Don’t think people aren’t really grateful for your older shows—I am commenting here to remind you how much you are appreciated and the contribution you make to the world is truly amazing. Stay blessed, James!

I've been a fan for a few years, with the dream of turning my corner lot (purchased from the city for $250!!) into a COMMUNITY food forest! I'm donating the land to my community. The other day, on a whim, I posted my idea in a FB garage sale site and the local neighborhoods group president contacted me. She has funding for everything I need. I just have to come up with a design and present it to the group for voting. The group is backed by a local college that loves to provide manpower! I don't know how I got so lucky. This dream is finally going to happen. So I'll spend the next week watching all your stuff so I can present a solid plan to the group. Thank you for giving me the idea!

James! This older series is really helping my wife and I expand our garden and create our Ohio Food forest in our backyard. By next year we will have more raised beds growing more food than ever and we will have a lot of new plants growing directly in the ground of our food forest.

Hello from Oklahoma! My family owns 40 acres here in Oklahoma and my plan is to turn it into a giant food forest and hopefully teach and help feed people. I just started this chapter in my life book but this will definitely be the most important!

He is speaking nice and fast and not long winded. Thanks for being considerate.

James, I've been watching your videos non-stop since I've found them about a month ago. Now I'm making my way through your older videos and I wanted to stop by and say that you're such an inspiration. Your humble and positive perspective on challenges you face is so refreshing. Thank you for the reminder to stay in the moment!

Starting over on this adventure… we had a 3 year food Forrest going but have now moved to my grandparents farm and I’m starting over. Currently have 8 trees planted, 9 blueberry bushes, dozen or so raspberry bushes are on the way, 100 or so strawberry plants to plant this weekend. I’ve only got one load of wood chips but we’ve found a constant supply of free compost sourced. Also been saving our Amazon and moving boxes to smother out the grass as well. Our laying hens are currently filling the soil to prepare it for strawberries by the end of the weekend

I'm so excited. I just got my 1st load of woodchips today. I put in an order and waited 4 months without any response but then I called my electric company and I had woodchips within the week for free. I also talked to the driver and he said he would put me on the list for future loads. I told him to keep them coming.

Love your excitement. One year I gave my mother a truck load of top soil for Mother's Day. She was thrilled!

[AdvancedHarmonics]

Love how you intelligently educate us. Love the energy and the positivity. Can't wait to follow along this winter! Thanks for everything you learn and share. Amazing!

It’s crazy to see your garden now from this point! It’s beautiful!! Also… hearts for Tuck and his chicken friends! 💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️

Just watched phase 1-6. Can't wait to get started. Super excited because I found a website to drop off an entire dump truck full of wood chips!! So glad I found your channel

Dear James, You have been such an inspiration and my saving grace during the Coivd-19 Pandemic. Your (and Tuck's) energy and love for gardening is so beautiful. I have always dreamt of having a garden, and this winter I watched almost all of your videos and began planning. I am so excited to share that I DID IT! I have turned part of my backyard into a food forest. At the moment it contains only fencing, wood chips, and blueberry bushes. However, my fruit trees and strawberries are order. I have even set up my Birdies raised bed. (Thank you TUCK! ). I appreciate you!!!!

Dude James, coming across your videos today was a miracle. I just ate it all up. I've been racking my brain all winter on redesigning my backyard with the notion that everything I plant will be edible. After coming across your videos of your fabulous food Forest everything just feel into place, thank you so much. I haven't seen some of your really recent footage yet but if it hasn't been suggested or your not already doing it, I bet you would absolutely love having a few bee hives in your Forest. Thanks so much for your knowledge, integral speaking and teaching abilities and for being so gosh darn cute! Happy gardening and many good vibes to you and yours my friend.

Seeing Tuck in the margins is my favorite part.

I like how you are precise with your words.I'm able to follow through with ease

I am starting my food forest this year. 3 trailer loads of wood chips have been put down. Lots more to go! I am making a about a 60 x 60 area. Fencing is up and I plan to let my chickens get in and prep that ground while I work on bringing in the wood chips. Thanks for all the videos!! I need all the information I can get!

[joannaday]

We have learned so much from you James and your little side kick. And we are in our 60s, we look forward to watching your old post and your new ones … we thank you so much 😊
Bless you
