@@manuelangerer-permaculture I have no idea on how to set up a CZcams donation feature but there must be lots of information available on how to do it.
This, by far, is the best and most beautiful, permaculture vegetable garden and video I believe that I've seen. Thank you for the inspiration, education, and beauty.
Thank you very much for your kind words! @@karenpeddicordbaranauskas3211

saya suka kebunmu, dan saya juga suka menanam sayuran organik, semoga sukses kawan
Hey manuel, schön deine stimme zu hören und euren wundervollen garten zu sehen! es war ein wahrer genuss. lg benedikt
Hey Benedikt, voll schön von dir zu hören! Danke für das wundervolle Feedback, ich habe mich sehr darüber gefreut!
What a wonderful garden you have!
Last year I began a new no dig garden area. Many benefits but also some teething problems. I don't have snow in winter, so I can grow quite a few crops at all times of the year. But in Tasmania we had months of winter rains which turned the garden and paths into a quagmire.
And possums have destroyed many plants, especially fruit bushes.
I am soon going to build a similar area around the garden fence for my pekin duck snail patrol, and chickens who will I hope, help to control the crickets which thrive in the woodchip paths, and eat my seedlings at night.
I'm looking forward to watching much more of your channel!
Thanks for your comment! Yes, if it rains for so long it can be challenging. I`d need to see your property if something can be done about this.
One thing you can try with the possums is to put up some electric fencing around your fruit bushes. Then you add a few pieces of aluminium foil (the one from the kitchen) and put a bit of peanut butter on it. The possums will want to eat the peanut butter and get a small shock. Do this once a month and they won`t come again to your bushes. (This works also with deer in our climate). The chickens will definitly help to decrease your chricket population, it helped in our garden a lot!
All the best, Manuel
I think Manuel is talking about American opossums.
For Aussie possums, just get a bag of blood and bone and tie sachets filled with a small handful onto the bushes or garden stakes. Apparently it smells like predator and they keep away. They will need to be refilled every so often, especially if you've had a lot of rain as it is soluble. Bonus is your plants get a feed. If you have space in another part of the garden, consider planting possum food so they go there instead of the vegie patch.
@@fionaanderson5796 Thanks for the helpful advice!! My "vegetarian" possums steal the cat food at night, including roast chicken and cooked meat, so I think they'd lap up blood & bone as a real treat! It's just not possible to grow things for the possums. They can't bear to leave any small plants uneaten. Fruit trees are decimated. Feeding them just encourages them and helps them breed & multiply. I've had to drag out the trap again. Have caught 7 this month, with all their mates still holding dance parties on my roof at night.
@@rubygray7749 My goodness! What are you breeding down there?
Possums are well known to eat insects, I'd never heard of them eating chicken. 7 on one property sounds a lot, they're territorial, and that's more than a family unit. What are you doing with them once you catch them?
@@fionaanderson5796 I'm on a farm with lots of bush nearby. There would be hundreds of possums, a self-perpetuating population. They don't get the chance to return once caught.
Congratulations, inspiring! What a view! How you manage to mantain an order on the salads regarding the invasion of the snails? :) Thank you in advance.
Thanks :) what exactly do you mean with your question?
Hey Manuel, your garden looks like heaven to me ! :) I have some questions that was not 100% clear from the video -
1. what are the types of cover crops that you use ?
2. on spring, do you remove the cover crops that dried during winter ? or do you leave them in place and put the mentioned 3cm of new compost on top ?
Sending peace from Slovakia 🟢🟡🔴
Hey there! I use vetch, clover, grains, alfalfa, lupine and mustard as cover crops. I remove the leftovers in spring before I add new compost!
I really like your approach with cover crops. What plants are you sowing? I recognised yellow mustard but couldn't identify the others.
Thanks! Yes, somehow the mustard went crazy this year and overtook all the others. I like to sow vetch, lupine, buckwheat, peas, beans, alfalfa, clover and some grains.
@@manuelangerer-permaculture Thanks for the additional information. I will definitely try out a few of them next year. :)
Very nice soil. I like those chicken run around garden.
I had wooden edges like you but with thicker boards. After 5 years they rot like paper. Are you going to replace yours for something more permanent or just replacing damaged ones?
Thanks! Yes the boards may be a bit thin, but I`m surprised at the good condition they are still in. Once they rot away I`ll build a more permanent edge. I wanted it cheap to start with because I wanted to see if the system and the form of the beds is right an good to work with!
That make sense. Good luck.@@manuelangerer-permaculture
Great video! What do you do to stop birds scratching up your seedlings before they get established? The birds in my garden are so destructive when they think there is a worm to be found :(
Thanks! I do not have a bird problem in the vegetable garden, they always look for food in the chicken pen. I know this can be a big problem and the only thing that helps is to put some netting over the seedlings until they have established.
What's the name of the cover crop you use?
In this video you see mostly yellow mustard. But I also grow vetch, lupine, alfalfa, clover, grains and buckwheat as cover crops!
Hi.Bitte was hast du für die Gründungen ein gepflanzt?.Danke
Wicken, Senf, Ackerbohne, Phacelia, Alexandrinerklee, Lupine, Sommerhafer
Ich hatte die gleiche Frage und fand sie in den Kommentaren schon beantwortet. Top! Danke.
I really want some chickens but I know it’s a lot more work and I’m already struggling with looking after my vegetables 🙈
How many hours a week would u spend in your garden?
I need about 4-5 hours a week for the vegetable garden. This of course changes during the seasons from zero in winter to 15 hours a week in August and September when the big harvests are done. I need another 3-5 hours a week to maintain the rest of our garden. Most of this time goes into mowing.
Hallo Grashupfer,
das Video kann mit deutschem Untertitel angeschaut werden. Vielleicht hilft dir das weiter😊.
What is your location? Not to be stalking/creepy, just to know if you’re in an area similar to me. Even growing zones vary wildly
I am from Austria, north of the alps in Zone 7a!
Sir can you grow honey bee's 🐝🐝 that you can get wax and honey ❤❤
Your English is quite okay but one can still hear that you are from Austria. Wo bist denn her? Abo is fix
Kirchdorf in Oberösterreich! Danke für`s Abo!
Wäre schön auch auf Deutsch 🙏. Englisch verstehe ich nur bedingt. 🙈
Danke für dein Feedback, derzeit habe ich das aber nicht in Planung. Ich mag es, dass die Videos so die ganze Welt erreichen. Liebe Grüße aus Österreich!
Es besteht die Möglichkeit das Video mit deutschem Untertitel anzuschauen
මම අසයි ඔයාගේ රටට එන්න ඔයට උදව් කරන්න
Nice garden. One thing though: No, chicken do not produce eggs for us. This conception must change.
Thanks!
Yes, eggs are a birds way to make more birds. I said that in the context of our vegetable garden ecosystem, where the chickens play an important role. You could also say that the salad didn´t grow for us because he also wants to bloom and make more salads. But that`s not how I look at gardening. I am aware that I take the eggs from our chickens. And I am aware that I take the life of the salad to sustain mine. And that`s the core of food: The dilemma that I have to take life (whatever form I chose to eat) if I want to sustain mine. And I do gardening because I want to do it in the most sensible way. I integrate as many living things into our garden to make it function as close to nature as possible while providing us as much food as possible. Our chickens take care of so many slugs, crickets and other stuff while eating those things. It it is a good feeling that I don`t have to kill all those animals through my hand (or collect all the slugs and bring it to the next forest where those slugs will desturb the ecosystem) but to rather use them as food to produce more food for my family in form of eggs.
Well said 👏
You are not " taking the life" of a salad.. trying to equate a living, breathing chicken to a plant is dishonest.
