Subsistence And Survival In An Age Of Instability
Переглядів 1492 роки тому

    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.

    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?

      @ThrivingEarthFarm 2 роки тому

      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.

    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.😂😂

    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.

    • @m.g.d4721
      @m.g.d4721 2 роки тому

      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.

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.

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
