Great info Kenji!
everything 'spiritual' is not righteous. I want to know only facts in harmony with YHVH.
Yeah this is witchcraft.
In mauritius we peel and grate the root part and we put some ginger garlic and oinion paste .some chilli flakes ,salt and sugar. And cornstarch .mix very well. And a handful of the mixture make in a round shape .fry it in medium heat till it becomes a little brown and crispy. I like it that way.and it something quite expensive in my country.
Where are you situated?
We are in Myocum near Byron Bay
How are you finding the side ventilation ? When would you use it?
We’re in the sub tropics so we do use the side ventilation
Love what you’re doing, awesome 👏, I’m in my final term of completing my Horticulture certificate and seeing what you’re doing excites me. Love it
Thank you!
Where are you getting your plant strips from?
Where are you based?
We’re in Myocum near Byron Bay
Why did you choose Polytunnel over Carbonated greenhouse’s?
What a great farmerJason is caring for the wildlife on his property & even transplanting trees for it! So unlike those huge monoculture areas in our WA wheatbelt that were stripped completely of native vegetation, are merely wheatgrass meadows for part of the year & manmade deserts for the remainder!
so wonderful sharing thank you so much❤❤❤
You're doing amazing work
I’m sure biodynamic farmers tend to put a lot of care into their practice, and this care will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the products they produce, but the spiritual and astrological stuff is of course bullshit. If this pseudoscience motivates the farmers to care more than that is a net positive, but it takes a bit of a naïve personality to actually believe this crap
Thats just your ignorant opinion with no basis in reality. Youre the naive one. Explain to me where your consciousness derives from and explain the countless scientificically observed after death experiences. And then explain to me where the earth and cosmos originated. If you cant explain this and much more, you have no basis to tell people "spirituality" is nonsense.
I wish l was there to help them as a teen☺
Carnivore Diet is proper human behaviour. Ruminants make soil - Crops make dirt. 7 days without beef makes one weak. Pay a farmer for healthy food and not a doctor for medications.
Thanks for this, I'm new to growing taro so this was helpful. 👍
Brilliant 🎉
One question. Do we need pay to council for fresh water dam usage for farming?
Great work

Sooo yummy!!! :)
Hi there, thank you for this informative video. I was wondering if I can buy some cassava sticks from you to gown in my greenhouse. thanks
Yuca, the ultimate tropical survival crop. Great video!
Excellent. Please tell location of your area where you are growing ginger. Just want to have look on climatic conditions.
Thanks for the info! Can you share a little more on the types of legumes the cows were eating that helped them to finish off with that great amount of marbling?
Fantastic job 😊😊😊
Awesome work.
My favorite kind og grapes, although unconciously, we Brazilians do not consider it a grape (don't ask me why). Just 1 thing: we pronounce it "jah-boo-chi-kah-ba".
I watched a lot of my fields wash away last week in heavy rain. There isn't much topsoil, mainly red clay. Gullies formed in them. I was thinking about how to capture all that rainwater and prevent losing all the clay. Swales seem to be it. And I get waterer for my pigs! And recharge to the perched aquifer that I have 2 wells in. And habitat. Wow.
Hi, I really enjoyed your ginger growing educational video. Do you have any advice regarding growing through the colder months or preserving the rhizomes to replant in spring? I'm lucky enough to live in Qld so maybe I can just leave them? Thank you
Can we eat its leaves? Thank you
yes! Taro leaves are a staple to Polynesian Cuisine. Search up the "Tongan Luu Sipi" or Fijian/Samoan "Palusami" or "Lu'au"
I live here in Clarksville tn, where can I buy the fruit, for planting.
Asian markets in Louisville.
Wonderful. I'm also trying to find a way to feed two horses and two sheep on a much smaller piece of grazing land. Swales are a good start. I dig them by hand, hahaha. The process of shaping grazing land in a different way, with many more different types of plants, grasses and herbs, and seeing how everything wants to grow in the months that follow is fantastic.
Thats awesome.
Looka lush and beautiful, where in Australia are you?
In kenya we called it nduma
Great video mate. Thank you. I have sheep on a property that used to have race horses on it. The ground is so compacted and dry with much of the same weeds. I think I'll try this with the pigs.
Wow thats incredible, can i ask where you are?
Thanks mate, North Central Victoria this way. Great video. I feed 7-8 magpies ALDI MINCE ($1,000 per year) & I can hand-feed the mothers when they are nesting. They build their nests where they can see my curtains move in the morning & over they come. Water provided & a BIRD BATH to get rid of LICE etc .Great channel, THANKS FOR YOUR CONTENT.
A taro leaf can be used as tobaco when cured. Also if you cut one in half and put in water it will give you a rooting gel.
❤❤❤❤
Hey, I am new to the topic bush regenerating, I guess cutting down the tree would be disturbing the soil to much at once or what is the idea of slowly killing the tree? We are in WA and are challenging ourselfs getting rid of many golden Sydney wattles , they are taking over our native bush . Greetings
As he alludes to in the video, if you simply cut the tree down with no form of treatment, the Camphor will coppice out and eventually regrow in to wide mess of new trunks. Camphor laurels produce an oil in their leaves that most often inhibits native plant regeneration. I'm assuming that by using this technique with a fungi inoculation, you would also be partly breaking down any potential soil toxins. Are you looking to remove the Acacias without using any herbicides?
I enjoyed learning from your video. Thank you!Friendly feedback: Please stop the background music when you are talking. 😊
You answered all my unasked questions. Thank you so much!!!
Not EM at all!!! So don't call it that.
What is it so?
turning our deserts green from the rain made from the oceans beaver dambing our river creating lakes and rivers to damb up and cleaning - purifying the water with more lakes and rivers from the rain made from our oceans turning our deserts green LOFL AT ME if you dont get what i mean. the cycle of permaculture. i basically started from searching why are they cutting down our rain forests and why they are using beaver to create lakes. ua-cam.com/video/tRKZzn7hGS0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=why+are+they+cutting+down+our+rain+forests+and+why+they+are+using+beaver+to+create+lakes ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=permaculture+dambing+up+increasing+australian+rivers I basicaly starded here ive spent a day watching vids of how beaver turn deserts green from creating dambs from lake to river to lake (cycle) from the oceans to out farms
Nice one. You have the bun-long variety there, I believe. I have three other edible taro varieties plus 2 varieties of cocoyam 'Xanthosoma saggitifolia'. Happy to post some if interested, I live in the Northern Rivers
