Thanks to all who've watched:) New vid this weekend/ early next week. I have also created a Patreon page for those interested in getting fruit seeds and plants off me. I'll be giving away a lot + selling stock from the orchard as it matures. Cheers for the incredible support , A patreon.com/b2bhomesteading
This homestead is my dream! Love this. People that haven’t grown anything are missing out on the stress relief it brings. And I was surprised how much I got to love my plants.
Hey Aaron; You have a Beautiful Ranch/Farm/Garden there! A. Lil bit of everything, & quite Exotic/Tropical Fruit/Veg./Herb varieties! I really takes alot of work to maintain! Every Gardener knows!🙂 Time/Energy = Delightful Enjoyment! Very Nice Indeed! Thank You! GBU.,SM.,NZ., ✌❤😁👍Green Thumbs up! 👍
Unreal videos. It's so beautiful and satisfying watching anyone talk about something passionately. Great content, no music, no captions, no fancy transitions. Just ripper content.
Tell me more about Sapodilla.
Heather Ross-White here love it . Have always tried to be self sufficient
I live on a small micro homestead in rural Jamaica, I plant MANY fruit trees, but unfortunately I bought land that is half mountainous, so many do not grow vigorously. Still I enjoy it! I envy your soil quality.. IN a tropical environment how to you keep away the MANY insects and weeds? I notice your grass!!!!
Love the walk through the orchard.
New.to your channel and can't get enough ...
Hey Az, greetings from New Jersey, USA!! I recently discovered B2B and have been binge watching every minute for a week now. In response to something you said in this video about whether we're interested in learning things that you've grown up knowing, I'd personally say I'm fascinated with every shred of information you have to share. The love for life you exude is addicting. You take nothing for granted. I can only dream of having one day catching crays, spearing and catching exactly the fish I want to eat that day. Of course I know there's tons of hard work that isn't shown. You all show a deep respect for life and never abuse it. You only take what you can eat and waste nothing. That is a lesson for us all. I love my life should be on shirts on the B2B website! Gods bless the whole team, you brighten my days!! 😊
Please have a beer with you in every episode. 😅
This could actually become a theme
Really inspire me of homestead
Great stuff Az, being self sufficient is becoming more important as the years go by…fond memories of Bali massages was also a highlight 😆
Thank you for this channel. For me, this is the greatest adventure and one on all of our minds. Where I live in Humboldt California Perma Culture is everywhere. Of course our weather is different so it wont all fit but seeing someone follow through and be (hopefully) successful will certainly be a boon. All of the adventures that all of your friends and you have done have moved me. It difficult as I am an adrenal body type and outdoorsman but disabled...I WANT to go do all these things...but what ends up happening is way less pretty. I appreciate being able going with you guys!!! HUZZAH!!!!!!
What a beautiful garden paradise you have there. You must be up in Northern Australia to grow so tropical fruit. I live in Bali and all of the same grows here. Are you going to grow rambutan, lychee, mangosteen, mango. The list goes on and on. What about macadamia nuts? Haas avocados are so nice too. I like how you do the fishing shows and this. A nice mix. You and Strick and Fran make some excellent videos. Keep them coming. Peace, Dennis
What number beer was that Az? Lol.
One thing your viewers should realise is you can do this on a much smaller scale. We are 100% fruit and 90% vege sufficient on 1/2 acre in the middle of Brisbane, so don't let lack of space stop you.
Keep up the good work.
I'm conviced this is how we should all live but as a renter in an unstable market having a few chilli, ginger, turmeric, tomato plants etc is all I can put my heart into.
@@1Psalmaday that is still better than nothing.
I grow a lot of herbs in big pots. Chives,oregano,thyme,parsley, sage and coriander. These make a big difference to the taste of our meals. Keep the faith mate.
@@dougs_urbanfarm Agreed. I'm grateful I have the opportunity as some live in concrete jungles or such small living quarters they can't grow anything.
For us, it's water. We are completely rain reliant and not in a rainforest like Az 🥲
First dragon fruit are always exciting, you have a great assortment of goodie’s.
I think the biggest question you have is how many ways can AZ keel his beer upright.
Great tour video
Hahaha, its an ongoing battle.
@@b2bhomesteadingliterally had the same battle last night lol
I love these and how candid you are while you film them. ❤
Started my food garden at home in South Africa with the ultimate goal of living off my land as you do.
Loved your video, very interesting and informative watch.
Blessings.
It’s really interesting learning about what you are growing on your farm😊
Been a fan of B2B for a good while, Love this homesteading content Strick and love your attitude towards life, continue to inspire
Isn't this chaps name Az? Strick is the one with Fran what did the adventure stranded on the island, correct?
durian plant,tasty fruit u have there
I am now constantly watching your channel because I am just 27 trying to permaculture my mother's land here in the Philippines and luckily we have the same climate so I recognize a lot of the fruits you planted except for the ones that came from south america which got my interest.
This is my dream ❤
With love from Dallas Texas, USA
What an amazing place to have! So cool.
Crack a beer and walk around the garden with Aaron!
Hi Az when is the next episode going to be out. Love the homestead version of B2B. Keep living the dream been watching since the start 💪
I don't know how or why but I have found the used coffee grind (since you have a cafe) to be excellent in the garden for keeping pests off and also veggies love it. Just spread on top or mix into soil. Try an experimental corner. Don't know how the fruit would go with it but tomatoes definitely love it.
Giddy up cowboy.
“You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much mulch.” Gardening/raising fruit trees is always a work in progress. You keep on trying different things, and hoping nature will cooperate a couple of years down the line, and pay off. We had a long wet cold spring which shut down the European honeybees, so none of the trees set any fruit, then in July when everything was coming on in the garden we had 20 minutes of 20 mm hail until it was an inch deep on the ground and everything was shredded to bare stems. A slow recovery lasted into late September when the killing frost ended the season. Now it is averaging -5 to -20 C with -30 C on the way. Oh, well, there is always next year. Seed catalogues will arrive in a couple of weeks, and greenhouse work will start in 4 months.
Started watching the fishing adventures but also close to home is what you are doing with plants/soil! Awesome So stoked that i have a new channel to watch.... I'm from NZ and holiday with family in QLD and will stop in and buy a coffee one day soon. Love this!
Awesome! Thanks Carl, look forward to hopefully seeing you over here
Mate we are definitely interested I can’t speak for everyone but for myself this is gold.
Hey mate, you had "PK" and "boilermaker" in the same vid so I had to comment. My business is PK Welding and Fabrication down here in Mackay. QLD. Loving all the B2B videos. Watched heaps of your video series. You guys are heaps inspiring. I'm a lover of fishing and camping and just plain roughin it. (also want to get into the self-sufficient thing) love gardening too. Make sure you look me up and say G'day if you're ever heading down this way. God Bless! and keep up the awesome content.
Hey Az, been following your vlogs for past 2monts, and love all the Back2Basics YT vlogs ..
and now this B2B homesteading, love this new vlog you have, and some of the tropical trees/ fruits info I know about - lived in northQld and far north Qld for past 12yrs..
keep up the great work, and with this channel
ciao
Really enjoying this new channel I am learning a lot about gardening in regards to mulching, fertiliser ect
Only new to B2B so I have a lot to watch and learn keep up the awesome work will be sure to watch every video you guys upload across all three channels 👍
Love your channel! 😄👍So good to see something local 😍Nice work 😎
Love me some a little bit of everything 🥰
Love this so much! The different varieties of exotic fruit plants is very fascinating🤙 Keep up the great work Az!
What ur doing is so cool mate I love it I love learning new things also keep up the great work ads
As a Thai, almost every house in Thailand grows bananas. It is easy to grow and hardly need any maintenance. However, banana is not only a single tree. They expand very fast and if you want to get rid of the young ones that keep shooting out of the ground, you have to whole young trees with roots. Otherwise, when it gives you the fruits, they will no longer produce any fruit, so you can cut that tree down.
TOO MANY BANANAS IN PATPONG.😂😂😂👍👍
Nice watch mate. Hope for more. Well done..👍🏽
I've not seen your main channel but I love the content on this.
Love this, Az.
Absolute joy mate bloody awesome job, you talked about the dragon fruit then mentioned the next one that comes out once a year, my mates got 12,000 acres in mullowa in WA and it never rains there, long story short we lost his dog and were out looking just on sunset and it sprinkled for 7 seconds and all these wildflowers came out and it never happens heaps of colours everywhere, 6 hours later we saw this meteorite, my mate jumped in the bush 😂😂 don't know why wouldn't of helped but lit the sky up for 5/7 seconds one of the craziest things of seen 🤙🤙
Wow..very nice..I love organic..since m city born woman but started to like countryside away from hostile city..never tried planting but trying now..I recommend to cook banana white colour stem..its healthy and nutritious ..from delhi india..
I was supposed comment that,
But I thought we Bengalis only eat those white stems of banana, good to know others also eat them.
Your in a good location to be self sufficient... see plenty of fish to eat..;))
Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍
That was great mate! and yes learning quite a bit, had a few laughs as well. Keep it coming
With the bananas, honestly just make it a banana row. They self mulch and as you have seen, they multiply themselves. So always best to throw them together, especially since they don't usually survive more than one harvest.
awesome video! Thanks for taking us through your sick setup! 🤙🏻
Great video!! Cooking on the fire never gets old:)
Living in the northern Highlands of Scotland, I dream of a tropical/sub-tropical garden. Really enjoyed this mate. Thanks for sharing
Yess.. nowadays durian can be called the spoil brats 🤭🤭..they need to be pampered a lot and the price can reach the sky even for me where durian are abundant on its season.. greetings from 🇲🇾
“Deepak Chopra…” that was a quick, spontaneous aside - very clever.
In the states we would probably, though not in every case, refer to the sprouts encircling the cut down banana trees as “pups.”
The pups erupting around the finished banana trees will themselves, if allowed to mature, produce bananas, yes?
Cool program… Cheers!
I love watching it, hopefully I can do the same one day here is Brisbane
I almost feel guilty about living in the burbs of Sydney & relying on supermarkets for my meat, veg & salad... What you are doing is nothing short of amazing. I do have Lemon & Lime trees in my yard & a much neglected veggie patch but that's about it.
Awesome video! I hope to have my own homestead soon.
1. How did you learn all the knowledge you have about these plants?
2. Got any pomegranates or kiwis?
Bienvenue au paradis 😉👍
Day lite 4:30 go to 8 is my daily plan then 4:30 pm till dusk 7 ish 🇦🇺👍😇
relaxing as , loved it
Consider dragonfruit can become a no maintenance ground cover in barren land or a natural air layer in your forest with extensive underground fungal growth and propagation of it's small seeds by a leaf-cutter "ant-farm" planted with several whole dragonfruits into the ground, possibly near a certain tree.
Absolutely love this channel as I do my own garden. We live and learn. Wondering how kiwi fruit would grow in your climate. The garden is never finished.
amazing video great farm and fishing i will subscribe today great work
I can give you some tips
Banana can grow in stools, not all plants your plant close or nearby eachothr will grow efficiently due to combating for the same nutrients in the soil that's why some people will plant things like eg. Corn and pea together
It's called 'Gotu Kola'
Your very fortunate to be living the life, congradulations on the efforts..nice;))
Thanks! 😃 Not for everyone, but its what feels right to me
@@b2bhomesteading it's how it should be, not slave's to the banks
Hey Az, been watching your b2b channels for a while now and you've led me towards some incredible inspiration. I would love to know how to started your educational journey on homesteading. Did you have any formal learning with agriculture or sustainable living or did it mostly just come from family history and culture? Thanks for the content and never stop living the dream.
Watch all your stuff, really love the farm
Do you guys work with compost and soil biology? Without seeing in person in a bit harder though I’m seeing evidence of what looks like mineralization challenges. Rich compost and vermaculture (worm compost) can be of great value. Also nitrogen fixer plants and trees with deep tap roots would kickstart that part of cycle progression in soil biology. Any mushroom producers around.... they often make their spent “soil”, actually compost available as the shrooms need high nutrient soils. Fantastic looking place you have there!
Beautiful Az, really like the way you're developing this channel - so jealous as we live down the coast & our weather does not promote the abundance of your place. Love where we live, just need faster growth ✌️🙏
Fun fact: lemon myrtle aka backhousia citriodora was named after famous botanist James Backhouse by Ferdinand von mueller. Great discovery on the back of a tough hands bottle that led me to find out my heritage.
Mangosteen seems to be a difficult fruit to grow. I live in Thailand. Planted a couple of mangosteens in our back lot. No banana trees around to consume available nutrients. Did everything right and the mangosteens still died. Never grew much past the initial sapling stage that I bought them in.
You may need a better anchor system for your cyclone fencing. It would have to be pretty deep and cemented to help hold up a small/medium sized tree. If one approaches, you might be better off pruning off as much as you can to decrease wind drag on the trees. Better to lose a yield than have a long established tree go down. When trees start falling they tend to kill other things around them. I had a palm tree in Florida take out a medium sized grapefruit tree in a Hurricane
Hahaha ur mad brother, I love all them exotic fruit trees u got
Great video, thank you
Put granadillo w/seeds,iced, evaporated milk and sugar blended.it taste very good.
look forward to this more than b2b normal uploads
Love it 😀 ❤
Hopefully you you put more videos out on this channel
Had to pause when you said Tucker at 9 mins mate, wonder if people everywhere round the world understand Aus lingo, last episode you said 'righto well we're going to sit around the camp fire and tell some lies '😂😂😂 l lost it mate, and that was the first thing to pop in my mind, wonder if they understand what you mean or they think why would they lie 😂😂 🤙🤙
Hahah hope people dont take it literally. Thickening the tea on a few yarns is right of passage here ! Cheers for watching Gaz
Where are you located ? Wondering how the durian survive in the winter ?
North Qld, only a few pockets in AUS they can survive. Some varieties are more cold tolerant- but its all new and a big learning for me
Hi I love gardening, I have lots of fruit trees in my garden, I live in England. Just wanted to know would Jack fruits tree thrive in England. Would appreciate your advice thx
I'm not sure, what is the minimum temp?
I think will survive if you dont get frost!
There's a lot of durian tree..boleh buka meja jual durian dah ni.. blackthorn ada?
love your show man
from canada
a lot of my plants like gibger etc i grow in pots easy way to keep under control
Growing vegetables , fruits and herbs used to the norms growing up in the Phillipines. I heard it's becoming popular as an " IT " things to do. As for your Banana you should have planted away from your garden 😉
Hey mate
Where do you purchase the surround sun protection you were speaking of?
I'm in Victoria.
Great
Thanks!
Love this content especially knowing how important food and water is, its the real currency, if you don’t have food and water money isn’t going to buy you 💩 as I believe a lot of people realised through the pandemic
Durian trees look healthy..
They will look amazing in 2 months after the wet season
Im sure i heard you say once your mum was Maltese so you should be able to grow anything just by looking at it 🤣
It's in the blood 👍
You need a yard apron with a couple big pockets!
What type of Squash/Pumpkin are you growing? I noticed one when you walked past.
The only way to remove the banana trees without Herbicide is to dig up the entire plant. Looks like you have a lot of digging to do. Please use the correct style shovel 😁
I have SOOOO much digging to do. hahah better book in a good yoga class
Looking good ;)
Hey Az,
Quick question, we have round about the same climate where we are on the South Coast of South Africa and I grow many of the same trees. Did you graft any of the trees your grow or are you waiting for them to fruit from the seedlings you planted, if not, how did you get them to fruit so soon?
Don’t forget to follow your Australian brother Self Sufficient Me. He’s legend too!
The granadillo you have to blended with the seeds,cause it gives better flavor.
God Bless those who can Afford it
The galanga flower can be eaten fresh with Thai curry. 🍛
