In this guild, I plant a bosc pear as the primary tree, yarrow for fixing nitrogen in the soil, lavender for feeding beneficial insects and repelling pests, St. John's Wort for shade and insects, blackberries for food and comfrey for mulch and for mining minerals from deep underground.

Wonderful to sit in the garden and have you explain to us what you are doing and why! I think my father would have enjoyed your company very much. Our lot was part of an old farm, mostly sand. He did his research like you, and we were happy with most of his results. He thought he would go for the DNR but decided that it wouldn't support his growing family. My mother often wished he had gone with his heart. He would have been a happier man and lived longer. Blessings on you, your family, and all of your endeavors!🙏⛺️📚🐈⬛🫖🖖🥧🪡

At 3:35 that's a stellar jay whistle. Black and blue jay looking bird. I see them all the time where I live in NV. It's also pleasant hearing the woodpeckers too.

I just enjoyed the garlic harvest video. I planted a few dozen garlic from the supermarket last fall. Only about a third grew. They bolted early but I did get some not too bad ones. I hung them in my hot dry workshop for lack of a cooler place. in a couple weeks I tried some and although smallish, tasted awesome.

Here since day 1 in Alberta Thanks for all the content much appreciated

Terrific! I suppose there might be some that are disappointed you didn’t follow their advice on the new channel. I will admit, I didn’t think it was totally necessary, but it really wasn’t for any of us to say how you present your content. Delighted that you decided to go this way and look forward to content that is more inclusive of what you are doing as, and for, your family!
