This is the garden before
Anything has been done to it an entire winter of
shit this one looks good
Well howdy earth land it's me garden, boy, and today i hope you're ready to learn how, to start a
Beginners small-scale suburban or urban or rural
Vegetarian vegan gluten free steroid hormone antibiotic free
Eco-friendly sustainable hippie approved non comedogenic
Vegetable herb fruit
permaculture edible god
Of course as a bonus i mean, we get to hang out so beautiful day out rather than go super
Deep into permaculture i'll just gloss over it for those of you, who don't give a shit
permaculture is based on
Whole system's thinking rather than separate parts it's based on sustainability and it is all about
Working with mother nature rather than trying to control, and subdue her because, we all know. That's stupid
Modeling her like perfect
Imperfection that's, my favorite thing, about nature and you'll see what i mean as we go through the steps we're trying to
be
Sustainable here so we're taking out the middleman we're taking out the grocer we're taking out the trash and the packaging
And all the nasty pollution and pesticides that are involved in mass agriculture
You get full control here it is like the most empowering
magical thing the closest thing to being a wizard really i mean that basically turns you into, one
Okay, so it's way past the frost date which is what i want because?
Here in indiana, we have something called
Bipolar, state syndrome where it will be 80 degrees one day and a blizzard the next so
It's well past that there's no chance that we're, going to get any snow or frost hard frost
Anyway, okay, step one is to analyze your yard or wherever you are going to grow
Your tasty treats this is a very terrible
Aerial shot south-facing, is best because the south
gets the most
Sunlight throughout the entire day really anywhere that gets at least half a day, of sunlight should be pretty good
For example my garden beds are in a west-facing
Alignment and they still, do all right i'd like to thank the sun for
All of its energy and then you're going to want something to contain
your
Soil, and keep out the lovely hungry, little angels that run round and this at night
So what i did was i went to lowe's i think and got?
chicken wire
Wooden planks and then i got they, make spiked
skewered type things wow that's definitely not what they're called and i just stabbed them into the ground i
Nailed these together and then i literally just wrapped the chicken wire around it and that's all i did i am the
Opposite of a handyman i don't know
What i'm doing and i still was able to do this so you came to i believe in you, and
This is obsessed with grass i guarantee, he's gonna eat some for the camera
Okay, step two get dirty
Here in the suburbs, where only grass is allowed they
Strip the topsoil and sell it when they are building these houses so you can best believe you are definitely going to need
organic soil and
Probably compost so once you have your soil and your compost you're going to want to make a
Basic bare-bones sheet mulching and in permaculture sheet mulching is just when we emulate nature's
Soil layers so we typically don't have, like a forest floor to
Perfectly, plant our vegetables in so we're going to try and create the same environment for plants
nice
Okay, so since i can't rip up my actual gardens i'm gonna show
You, guys, how to lay down, a sheet mulch
It's actually super you know it's just a fucking piece of cardboard and this will keep the weeds from growing. Like this
over
the winter i think this will be perfect, no it's about right she just got the good deed
And then you literally just put
it forms a barrier
between
All the weeds that are gonna try and pop up yeah it's really that simple and then i would recommend doing that for
Your actual garden bed i was just showing you an example of how to do it in the
Wouldn't call this
the aisle
eventually your soil is going to be
Thirsting for some nutrients and you have two options for this you can compost or you can, cover crop we're
Going to go over both options, even though i usually only cover crop, when you're
Buying compost remember that should not costs really more than $30 a cubic yard even for organic it should not have like
Big pieces of food in it or else it's not ready it should not stink like
Cat piss or trash it should smell, like good and kind of manure ish
That doesn't smell good does it?
adding compost you can
Cover crop and the reason that cover crop is because she does it all baby cover cropping
During the winter keeps everything, from eroding it
Aerates the soil with its roots it brings up all those lovely nutrients to the top it also supplies nitrogen
Which i won't get into, like the signs of it but it provides the nitrogen to the soil which you need, that's really
What else and then when you in the spring it's?
All the compost you need it's less
Time i don't have a compost bin and i have to go buy anything
What i do is they either plant?
Clover or hare advance
Or i just let shit grow kind of like i did this
Year most of this stuff i'm just going to wind back and let it
biodegrade naturally in the soil because that's worse to come on i mean
It's all gonna work out ready to check, some prostates
The next step is to
Weed whack all my cover crop, and i'm gonna mix up with a, soil and it will biodegrade
Thanks to our lovely fungi, crow, beale friends right, okay, let's do it
This, isn't proper. And i'm sure it's not what like master gardeners would tell you to do but i just kind of hold this shit
all the
dead stuff
From last year and i just aerate the hell out of this mother and if you see any of these seed pod
By, he's thrown. You do not want those new girls
now this, was my first ever garden bed
So it has had a couple years to establish itself that's, why, you can see there are currently food crops
Some of these things i want to keep but, also the strawberries have completely taken over so
Some of them have to get the ax
So as you can, see it's not like the most aesthetic
way of doing things but it works for me i
love the natural
Kind of crazy, everything popping up everywhere look, so that i'm gonna plant an but anyway this half i'm just gonna let
Nature take its course, there's, some delicious stuff coming up these are all gonna be not
Be long tall and what else and then chamomile it's all?
Perennial, so that's the thing notice how. I didn't use 90% of
The cover crop because
There's so much organic matter here that it's just the ratio would. Be fucked here i'll insert the ratio now, we'd recommend staying within
These ratios so that it doesn't get
to
nitrogen rich
Alright, these lovely beds are ready for us to
plant our seeds in so step three is
How are we gonna get the most food out of this teensy-weensy little space you definitely?
Want to plant in beds because beds
Give you more!
Square footage as
Opposed to rows now at the point, where, we get to decide what?
We want to grow, the funnest part number one what do you like to eat what makes you salivate brown
That's the most important thing and then the second most important thing is the?
Yield and the ease of growth so we're dealing with. A, small space, and i'm assuming you are too so you, want something that
Takes up a small space but produces big juicy meaty
Not meat but like meaty
Vegetables i have a list of the official fastest growing
vegetables radishes green onions, lettuce baby carrots spinach
Peas, bush, beans kale
Squash, and cubes so that's funny because a few of those are on my highly recommended list let's get to it the vegetables
herbs
Berries that i find are the easiest to grow. And give me the most bang for my, buck
Are as follows green onion, blueberry, bush tucker bean
My, favorite pepper in the whole world
cherry, peppers i've been through, this chamomile cilantro strawberries and then i don't have, any growing yet but squash are amazing, and
beans and cucumbers and
There are multiple ways you can go about getting seeds, my favorite way, is the freeway, which is?
This is from last, year these are cilantro seeds they're now called
cold alba
That rhymes with, my, name dried camomile
Literally, chia, seed from the grocery store, oh and you can get them online - so these are from
Just garden store
Organic of course and then these are from the internet because the internet gives you a cool
Shit like 500 camomile seeds and camomile seeds are
Microscopic so it's a good, way of going i'm not going to open it alright finally time to plant
My, seed you're, going to want to consider
The path of the sun since this is a west-facing as you can
see the sun setting over there i'm going to want my tallest plants, aka, my chia seeds or my cheer plants to be
On this side because they will not shade everything else throughout the day, again you can be very
very
detail-oriented and anal about this i
Prefer i'm a techie i prefer to just sprinkle them, and water them and rake it all about because i feel like
That is the most natural way?
Seeds don't get planted in perfect
little angel rows in
Nature so that's what i'm gonna, do
For coriander as you can see cilantro magically appears, again, anyway but
You, never hurt i love this i feel, like, harry fucking potter
Green onion can grown anything i think this is like old aquarium rocks
But you literally just buy a bushel, from the store eat them and then stick the ends of them in dirt it's that simple guys
for cherry, peppers here's the seed core and i usually just
Drop it on in so i mean you know, what squash seed look, like you part eating them i make like
Three titty mounds like so you, can't really see them that, well and then you just tuck these little, boobs
Into the soil one of them is bound to grow
Infinitesimally to baby camomile, again, with really tiny seeds, like, this you literally just sprinkle them. Check you
For a runner beans garden beans, whatever the, hell
You, want to call them you, want to have some sort of support, because the best tip i can give you about
making the most out of your small, ass garden is
Don't forget the vertical row dollars this
Can help the beans grow. Upwards i also, use these, little posts so
Example you take these posts come over here
Jam it in dump your splinter and then you just plant these. Cute little beans at the base of them
boom
then finally i just typically
Give them an extra little soap
because
Sinks, those seeds right here for you
Y'all know i'm a. Dirty hippie, and i'm gonna, do it mother nature's way if you, want prim and proper gloves lacrosse bulls mm-hm
Yeah, that's, about it guys i mean gardening is a pretty straightforward. Process you just
follow the lead of mother nature so i
Hope, this was helpful of course i'm sure i left room for it shit tons of questions leave
them down below in the comments and you know, i will reply to you, you know i
Hopefully, this inspires everyone to be a little more creator a little less consumer can i get a
Yeah i'll. Be sure to update you in future videos once the little angels start growing
