How To Start A New Garden (From Start to Finish)
Thank you for this video. So many lovely comments here!
Commercial and best practices for pawpaw in N. America is to have shade for 2 years then full sun. Mature plants bear best in full sun. I used a similar approach. Planted seedlings under sumac. I planned to remove the sumac after a few years. I did and now the trees are doing very well in full sun. In case you didn't know, pawpaw uses different pollinators than other flowering plants, so you may want to create a microhabitat. I put the pawpaw near each other and near slow moving water. Better habit for pawpaw pollinators-flies etc.
My God ur work is so addictive that i forgot to have my Hot tea... ❤❤❤ Love from India🇮🇳
I have learnt so much from this video. Thank you for putting this type of content on your channel. Kindly update us about this land's progress. I have subscribed your channel. I hope you do well. ❤
Amazing job. You guys are doing great. Can’t wait to see the garden all grown up in a couple of years.
im here and your life is like a gamelike survival ❤ more update plss
U 2 did a good job. Conrats !
What's the name of the roller garden tool that marked out the line spacing so you plant evenly
Yes please dive deeper into all the trees and plants that you have, also I'm wondering if there are wild hogs and deer where you are , they could be a good source of food..
Every word an absolute truth. thank you for your wise and caring words.
So ypu can plant immediately with this method? I always thought you had to wait months to plant on top of cardboard? I’m late with my beds this year so trying to figure out an immediate solution for my flower farm
🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏
👍🙏
You are bored all day and don't know anybody? Move to the countryside an get an excabator, you'll be busy in no time
Well done, the place looks amazing,,,🍀🎯🚀
Food has REAL value.
If you want to give your peach a helping hand, remove some of the fruit so the tree can refocus some energy
🥰🥰🥰🥰💚💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏🙏🧚🧚♂🧚♀

Eucalyptus will again n again grow even after cutting...so best way is, uproot them. They are possessive and dangerous to the surrounding plants.
Beautiful, intelligent design. Please save a few wild thistles..the finches and native pollinators love them.
siiiiiiiiiiiiiick.
Thrilled to have just discovered your channel. Thank you for this beautiful and informative content! :) Could you tell me the dimensions of this bed by any chance? Looking forward to continuing to follow along as I set up my own vegetable garden!
Welcome! This bed was 80 cm wide by 5 meters long. Good luck with your garden!
@@TheDutchFarmer thank you so much for your help! Does this include the wood chipped areas as well, i.e. 15 cm wide for each wood chipped row and 50 cm wide for the composted bed itself for example? Really appreciate your help :)
No! In general, the woodchip pathways are anywhere from 20cm (really narrow) to 40/50 cm (enough for a wheelbarrow). Compost beds are at 80 cm. This is standard size for market garden beds. You could also opt for 1.2m wide beds (called "double-reach") but I personally prefer the 80. Makes it easy to walk and move around and harvest. Hope that helps ;)
@@TheDutchFarmer amazingly helpful, thank you again!! 😊
Wow that is paradise 😊😊😊
Really enjoyed this informative video.
Mooie ontwikkeling van jullie land. 😀Moeten jullie op jullie land ook speciale regelingen treffen ivm brandpreventie ?
how much money did you have accumulated before you started the project ? did you quit your job ?
Those Muscovy's are going to turn your pond into a sewer pit, stinky and dirty where noting will grow in, or live in, not even frogs.
No bees no forest, if you guys want Green forest you need to start thinking on add bees in to the land ❤
Keep the vids coming!!!
jij volgt je dromen. goed bezig man.
What are all the handheld rolling things u used? Is it one tool that has many attachments
Good watch , when are you building a house on land to live in ??
Just Love that,
How much was this land? :/
❤entendre parler des arbres et des plantes dans votre jardin. J'habite au Saguenay (zone4) et je vous envie et admire votre projet. Merci pour votre partage inspirant.
Please say that you are transplanting the eucalyptus trees! They are great medicinal and insect repellent plants!!!
Where is there. Are you sure thre is legal area or forest area? Which country?
that is portugal. they dont really enforce rules
Your definitely keeping the local green houses happy with your purchases things are looking great I’m sure the home you build will be a pleasing asset to the property. Could you let us know what creatures large and small your dealing with on the property
Most of the domesticated fruit trees except the wild ones, like bear berry or hazel nut, for example, need continuous human presence and care. Especially if you want them to yield fruits.For example the biggest almond plantation in Dalmatia. During the Serbian rule, which lasted only a couple of years, the trees were not taken care of and almost all of them died out. Or mulberry trees which were abundant in the mountain villages all died out soon after the inhabitants left the villages and moved downwards.
More please! Keep going
<3
Good
Watching from indonesia 😊
it's great that i found this video, I'm an avid watcher of ProjectKamp and i actually want to find more videos that are similar but couldn't untillllll this oneee 🎉🎉🎉
Looks like Surveyors were involved at some point.
how much does it cost to start a project like this?
What about working in demolition site 12 hours a day ?? If you put 12 hours every day in your farm ? Yes you are wright it is hard ,but for some people in the city who has a shity job like me it is normal.
Wow .. very impressive project .. well done 👍
What a use of technology and scientific knowledge ❤
