- The evolution of my food forest garden in its first 2 years and how its structure has changed from grass to annual crops to growing more of a perennial based fruit and vegetable system. Soil, mulch, organic matter, some hard work and TIME. eatyourgarden
Thankyou to everyone who has liked and subscribed, appreciate it very much
Awww. I learn so much from these Videos. Who needs Encyclopaedias? It’s a collective Global Movement that is the way of the future. I would love nothing more than for my little Grandchildren to go out foraging. It’s our medicine also.
Really appreciate your insight on perennial crops. Following to learn more
Fantastic!!!! And ridiculously inspiring!
You achieved a lot in this two years 👍
Very down to earth mate, loved the video!
Thankyou for your video! Love Aussie back yard gardeners!
Well done mate, thanks for inspiring me, can't beat home grown, thanks for sharing your story,regards Roy
Great job! Cheers from Pacific Haven QLD
Inspirational mate.
Good on ya mate
What an absolute unit. Nice work, legend! Such an enjoyable I transformation to watch
Unit? Ok ill take that one
Fantastic work mate. Building soil is the key. Have you thought about putting in swales to maximise water harvesting and water retention on the property?
This looks like my journey in purchased .27 acres and the soil is sandy. Planting cover crops and building a food forest with fruit and support species trees.
nice vid mate loved it :)
Thankyou very much, really appreciate it :)
Great info...I am starting my food forest on the Sunshine Coast in Australia and I like your advice about how to turn towards perennials in your food forest...just subbed...looking forward to your progress...
Ditto. I’ve just started mine too.
Great vid mate, hopefully now your dam is over flowing
Rhodes grass is very dominant & not much competes with it. Don't forget your half seed life under the soil as well can be a real pain !
Amazing! Where is that garden located area wise. We are in Perth and its hard core trying to keep it watered 🙄

We had a dry snap a few years ago, water restrictions etc, Gum Trees where falling over left right and centre, but what I looked at, as i drove past, was the size of their root structure, tiny! and that's why they fell over, yet they were massive trees must be over 25 years old. i'm guessing plants need less than a metre of good, nutrient rich, drain-able soil to grow in, doens't matter the type of plant, look at the root system of mangroves. We also had a huge! evergreen buttrus rooted tree in the front yard and I found roots in the back yard, no more than a metre, thick roots. I think most plant;s root systems lie near the surface. Great vid, great inspiration.
Great comment. Weve had a few big gums come down lately too, but i think thats because the ground is so waterlogged. Yeh i find alot of trees will only spread their roots where they can. kind of like water, path of least resistance. And also trees are pretty shallow rooted in hard compacted soils. Thanks very much for your input :)
my pleasure mate, I certainly love to know how this 'world' around us operates and how we should interact with it.
me too mate, i think thats what keeps us going :)
Where do you live? I live just south of Brisbane and am struggling with the drought too.
I actually dont live there anymore. Ive moved back to the gold coast
