The fruits on my spineless prickly pear cactus were small but very sweet. And the oldest pads that became the woody trunk did grow spines. But my favorite is the young tender pads sliced into strips and roasted in tomatilla sauce. It's part of my garden that I don't water.

Eating nopales is a proven arthritis cure.

I had a beautiful giant spineless cactus 🌵 And my brother’s stupid big dogs killed it 🤷

Awesome job 😊💕👍🏽

I love and use this brilliant idea…but with collecting grass clippings from others if accidentally infected with common herbicides and sprays could be harmful too the garden.

I would rather start with sand than with clay. Great effort to improve your soil.

Greetings to Brisbane from Germany 😊

Takes one bite and trow the rest lol thats how good it taste

Somethings in your past make more sense to me now. You are a natural entertainer and a teacher. I find the two often go hand in hand (to jaw harp).

It amazes me the amount of sounds you can get from a jaw harp. I love the sound of this thing as well.

Well you ain't too shabby yet mate. Love the harp too.

Love that sound.

I have a patch of my yard that just refused to grow anything but dandelions, and I started emptying the catcher when I mowed the lawn around the area that refused to not be dirt.....I now have what I hope is scurvy weed (I'm on the east coast of aus)....but I've also started mowing the scurvy looking patch so it's becoming pretty dense and almost like carpet for the outdoors

That is fantastic mate! I'd love to learn that brass bugger. Um... I only have a large page of other "wannas" like wood turning first.

I have been using the terra cotta wine cooler trick for a few years. It has been great for me...I'm in Michigan USA where it gets really cold. I like the wine coolers because of the straight sides, as it is easy to pull it in and out if the soil.

"they've got a slight lemony flovor which i appreciate "- LOL made me laugh/smile becuase i love accents and because it was so real lolol like an "office" skit or something lol

I’m doing the same. I’m starting with my trees (the ones that have popped up). Once the trees become established the leaves fall, bringing with the nutrients from down deep. The leaf litter, like you point out with the grass is crucial in developing soil.

Just planted my first spinless prickly pear paddle for the first time! Thanks so much for the info.

Awesome clip. Is the mouth harp yours?

You can also just use yeast extract...

10 years is a long wait. You could make it happen in a year by using compost

Glad to see it was a good start for ya mate.

Very impressive. Thank you. You know I love the mouth harp as well. Your vetiver has also saved my building site. I'll have to have a crack at one bunch.

Dave, Hello! Thank you for video! My name is Serge. Ukraine. When I see the warms I am always happy. But do you have any experience what to do with "gentlemen in black velvet" (moles)? Last 2020 year I had about 7 moles. They are everywhere in the places I grow Garlic, Grapes, Potatoes, Strawberry. The best place they have their headquarter is composting pit because of the warms there. When I have moles I have no warms. I hate these creatures. I got all 7, as I used 5 different technologies but not for this year, the mole is more clever then me. I hope it's only one. I could not catch it. Sorry but I even killing the moles as I have a shortage of warms because of them. I even see how they are hunting the warms. Believe me-it's like a movie. Dave, any ideas how to fight? What do you do in your country?

That's great but who's got ten years to wait!

Those grass clippings likely have herbicides in them. They are great for building organic matter but not sure if put them in a garden for edibles….

This is the first time I have wanted a nutribullet. I use my spice grinder but this looks like it works better actually.

Can you grow corn in this soil?

I just want to know if you could send me some seed please to Australia Vic

Can you send me some?

I always enjoy a look around your place mate. Such an interesting way to grow.

We have it all over our backyard in the spring / early summer and I've always thought it was a pretty ground cover. I didn't know it was a weed :-( It's a very rocky soil and very hot here in San Diego so I'm thrilled when it shows up!

Please share some prickly pear paddle recipes. 😍

Dave it's a shame they didn't introduce the spineless variety into Australia.... It would have been so good for agriculture..... My ancestors told me about prickly pears when I was a child.... When I went back to madeira to see where we came from on my second trip there I asked my grandmother about going to pick them... So off we went into the mountains, my grandmother at 65, we picked them had to be careful not to intrude on people's land... That's why she came with because age didn't want us picking fruit on other people's plots.... Picked them brought them back and she showed me how they cut the fruit open..... Over the years I got more interested in these kinds of foods for meals and forage for animals.... I think this spineless variety has alot to offer. I'm looking currently for spineless variety pads, or worse case scenario seeds....

Does this one not have any spines at all? Not even the round top part of the pad?

Really informative video! I just ordered some cuttings today. I saw that you have dragon fruit with the pears does that harm growth at all? My dragon fruit are still every small dudes maybe 6". I'm glad to know the root well as that's one of my fears with cactus. My aloe is almost a year old but he doesn't look that way because of pesky cats.

Me too.

I think the first cactus you show belongs to Opuntia cochenillifera also known as Cochens.

It's amazing what a transformation can be made. I'm still working on my building site but it's slowly getting there.

I have often admired your ability to grow vertically so well, especially using recycled material. Very clever.

Mmmm.. It's you mamie.

I can't find the wine coolers for love or money. But, you can get cheap unglazed pots everywhere and just block up the hole. Thinking about chucking a heap in my dirt beds.

I was shocked to see you eat one fresh! I had no idea that you didn't have to cook them. I always supposed (wrongly) they were some poor person's desert food. I doubt my Rozie would have a crack at one but I'm a tad interested....

That was a bit frantic.

That's an interesting way to do it.

I don't recognise most of these places. North side or south side of town?

i am wondering to know how all this shit got in to australia?!

nightmares...so many

trippy
