1/4 Acre = SO MUCH FOOD!!

We learned how to garden by volunteering at organic farms. When we started our own garden, we followed what we learned.

Grow a ton of different varieties of veggies that will be ready throughout the season.

We realized pretty quickly that while this is a great strategy if you are going to market, but as home gardeners we were left burnt out and with way more food than we knew what to do with.

Then we read Carol Deppe’s book “The Resilient Gardener” and changed everything.

We changed our strategy and in the same amount of space are able to grow way more food that feeds our family year round with way less work required!

WOW! I haven’t seen this before! Pulling the chicken tractors along through wide living pathways! Super creative system!

1/4 acre? looks like so much more. great job.

[PrepareProsper]

Great job. That's a lot on a 1/4 acre. Gives me something to look forward to

I want to like this twice. I can’t wait to have my opportunity to have my little 1/4 acre piece of the dream! Hopefully a little more for some forest, too.

That's amazing! Can't wait to see how well we do this year!

I love this! I live on .69 of an acre and have a dozen chickens. I really should try to build a chicken tractor. I just have them free range in the morning when I'm enjoying my tea and murder mysteries book in the morning.

Super ❤. I have 35 quails and many vegetables in my small backyard. I need to get an acre next time.

[StayDownComeUp]

Bruh, this just fucked me up. Im so doing this on my pathways 😂

[amirahhamed]

Very nice! Do you guys have any issues with the gras trying to reinvade your rows? How did yall break the ground in?

Your editing was just about a half a second off from perfection... if only you had "just to BEE the man'" playing over the clip of the honey flowing 🤣

[RuthJohnstonaworldofgoods]

LOVE the idea of the chicken tractor! Quarter acre? Nah. I have farmed, lived among farms, taken horticulture, master gardening classes and have lived on one acre, twice. Just watching the video shows an acre. C'mon now, why exaggerate?

I have always wondered about how long does it take just to grow a few potatoes and after you harvest them how long do they last without going bad because when you plant them again you have to wait months before you can harvest more.. do you plant some then wait a bit and then plant more to keep the constant flow of food coming in?

Las gallinas pueden moverse de sitio así rotan

Why is there no weeding required? Nice vid.

Honey bees don’t actually pollinate as well as you may think.
More honey actually means less pollination happening because pollen is a key ingredient to the production of honey. They also out-compete other species who pollinate better.
Supporting other bee and insect species is key if you want to maximize your pollination benefits :)

What grow zone do you live in? Looks like maybe a 4 or 5? I’ve only recently learned about those and am trying to figure out what I can grow here on my balcony. I’d love to have my own land one day.

[AvianInstinct]

But my damn HOA said I have to have a "pretty lawn"😢

[PatrickDenehy-fk]

I love the song " The feminist male".

[zubaidasmith]

That looks bigger than a quarter acre to me. Great ideas though.

[navarra-qfds]

1/4 of an acre? that looks like 300 acres
