In this video we take a close look at our permaculture vegetable garden. I show you the layout of the garden, how the chickens help us with weeding and slug control, how we maintain a high level of soil fertility and a few more interesting things about vegetable growing.

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!
I suggest that you set up a donation feature/option as I for one will be happy to gift you a couple of Euro’s now and again to keep up the good work that you do.
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?
👏👏👏👌👌👌 Sehr gute Erklärung!
Wäre schön auch auf Deutsch 🙏. Englisch verstehe ich nur bedingt. 🙈
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 🙁
Your videos are special so so special ! thanks man so much from Africa 💚
I really like your approach with cover crops. What plants are you sowing? I recognised yellow mustard but couldn't identify the others.
Excellent video!
Amazing garden, thanks for sharing
What's the name of the cover crop you use?
Thank you so much!
Beautiful garden 🎉
