- backtoedenfilm.com/ It is not too often that you see a serious prepper say that something they saw completely changed the way they are doing something so, when I heard LDSPrepper say that I sat up in my chair and took notice. After finishing his video I was sure that this method would work well in Texas but, there is no way that it could work where I live in Washington. Still, I followed the link to the Back To Eden movie and watched in amazement. I didn't notice it at first but, they kept saying Sequim Washington. That's only an hour from where I live. I called Paul up and a couple of days later I was standing in his farm. Paul was very inviting. He let us go anywhere, eat anything, video our visit and before we left he gave us some seeds. He told us to come back whenever we wanted and to call him with any questions we had. He loves to share his knowledge. Here is part of that visit.
Paul would say immediately it will start to help. Just having the cover on the ground will help regulate the temp and water. It must rain or be watered before the compost tea action can happen. For most, if you put it down in the fall, in the spring you should be ready. With no compost added, it may be a year before you really see the improvement in your veggies but, you will notice that you do not have to water as often if at all and the weeds will be easier to pull as the ground will loosen
this guy is so spiritually good, much love to him.
Glad you got a new camera and I am also very glad you posted these videos, even with the audio problem. I just keep my cursor on the volume control. LOL Thanks!
Paul is so wise, he definitely has the spirit and wisdom of God guiding him, this method of Gardening has been revealed right on time at these end times, soon things will hit the fan and those who prepare and plant food will be able to survive to the end. keep your eyes on Israel and the rebuilding of the third Temple, once the temple is rebuilt and the man of sin will put an end to the sacrifices we will know Christ's return is only 3.5 years away. Daniel 9:27 & Matt 24
Thank you for sharing!
This man is so cool! I wanna hang out with him. I could listen to his information all day.
I live in the San Joaquin Valley.
When I was in high school I did a project and went to farms and took soil samples.
I remember one farm that had almost 6 inches of salt buildup on the top of the soil.
I never could get that image out of my head knowing that I'm eating food out of the farm like this.
And since then I have grown my garden naturally as I could, using wood chips of course long ago.
Thanks for filming and posting your visit with Paul. Great stuff! Please send these two videos as VR's to my channel so I can link to them so others will see these too.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am in the desert trying to figure out how to do this ........
Paul just intrigues me with his coolness and infinite knowledge : ) When I get to Sequim, I'll be sure to visit him when I stop by the Diamond Point area. Thanks for the videos!
In the desert, you want as much moisture as possible, so I suggest creating
"pits" (recessed areas) in the ground, mulching the area with whatever organic matter you can find, digging holes and planting.
If possible, plant some palms, dates, or other heat resistant plants, around your garden areas to filter the intense sun during the day.
"You can't improve on the natural order." -Paul Gautschi
As soon as I can. I just have too many things going on right now to take a day off and head up there. I'm so busy that I go to work to relax. Sometime in June I am thinking.
All I could afford when I started this channel was a Flip camera. The microphone is in the back. This is why you cannot really hear Paul and why everyone behind or beside the camera is loud. I had the choice of not posting any videos of Paul or posting bad sound of Paul. I saved up for a year to buy a shinny new camera so that you all can hear Paul better. All of the recent videos have better sound. Thank you for taking the time to read the other comments.
Put a layer of compost or cooked manure on top of your woodchips then water it in. When you plant, you are going to pull back the woodchips, poke a hole in your newspaper and plant in the hole. Once the plant has grown above the woodchips, push the woodchips back in place.
And it will help break down the cops also
Thank you for these videos! I really appreciate it, golden information
I totally agree with you that pissing on the cops might break them down. LOL. I'm glad you clarified the comment because I was lost on what you could have meant.
The permaculture videos with Jeff Lawton ,who grew plants in the Negev Desert [near the Dead Sea] found that the endophytic fungi that grew in the SWALES sequestered the salts and balanced the uptake of the right salts for their plants and the fruits & plants grew plentiful.
I will ask Paul on my next visit which will be in September more than likely. If I had to guess at a Paul answer to this I would think he would say, "If you want to". I would think that the radish and beats would just push anything out of their way. The lettuce may get crowed. Paul has taken seeds and just thrown them on the ground with no issues in spacing. I have seen some very close planting in square inch gardens. Right now you don't have a problem, I would wait until you do.

The indirect sunlight you are receiving will allow you to grow greens and root crops quite well. Kale, Spinach, Lettuce, Celery, Parsley, Cilantro, Collards, Onions, Mustard Greens, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli, Celery, Carrots, Beets, Radishes . . . . all can be grown. :)
Thanks so much .......... This place gets less than five inches of rain per year. I know I will have to water and have been thinking of a drip system under the mulch; but after hearing that the "rain washes the nutrients down into the soil" I am trying to figure out how create the more natural environment. Good luck to you :)
Ok, Thanks

Try using headphones or external speakers plugged into the headphone jack. I have been told this works great.
One tip on making future videos. Have people stand as far away from the camera mic as Paul was in this video so the audio is balanced. I could barely hear Paul without cranking up the volume, but when one of the women laughed, it about blew my eardrums out. The commercials were also very loud.
These videos are awesome info!!!! I have a question, We have a large piece of ground that has been TILLED every year & used as a vegetable garden. Can we just put mulch & wood chips on top of that and plant our seeds WITHOUT first laying down any newspaper?

They decomposed and are turning back to dirt.. This will always happen and you will have to add a little every other year or so.
The link is the very first thing you see in the description.
I just bought a house and they have plastic down everywhere, it’s been neglected for a while. Should I remove all the plastic before I start my garden but then I will have to dig into the ground
Depending on the soil, how long can the covering take to fertilize and enrich the soil..?
Can anyone find the article that paul was talking about? The one on the greenhouse study?
When are you going over to see Paul again?
Should I be concerned about dyed wood chips around my property from previous homeowners and should I have them removed

Question Paul: when we go to the city to get free yard waste, what happens with the grass clippings from lawns sprayed with chemicals, do we need to worry...?
Rory Dabney It depends. For the most part no. The reason is that you are getting clippings from many yards. Even if one yard put nothing but, roundup on their grass, it will be mixed in with other people clippings. If you are still worried, compost it for a while and add some kitchen waste or fish blood.
Can this be done in raised beds? I built some last year and would hate to pull them up and waste them and the money i spent building them. Also i noticed recently that they would have to be filled back up a half a foot to reach the top again, but the original soil was manure with woody leaf humus. They did good last year but i want then to do "Back to Eden" good.
This can be done in raised beds or even potted plants but, since your dirt is higher than the ground level, your results will be less than if you planted in the ground.
OK thanks
Wish you gave the mic to Paul. He speaks softly and by contrast the interviewer is too loud
They keep talking about "The Film" but no one ever mentions the title.
Hello, I'm here to respond to you six years later. The title of the film is: "How to Grow a Vegetable Garden - Back To Eden Organic Gardening Film"
Volume?
its very hard to hear!
What about dog poop? I have a lot of dog poop, how do I put it to good use?
Ivana Plavsic I asked Paul your question so, it should be coming up in the next few pruning videos. Basically Paul does not like to use it in his garden. He just throws it into the woods. There are people who even use human waste for gardening but, Paul gets all he needs from his chickens.
Thanks for taking the time. :)
Chips
Where are you located, city, state, country?
Brianna B Paul is in Sequim, WA. USA I am in Eastern WA. USA
My family is trying to sale our home in Las Vegas NV so we can move to WA. When we get up there would you mind setting up a time where we could meet and you maybe give us some pointers?
Brianna B I'm always willing to visit people property to see what they are up to. If you make it to Eastern WA. let me know. Paul doesn't go to far away from home but, if you end up in Western WA. you can see him in the summer in Sequim.
