      Thanks for the great content! I'm busy planning my garden & have been leaning towards raised beds due to a back problem. But I may end up doing more in-ground beds to start with due to cost factors & the warmer season getting well on its way! Starting small and working towards a market garden!

    This is an excellent teaching video. We live in Northeast Oklahoma, USA, and are called "Green Country". We have subtropical summers with more than 70 days over 100*F this year. We also had a drought. This was an extreme summer, #10 in the top ten hottest and driest summers in our area. However, because I live in a valley, and on the edge of a creek that floods frequently, I have most of my gardens in raised beds. That meant this summer, you literally could not water enough to keep things alive. The sheer amount of transpiration from the hot and dry conditions cause most of the plants to stop growing, and definitely stopped fruiting. So, I'm going to develop some no dig, deep mulch garden beds as well. This will act as insurance against another summer like this one. I'm very inspired by your garden design. Good work. 👏

      In Portugal they put poles in the ground and attach linnen fabric over it to protect plants from the sun. Light goes still through and also rain can go through it. And while you work in the garden it protects you from sunburn.

    6 yrs now into no-dig raised garden beds, but you mentioning trees growing on the west side having a cooling effect: great! My neigbours on the west side chopped all their trees and bushes, add 4 hot spells during the summer and almost no rain. Had to double the amount of watering. Although the potatoe beds did not need so much, most likely because I covered them with a 4 inch (10 cm) thick layer of ornamental grasses, lets say hay.

    I love your videos. A lot of good information in them. I live in central Texas and the climate here is very similar to Portugal where you are. Very hot and dry summers and this year with particularly little to no rainfall. We had an issue with our plants burning up in the hot summer. 40+ C. I am curious to see how you will shade your garden as it is something I realized this year that it will be a must. Also I have implemented your style of garden beds as our soil is very compacted and with a lot of clay. Also missing a lot of vital nutrients as well.

    I have been planting things for 4 years now and for one reason or another my garden has done very badly. Its very disheartening. But I will keep trying and I will finally succeed (I’m stubborn) eventually? I’m hoping to learn from you and other UA-camrs. I’m low on funds & Im disabled & old so I have a-lot to overcome. All that said my garden has improved a bit yearly and my knowledge also has improved a bit thanks to good people like you who want to share your knowledge.

      The preparation of the soil is very important. Sometimes you have to feed it for one year before it will be fertile. Mix potassium, calcium, lava powder and dried cow menuire in the soil. And plant soilfertilizing little plants for one year. Add a thick layer of compost ground. You will absolutely see the difference.

    I see you're using stones in the garden. I know from experience that scorpions and centipedes like to hide in and under them. The olive groves didn't provide much protection so anywhere there was stones, cracks in concrete, etc you could find them. Mostly at night though, that makes it a bit less of an issue... I just wonder if you have thought about this? I look forward to the growing :)

The gophers seemed to have left for now but I didn't grow anything in my garden in 2020 to starve them out. I am going to plant a lot of alliums to try and get the gophers to go someplace else and I destroy their tunnels when I find them. Good luck.

    Please be sure to look up your local laws about homesteading. Certain sizes of your farmland might fall into agricultural and not private taxation. You can get in touble fast if you don't know your local laws. You might have to found a company too, if you want to sell your crops locally or have to provide a proof that you don't. Tax traps are the worst and suck the joy out of life faster than you can say "taxfraud". The state don't care that you "didn't know." A know a fellow who had to pay 100 000 in taxes to the state because they were "gifted" a patch of forest and they did not know that the forest came with annual taxes attatched.
