! Perhaps a video for each of the strategies covered in this video?
Thank you 🙏🏼for sharing your knowledge, this is gold for those who like me, are trying to learn to grow most of our veggies and fruits. Your video inspired me to do what I need to, to fulfill my dream. 🤗🥰

Suggestion:
When drawing over your basemap, you can use multiple layers of tracing paper, each with sketches and notes on a different topic, so you can be as detailed as you wish without getting confusing or messy. Then you can overlay them as needed to check on how they interact.
I do something similar, but with pieces of (recovered) clear poly plastic. The visibility through multiple layers is better than with tracing paper.
Yep. You all are geniuses. I wouldn't have dreamed up using tracing paper. Many blessings everyone.
If you have an IPad, pro create us another easy way to add in layers and drawings as well as pictures.
@@Ubiquinode those recovered plastic from things like cake boxes?????

Im getting a land in portugal and start living the life i want. Thanks for the inspo❤❤❤❤

I love this video. I stumbled upon this tonight , just at sucha good time in my life. I wish I had started when I was younger. However I am motivated to continue on my foodie path and pass it down. Tku, I really enjoyed this.
I love what you’ve done, and I’d like to get there one day. Right now, I’m trying to figure out how to start small.
The best condensed permaculture lesson I saw! and put into practice too, awesome!
A wonderful video and a great help for those who are starting out on the permaculture path. Thank you for helping others to take the first step in what will become a lifetime event...
my why is the Most High! HalleluYah for your video!
Loved the idea of using Canva for making a base map! Brilliant!
Hii
Beautiful! The video is beautiful. The garden is beautiful. And the host is beautiful. Good luck!
Wow! I don't know why this popped up in my feed, but the voice is PERFECT. I really struggle with focus. Many voices I unintentionally, zone out. I hung on to every word. Heard every word. Was able to process what was being said. Ma'am. Excuse me, can you narrate my life, please? 😊
Thank you for this. I have a lot of extenuating factors that are beyond my control. My key tip when searching for land, is search the neighbors too!
I didn't buy my land, I was blessed with a wedding gift. The neighbors don't spray their pasture. But they leased it out to a guy who does. There's a dirt road between us. Spray drifts. Nothing is more crushing than watching your fruit trees just fall apart just so the neighbors hay doesn't have "weeds".

Thank you so much for this video. My husband and I have similar dreams (our land is in Sri Lanka) and the information you are providing is extremely helpful. More videos please! Perhaps a video for each of the strategies covered in this video?
Thank you 🙏🏼for sharing your knowledge, this is gold for those who like me, are trying to learn to grow most of our veggies and fruits. Your video inspired me to do what I need to, to fulfill my dream. 🤗🥰
