There is an old saying in Myanmar "Make your backyard a market" which means plant and grow for your self-sufficient and you don't need to cost for vegetables and fruits. I love your yard and this type of living is my dream lifestyle.Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.Cheers!
No such thing in a society built on consumerism, instant gratification, competition, and so on. But I do agree, I dream for a world worked upon such views. Sadly, we’re just taught to get up and go to work to make the world go round. I belive we can change it but it has to be a mass collective conscious movement , and yeah become self sufficient and live peacefully, not having to worry about clocking in or clocking out as that’s just the average. Sure some people escape it. But is that really allowed? Do we really have the free will to do that? Or is it all just an illusion?
@@caedansanti4422 I think people like you coulld educate people. Don't be so defeatist. You start from square one. I'm a caregiver and wish I could do more.

I love watching different gardening/farming channels. It gives me inspiration and motivation to go plant some kind of food. I am wanting to get pecan ttees and some other trees .
Interesting vid. I’m in my second year developing a food forest on 5000sqm of land at high elevation in Ecuador. I have a long way to go, but eventually I’ll be writing the book on high elevation permaculture in the tropics for places with no winter or summer… places that are spring like year round.
I live in the same area, Phoenix Metro, and have the same thing going in my 9,000sq ft suburban property. We squeezed about 30 fruit trees in a few years ago including mango, stone fruit, papaya, moringa, and citrus. It’s so fun, beautiful, and delicious. Our water bill is about $50 more per month than when we had zero trees or landscaping at all, just rock. All with HOA approval, amazingly enough. I can’t wait to see my property in 5, 10, and especially 20 years. It’s going to be epic.
Post videos on UA-cam, sounds like a great accomplishment. I'm working on a 3 acre site in NC but also am interested in dry climate because we have land in Tamaulipas Mexico.
"water bill is about $50 more per month" I can believe it, based on my own water bills. The water company charges a high surcharge, regardless of how much we use. Then, they charge us on how much we actually use, which is not much, about $20-$30 per month (without outdoor watering). Anyway, congratulation on your 30 fruit trees. I am getting there, even though our property is only 7,000+ sq ft. Also, I am adding a vegetable bed in the future as well.
I was told papaya, mangos and bananas will not live in Phx heat. Because they're tropical plants. I always wanted to grow bananas and mango in our backyard. Well I don't know how to care for them and I was told you have to know what you're doing or it will not grow since I don't know even with if I had to research I might be struggling quite a bite.
I wish I had my family on the same page. Living in the tropics, I can grow so much. But so new to this and just moved to an acre of land .Would love to have a place this
I started my garden/veggie patch in August 2021. There were no trees at all, I planted 7, 3 died and the I started a fig in a pot. I started lemon trees from seed from a thin skin lemon bought at a shop.. I found a white mulberry tree and took 2 cutting this year, rooting in water at the moment. In my front yard I dug a small swale to catch water and put it in the ground. This is now year 2.
His enthusiasm is infectious ... I have started planting fruit trees ie fig, an avocado as well as a Maringa tree on my verge that if and when they bear fruit anybody can pick and eat off of them. My next 2 trees are going to be a mango and banana tree🙂
As usual, stellar work guys. The content is top notch, but the cinematography behind it... From the color correction to the sound design. Beautiful light, nice B roll, ... Just amazing all around!
Where i come from,we eat the tomato top....also we eat the top of the pepers and also the top of the pumpkin...its nice ....thanks for all the advice on how and what to grow 🍀
I wish regional based permaculture and food forest cultivation was more common and accessible. You see all this work and research people have done and it's only ever going to reach a small audience.
I'm intending to grow a small food forest in the backyard of my new home. The front and back yards are only 200-300 square metres but I'm hoping to squish in apples, bananas, raspberries, macadamias, grapes, moringa, avocados and their lower storey guilds. I got hold of a couple of strawberry guavas thd other day, for shrub level planting. So excited to get started on it! Great video, thanks for sharing!
It's a good strategy for hot climates like Arizona, but I wouldn't necessarily do it in the northern US or here in Canada. In hot climates, the surface of the soil is often hotter than ideal for tomatoes, but deeper down it's cooler, so planting the tomatoes deep allows them to access that cool soil sooner. But in cool climates like mine, the soil deep down is often cooler than ideal, so it's better not to plant them too deep since the shallower soil is closer to the ideal temperature for tomatoes. Ideal soil temp for tomatoes is about 65-85F. Here near Toronto, it starts at about 60-65F at planting time, and goes up to about 80-85F in July, but deeper down might be 5-10F cooler (so maybe 55F at planting time, 75F mid-summer). Therefore, shallow is better. In Phoenix, soil temperatures can be like 110F in mid-summer... Way hot and therefore beneficial to plant into deeper cool soil. Even with mulch and shade like in this guy's yard, the soil will still be warmer than ideal for tomatoes so you still want to plant them deep.
Great video! Thank you for it! There are many different varieties of apples and some varieties are called "Earlies" and some are called "Lates" and then there are the varieties that grow in between. At least in California we can harvest different varieties of apples from July or August until November.
U are lucky and happier than most of the billionares in this world to live life like this close to soil indirectly helping other creatures in nature which is actually liked by God.
Beautiful backyard i love our backyard to look like yours. We're starting to plant peach tress and planing for more fruits trees as well. Hopefully in 5-6 years my dream will come true. Gardening is my passion!
Great video but would love to see a video of how to start. Mulch is the most expensive thing to buy. If you don't have trees but a lot of dry land what are some good tips to start living soil.
Thank you so much for this incredible information. In a few months, I will have my house in Florida with a huge backyard, and I will get in contact with you to start my dream tropical paradise to grow my own food and to enjoy nature . Unfortunately, I don't know anything about planting, but I will get your curses to have a better life.
When you said that you can see birds taking bath evry morning 😍 wow! I love watching birds too and I do often get to watch them because of rapid urbanization...btw The peaches you just threw can be used for pickles and jams... Anyway love your property.
The suburbs around here have quite a lot of birds because people have bird baths, bird feeders, and trees and bushes to eat from. Forests outside the city seem to have a bit less birds. So urbanization doesn't have to mean no birds, you just need to plant things that will produce fruits, seeds and attract insects for the birds to eat, plus some water to drink/bathe and places to nest.
Damn, I used to go to his house now and then😂 grown like crazy since then. But, where were y'all for my tropical food forest like 20 miles down the road??😂 Always wanted a youtube crew to come check it out lol
I actually don't like papaya but a GREAT recipe is to pick them green and cut them up (like you would potatoes) and cook them in chicken broth and chicken. Yum!
This is what environmentalists should be promoting in their communities. Be less reliant on commercial farming and grocery stores while reducing our carbon footprint for our communities and helping people become more cognizant of nature and where our food comes from.
Can you please show your pergolas and which wood did you use? Were they easy to build? They look simple and cute and maybe i could build them myself. Thanks.
Apples are not picked in July and August only. Apples have different windows of harvest depending on the variety, which ranges from late August to early January, and apples with proper storage and depending on the variety can last from a few weeks to a few months, like 3-6 months range, depending on the skin thickness and the firmness of the flesh. You can definitely tell where someone lives based on their apple knowledge. People go to apple orchards in the fall my dude. It's a yearly practice in the north....where they have apple orchards all over the place....and you pick the apples off the tree yourself. Most of the apples you get at the grocery store are apples that are able to keep well, that's why you don't always see soft skin varieties and most soft skin pears are only out in fall here in Michigan. In the fall you get many many different varieties to choose from because of the harvests, rather than the basic Granny Smith, Gala, Fuji and Pink Lady, all good storage apples. I don't see Red Delicious anymore lol they're disgusting tho so I can't complain lol yeh do more research on produce facts you're not familiar with because a lot of people will just take your word for it because you've grown such an amazing garden. A lot of people know a lot but you can't know everything about every plant. But don't make some random facts up and put it in a video dude.
I love how you can identify this guy's house by up above and far away by the amount of vegetation in it, wish more people were like it
Yea but in the USA people are taught to have nice grass and such which even worse for the environment
lmao i saw that and how it was perfectly squere that made my day
Naw. The homeowners association won’t allow it.

This is what they should be teaching kids. Let's not show them how to be self sufficient. Should be community grow areas in every neighborhood

Agreed, the government should fund positions at community gardens for this to occur

In Brazil, we have Ernest Gotsch, he does a similar work with syntropic forests (agrofloresta)
Please tell me when your finished with the book I would love too by it!!!
In the PH we have very low places that you think sea should have covered it but did not. So they cover it with fresh water and planted rice. 😁
Sounds great do you have video on UA-cam? That high altitude tropical climate is like heaven on earth in so many ways.

We have so many deer, squirrels etc. looking for food in our area. Guess I’ll be shopping for deer fencing when I start
i like how it's completely green, even in the middle of the winter!

The papaya leaf can also be eaten....
The fruit ...we rasp and prepare that with meat .....or we make like a sour cabage
