Have you created a design yet for your garden? Let me know!
Hello brother hau are you..?
@@shobhansinghparmar6348 Good thanks! You alright too?
Not yet but i've been going through your "year round vegetables" guide so I hope to do so soon. I'd like to homestead in the future so i'm excitedly following your journey. All the best Moreno
I just downloaded your Year Round Vegetables. But I did already create designs for my gardens. First for the garden in my front yard at home and then for the allotment garden I rent since early 2021. In both designs I made use of the permaculture design principles, which I learned mostly from a year-long online PDC-course.
Its been a long time. Hope your daughter is well now. Its too long time to update. I didnt want to ask for update because of you personal time. But your updates are magic. Before it gets out of our mind you should add one. Even its a long time. Put shorts also.
My suggestion in your is garden, you have your own place and such a big forest around your surrounding. Why cant you grow honey bees. Easily, you can accomadate 20 boxes. Bees create more honey in box but you can harvest 50% of it. Anyways you can harvest 5 to 10 kgs per boxes. It means 100 to 200 kgs per year.
This bees also pollinates your garden and bringing up production.
Nice to see you are inspiring a lot of "Portuguese" off grid channels! Everybody suddenly using swales for water retention 😉 Now seriously, great work! Your place, though very different from France, is looking awesome.
Another Awesome video, on how to do it PROPERLY. Thanks fo all this great information, Many new people to Portugal would benefit this direction. 😊
Your homestead/gardens look amazing. You are living the dream.
Thanks! It's always been my dream to live the dream. And nothing comes closer than this lifestyle :)
@@TheDutchFarmer we all behind you as we can live in our dream us well
I just watched all your videos since moving to Portugal. I find it absolutely amazing that you not only know what to do on that land but you understand WHY you are doing it this way. I am in awe! Wonderful ❤️❤️❤️
My garden space is long and narrow. The best thing I did when I designed my garden was to add 2 compost areas. One is close to the processing area (close to the cellar, where I have an outdoor sink and table) and one at the other end which is my chicken enclosure. Now, when I harvest, I can throw things in the closest compost pile and I don't have to walk a long distance. Looking forwrd to seeing your new garden!
I'd love to c yours., sounds pretty 👌🏼.
That's smart design! Helps so much reducing walking back and forth. Great job :)
Your videos are so helpfull. I'm in the prosess to start a community garden here in South Africa and I am following your advice step by step. Thank you for your uploads
Awesome! Good luck setting up your community garden :)
My hints: Plan your trees first. They will take years to bear fruit (and cast shadows on your land too).
Check out the local markets. Which fruits/vegetables can you buy in good quality and at moderate prices? For example carrots and potatoes. They don't have to be grown primarily.
Observe how and where rainwater drains after heavy rain and take measures to channel or dam it.
But be aware of effects that doing those things may cause. Such as, a tree(s) downhill suddenly not getting the amount of water they're used to, or your damn washing out in a heavy rain event, just all those things. Geoff Lawton shows a lot about his systems in some fairly recent videos of his farm in NSW, AU, after a huge rain event in his area.
Welcome back Moreno, glad to see you survived this terribly hot and dry summer, and all those crazy fires up there ! Now you just have to get trough winter and all is fine ) Good luck for your family project, is looking great
Hi Marta, thanks! Winter barely exists here (the way we know winter). I think the coldest we had during the day last year was 12 degrees Celcius and at night -1C. That's quite manageable! 😀
Sir you are giving very good knowledge to create new garden from zero, that also through steap by steap, i liked it, and will follow it. Thanks to you
Very nice and helpful video. We bought a piece of land in Spain two years ago and due to work commitments we are going quite slow. One thing I've noticed in relationship to sun exposure is that sunny can mean different things in Central Europe or in southern Europe. We have more success growing many vegetables in a half shade that are supposed to be grown in full sun. We also discovered that tomatoes are incredibly drought tolerant and can grow without watering perfectly. Specially if grown without a support and allowed to roam near the ground. Anyway, looking forward to the next video!
I absolutely love your firepit area, the surrounding garden softens the edges. Great design 👍
Hi Sharon, thanks! It's starting to look like something! Still some great features will be added to the fire pit that will really make it amazing. Can't wait to implement them :)
Moreno, great video full of information that anyone can apply to their situation. It has been fun watching your homestead grow and take shape based on the vision you have for it. Thanks for always being a learner and a teacher!
Great landscaping. Great video, as usual. Its getting beautiful.
Thanks Antonio!
Glad you back on track after your break while your daughter was getting better , hurrah
Moreno, you and your wife are so amazing! I greatly admire your journey, and I've been learning a great deal on how to use garden space in a smart and efficient way. I hope to take your gardening course one day soon! Thank you for sharing this great information. I love following your channel.
Your video editing and the nice shots make it really come to life. Practical and realistic. Great content. Very helpful. Thanks so much for sharing.
I am so glad to see you all are ok and doing awesome projects.
We are going to move to a house at the beginning of the next year. we already started palling the garden and this video helps ! thank you
I am also very keen to see how your garden is going to develop
Great to watch your videos ,like anything in life is all about the thinking and the vision before the realisation
thanks for sharing looking forward to your next one.
I learned a lot from your lecture. It is a good information for planting vegetables and other kind of crops.
You give such great advice! Some things sound logical but when you're on it they easily can be overseen.
Thanks,this is very helpful! Greetings from Austria!💜💜💜💜💜
Beautiful views from your new home and your gardens are amazingly impressive.
Thanks Curtis!
Thank you for all the helpful tips!
Digging this. I would love to help. Gardening has always been my favorite hobby.
Thank you for the free download.
Bought a small holding on 1 Acre in Caldas da Rainha it’s been a year and I’ve put down 12 stations for irrigation. My biggest mistake as you alluded to was not knowing the land (flood areas, soil types, wind direction, fire areas, orientation etc ) I started to plant as I’m crazy about gardens and had immediate losses, due poor preparation (preparation = gold performance) So I started again getting landscaping done, preparing compost, designing, laying a 12 station irrigation. I wish I had your knowledge but at 61 not so technically inclined. My biggest toil was removing 150m of giant reed (canash) which I thought was a great thing, however they held back water flooding in winter, so I’d suggest do nothing until you’ve seen all the seasons.
Remember to dig a well in middle of the summer for low water table or it’ll definitely not last 12 months. As you said sellers will say water in wells 12 months of the year, but if they not used, it’s meaningless, check rainfall maps instead in your area and check with surrounding farmers (the best people I’ve met are Portuguese farmers, but you need to act respectfully on arrival) . I’m learning a ton off your site, basically addicted 😂 thanks for guidance, can’t wait for more gems.
Thank you for the download. Enjoying following your journey.
It's good to see another of your videos. Are you planting a winter garden? My husband and I just bought a cottage in a retirement community and will be taking over a minimal garden. I want to expand it, but in a way that is manageable for the elderly. I would like to do what you do and I only reluctantly admit I can't. Still I will do something!
Definitely! We're building the garden as we speak :) Maybe consider a couple of raised garden beds? Perhaps there is someone there that can help you out to get started... Otherwise have a look into container gardening. Easy to setup, not much space needed, and easy to manage. Good luck with growing!
Those large rocks in the background of your video where you are talking over the video, look like ancient megalithic stones. I know that sounds weird. However, the stones look perfectly cut and placed. Fitting into each other perfectly
Great video, so much to learn!!!
Great information... Thank you!
Well, we could not wait for you to start planting..... great info.
Thank you!
wish you a lot of success 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks! You too!
terimakasih atas videonya, saya juga punya keinginan untuk menjadi petani di desa, tapi untuk sementara sekarang ini saya sedang bekerja dikota untuk menabung, mudah-mudahan bisa seperti anda
The biggest setback in my property is that the gophers eat everything from kale to rose bush roots (even those that are in chicken wire cages with a 6-inch ‘lip’ above ground level
I haven't had to deal with gophers yet! Sounds difficult!
Heel mooi garden, great video thank you🌻🌷
Thank you!
Fijn om kennis en kunde te delen.
Lang leven de realistische dromers !
Hi Moreno! Great video as always! Loving your project … I should visit you when I am in Galicia (Spain). Btw … do you have a design for the pit fire we have built there? Looks amazing!
Gratitude and admiration for what you do and share!
All the very best,
Germán
Hi German, thanks. I have no design for the fire pit, but the patio is 6 meters in diameter, fire pit 1.5M. Dug down some 30 centimeters. Filled with a layer of gravel, crushed rock, river sand, flagstones and a lime mortar. First time we ever did it, but it turned out quite nice. Pretty straight forward process!
Thank you so so much! Btw, I am viewing and enjoying your Market garden course, and keep learning more more.
My very best wishes for you and your family!
Germán
Cool
It's good to see how hard you guys are working I'm I'm reaching out to you from northern Arizona don't know your soil looks a lot like what it is South of me at about 5000' altitude in Prescott Prescott do you have an NPK reading on what the native soil is before your amendments?
Hi! No, we never bothered with soil tests. Unless we think there might be a pollution problem and we need to know for sure, it's not necessary.
Nice
Very good
Thanks!
Moreno, muchas gracias por todo lo que compartes, te pido un favor: podrás hacer traducir los vídeos al Español???? Toda la comunidad hispanohablante estará tan agradecida como yo. Desde ya, muchas felicitaciones pir tu increíble trabajo!
Thanks
No problem!
Hey man nice to see your efforts it's inspired me.I always wanted to ask how much was cost of your land to buy?
Hi thanks for the video! one thing, do you water with drip or overhead? is it possible to water just with overhead (except tomatoes and maybe other fruits) ?? thanks!
We water with both. Always have. Overhead is great for increasing germination rate of direct seeded crops and for cooling down crops in summer.
Very informative video Moreno.Thanks!
I've got my money saved for land, I just can't figure out how I will be able to earn some money whilst establishing the farm. I've heard of some folk who started with their savings, build their dream property ,then ran out of money and couldn't earn any so they had to leave It. So I don't want to fall into this trap.
If you can figure out other sources of income while you are building your farm that will help. Perhaps a small rental unit on your farm if allowed, or raising animals for breeding? Definitely put thought into this before you start your farm so you don't get caught out. Good luck.
👍👍👍👍👍👍!!!
Question.. video April 2021.. what is the composition of the medium you use for planting the vegtables in.. because its a raised bed above the soil. Thank you.
At that time we used a compost made from 30% horse manure 70% green waste compost. Aged minimum 6 months.
❤
How big will the new garden be?
how much is the price of agricultural land with an area of 1 hectare there, sir?
I bought in Indonesia the price of 1 hectare of agricultural land is around $ 12500
🌟👏👍🍀💐
Do you have volunteering facility?
Do you know there is some people from the Nederland who bought a land in Portugal near you. You should contact them, they are very interesting. Their name is Project Camp they have videos, they are very scientific about the habitat and others.
Ik woon op het water. Tips voor een tuin?
microgreens :)
Chinampas / floating gardens. Best een leuk project ;)
Hi The Dutch Farmer
Hi Charlie Boy ;)
@@TheDutchFarmer How are you
Hello
Ola!
Plz start putting SUBTITLES in your videos as I am from INDIA and not able to understand properly...
There are auto-generated subtitles available if I'm not mistaken...
Yes i checked it's available, thanks
j( j'arrive tardivement sur votre chaine) 'aime beaucoup votre projet et j'admire votre détermination mais je trouve cette vidéo trop bavarde même si elle est didactique et interressante,désolé, mais je continue à vous suivre et à vous trouver très sympathique
This makes everything sound over whelming.
You did not speak of security. Your wife and children are at risk, off-grid. Do you have guns to keep out two-legged and four-legged predators. We live in the real world, bro.
Much too wordy.
47 Deg... no way...
Moreno, you and your wife are so amazing! I greatly admire your journey, and I've been learning a great deal on how to use garden space in a smart and efficient way. I hope to take your gardening course one day soon! Thank you for sharing this great information. I love following your channel.
Hi Syl Thanks! Great to hear it's helpful. Good luck with everything!
