Fascinating! I absolutely love his passion for what he's doing. He got me excited and I don't even have a yard.

The teepee is such a simple yet ingenious way to trellis vining plants. I'm stealing that one from you. Such a lush forest. That's my dream.

Hey! This was a beautiful and interesting film. It made me want to know more about permaculture, which I know absolutely nothing about. It’d be great if you could make a lil intro video about it, explaining the concepts you refer to in this video. I watched your whole video but I just had to guess the implications of what you were talking about. If you could just explain the basics it’d help us viewers who know zilch. BTW, I lived with my boyfriend and his family on their lil plot of land on Kauai for a year in 1971/2. We had a lot of plants—my bf’s granny grew lotsa veggies. What we didn’t grow on that land we could find nearby growing wild. It was wonderful, but nothing like your truly knowledgeably grown spot of paradise. What I inferred from your video is that some plants, like the peanut and the other one, grow densely and keep out weeds. Other plants, like comfrey and coleus, you grow so that you can basically fertilize or enrich the soil with them, because they contain minerals. Then you had a plant that specifically created nitrogen (?). This is what I mean about a lil intro to the concepts video! For folks like me. Mahalo! Thank you for sharing your beautiful world. 🙏❤️🌺

This is wonderful. As a growing temperate cold climate food forester, the tropical plants look other worldly. Thank you for sharing your passion and talent with us.

It's so beautiful! it's actually my dream to reconnect with nature this way.. Living in a concrete jungel is so unnatural, going back to nature is the way to go :)

[freemanhadley]

🙏 Amazing project! Appreciate everyone's work here to keep the abundance of nature in our awareness.

so beautiful! my dream ! i am 26, will work for a few more years and start a journey in permaculture

So I see now what’s possible! Good soil is EVERYTHING! My husband and I are slowly working on amending our soil to nourish our trees. Your food forest is priceless and looks like a dream!!! We would love to come and put some time in and learn more. We constantly battle with the tall grasses, cutting it is only a temporary fix. We had perennial peanut going around our trees and the “wideilia” overran it. It was so hard to maintain and cut out the layers so the peanut could spread. I’ll admit my husband did most all of the work . We got busy with working our jobs and slowly our ground cover failed. We are motivated to try again, we realize it’s the secret to food security;)

[akravindran]

What a wonderful journey! Would you have a video that talks about what people who're early in their journey can do? Amazing stuff. You focus a lot on guilds. Would be great if you could explain the thinking behind the plant placeemnt (esp the Mollison tree!)

Such a beautiful and functional food forest 😍
