I was wondering what happened to Alex and Dreams of Green. She hadn’t updated in a while so I thought she might have decided to do something else (or to continue on without UA-cam). Lovely to see
❤
Phd karl yes
Thankyou your vey inspirational....i am 54 year old single woman just brought 50 acres of bush with a off grid shack...in Tasmania..to live...i love nature and want to protect it too...yes...more to life...than a rat race....
Yum who would have thought! Excellent info thank you and God bless
My salute sir. For your hard working
Very informative video Andy… must dig mine up and have some free food this week🙏🐺
How is this not just trying to rebrand Permaculture? It is Permaculture. Do you really need a new word so that you can claim the ideas?
Permaculture is a holistic design system for creating sustainable human habitats by following nature's patterns. Whereas Syntropic agroforestry is a regenerative agricultural practice that involves the integration of trees, crops, and sometimes animals in a way that mimics natural forest ecosystems. I think the key distinction is that, Syntropics is trying to replicate a natural forest ecosystem whereas permaculture is more about sustainable design for living.
@@SyntropicPantry-dw4ew You must have never seen Global Gardener-Bill Molison. He describes the orign of Permaculture as " regenerative agricultural practice that involves the integration of trees, crops, and sometimes animals in a way that mimics natural forest ecosystems". The dude that coined Permaculture and this movement was literally a forest ecologist looking to mimic the abundance of the forest for human consumption. Syntropic farming is nothing more than the first principles of Permaculture as far as I can tell.
Syntropic Farming, permaculture without the hippies. Lol. 😂
@@frictionhitch And how was Permaculture not just a rebranding of P.A. Yeomans’ Keyline Scale of Permanence and Keyline Design? He was doing the work of “permaculture” in the 50’s & 60’s, long before Mollison and Holmgren ever came along. He published his first book on his work, The Keyline Plan, in 1954, and The City Forest in 1971, among others. Or maybe it’s a rebranding of Masanobu Fukuoka’s Natural Farming work. One Straw Revolution, containing MANY of the same principles that permaculture proposes, was published 17 years before Mollison’s Permaculture Design Manual. Or maybe Sepp Holzer who began his work in ecological farming in the 1960’s. Or maybe J. Russell Smith who published Tree Crops: A Permanent Agriculture in 1929, from which Mollison actually credits as the source of his coining the term permaculture. And in case you were unaware, Ernst Gotsch has been practicing, developing, and teaching Syntropic Agroforestry since the early 80’s. So, it’s not like this some new system that has just adapted everything from permaculture. It was an independently developed system that came into being around the same time Mollison and others were starting permaculture. It just never really got as widespread and well known, because it was being practiced primarily in areas of South America, outside of a predominantly English language translation. Or maybe all of them are just a rebranding of the ways and principles our ancestors farmed and lived for thousands of years long before industrial farming ever appeared on the scene. The point is, everyone is always standing on the shoulders of giants. There’s no need for one system to claim ultimate authority or originality. They all share common principles, practices, and techniques. And they also all have some ideas or practices unique to them. And they can all be incorporated together, or practiced exclusively depending on the stewards. I think one of the struggles or dislikes that some people have with permaculture sometimes, at least as I’ve witnessed and heard from others over the years, is that permaculture practitioners and communities can often come across as very dogmatic and, perhaps, even a bit cultish at times, and it drives them away from wanting to engage in that community. So, perhaps, the Syntropic Agroforestry community just wants to engage in the practice of naturally stewarding land holistically, without having some judgmental dogma thrown at them, sort of like how you did here. Ultimately, all of these systems are all working towards common goals, sometimes just with minor tweaks to how they follow that path. If anything, there should be more cross-communication and collective cooperation rather than one system trying to claim preeminence.
@@tcoxor52 What? Rebranding what every knows as permaculture is not only unnecessary but makes it harder for people to get the information they need. Syntropic Agroforestry is just too much. Who is looking for creative credit? Mollison is dead and Permaculture is an open term. Keyline is great but it refers to a strategy. Sometimes keyline is a bad idea. Bill Molison said that he left Permaculture under an open use trademark because the best practitioners were yet to come. BTW I am an Arborist so I should love the Syntropic AgroForestry term but I don't. Convoluted bs turns minds off. We need billions to make a lifestyle change. Just call it Permaculture or homesteading or sustainable ag. We don't need this term. I bet somebody owns it
Going to plant some
You won't regret it Fran :)
WOW amazing plant, and that root! Looked like galangal on steroids. Great video, thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching and positive comment..:)
Awesome. I’m going to grow some. Do you do anything with the leaves?
The leaves can be used for mulch, compost material and shelter for other plants. Young leaves and shoot tips can be cooked and eaten in salads. Some varieties of arrowroot can be eaten raw, steamed, barbequed or roasted. :)
I love plant feature videos (and tours). Do you grow other interesting/rare edible vegetables to feature in upcoming videos?
Yes always looking to do more, just have to have the time...:)
Very nice overview of Arrow Roots ...Thank you very much for this!
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect simple tutorial. I have so much of this growing and now finally ready to actually harvest and cook it up. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, can you say me the botanic name of this plant. Thanks
Everything looks so lush. Thanks for sharing, I certainly have learnt by watching and listening.
Thanks so much 😊
Cut the banana blossom tail when you see the fruits getting smaller, so you can maximaze the size of them
Beautiful beautiful video, thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
looking good Andy
Thanks 👍
Thank you for the walk around :)
You can actually cook the banana heart/blossom the ref thingy of the banana fruits. You can make tons of recipes to it. You have to take the outer red layers and just cook the whitish part. Great as salads and even as a replacement to meat. Find some recipes online.
Good to know!
I love it when growers show the garden when its like this! Proper jungle. I have arrowroot growing so looking forward to a video on how you cook it!
Thanks for the feedback...:)
What's the 'Arut' that's better than potato mate?
Arrowroot is a starchy root vegetable derived from the Maranta arundinacea plant, native to tropical regions such as the Caribbean and South America. It has been used for centuries as a thickening agent in cooking. Arrowroot is gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. It also has a higher nutritional value compared to other starches, containing various vitamins and minerals such as potassium, iron, and B vitamins.
Thanks for the video! W ould you graft onto the avocado after replanting?
It could be grafted, best grafted in spring to early summer when the sap is flowing well. I would tend to leave the plant as is and see how it goes...
Thank-you so much for showing very beautiful plant nice fruiting good information
It's my pleasure

Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Great story. Well done😁
Glad you enjoyed it!

Good job bud
Motivational video ❤️🔥 saludos desde México 🇲🇽👋
Just sub'd. Love it. Thanks for being you.❤❤❤❤🎉
Beautiful! Well done!
Thank you very much!
This video came up in my feed today and as I was listening I was thinking he sounds like this guy: ua-cam.com/video/3jh1481J6qw/v-deo.html obviously some changes in the interim Andrew! An inspiration then, and great to see the growth of both you and your new site!! Keep up the good work!
Hi Jared Yes you are correct, it is the same guy, me. I moved back to Australia after the passing of my Dad and a marriage bust up. Life can throw is in different directions but as long as we have the land, we can be healed....
Sorry to hear that Andrew! The new place looks great! Will keep an eye on your new journey!
Thanks a lot..
Most welcome!
Awesome 👌🏻
Very inspirational
Thank you...:)
Beautiful and inspirational.
Thank you so much!
Do you get quite a bit of rain? We just had a really dry summer...4 months with out rain. Makes starting my food forest a slow process as we are on tank water so can only use a little water to keep things alive.
Hi Lisa thanks for the message. Yes we have had good rain of late. Where abouts are you located? When I bought the property, it was so dry, hence why I put in mini swale system and mulched the heck out of the beds. Good rainfall does help. :)
I am in Tasman NZ near Motueka. It has been the driest year in quite a while so hopefully won't be the norm. But our summers are always fairly dry and without rain for several months.
Good job, that was beautiful! The system, the garden and the video.
Thank you very much!
Thanks so much....:)
Thank you for showing us how you started and created such a beautiful and bountiful garden 💚💚💚 After being inspired by Alex @dreamsofgreen I’ve just finished planting the start of my food forest, and your story has further inspired me on filling out the layers and using the space I have to grow more food. Your comments on the time needed to process the bounty is also a good point to make. Plus having heaps of mulberries to eat sounds like heaven 😊😊😊
Thanks for the lovely feedback Sharon. Keep me in the loop with how you are progressing...:)
Thanks Andy, i love a simplified tutorial!
No worries!
😎 P r o m o S M
Fantastic story on Alex! She is such an inspiration. In fact, finding Alex's UA-cam channel inspired me to plant my own food forest, which I recently did over Easter. Thank you Alex, you are amazing and truly inspirational 💚🍀💚
Thank you Sharon! I’m so impressed with what you’ve done and can’t wait to see the progress! 👏💚🌿
That is awesome!
good stuff
Great work Andrew! I love this video. its so good getting to know a little more about Alex. I got hooked on her channel when i saw the video on creating a food forest with no swales or irrigation. I'm also on ten acres with no swales or irrigation and i found this video so inspiring! Alex you have such a relaxed peaceful energy and you have been so lovely to learn from. Very happy i came across Dreams of Green and Syntropic Pantry!
Glad you enjoyed it!
