In this video we talk about thinning out a young regrowth forest with goats, and the tool known as a Forestry Mulcher, for the purpose of establishing silvopasture.
Subsistence And Survival In An Age Of Instability
Переглядів 1492 роки тому
In an age of an increasing instability, we must begin to ask the question: "what are the most resilient farming and survival systems?" Drawing on wisdom from traditional subsistence cultures and from indigenous methods of survival, as well as drawing on new techniques from regenerative agriculture/forestry, we will examine the power of passive low tech solutions in our survival systems, as well...

Old Timers 15 Year old Food Forest in Middle Tennessee
Переглядів 56 тис.2 роки тому
This is a video of Larry Lee's food forest in Joelton Tennessee. The food forest was started by him in 2007. He has apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, grapes, muscadines, chestnuts, pecans, black walnuts, american butternut, japanese walnuts, oaks, hazelnuts, bamboo, vegetables, asparagus, and much more. He maintains this space by himself.
Just saw this in Connecticut, stay safe
Interesting info. Looking forward to part II It would be helpful for some of us if you oriented your drawings to reflect North on the top of the drawing, instead of at the bottom ( sorry Oz). Thanks
Great video
this is awesome, thank you!
Thanks for the great video… very informative!!! The resolution was grey for me btw!
I really enjoyed learning what you taught in this video. Please make a part 2, but as others have said the low 360 resolution made it difficult to read the whiteboard.
Thanks for the feedback Jeff. When I post part 2 in the next few days I'll make it a higher resolution.
I was interested in this video until 360p was all I could see it in, your whole video is pixelated for me on playback
So sorry! I will repost part 1 in full quality.
First world problems
Just so happens I'm looking for some off grid property.
Liked, subscribed
great content, when is part 2 going to be online?
Should be able to get it up tomorrow.
I hope this channel cranks back up. This was a great video!
New subscriber 👍
Thanks for watching brother
@@ThrivingEarthFarm enjoyed it. Thanks
Thanks for posting this! I need to visit his food forest! Also where are you located? I’m in eastern TN - 1 hr north of Chattanooga. And am building year 1 of my food forest:) I need to learn Tennessee… it’s very different than the desert!
Epic Food Forest! Great video Jon. "She doesn't waste anything!" When the peach looks ripe enough to fall, catch it, and eat the sweetest and best flavor ever. Love it!
Great points, Jonathan. Amazing that public school for us in the 70s included metal shop, auto shop, woodworking, ag, trades including building spec houses, plus art history, and all the subjects of a classical education.
Hey! Cheatam co. Thats where I'm at!! I grew up our here on Cheatham/Montgomery Co. Line!
A garden to be very proud of, thank you for sharing.
Awesome presentation. Thank you. Are you doing the basket course again?
Thanks Angela!
Great video! Thanks for sharing these opportunities for valuable investments
Good job
I can't believe you don't get more comments. people are very strange. Asparagus is one thing I do love and have just made a dedicated garden for.
Homesteading in Australia on 7 acres, nice to see what you are doing. I've been thinking about the idea of buying "stuff" rather than money in the bank, getting what I need for the future with the money I have today - chains for the chainsaw and so on. If China moves on Taiwan then obviously we aren't going to get anything in the stores for some time. I do like the idea of buying stuff that doesn't rely on gasoline/electricity too.edicine is the main issue going forward.
Guess ur coons differant to australian ones

This video is a true treasure! This gentleman is so full of knowledge and experience and I am truly grateful that he is willing to share! Would love to see you go back and interview him again, he has information that most likely cannot be found in books!
I love this guy. Real man serving the earth.
I hope this is what my retirement looks like
We should all be so fortunate!❤💚
Larry is the man!
That sounds like me: I bought scraggly looking plants and planted 'em late and I don't know if they're going to do anything ... Moving right along!
Great stuff man, I found your channel looking for Tennessee food forest stuff. I've been in Florida my whole life and making the leap soon to a little piece near fall creek falls, do you have any insight on the impact 1k-2k feet elevation would have on the fruit/nut trees that are talked about for zone 7?
Micro climates will be your friend! `Fall creek falls is a great area. Did you make the move yet?
I wonder if he has pawpaw trees?
He doesn't have paw paw trees, but I have a bunch growing. They are VERY slow growing, but once they get established they are wonderful producers. While they are young, they need shade, but as they get older they need full sun to be very productive. I encourage people to grow improved cultivars that are known to have larger fruit.
If you do another tour can you have hime talk more about the varieties and how they perform. Nice video! There is not a lot of info about fruit trees here in Tennessee. Thanks
Now that's a food FOREST. There are so many videos showing folks that planted a few trees and a garden a couple of years back who call their garden a 'food forest'. That is just nonsense. I've been at it for 40 years like this guy. It takes years to have the real deal. Even 10 years is just a nice start.
Funny I have one apple on my Granny Smith potted tree. I’m blessed because it wen through stress for a couple of years but it’s thriving now in dark green beautiful foliage but one apple but it’s alive. So while this guy is proud to see his abundance off apples on the ground I’m taking special care of my one apple.😂😂
LOL I have had that experience with a peach tree.. but I look at it like this, it's still trying so there's hope!
Closing on a property in middle Tennessee in 2 days and needed this video! Sounds like I chose alright. Looking forward to more videos.

Excellent information! Looking forward to your prepper video too!
This video is a treat ❤️
Never thought to make jelly with the cores. I'm telling ya, I've learned to shut my mouth and listen. It's amazing what one learns with a closed mouth. Doesn't stop me from typing tho😁
I kinda laughed when he said his wife was cheap for using the cores and peels for making jelly. That's all we ever used for that purpose. The rest is made into preserves, or dehydrated. No waste.
Great knowledge, crap footage
Does he have any animals? Chooks or ducks might be handy in a food forest
Were the dark stains on the green apples? Is that normal?
It always cracks me up how y'all call family orchards "food forests". 🤣 My grandparents on both sides had been practicing a lot of permaculture activities when they weren't cool and seen as new. Composting, using greywater, grafting trees, worm beds, reusing things until they can't be used again--these are the ethics I grew up with. Nothing new under the sun, they're just renamed.
Yes, totally 😂 I follow this guy from Mexico and he goes to all these trendy folk with rooftop urban gardens and gives them props and I thought to myself the same thing. Why doesn’t he go to the elderly folks in Mexico who have worked their orchards and vegetable gardens the old fashion way which is everything renamed. I totally hear you.
Hey Hey! Great video. Starting a mini food forest in middle TN. Wondering if you could post a comprehensive list of all the varieties that Larry has? Or at least his favorites? Ive struggled with apples and grapes here. Does he have any recommendations on particular varieties other than what he just happened to mention in this video. Wonderful video such great knowledge. Please keep up the great work!!!
Contact your county extension office.
17:42 is what I’ve always heard called Asian hornets or locally as Bowater hornets.
I’d like to visit this man during harvest season just for the inspiration for me to get planting now, for the future.
I think they should plant in parks and forests fruit and nut trees for everyone👍🤔
I agree. Instead, they plant non-edible plants or poisonous ones in parks.
And that was the prettiest hog nose snake I've seen around here
I need to come visit you and learn the fungus side of things ,that's one of the few things ik lacking on my place,they grow wild,and have brought in logs I have found that were growing lions main recently will hopefully get some this year
Man these are good videos,keep up the good work,are you a local as well? I have always had a green thumb,but since we bought our land in hickman I've gone crazy with it,I know my place will resemble his in 5 more years I'd say,I went crazy up front when first bought,this year I've added and adding more varieties kind of seeing what does best and what to pursue in future
