CHOP AND DROP - Feeding a food forest

- Feeding the soil by chopping and dropping in The Weedy Garden.
Two years after planting my first seeds, The Weedy Garden is producing an abundance of food (and mulch).
After weeks of constant rain, the Weedy Garden is more like a Weedy Jungle.
In this video, I chop and drop some of the growth around the swales, and relocate a carpet snake living in the undergrowth.
Enjoy your jungles

A Weedy Garden T Shirt is a symbol. It is NOT a discount item or a meaningless bit of Merch!
The T’s are for those people who appreciate my FREE content, and who understand that to continue making FREE content, Weedy as everyone on the planet, needs an income from somewhere. Supporting local organic growers who grew them, the artist who designed them, the printer and TWG. I CAN get them designed, produced and printed in China, but the footprint is not worth it.
You can also support TWG on Patreon, copy the design and print your own, but at the end of the day, the T’s are a symbol of your support, where you get something back…gratitude 💚🙏🏻👍🐸🎥
Mr. Weedy, love your choice of music. I always play Bach on piano while watching my vegetables grow outside through my window beside the piano.
First!! 🤣🤣 Just want to say THANKYOU to everyone who has donated to help the people in Lismore. Such a great community Weedy people :-)
BTW, a few days since I edited this video, and the tik tok vid has now over 2.5 million views. Crazy.
So follow therealweedygarden on tiktok and see what else I upload from the hip.
Don´t forget to join my newsleter on theweedygarden.com for inbetween news ect.
Love and photon particles -

beautiful snake! thanks for saving her!
Mate, I'm so glad you're here, on this Earth, at this present moment. Thank you for coming, and sharing, and being you
Tropical climates are so crazy. If you encourage growth, you will get a lot of it. Good on you. Well done.
I reckon!!
As soon as you said " like a carpet, or big carpet " and the word came up on screen, it was a sure thing, there had to be a carpet snake in that lot.
It’s always incredible to see how much things can grow in a tropical climate when the machinery of nature is encouraged. Your fearless (or respectful) attitude towards the wildlife is quite refreshing. I don’t think I could be quite as courageous
Lol. When u r an Aussie in the bush, you kinda have to be.
I think you could. 😉👍🏻
Hey Siloa! Nice to see you here.... oh noooooooo I just read your comment RIGHT BEFORE he picked up a snake... no no no nono no lol I wouldn't do that. I'm shocked that the snake was just trying to get away and was all calm... I've only seen rattlesnakes and copperheads up close like that mostly when I was a kid and I still remember them to this day.... the coiled up defensively
Weedy is in refreshing in that manner, he makes me feel like I could imagine how it would be to not be afraid of snakes etc.

@@TheWeedyGarden I want more videos😄
Haha cow 'pee'. Loved that green question!
watching your videos is my happy place
Amount of organic material is astonishing.
subtropics wet sesson 🌧🌦🌧🌦🌧🌦
First day watching your channel. Came for the garden content, stayed on account of the spectacular filmmaking. You sir, are no amateur. There's a professionalism that is clear.
Watch al the way through, comment, Subscribe. Long live the algorithm.
this guy is something special
Thank you and much love to all 🙏💜🙏
I wish you hadn’t questioned Geoff and just spent weeks trying to collect cow pee 😂. Would be hilarious footage.
As usual, this was a wonderful video nevertheless
How is it that this feels somewhat meditative while watching? Best 30min yet Weedy! Thanks for another 30min of laughs and smiles and blessing us by inviting us into your space !!
😂jj00😮
2 years and 120,000 subscribers.......WOW and WELL DONE SIR! I'm glad I was here almost from the very start and look forward to EVERY VIDEO, THANKS!!!!
This is by far the BEST video I have seen in 2 years of studying permaculture. Thank you for taking the time to craft such a video that pulls you right into the food forest. The magical earth is the best part. If people only knew how much magic is in the earth! Blessings from tropical Puerto Rico! My family and I are starting a food forest and you are so very inspiring to us. Thank you for this channel. 🙏🦋♥️🌎
I really took something away from this video about the power of mindfulness! My many young children will be watching this today.
I would want to have my own Garden someday, You are such an inspiration.
Respect and Love to you ,All the way from INDIA.
Namaste Suraj 🙏🏻 and thankyou 🕉
Yeah!!! gardening barefooted like you said more connected with the earth feeling the soil, the plants, all the energies! Just the best! Having fun doing the work, getting all dirty then cleaning up at the end of the day sitting back at the end of the day appreciated the efforts.
Ohhh noooo dont throw away the ginger leaves
You can cook it or dry the leaves for a ginger leaves tea
You work so hard for your permaculture garden but now it’s WONDERFULLY
I really ENJOY all of your videos
thank you 🥰
Still sad we can't grow bananas in Germany, and have too little use for a machete, either, but luckily all I ever have to carry into the forest is a bucket full of slugs. Will consider using a bag next time, tyeing it up at the top and scare the neighbours.
Sally was such a beautiful specimen and a testament to your Weedy Garden. Bless you for being kind and loving, and bringing light.
Snakes are one of the greatest signs for the soil being very healthy.
My heart soars when I see you've put out another magical Magnificent vid. Thank you so much for the love and smiles..
Carpet Python (Sally), non venomous and nice to see you relocate.
Every huntsman I come across I name Harry
😂 I call them Fred! 🕷
They are called Esmeralda in our house! 😂
You get a thumbs up for having Bach in the intro.
Dear Weedy,
It's nice to see how you lovingly design your garden. The landlord is constantly interfering with me. The material is often removed during what is known as chop and drop! Unfortunately, using teddy bears to scare the landlord away won't work!
get a real bear 😝 or educate them in a gentle positive way 💜🕉
Good morning folks.
🖐🏼
best t-shirt ad ever
Weedy is for me the youtuber with the most beautiful soul and its awesome how he is able to translate that through his videos
I loved the echo when u bent in to the tree
Watching you from Nepal🇳🇵.& Learning something from your every vedio.Sending you Love ♥️ and respect (Namaste 🙏). 🥰🥰
I live in a small town in central NY state. My house is 165 years old and over the last ten I have converted the entire front yard (about 1000 square feet) into food - veg, herbs, and plants to feed my rabbits. I am going to attempt something like your challenge this summer. Starting in May and going as long as possible, I aim to eat 80% from my property with the remaining from oils and other ingredients I can’t produce. Love a challenge!
The instant the music started "like". My fav.
"how do i catch cow pee?? "😂😂😂
Nice one. Happy Sally.Paradise.
What you have achieved in two years is outstanding
always hear bad things about pre-bed screen time, but I gotta make the argument that ending the day with a good piece of media on youtube is no different than a good book, thanks for thoughtful videos
Most phones have settings to dim the blue light now, make sure to check if yours does.
Yes I listen to weedy when I feel stressed too and the good vibes put me in a great mood.
🤣 cow pea, not cow pee. Hilarious, I thought the same thing "how do you catch the cow pee?"
Whenever I need some calm in my life, I go to the Weedy Garden.
You ever make Ginger Beer? I bet yours would be incredible. Ginger, Honey, Water. Ginger has this little yeast commonly referred to as "ginger bug". It works like any fermentation, the ginger bug eats the sugar, produces alcohol and CO2 as a by product. The alcohol is comparable to Kombucha, so not a whole lot if you aren't trying to produce it as your main objective. If you haven't done it before, I would recommend it. I love a nice spicy ginger beer. It can get quite dry so adding some honey back to the final product helps.
yum yes 👍
The garden looks wonderful and full of life . Cow Pee is cow pea 🤣🤣🤣
2 years goes by so fast.
Totally love your t shirt. 🌻
5:27 😂 best part for sure, thanks fir all the great informative high quality videos and a good laugh every now and then...I would have thought the same thing 😁🤙🏾
🐄😝
Glad that you asked the follow up question on the cow pee 😂
🤣
The moment you said "mayt"/mate..i knew you're from Australia 😊😊😊😊😊
You really are living a dream life
Thank you for all the beauty. I´m watching your videos from the central Europe, a relatively cold and dry place, and it nearly makes me cry.
Mmm…Bach!!!!!! 🎶😃
It's greeny garden.....
What a magical place you got there! a magical place for a magical person
Your advert is pretty cool and seems very organic 👌
Beautiful lush garden.
I love it.
👏💪👏💪👏
i am 74 and very rarely wear shoes, never inside and rarely anywhere else but we don't have snakes in nz
or ANYthing at all that is bitey or spikey right?
Thank You, It was amazing especially the snake part 😉😆
Your place is so beautiful and amazing I can't believe it I wish I lived there
Good to have you back! :D
Wow! Is looking really lush.I love your modeling of your shirts. Great video. 😊
I like the vocal cave reverb edit at 17:08 :) Also, I thought cow pea was cow pee when I first heard it too
To prevent the banana saplings from resprouting cut them near the soil and with a cheap wood auger just drill the center like 15cm or so, most of them won't sprout again.
Finally. Thankyou. Someone else suggested hammerung a sharp stick in the middle of the shoot also.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BRUTHERR
hello there Mr. Weedy Garden. Your channel is always refreshing. Not just the images but the story of life that comes along. I thought to share that to keep the bananas down without repeatedly cutting the growth, cut a sizeable tree brunch, sharpen the edge and drill it down the plant. That is the African (in Uganda) way of managing them.
I try this. thanx
You are more than an epic permaculturist! You are a Uber driver for Snakes!!!! ( so glad I live in Aotearoa, where nothing other than humans will mess with you in nature 😅) Thanks Dude! Scrolling back through your archives on UA-cam, are just as brilliant as your latest content in 24🤩
What EPIC Human you are 💚👊👊👊
Thanks 👍
Happy to see you again.
I L❤️VE your artistic approach. You are a rare and unique Blogger.
That’s because I live in a rare and unique place 💚🙏🏻🎥🌱💪🏻
YEEEEEEEYYY!!! NEW WEEDY VIDEO
I live in a big city cement jungle. Dreaming of a green jungle some day!
weedy i love your work, you inspire and give me joy every day. When I watch your videos I feel happy I would come to your farm and visit if that would be at all possible if not I suggest a tour experience for people like me that want to be in nature and talking about growing and living in nature
you inspired me to live
you saved my life, THANK YOU
10:15 I thought you were expecting a snake, then a few minutes later you nearly stood on one! 🤭
yep. I said snake twice before, and carpet just before. I’m screwing with your mind on purpose lol 😌
Chop and drop mate...keep it like a remote island or next year fight introduced weeds and bacteria. Never know what old mates got in that bale mulch or chips. But with a bit of work run away weeds means a heap of compost. Or chuck the weeds in with the bananas less work and best tasting bananas.
@wes0me video Dave, had me smiling the whole way through, in'la'kech you beautiful human
Hey dude! have you seen gardner’s world on BBC in the u.k. ? they always show other peoples gardens who film it, your production value would definitely get shown! Would be great for your youtube presence and subscribers if they were to show your clip! Over 2 million people watch it every friday !
They didn’t get back to me 🤔😁
My mango, in a 30 gallon pot, survived 20°f temps. It lost all leaves and branches and is shooting out from the trunk. I'm so proud of her.
Kudos for your choice of soundtrack. Bach Cello Concerto No.1 stirs the soul as does my garden and yours mon ami. I recently heard a very young gardener on Gardening Australia say that gardening at the end of his school day (COVID interruptions not withstanding) resets him. Your videos are the escape we make as gardeners in our mind's eyes that are writ large in your beautiful photography and video. Bach, Blues and Gardening is the Healer all over the world. Cheers my friend!
Lovely to see your attitude toward the other beings in the weedy patch. And I heartily agree with your reasoning with being barefoot and being able to feel what is underfoot. Too many folk think that snakes lurk in readiness just to attack us or something! Couldn't be further from the truth.
So much growth. But what a stellar job you're doing up there.
Such a beautiful space 💚
T-shirt super 😎 Cool Beautiful job✌👍🙏🌻
i have been binge watching your videos :) ...its 11 pm lol ...all lights off ..speakers on and watching this is pure bliss ...the tour had me in your weedy garden virtually :) keep up the good work
I am 29 and I would absolutely love to own a tiny piece of land outside of the city, to eat my own vegetables, to have a couple of chickens and my own bees but with the current skyrocketing prices it's a distant dream. Even small plots often cost like 500k Euro and it's only getting worse.
Try not to let negative expectations get in the way of your Dream.
Believing is Seeing. 🐝
Same dream here. But dude we will find our piece of land! I can't imagine a different life so it will be a consequence 😄
Wish you all the best! 👏🏼
Greetings from Frankfurt, Germany 🤮
Whoo I love your energy ❤️❤️ best of success for you 🙏
Just purrrfekt! Thank you!
Great video mate. To durably remove your banana suckers you need a spade and to remove the white hard rhizome below the sucker that connects it to its mother. The banana will of course grow more suckers but at a much slower pace than the regrowth of the suckers when you just chop them off. That white banana corm will be great food for Wormville 👍🏻
I would recommend a more breathable bag for transporting animals like snakes. I like to keep a couple of old pillowcases around for that purpose.
That is a good idea 🙏🏻
7:40 Wow Weedy, twice today I was thinking about C. Dundee and the knife thing. I haven't given any thought about that for many years, so this synchronicity is pretty satisfying. Thanx Weedy.
got to love weedys passion for nature...he told that bee to watch out like it was a little person, or a child..🙂
You bring me so much peace within. My life dream is to get a plot like yours and start a garden of my own!
Haha I live in the area and it makes me laugh knowing how different our reality in NENSW is and how many people would be freaked out with your snake handeling. and having a snake in a bag on the passenger seat... I'm with you on that one though - faraway road is a good spot for her while you are gardening. She will probably come back or she may move on.
She’ll need to cross the river
you're welcome, can't wait to see how it's used, from the Central Coast NSW
the ellen white method creates lovely big deadly pots when it rains
it sure does
Love you weedy! :)
Looking Good. 🌴
Awesome echo edit sound effect at @16:55
Thank you for the upload 👌
Cow pea aka black eyed pea :)
oh my gosh you're a true jungle boy with how you handled that snake! eeee I'm so afraid of them.
It was a little one and they are not venomous
🤣 great video mate… yes to the T shirt
Really enjoy this longer video. I can't believe how fast stuff grows in the subtropics! A jungle in 2 years!
