amazing!! I love how much it has grown in 5 years! This is something everyone should implement.
+MIgardener | Simple Organic Gardening & Sustainable Living Thanks Luke! I may have told you before, but you have been an inspiration to us. Thank you for continuing to share great content and information.
James, is there anything different you would do after learning from this five years of growing your food forest?
Also how much land are you using for this food forest?
James, more videos please we need stress relief from the reality of our state of country. Working on building our food forests is just about the best thing to think about.
Planning where to put an apple tree seems so small when families are being ripped apart but maybe growing food for our communities may help in the future. God bless us all for what we have and what we don't.
Demolishing my existing forest to create a food forest and plan to incorporate hugelkultur as well! So excited! These are the best videos, thank you so much for the tips, the guidance, encouragement and everything! Thanks to you sharing content in your amazing food forest, my husband if finally on board with it. He didn’t understand the concept and thought it was a stupid idea. He even wants to put in a real greenhouse!
🌿💕🌿
How WONDERFUL IS THIS...
It's beautiful. Getting so big. I have watch when the trees were so little and you couldn't hardly see them. Go job !!
Been following along for quite some time and I feel like your place has finally come into it's own. Very impressed and inspired.
You are an inspiration! We should all be doing this!
Nice. Giving me a lot of ideas for the future. Good luck!
+davedaddy101 awesome! I have updates every week of the progression too. The newest one was a good one 😁
The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni nice, I'll check it out.
You are my hero.
AMAZING ! THANK YOU THANK YOU! The documentation of your food forest project helped me explain to my family what I wanted to do. Seeing the transformation of your garden over the years helped me show them the possibilities for our own place and get them on board. I also learned how important it is to share the experience. We have four giant cottonwoods that are coming down and EVERY bit of them will be used on our small property. My neighbors thought I was nuts...so I shared your channel and Permaculture Homestead..they're less worried now. :-) Blessings and much appreciation!!!
+PaisleyPermaculture you welcome! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment and show your support. This is the reason I make videos, for instances like this. Comments like these inspire me to keep
Going!!
THAT IS AN AMAZING EDIBLE EDEN! BEAUTIFUL FOOD FOREST. THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS! GOD BLESS.
Very nice, thanks for sharing?
wonderful...
Your food forest is amazing.
Amazing!
you know i love your food forest, i watch every vid dan. people dont know how long it takes.
Nice! The grapes are really starting to produce a lot.
I can't believe it's been that long already, I remember when you were first building your garden. The food forest looks amazing!
AWESOME.
+LARK'S GARDENS thank you my friend 😁
Food all day, every day!
Bingo! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! One problem I'm running into both before and after I retired, was the company that bought the apartments I lived in, increased the rules after I moved in, to the point that they wanted no potted plants even on my huge private patio. I moved of course, but my senior complex now has begun to institute more rules as well, trying to control what plants we can have on our patios. Has anyone else run into this? I'm in California.
Summer pruning encourages fruiting. Cut those trees back to remind them what their job is ;-p
I can't put my finger on what's different but I felt like you just upped your video production. Great update!
Awesome video, I love your food forest.
Thank you for sharing this video
The videos keep getting better and better
I tend to grow berries myself, especially raspberries.
Your videos continue to inspire ! ! Keep on growin' ! !
I enjoyed the video! Keep it up!
It looks awesome James !👏👏
congratulations! thanks for the tour, it's really inspirational.
would you mind telling me what the size of the food forest is, and how many fruit trees (canopy layer) you have? Trying to figure out a good density for planting. permaculture recommends denser planting, but I like that you're able to walk through comfortably and have enough sunlight for the shrubs etc. how far did you space the trees that feel like they're working the best for you?
Great stuff man, The food forest has come along nicely! What an inspiration. Keep it up!
Oh boy, you're so lucky
I can't wait to see the famous Jersey tomatoes 😁
+Old School Home & Garden with Sasha me too!!! I wait all winter for them
never seen a hazelnut bush before! Where I'm from, they grow wild on trees! coool!
So good
Thank you Ivan 😁👍
Nice, looks really good. How much space are you working with? Raking in the rewards! We are on our third year of our fruit forest.
What an amazing garden you have! I hope one day I can have something similar and eat garden fresh veggies/fruits everyday.
I was wondering if your dog ever goes into your garden? I imagine the some of the fruits drop to the ground and can be eaten by the dog. If so, what measures do you take so your dog doesn't eat grapes off the ground? Only asking because I have a dog too and have decided not to plant grape vines. The sole reason being that my dog has the tendencies of a goat and would definitely eat any stray grape pieces.
can you show us what your soil looks like under the chips and have you added any compost to your soil?
James, I was wondering where you first started in your knowledge of plants and permaculture!? You know what you're talking about and what you're doing and I was wondering how you got your start!
I started with reading a few of Joel Salatins books, then went to Agricultural Testament by Sir Albert howard. Then got into Permaculture books and watched a lot of videos from Geoff Lawton and Sepp Holzer online. Then I read Sepp Holzers book and a number of other ones on permaculture. Then I got and read what most would call the Permaculture Bible, the book Bill Mollison wrote that he used to teach all his classes from, its in textbook form. Throughout that I have also been practicing what I was reading the past 5 years.
Its been a great journey and I wouldn't have traded it for anything. Thank you for the kind words my friend. My advice to you though, start the reading and start the process of gardening now when the desire is strong, before it fades and may never come around again.
I'm midway through the Joel Salatin stage :D Have read two of his books and have a few chapters left in "You Can Farm" and have loved every second of them! I'll start dabbling in everything else for sure! Planted 5 comfrey splits recently that are taking off and started composting with grass clippings from my side yard business and wood shavings from my woodturning. Amazing stuff, "DIYing" isn't it!?
I love that you are self taught! I've always been a "I should take a course" type person but here lately I've realized books and UA-cam are MORE than enough. I just need the "do it, screw it up, and try again" mentality to take a firmer hold.
Keep up the great vids my man! You have a viewer from down here in Texas now!
where are you guys located.. your forest is amazing
New Jersey
I am wanting to plant some hazelnut trees but they tell me they have to be 4 metres apart. What diameter is your trees if you don't mind me asking. Your grapes are looking really good
Nice place, and loved how your poochie was looking epic.
Is the nectarine correct for chilling hours for your area?
Fantastic! Really love it. I'm doing a much more modest version of the same. Keep it going!
+MrChipGardener thank you! That's awesome, I'd love to see what you have going on
would have done this years ago....only problem is no land....one day tho
+dictionaryzzz yeah I hear ya. I would love to do those on an even bigger scale one day. But not enough land,
It's amazing how fast stuff starts taking off...I'm in the beginning stages of building infrastructure. Do you know of any active permaculture groups in the Sussex County Area?
Yes it is my friend. Fantasic! No, not really ill let you know if I hear of anything though
Thanks, much appreciated!
What planting zone are you in? Looks like zone 5 or 6. Your forest is beautiful!
Newbie question anyone can answer: when pruning, just drop foliage there on forest floor yes? Or do you feed chickens all the foilage like Paul Gauschi? Do chickens eat anything? Thank you
can you make a list of all the stuff you grow? thanks!
what camera, video looks awesome
Looks nice. How do you think it might go (food forest in 5 yrs) in a cold climate? ........
As long as you choose crops that are cold hardy and do your research you should be fine. Check out what Sepp Holzer did in a very cold climate. You can create small micro climates for warmer crops and plants to grow. Thanks for watching!
what are the songs used with your intro music to the vid?
I've heard the mash up somewhere before.
Nice video!
Pretty Lights ,Finally Moving. Thanks for watching :)
How long and thick did you have the chips down before you planted the trees?
4-6 inches for annuals. 6-8 inches for young fruit trees. 8-16 inches for mature fruit trees 😁😁
I put the mulch down in the fall, then pull it back and plant into the dirt in the spring. Then bring the wood chip mulch back around the base of the trees
Bro, have you ever air layered?
how long do you think you can maintain this level of production without ever adding wood chips ?
it depends cause since I added wood chips for so many years I am building a thick beautiful soil which is packed with nutrition. And more importantly my perennials have grown so much that they now produce a lot of leaf drop and organic matter like sticks etc. These can be chopped and dropped and used to feed the system. So there will come a point when the system is sustainable. There will also come a point where the system is producing way more then it needs to support itself.
It took work to get it started or "jumpstarted" in my case by adding a lot of organic matter in the form of wood chips, but in the long run it will be a sustainable system because it will produce more energy then it takes to create and sustain it.
I choose to continue to add wood chips though, if I can do it then why not. Its like the option of getting more fertility and faster for free. To me its a no brainer.
What is your general location? Location information would help me use the information in your great video.
+Madronaxyz I live on the shore in New Jersey, zone 6B. Thanks for watching 😁
