    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!

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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……

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.

    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.
