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 💚
Really appreciate you taking the time to make thos vid and tour around d your food forest. How exciting and inspiring your space is. Please do a summer and autumn follow up 😊
We will defo do more tours throughout the year - so nice to know you are all enjoying them too 🙏 We do have older tour vids on our channel too, if you'd like to see what it looked like when it was younger 💚✌️🌿
Thanks 🙏 Glad you enjoyed 💚 Theres a few more here, if you fancy seeing it over the years and in different seasons ua-cam.com/play/PLOidPRQofoMO0DE7TSR7WXi14EsPi8Fd_.html Thanks for watching ✌️🌿
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.
Hey Karen, so glad our Food Forest has given you new ideas and thank you for your lovely message 🙏 gardens are such great ever evolving spaces 💚 Wild Asparagus, I'm LOVING the sound of this ... you are giving me ideas now too 🙌✌️🌿
Very interesting, thank you. Lots of ideas for my mini food forest. It would be really helpful if you would include pruning tutorials when you do the fruit trees. Many thanks. Peace and plants. ✌️🌿
I'm so excited to find this channel! Very inspiring to see this as I want to achieve something similar in my (way smaller lol) space. Can't wait to see how it changes over the season.
Hi Ese, glad you found us 💚 We'll defo be doing more tours throughout the year ... we have some older ones on our channel already, if you would like to see it when it was younger too - Good luck with your space too ✌️🌿
Hi, thats really cool to know, thank you 🙏 we didn’t get to harvest any this year as the birds beat us to it - hopefully next year - hope you enjoyed the tour, we have made more throughout the year on our channel too 💚✌️🌿
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.
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
@@freedomforestlife thanks a lot! 4x4m nice and compact I didn't dare to go so close. But will add large shrubs ( caragana) f.e. and smaller trees (japanese quince, strawberry tree) in between.
Very nice 🙂 The extent of my gardening vocabulary in English is still limited, please what exactly is that « just a berry » or « Justin berry » according to the automatic subtitling?
Hi, your written English is great - where are you from? It’s called Jostaberry. It’s a cross between a blackcurrant and a gooseberry - thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed our video 💚✌️🌿
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.
I really enjoyed this tour video 😊 Is the food forest in a separate area from where your poly tunnels are, or is everything within the 20 by 30 meter space?
Hi ya, glad you enjoyed the tour 🙏 Yes, the food forest is a seperate area of 20x30 (approx). We are on 3 acres here overall, probably growing food on approx 1 acre in total 💚✌️🌿
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? 💚✌️🌿
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 ✌️🌿
What a lovely chilled video, thank you!
🙌Everything is looking lush you’re going to have a tonne of fruit!!
Thank you - Glad you enjoyed it 💚🙏
Learned a lot again and will overthink some things in our foodforest... 😊 Peace and plants! 💚
Oh, and where do you get your audios from? I always enjoy the music as well alot!

I love your foodforest tours and recognise many things that grow in my garden too 🌱And I'm looking forward to seeing your mushroom bed 🍄👨🌾💚
Really glad you enjoyed the tour 🙏 I think our Artemisia Annua seed is JUST starting to germinate too 💚

Hey Lynne, glad the tour has given you ideas 🙏 Will try to remember to do a pruning vid again next year for sure 💚✌️🌿
Your food forest is really coming along! Mine is a couple of years behind yours. Apparently aronia berries make a lovely jam. 💚
Thanks Su, will have to remember that for Aronia... if the birds leave us some 👍✌️🌿

JOSTAberries comes from German.
JO = Johannisbeeren (currants (black)).
STA = Stachelbeere (gooseberries)
Hi, thats really cool to know, thank you 🙏 we didn’t get to harvest any this year as the birds beat us to it - hopefully next year - hope you enjoyed the tour, we have made more throughout the year on our channel too 💚✌️🌿
Yes for sure.
I have a forest garden in Denmark and its always nice to see from a similar climate.@@freedomforestlife

Do you have acid soil? I live ibn the South and can not get Blueberries to grow.
