This tale of resilience and creativity that unfolded during the unprecedented lockdown of March 2020. Award-winning Master Photographer David Trood found himself confined to his home, just like countless others. But what he accomplished in those challenging times will leave you inspired.
Transporting you to a remote piece of land far away from civilization, David embarked on a childhood dream that had lingered within his heart: a garden teeming with abundant sustenance, a place where he could feast on nature's bounty.
Enjoy

All school kids should be shown this as part of their education
mate, your skills when it comes to editing and filming are incredible.
I appreciate that! Thanks mate
I am 7 minutes into this and already I am convinced this is a masterpiece. Should be required viewing for every person on this planet. Thank you for your effort to educate. Awe inspiring, truly.
The way you respected the dead kangaroo made me crying. The circle of life is horrible and beatiful at the same time.
Damn dude, your content keeps getting better and better. I love the calmness and gratitude this content evokes. Your focus on the interconnectedness of life is a welcome reminder of what we really are. Your gentle yet pragmatic narrative really brings to life the intrinsic beauty of the subjects captured in these images. Love your work.
Top comment 😊 Thanks so much
Fantastic biography. I am so happy for your wife. She has a loving and appreciative husband who is also a talented story teller, scientist, photographer, videographer, and creative nature lover. I believe that she is your ideal supportive, equal partner who is just as loving and appreciative as you are.🎉❤🤗
You hit THAT nail RIGHT on the head! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💜
💜🧡💛💚💙 🙏 Many thanks Dear 🙏 My Darling David and I, definitely bring out the BEST in each other 😉💙💚💛🧡💜
@@heartheathI am in awe of your husband’s humility and knowledge of planet earth 🌍
You both are blessed to have each other.🙏🏽❤️
Impressive and inspiring David. I keep following your videos and working in my "Forest" in the other side of the Planet Earth. Far far away, but the same passion! =)
Wonderful!
I watched this start to finish and I have honestly teared up at the end.
I think the realisation of the journey you've taken, the trials, tribulations and the tantalising success you achieved in this short (master) piece impressed me no end, but seeing you with your friends, sharing the spoils of your hard work and the love and community they have around you just touched me so deeply.
Thank you, David, you are amazing human
Beautiful comment to wake up to 💜😃🙏🏻
Thank you. Peace and calm in the world of turmoil. We all need to strive to find the inner peace like you and the world would be a much better place. Heart felt and much needed. Thank you isn't really enough. Wish you much peace.
Thank you is brilliant, but your fitty bucks are a godsend 💜💜💜
Thank you for realizing the classroom version idea and sharing it for free! Such a beautiful masterpiece. Eye candy & soul food ❤.
Brilliant, we watch it over again, Thanks. And I love the special effects guy, who was nobody. that was funny, and the chicken coop. Henry & Elsa London.
The cinamatic quality and the love of Mother Earth is unrivaled, love you brother.❤
The way I believe we were intended to live. You seem to be a natural chef too! Time to introduce cows! …..milk, butter,cheese..etc. Yummm! 👍 So blessed. The cycle of life was made in perfect balance and with purpose by our Creator. Thank you for sharing!
A Great movie Weedy.
Should be nominated for a dozen academy awards. and logies
😂😂😇😇😜😜🤪🤪
lol. Thanx Bernie. 🎥💜
totally wonderful so inspiring i am starting my weedy journey.
gotta give thanks to that nice piece of land, in a beautiful place with a great and hospitable climate.
This is breathtakingly beautiful- everything we’ve come to love about The Weedy Gardener. ❤
Incredible, really! You don't skip a beat! I am completely captivated by your channel's content. It's beautifully filmed, edited, lighthearted, and very guiding. Right away, we'll be planting mango seeds using your method. Your food production is seriously impressive!
Thank you so much 😀 just make sure it is at least a bowen or something else polyembryonic!!!
@@TheWeedyGarden Thank you for pointing us to the right seed! We have 3 thriving Mango Mamas now. It turns out, mangoes are able to handle our inhospitable conditions. Since shade is our most valuable crop, using your method, instead of buying trees, we will start producing seedlings to plant and expand our shaded area. This perspective is very exciting.
The cinematography is astonishing.
That David bloke needs a raise, he did all the work 🤪
You CAN do that yourself fella. 🫵🏻 Just press the cute little “thanks” button and raise me a few bucks yourself 💪🏻👍🐨😁
Your videos show how wonderful God's creation is, and we are not an accident but a miraculous creation of our Creator. Our Lord our Savior.
Thanks!
Thanks so much Karen 💜🙏🏻🦍
Never thought I'd love watching a big bearded man grow produce so much. Loving your content mate, can't wait to see what's next :)
Much appreciated
You met Geoff Lawton by DIVINE INTERVENTION - taking the wrong turn trying to find your way around the Northern Rivers when you ended up in the driveway of his permaculture institute/ school… best “meant to be” story ever
Love it
It’s not much but hope it helps, keep the great videos coming
You are awesome Kevin 🙏🏻💪🏻😃
Wow!! My favorite Chanel by far!! This guy is living my dream!!! Enough of the "how do I do this!??"
More "yeah I'm doing this!!! "
Thank you. You are an inspiration. It’s so different where you live. Hope you have a good growing year. From southern Ontario Canada
Fabulous xxx I’m a city dweller with a coastal allotment uk, gained at the start of lock down, just in time! + I have had the privilege of spending time in your area many many moons ago.
I really appreciate as an artist this reminder to ‘ live ‘ art, we create life, we are life, we are love, we are nature.
I shared the link to your CZcams as I know in this lifetime I could not express how I feel as well as you have in this film, thank you. X
I’m sorry I have no funds money wise to share, though I share with my friends your channel. Plus I give gratitude, experience and support from myself, and in turn, all my billions of critters including glow in the dark centipedes on my allotment :-)
Such an inspiringly beautifully made novie and story. You have such a beautiful soul and incredible talent not only in your photography, but your story telling and newly learned food gardening skills.
I was riveted to the screen.
🙏
@TheWeedyGarden You and I are kindred spirits. I love this video! ❤
Wow, just wow! Quite emotional and inspired.
5 months ago my own self sufficient journey began and I’m a better human being for it.
When I want to drift away from the current world events I come to Weedy Garden and immerse myself in the reality I want in the world. Thank you Mr Trood.
I do that daily 😀🎥
Awesome video David‼️👏👏👏👏👍🐝‼️‼️‼️💖
if you have access to arborist chips, i highly recommend it. i get mine from tree service people who have to pay to dump their wood chips so they are very happy to give it away. i have huge mountains of it composting for 3 years after which they are used in the orchard. i had very poor coarse sandy soil with little life in it. took me the first 10 years to change that and now i have the best soil. it took a long time but now i do not have to deal with soil or weeds or watering. it was worth it. also, chickens love wood chips as they provide a great source of bugs for them to hunt and they move the chips for you and poop everywhere, speeding the decomposition. i grow a lot of beans. i have been storing huge barrels of the stuff. i eat over 90% of what i eat for over 10yrs and live on less than $10k/yr. i got lucky and was able to get the property in the 80's for $42k! always planned to die here and it took years to get everything going on the cheap. i love the peace and tranquility of nature. your videos capture how i feel here even though we are on the opposite sides of the planet. live well 🙂🙏
Love it ..LMBO 😅😂 DOWN THE CARROT HOLE. Thankyou Father God for our beautiful earth. All glory be to You for everything and going back to the old ways the way we were supposed to live before the curse placed upon us in the garden of Eden! Time is short ..Jesus Christ is coming back soon.
🫵🏻
Absolutely amazing in every way… a master with a camera and self sufficiency and a
Wonderful example of a
Master gardener… you should be proud
I love all the story times The Weedy Garden caretaker brings us. As an adult it brings back memories of favorite picture books as a child, thumbing through in a corner of a family owned bookstore and my Mom bringing some home with us. Then looking through them in a fort all cozy while Mom in the kitchen made something comforting and delicious.
Wonderful 😃
Best video yet. I thank Jehovah God everyday for my life, this beautiful planet and my happy life.
Awesome.. inspiring 👏🏼
Une très belle réussite 1000 bravo.
That was a nice feel good. I'm a new gardener (my 1st year) and the joy is definitely a life changer.
Wish I had a bit of land and enjoy the nature like you. ❤ From India
Well done David.
G"day Weedy, as always LOVE YOUR WORK!You really are "composing" an inspirational legacy of sustainable self-sufficiency that will transcend well beyond today! 💪🍀💚
I really do appreciate that Keith 🙏🏻🫵🏻
Thank you David. You are a marvel.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes just love this production....you are a very talented man
What a fantastic experiment! I loved seeing your journey and such a pleasure to watch with you cinematic film 🎥 ❤😊 thank you for your inspiration
Thank u! Can’t wait to watch this with my daughter this weekend!
Really beautiful thank you! Was a pleasure to watch your journey
You are a beautiful human. Thank you
Found your channel about 2 hours ago having just bought a composter and wanting more info on how to be successful in that.... have since watched about many other things and learnt so much from you but this... this is absolutely inspirational and beautiful. new sub and fan right here and i foresee many many more hours enjoying your incredible content. Thank you Weedy so much.
Absolute Inspiration!! Love it all! Can't wait to see the sequel! 🤣
You are so amazing and inspiring “child of Mother Earth” brother 🙏🏼💐
Your dream is also my dream. I am manifesting this dream as my reality. I know it will take some time and I need to learn many things and grow before I can enter my dream reality. But i know the universe and Devine timing is on my side. Your channel is a blessing as is your existence, thank you 🫶🙏
Take it! 💪🏻🫵🏻
Hello Weedy! Beautiful produce. Love your videos! I would love a DVD with your nighttime noises including the cracking fire and creatures of the night. Maybe a thunderstorm that sort of thing!
That`s an interesting idea.
His voice reading a book would be so good too. 😍🤌🤍🤍🤍

So beautiful, thank you weedy for teaching us how to respect and look after Mother Earth. She gives us such abundance that we all take for granted. 🥕 🍆🍑🌱🍓🥔🍇🐝🐝
You are so welcome
Hello my earthling brother!!! 😁😁😁. Thank you for the 42 min. Beautiful and amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
The web of life is so amazing and beautiful. Thank you, professor weedy.
I’m such a fan brother. Amazing stuff as always. Keep it coming!
Beautiful! I see ya, from one food foresting nature junky to another. Aho brother
Thank you for your effort in showing us that all things are possible!
It’s a wonderful life in the dirt and I enjoy your perspective 🙂 thank you for sharing it.
I'm loving your videos, thank you. Mushroom growing.. Yes!! I've tried, with little result, because I simply didn't have the right space for the beautiful Fungi to grow.. I am very excited by the Mushroom Home you have built.. I reckon that would give them a good chance, even here :)
Covid has certainly changed the way people view gardening, thank goodness. It certainly shifted my focus from my rainforest planting (my baby rainforest is virtually self-evolving now anyway) to growing Medic Garden herbs, to have 'medicine' on hand, and I'm reaping the benefits of that impetus. I've become my own little home apothecary, which fills me with joy. We'd started making space for new raised garden wicking beds just before the drought of 2019 which to the huge fires late that year and too far into 2020.. I was very grateful that we'd chosen wicking beds, as this area can be on drought and fire warning one day and flood watch a week later. Of the 13 beds we built we only set two up ready to use, as water was getting way too scarce.. Usually we'd just have to let gardening sit, but we turned the wicking beds on (filled the water reservoir 🤣) , and presto we had food growing in the most blisteringly hot, dry drought condition days in beds that only asked for water after 8 days, rather than every day or two. Life changing! We can go away and the garden will keep it's own soil moist just as long as it's well filled before we leave, and there's almost no evaporation.. Thank you for your videos.. I keep seeing things that I wishes I'd learnt 20 years ago.. 🙏
just watched with mi kids 5 and 6 years old, they loved it!!
A truly awe inspired man , a good thing that came out of COVID to inspire your future, you reveal in your talented photography the nature giver creator, the intelligent life giver designer of all living things , all powerful infinite timeless invisible and personal maker of our Finley tuned universe thank you David for showing us this life in its natural order and it’s complexity let’s all be humble and give thanks for the web of life 😊 All things are connected and symbiotic
I appreciate that! Noice 😉🙏🏻
I can't emphasize enough how beautiful and inspiring you as a person and all that you have accomplished and shared with us really is. And the knowledge you have gained in such a short space of time is amazing. Honestly you are an educator and with your film and camera skills and amazing narration you should be televised to a larger population of people. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
We will get there 😄
This is so beautiful. Kudos to you dear earthling. Peace and blessings. Thank you. Namaste
Thanx Andy 🙏🏻
Weedy, your a genius. Keep up your good work. Very impressive!!!! Thanks
Thanks Weedy!
I have one word for this video: great, great, great!
As to the so called non-existence of special effects: I found there were a lot of special effects from David himself: camera positions, lighting, microfauna shots and all. Superb.
@@martijnvanbeek4387 lol!
I don't usually type comments,
But just came here to say that whenever things get bad, I just watch your content, and it just fills me with happiness and joy :)
