  • The search and acquisition of food is the probably the greatest force of motivation for most living creatures. Without food we die, so it only makes sense that we humans would do everything in our power to secure reliable food sources. Such ambitions have undoubtedly led to wars and political unrest in the world.
    In this video I prepare an area to plant a “three sisters garden” consisting of corn, beans and squash. The hot dry climate makes irrigation very challenging but I’m hoping that the summer rains will soon begin. This series will be ongoing so be sure to stay tuned for the next video.

    My equipment:
    Camera: Nikon D7500 and GoPro Hero7 Black
    Sound: Zoom H6
    Editing: Final Cut Pro X on MacBook Air
    Location: Parts Unknown
    FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
    Who films you?
    Me. I travel alone, shoot, edit, upload, everything, all alone. On a few occasions I may be accompanied by a friend, but that has been very rare.
    Do you stay out there permanently?
    No, I usually stay out in a wilderness area for about a week and then hike out and return to a city for editing and uploading. I have family and other obligations to take care of as well.
    How many cameras do you use?
    Usually I use just one camera. When I have underwater scenes then I also use a GoPro camera. I get different angles by moving the camera around and repeating the action to create a more cinematic viewing experience for the audience.
    Where is this place?
    In order to protect the integrity of the natural landscape I prefer to be very vague about the locations I use. There are places that I used to visit that were so beautiful and untouched but the consequences of social media brought all kinds of people to visit and sadly some people do not respect nature and have badly damaged these places. Therefore I do not share locations.
    Where did you get your sandals?
    I first started wearing sandals on outdoor adventures in February 2014. I’m so glad that I did because wearing these Luna Sandals has really helped strengthen my feet. You can see their selection of adventure and running sandals at this link: www.lunasandals.com/?rfsn=102...
    (Note: I receive an affiliate commission from any sales derived from clicking on the link above)
    Do you workout?
    Yes, I workout, but not in a gym. I have some weights that I use and also do a lot of bodyweight exercises. I also run and sometimes swim. I hike frequently to collect wild foods and to shoot these videos so I'm very active all the time.
    Are you vegan or vegetarian?
    I wish I could maintain my health on a primal diet that does not include animals but unfortunately that did not work well and I ended up with health problems as a result of those attempts. From my studies, observations of nature, and personal experience I have come to believe that the best diet for optimal human health is a primal diet (paleo).
    Do you get lonely when you’re alone?
    No, I don’t get lonely. I’m actually so busy shooting video, taking photos and doing so many other things like making cordage, cooking, weaving, etc. that I really don’t have time to think about my lonely condition. Sometimes when something profound happens on an adventure I can’t wait to share it with people, but other than that I do not get lonely.
    How many languages do you speak?
    My first language is English but I also speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese. I also speak very little Russian. I may soon begin learning more languages.
    How old are you?
    I was born in 1972. At the time of this video I was 49.
    Where did you get the music in your videos?
    This series is the first one that I am making all the music myself. I recently made a drum and maracas (rumba shaker). I am now using them to create the intro and ending music in my videos, but before in the past I have used royalty free music from several sources including UA-cam. Sometimes I bought the music but usually it was free.

    For keeping your plants moist & watered while you're gone, have you considered making & burying jars with tiny holes for deliberate water leakage? Small holes down at the base, not very many, but like 2-3 pinholes at most, spaced out a little and facing toward the plants. Bury about 4 of them around the mounds, maybe even a fifth one in the center. Make sure they have lids, fill them full of water, and set a rock on each lid to keep out wild animals. You'll still want to water them when you're there, but the jar trick should provide a good underground water source for the roots to find.

    Вы вернулись! Очень рада! Сад замечательный. Я знаю, как сделать его всегда влажным. Нужно несколько сосудов с водой и ткань длинным лоскутом. Один конец ткани в сосуд с водой, а второй конец вокруг растения. Ткань насыщается водой и медленно идет по длине к растению. Это работает достаточно хорошо на длительное время. Мы делали так, когда уходили в отпуск и закрывали офис на долгое время. Комнатные растения выживали. Если вы планируете приезжать к саду раз в неделю - это поможет. Попробуйте. Спасибо за видео! Желаю успеха.

    I`ve planted berries and vegetables - blueberries, lingonberries, wild blackberries, gooseberries, black currants, wild strawberries, mint and quince.
    Vegetables - zucchini, pumpkin, rhubarb and seasoning (green onions, parsley and dill).
    What is surprising, is that everything has grown, almost everything is blooming and something has already begun to bear fruit. It brings a kind of joy, and it is very hard work!
    I hope your garden will also bring you a harvest, and everything will work out for you!

    another advantage of mulching the bottom is it provides a place for oxygen for the roots deeper in the earth and helps retain water instead of letting it drain away which all helps with root development. perhaps next year you could line the bottom with sticks in a sort of hugelkultur hybrid system. especially considering how dense your soil is. also after you harvest this year I would recommend mulching your garden bed very thickly. this will help build structure as well as retain moisture your going to get out of season (fall rain, snow) then when sowing season starts just dig it in the top 6 inches, sow, then reapply a thinner mulch layer. to thick whilst in season can lead to pest problems as well as rot at the base of the stems. of course all this is just suggested based mainly off of observation. although I do have limited experience with dry compact soil in southern New Mexico which is similar to the area your in and a system similar to what I explained worked for me although I did have plenty of access to water from a hose lol.

    Hi, Chad. It’s me, a gardener from a similar arid southwest landscape. You’ve done a very good job prepping soil and getting plants in the ground, so I thought I might share a couple lessons I’ve learned that may help. Amending soil will always work in your advantage, specially adding organic matter (which you’ve already done quite well). Always mulch over the top of the soil with a thick layer of softer detritus (leaves, juniper bark, decomposed wood) and then some heavier matter (sticks and twigs) to keep it from blowing away and to compact it some. Native plants will always be your friend, specially native legumes or plants in the fabacae family since they will fix nitrogen into the soil! Native plants have spent thousands of years adapting to whatever your conditions are, so you will end up doing a lot less work to accommodate them. Finally, just mimic some of the conditions created by real ecosystems (you’ve already done this with the three sisters method), plants working together can do a lot!
    So far I think you’ve done amazing and a lot of this you will already know, but I hope maybe it’ll be some help!

    To preserve humidity in the soil longer for your garden when you not there,just make a big tub of clay,fill it with a good mix of compost and water,make it juicy,put plants on it,cover with soil,add a good coat of bark mulch....then above the plants make sort of roof with branches,the idea is to minimize the sun heat,so evaporation slow down on the surrounding area.

    Hey chad I had an idea. You could always tie sticks across the branches of the trees to make little shelves, and to keep rodents from climbing the tree, build a cone of clay around the trunk (like a mushroom cap) so they climb partway but cant access the rest of tree? Like add some clay around it and let it dry then keep adding to the rim (so the whole thing doesnt collapse) and then you'll have a high dry place safe from rodents. Just a thought! 😁

    You are so inspirational and brave to take on gardening. It is not easy and not everything will succeed - but at times, something will, better than expected and then the rewards are sweet.
    Couple of simple hints from a biologist and a fellow home gardener:
    - use fresh and green mulch, such as green leaves and grasses. This will both moisturize and fertilize the ground. Avoin ferns tho, as their leaves will contain chemicals that inhibits other plant’s growth.
    - If you, during your travels, come across herbivore animal dung such as deer or rabbit droppings, adding it near, but not at, your plants, will better the soil structure and fertilize.
    - Next year, separate the two seedlings grown in one pot and plant them more far apart. As you will see, they will become large plants and they will produce and grow better of not quite so close to member of same species.
    - As other people in the comments section have said, when ground is dry and sandy, mulch, mulch, mulch. This will also prevent weeds.
    Good luck! ❤️

    i find the scenes of your washing yourself with the yucca leaves to be very beautiful. there's this strong sense of gratitude in your manners during those scenes, it really shows how the simple, more humble things can have a much bigger impact on our soul. no wonder you'd rather be in your hut! hahah
    that garden is looking great, i'm very happy to see it! squash roots definitely take a lot of space, but usually their yield is as generous as their roots. i really hope the garden yields this year, even if just a little. we'll see how it goes.
    really looking forward to your next videos. take as long as you need to make them, there is no rushing quality content. 🙏

    Ooh, nice fireplace door! Also, wanted to add that I really like how you show the whole plant, a close-up of a distinctive feature, and give both the common and botanical name for these plants that you're using. That's probably a tedious thing to add so many times, but it is deeply appreciated. i don't live in the Southwest, but I'm learning the plants down there, and learning to associate their uses with their appearances. If I ever get stuck in those deserts, I know I'll have a much better chance of finding useful things for survival.
    A question: Do you plan on using those spent palo verde pods for composting? By burying some that are dry and some that are still green, mixing them with bits of other plant matter and a good amount of water, then covering that with a layer of soil to help slow evaporation, I'd imagine you could create some pretty good conditions for it. Additionally, perhaps you can scatter them around your plants, along with some roughly woven-in-place matting from juniper bark on top to further encourage moisture retention?

It looks like a fantastically good fit, tbh. Getting the dimensions just right must've been a chore, since wet adobe is bound to crumble if you took it out. Did you line the opening with bark strips, insert the clay, and leave it to dry in place while you went home for a bit? I've seen you do things that I'd do myself, but I've also seen you do innovative things I hadn't considered. This is a very enjoyable series, thank you.

    Hey Chad great to have another wonderful video from you! The garden looks to have a great start but be sure to add LOTS of mulch to the top if you want to have any chance at retaining water in your climate. I'm talking 3 inches or more. Use some of the juniper bark that you seem to use for everthing else.😆

      @@ChadZuberAdventures you could use also charcoal (as it acts like a sponge, absorbing water, releasing it slowly and filtering it in the process), with minimal risk of pests. Also, you could use the mulch that you use at 19:53 to mulch the bottom of the garden, but I'd still recommend the boxes to protect the corn and other crops from little visitors until they've grown a bit more.

    To retain moisture, you need more mulch, at least 10-15 centimeters. For mulching, not only dry, but also fresh grass or leaves of shrubs and trees will fit. Even pea skins.
    To reduce water waste, you should try to do root watering.

  • @AaronC.

    5:30 one thing: there were some techniques used by ancient south-americans to naturally water the soil, such as burying a "olla" full of water (a clay pot very wide at the bottom, with a narrow entrance and a impermeable cap to avoid the liquid evaporation from which entrance) and letting it naturally water the soil as it get's dry. It's a way to water the crops right at the roots, avoiding the liquid evaporation at the surface.
    Anyway, good video!

    Hi Chad, I love your channel, you are truly an inspiration for how you are living the primitive lifestyle hands-on. I have a suggestion that could help to improve your soil, though it will take time. Instead of discarding the green Palo Verde pods, dig them into small holes in the edges of your garden where the plants haven’t spread to yet. The pods will decompose over the year and improve the soil structure and fertility - basically in-ground compost. The decomposed plant parts will also help to retain moisture within the soil. I do this in my non-primitive garden at home and it works great.

    • @ChadZuberAdventures

    Hi, I recommend from Iran. As it was seen, the challenge is to keep the plants moist while growing. My suggestion is very strong, which was also common in ancient Iran. To keep the plant moist, you need to prepare pottery that is deep. The roots of the plant should be long and the pottery should not be cooked so that water can pass through it in the form of moisture. You will plant these pottery in the place, you will fill them with water and there is no need for irrigation. Be

    Привет!)
    1. Когда ты перемешал мульчу, ты убрал барьер, и вода не будет задерживаться.
    2. Удобрение от мульчи получится только через 1-2 года.
    3. Чтобы легко извлекать растения из горшков, нужно предварительно их хорошо полить. Это так же важное условие при посадке, потому что помещаешь в грунт уже с влагой (больше шансов, что растение вырастит).
    Удачи!))
