Beautiful! I will say: don’t take that gorgeous fruitful soil for granted. Amend it every fall so it renews with good healthy organic decomposition; rotate your vegetables from terrace to terrace every year so that the nitrogen suck they perform doesn’t deplete the same zone year after year (and so that hungry insects have to search longer to find them every year), and plant some beneficial cover crops now and again, clovers and nitrogen mining buckwheat etc can help replenish the soil as well as feed beneficial insects and pollinators (mix in flowers for pollinator health too) and don’t be afraid to experiment but also look around your regional gardens for helpful hints and don’t try to reinvent the wheel 😉 😊 after that glorious immense harvest last year don’t expect the same, you may have to work for it this year! Beautiful!
Love the flamenco music!
The amount of over growth on these terraces was overwhelming. You beat it back and the soil was very good and healthy and produced great supply of vegetables.
Now that you have finished the house, do you have anything you wish you had done differently? How would you do it now that you are older and wiser and developed greater skills and knowledge.
Fantastic work, the vegetable looks in great condition again.
When we bought our plot in 2003 nearby in Ceriana, we had half a hectare or so of 3m deep brambles making the rustico very difficult to get to and we almost fell into a 4m deep irrigation pond fighting our way through the first time !
So we hired a local guy to clear it which took him a month. Then another local guy came in with his digger to turn over each terrace to remove the bramble roots. Fortunately he left the edges so as not to damage the terrace walls, so some of our vines (cieliogiolo) came back.
We eventually fenced our whole land with help from the commune to pay for the wire, but we still had problems with potatoes (but nothing else) being dug up which was apparently badgers. We solved that by planting a few potatoes each week in tubs to give us a nice succession.
The only suggestion I would make is a compost bin so you can make your own compost to enrich the soil – a local source of good well rotted animal manure is useful too. It's also a good idea to practise a crop rotation system so diseases don't build up.
Bon chance !
La nature BELLE et REBELLE ❤
Muy bonitas vistas,hermosa quedó la casa felicidades.
That’s hard work planting a garden. I hope you will have a great bounty for all of your hard work. Great job!
Wow. That was a lot of work! Well done! 👏
Beautiful..Such hard work.
Bonne travaille! La musique est très belle ❤
Verry wonderfull place …just find this accompt ,thanks you so much ❤
Hard work but great harvest.
Looks really good. Maybe you can use wood ships around the plants. It keeps the soil moist longer…
It's a bit late now but next autumn add horse manure or mulch or leaf litter, compost things like that on top of the terraces to put some nutrients back into the soil and prevent weeds getting a head start in spring. Try growing some berries or fruit bearing trees for some variety. Source small growing native species and nuts like walnut, hazel and chestnut. Place these on the perimeter. Some fruit shrubs and trees need the sun and warmth and could benefit from planting near the walls. Investigate perennial vegetables that come back each year like rhubarb. I think you did an amazing job and I wish you luck this year…
Hermoso huerto! Tanto trabajo vale la pena…
It is a hard work but the place is amazing and deserves all your attention 😊🍅🥬🥒🫑🥦🍆🥕🥔🌶 from the Dolomites in Italy
👍
Génial ! Le plus gros est fait ! Hâte de découvrir le fruit (et les légumes) de ce dur travail ! 🍅🥕
🤗🌿🌱🌾🍆🍅🌶️🥕
It's nice to see you posting more frequently again! 🎈
Everything you do, you do well. I wish I had your energy!
Wow, that was quite a cleanup! Have a better year this year. Over 200k of food.
Bravo Vincent hai fatto un bellissimo lavoro e tanta soddisfazione. Quest’anno sarà ancora meglio. 🔝🔝
Good morning from Vermont USA. Watching your video has exhausted me. WOW.
It’s like you have uncovered a treasure!
Such hard manual labour, maybe a little tractor to help?
Fossi in te pianterei delle viti. Garda che lì il vino sarebbe favoloso!
‘My’ – did you guys divorced? I hope not. Otherwise it should have been ‘OUR” garden
Bonjour. Bravo pour ce travail titanesque !!! Pour vous éviter ce débroussaillage de printemps et surtout avec toute la matière que vous dispo sur votre terrain, couvrez votre terre des l’automne, avec de la tonte, des copeaux de bois, des déchets verts et paille en bonne épaisseur. Cela nourrira votre sol tout en le protégeant et vous pourrez repartir pour une belle saison de culture. Pensez aussi au rotation et l’association de légumes qui se protègent entre eux. Je vous ai suivi depuis le début. Bonne continuation.
very impressive!
No se donde sacas tanta fuerza es increíble tu energía, y sobre todo tu entusiasmo…
My muscles are full of lactic acid just from watching this.
Encore un épisode intéressant ! , je n'ose imaginer le travail que les gens qui ont créés ces restanques ont dû abattre à la main ….. Au fait de quand date la maison ?
What a beautiful garden you've made for yourself! Congratulations! If you can find someone (particularly an old person) with a vegetable garden and ask them for some instructions, they will probably give you all of the instructions you could ask for. Usually, if you have a garden centre, they provide plants that will be the right type for your area. Pay attention to the amount of sun, water and soil composition they need, which is usually provided with the plants or ask. Usually, starting a composting system helps with fertilizing, which is helpful done every year right before planting. Someone else mentioned a no-dig system, which is a more modern (and probably very old) way of doing things. It looks like you did everything right last year; that was a great harvest! The last thing that's a good idea is to change the type of plant you put in an area each year. There's so much information on YouTube!! 😂 Do take advice from people from your area, though. You've got lots of sun, which is the first ingredient! Thank you for sharing. I am so happy to see you any time you make a video.
What a beautiful garden area!! Do you can or freeze the produce? Or give away what you can't eat?
Hallo Vince, seit einiger Zeit ist Maddy nicht mehr zi sehen in den Videos.
Ist alles okay?
Oder habt ihr euch getrennt?
Was sehr schade wäre.
Evin ve bahçenin her yıl daha da güzelleştiğini görmek harika ❤
Amazing and inspirational..merci!
There is something special about growing your own fruits and vegetables. You know what went into it and it can't get any fresher than going outside and foraging what you need. You can probably do raised beds in that area, but that just means more work and soil. But you have all that wood and brush from clearing the yard, so not too bad. The first year yielded some good results, so maybe just tilling and reintroducing some minerals for the next harvest is needed. Sometimes it is nice to open the area to animals so they can eat the remaining plants at the end of the season and fertilize the soil. I have a friend who brings his goats at the end of the season to clear my fields. The garden terraces are looking nice, the ramp was a nice touch by the old timers, cheers!
feel free to pee in your garden………………………………………
It is wonderful you do great job.
Non solo architetto, ma anche contadino!😊
Encore une fois, BRAVO, bonne continuation et toujours en attente de votre prochaine parution. Salutations du Québec.
