      The music is just free stuff available to us through UA-cam, often you can find it on here too and sometimes (i'm not sure why only sometimes) UA-cam will automatically put the title, info and a link to the music tracks in the description of our videos, so always worth checking there to find it 👍 Great to know you enjoy it 💚

    Spring salutations. Wow its all amazing. You've given me some great ideas too. I take scull cap and never thought about planting some in my garden pharmacy so I will be trying that. It's just really lovely seeing what you've planted and how it's all growing. You are both brilliant educators and impart knowledge naturally and are inspiring. I too am trying wine caps as well as oyster mushrooms soon... So excited. I've also used wild asparagus which is coming up vigorously through the woodchip and strawberries. I love seeing all the different guild plants and learning why you chose them and how you will use them.

    JOSTAberries comes from German.
    JO = Johannisbeeren (currants (black)).
    STA = Stachelbeere (gooseberries)

    Aronia is not good for eating raw and alone.
    But its quite good when heated (in jam or whaterver). Also perhaps mixed with blackberries and or elderberries.
    And raw it is fine in a shake with something making it sweet. Thats how I mostly eat it. Because heating kills so much of the good stuff.

    Have been watching your channel for a long time now and really enjoy it. You give lots of good ideas and what you talk about is very informative. BUT the music annoys me, if is too clicky. some nice relaxing music would be nice. Just a thought.

      Hi Jeanette, I am glad you enjoy our videos - thank you 🙏
      We do enjoy editing using music as well, however the free music available to use is quite limited. I will try and bare your comment in mind though when editing. On the video I was just editing/released, I turned all the music down a little more than usual, so maybe this will make it less intrusive for those it does not suit 💚 Appreciate you being with us and all of your comments ✌️🌿

      Hi Alana, Glad you enjoyed the tour. Thats really interesting to hear that you are growing similar plants to us. We do have an gravity fed hose that reaches half way down the food forest, but mostly we just water things in when planting out and leave the rest to nature ... If its really dry we water where needs it most and mostly with can's. We re-mulched a lot of the shrubs and younger trees with Woodchip too as that really helps 💚✌️🌿

    Hey guys, lovely plot. What's the spacing like on the fruit trees? Are they 'demi-tige' as in 'half stem height' or...? I have mostly half and low stem trees on a 6x6m spacing, looking to add more of the lower strata the next years.

    • @freedomforestlife
      @freedomforestlife  Рік тому +1

      Hi Vincent - Most of the trees are spaced at 4m apart and they are mostly all on Vigorous Root stock (M25), The Berries and currents of the lower layer provide such value, Blackcurrent & Rapsberries were our first proper harvests from our Food Forest, which like you, were all added shortly after the main trees 💚 Enjoy creating your space 🙌 We've made quite a few videos in our Food Forest over the last couple of years, I'll pop the playlist link in for if you'd like to see more ✌️🌿 ua-cam.com/play/PLOidPRQofoMO0DE7TSR7WXi14EsPi8Fd_.html

    try honeyberry, care full with raspberry, they need a barrior to prevent spread. you need a big ass net to cover it all. [Edit] honeyberry are like apple trees they need a different type of honey berry to cross polinate.

    • @freedomforestlife
      @freedomforestlife  Рік тому

      Hi, Thanks for the suggestions, we've had both of these in the our food forest before, the Paw Paw just didn't grow properly here, maybe not quite warm enough and we found with the Sasktatoon, they just never cropped before the wildlife got them, so we moved them out ,.... maybe we'll try again with those when we have a better canopy ... How do they taste? 💚✌️🌿

      @freedomforestlife  7 місяців тому +1

      Hi, Yes, we do actually have slightly acidic soil in this area where we are in the south, but other areas not that far away are Alkaline. The woodchips probably help too - They can tend to be more on the acidic side over time. Thanks for watching ✌️🌿
