    About This Video:
    With the wet season here, it's time to plant this years crop of yams. The previous yam garden, a large basket type enclosure, worked well in discouraging predators from eating the growing tubers. But with time the cane enclosure rots. So I switched to a method of protecting yams by planting the seed yams under a pile of rocks. Early tests prove that this method protects them from being eaten. The rocks are too heavy for scrub turkeys to lift and wild pigs seem not to associate the pile of rocks with food.
    So the next step was to make a garden consisting of individual mounds fortified with neat stonework. This was done by building layers of stone circles around the mound while adding soil with each layer. A yam bulb was planted in each mound during this process. A wooden stake was placed in each mound for the yam vine to grow up and horizontal rafters were tied to the top of these stakes to give the vines something to grow across. By the end of the project the yams had started growing with some coiling around the stakes.
    About Primitive Technology:
    Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber.

    The wet season started and so fire related projects are harder to do. So I planted this years crop of yams using a different technique. The stones covering the mounds protect the yams from predators such as bush turkeys and pigs. The birds are to weak to lift the stones and pigs don't see the piles of stones as food. In time the yam vines will completely cover the structure. Then they will produce smaller yams on the vine and larger yams under the ground.

    If your yams are like most, you don't need to keep the yam tuber attached to the sprouted eye. Simply remove the sprouts off of the yam, and keep them soaking in water. Within a week or two, they will have sprouted roots. This is a slip. You can then just plant the slip. It ensures that you don't end up with a rotting tuber at the base of the plant.

    With editing, it sometimes seems like everything works first try. How about showing us the times when an idea fails, and then you working out how to fix it?

    I know you're obviously working towards some great technological advancement, but I'd honestly really love to see more of these kind of 'everyday' videos that show things that would have to be done as a part of general primitive life; stuff like bush tucker, making a chair or table, spoons to eat with, etc. Things that would have gone towards making life better in little ways. :)

    It's so exciting to see all the cool, different technological developments and breakthroughs evolve over time through these videos. Between the first steps in iron production, those experiments with waterproof cement, and now the yam production getting a bit more advanced, it will be cool to see when a more advanced hut/structure comes along to tie all of this together as the new home base
