Bosco's Garden
Ireland
Registrace 1. 05. 2020
We are Shane and Kay Hatton. We have a passion for food, nature and growing things. In 2020 we began creating our permaculture food forest and no dig market garden in Kilkenny, Ireland. We have been filming the process from day one while also making videos of our visits to other permaculture and regenerative farming projects.
Growing in Bosco's Boots | Documentary (2024)
Here is a little documentary film we made chronicling the creation of our no dig permaculture homestead, market garden and food forest in Kilkenny, Ireland. Over 4 years, we transformed an empty field into a garden, including wildlife ponds for nurturing a balance of biodiversity; A garden ecosystem that we came to find integral to growing healthy plants and truly organic food. We set up a farm shop that surged in popularity over the years and we even began supplying local restaurants with our amazing vegetables grown in living soil.
This is our story. A tale of growth. A film and a dream, many years in the making. A dedication to my brother, Bosco, and our garden which we named in his memory. A testament to the utility and satisfaction of gardening/farming with nature. I hope you enjoy it.

Continuing this series of short permaculture documentaries; Here is a little film about something I've become ever more passionate about in recent years. Something that took me a long while to fully wrap my head around and still feel I have so much more to learn about. This one focuses on the soil food web in the context of no dig gardening. It features our own garden along with clips from Dr. ...
The Story of Permaculture | Documentary (2024)
zhlédnutí 46KPřed 2 měsíci
After compiling a little film about Bill Mollison, there was a large call to expand on it and the origins of permaculture, giving some other pioneers their dues. So, here I have focused on some of the people who influenced me heavily when I first became interested in permaculture. It includes clips from David Holmgren, Masanobu Fukuoka, Sepp Holzer, Robert Hart, Emilia Hazelip, Allan Savory, Va...
Bill Mollison: The Father of Permaculture | Documentary (2024)

This is a tribute to one of my all-time heroes. The course footage that I've featured here is from a PDC that Bill and Geoff did at Melbourne University in 2005. This was my first time looking back on it since his passing in 2016 and it has been a gripping experience, to say the least. There is so much gold in it that I struggled to cram just some of it into this short film. I'd highly recommen...

I've tried a few different worm farms over the years but the bathtub method is hands down my favourite for it's size and simplicity. Unlike other worm farms, I've never had any trouble with it overheating, drying out or getting too wet. It just seams to self regulate perfectly with no need for any intervention.

Toby Hemenway- 'GAIA'S GARDEN' - The best, most comprehensive book I've ever read on Permaculture
Why do natural ponds and lakes not drain or dry out? Genuine question that dies make sense to me lol
What a beautiful and amazing achievement your garden is! I am absolutely in awe! ❤
Thank you!
That was absolutely inspiring and it brought tears to my eyes more then once! Thank you for being the beautiful people that you are!!!!
❤
Thank you #SaveSoil #Consciousplanet
While I only know a small handful of names off the list, what an awesome list of people to be able to draw more inspiration from! Stefan Sobkowiak; The Permaculture Orchard, is another great one of learned information and knowledge.
Added!
Thank You for this beautiful resource you have created...... As you asked!!! My Permaculture hero is my eldest son Conor Kendrew. He did his PDC as a young man and its effect on him (and his ability to communicate) has meant that so many others have just had to follow!!!! People are naturally inquisitive about positive energy, as Permaculture designers and practitioners we are observed........ Keep designing and doing......... we have the tool kit to heal and be incredibly productive...... This film will help guide. Thank You again.
Thanks! Just added.
Congratulations...you are an inspiration....greetings from Australia
Thank you 😊
Such a beautiful video my heart feels so full ❤
Thanks!
I guess I got lucky, because I dug a 5 meter diameter pond, 10 years ago, and used a billboard tarp as a liner.I was told it would deteriorate, and would need to be replaced in 5 years. While digging, we started digging through sand, but about a foot under the sand, we hit clay. Pond has held water well all these years!
This was amazing! I laughed and cried. What a beautiful journey. I buy my acreage in AZ for a green the desert project this October! Thank you for inspiring my quest!
Thanks! All the best with your venture.
Thank you Shane & Shane's dear ones (Kay especially )! Great stuff with your "From humble beginnings to "Beyond Organic & Soil Regenerative Market Garden" in 3 years! And their success just keeps growing! Wonderful Permaculture success story! ✨💗✨🌈🌎🌍🌏🌈✨💗✨" (posted your video on FB with that quote) Love the videos! You've got glorious skills in all 3 areas (Farming, Filming, Public Speaking)! Keep up the glorious work! You (& your team) are and will continue to be an inspiration to so many!!! Woo-Hoo!!!
Much appreciated! 😊
Kilkenny, first time hearing the name, laughing on the floor. it reminded me of Kenny >D
Comes from its gaelic name, Chill Chainnigh. Which means the church Chainnigh. AKA Saint Canice. Many Irish place names begin with the word 'kil' because of this.
Love this! I'd also suggest the late, great Sarah Pugh (UK), Maddy & Tim Harland (Permaculture Magazine UK), Hannah Moloney (Good life permaculture AU) and Michael Judd (US).
Thanks! Added.
💚♻️🙏🏻
all of my heroes in one video - thank you so much - this is how we do agriculture properly!!
Definitely worth adding the master Ernst Gotsch and his contribution in Brazil and beyond

Beautiful film and I love your garden. I would love to come visit one day. Wishing you every sucess with your venture, however you may define that.
Thanks!
great movie! #PermacultureRevolution
Do you have any suggestions for other starting materials for those of us who don't have access to fresh dung?
I did one a few years ago with just regular compost, and it worked well. You might need to feed them with kitchen scraps more regularly, though.
Your gardens are INSPIRATIONAL! And I love your videos -- thank you for all you share! I'm curious what the CD discs are used to deter?
Thanks! They're to stop crows from pulling up young seedlings.
We know this is Bosco’s garden because it’s conclusion is freedom
❤️
Beautiful.
More like a densely planted orchard than a food forest
And what a great film it is. Well done. I just loved how you conveyed the importance of energy conservation and distribution.
Thanks Odhran!
So in blocks C and D you didn't use cardboard? Just the plastic tarp over winter and compost and wood chips in early spring? Did you broadfork them first.
@odhrancrowe3894 yeah, it was there from June until January. I used a little bit of cardboard where the plastic didn't stretch to. I didn't broadfork at all, but I did in the polytunnel since it had been extremely compacted after I let the donkeys into the spot where we placed it in the winter of 21/22, when it was wet and after it had been tilled. I didn’t broadfork anywhere else. I don't even own a proper one. I just used a regular garden fork in the manner of a broadfork; lifting the soil but not turning it.
Very interesting. I'm actually in a situation at the moment where I need to extend, expand, ASAP alot of garden beds. There is everything in this project from tarped out sections which I will approach as you have said. I had planned to broad fork these areas but I think now once compost has broken down ill just put it on and plant out autumn plants direct. Other areas are making me nauseous, last years tilled beds.... running down hill🤪 all kinda native plants in different succession of reclaiming the land. Such a mess. But seen the video of you opening up those new areas so fast has helped me regain focus. I'll just have to work with the trapped out areas and forget about the out of control shaped beds till the new-year. I'm going to have to for go cardboard on this project but will have the means to apply the full 15cm or even more. As for in tunnels I think because of the unnatural setting and interaction of the whole situation I think we just have to broadfork to get things established. I would love to experiment with not broadforking I think if one were to carry out a winter regime of watering on empty beds at a scale to match the rain I think by the following year the soil may have become decompact. But left to the desert style environment a polytunnel is I think a once off forking without turning is nessery for all tunnels.
@@odhrancrowe3894 I actually can't wait to visit ye again and see what you've been getting up to. 🤣
As I started watching this video, I am compelled to write down all the names in these lists for future reference. Sorry, but the video will have to wait.🥰 Thank you for this.
😂
I too liked the content but won't subscribe as I couldn't stand the loud music over all the good talking and information. Too hard for most people to extract what was being said from the distracting music. You do not need that music.
My inspiration in Brazil is Ernst Gotsch, pioneer of Syntropic Agriculture or Agroforestry, an incredible work of sustainable production.
Serenade the cows; they love music! Lovely story!❤️ I usually an anxious to get in the garden but serious health problems have me sidelined this year!☹️
A good excuse to chill out and enjoy the garden while you recover. Hope you're back on your feet soon.
Simply beautiful
Thank you!

fantastic video,made out of love,hope you keep youre calma,after over comming tradgity,superb giving of ones self and sharing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where’s a good place to buy these sheets? Homedepot gives me flooring and Amazon gives me arts and crafts
It sounds like you're not in Ireland, so I'm not sure, but keep looking, I guess.. Maybe try a pond supply specialist? All the best.
Well done! Jeff Lawton and Bill Mollison..What a team. I have learned a hell of a lot from them.
This video is so beautiful, Thanks 💚
Thanks!
What an amazing story and video. I am so happy for you and your family. I am starting something similar and all I can pray for is that I end up like you. Looks like I have found happiness. I still have a lot to go but I stop every day to look what I accomplished. As I end the day I go to see the sunset in the ocean to give thanks to God for another day that I got to live and fall asleep to hopefully wake up and or it all over again. God bless you !
I believe it is also affected by what kind of pollinater got to it whether it have been a 🐝 ,or a dragon fly,butterfly,ants,moths,birds,etc. also temperature and wind. Even a few inches difference can result in different amounts of sunlight and rain
A well thought out and enjoyabl video! Loved it!
Thanks!
Great documentary. Music track is really annoying and unnecessary.
Loved your movie.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful evergrowing journey with us 🌱😊
Thanks Lillian!

There’s a huge number of permaculture people who use cardboard.A primary rule of permaculture is bring nothing in and take nothing out. Thereby not introducing toxins or taking out biomass
