I love what you are doing. I live in Florida…I do this in the back yard….but man things are getting bad….you may find that your neighbors are going to be taking your veggies from you front yard.

I wish people who are creating an informational video would bother to write up a rudimentary script; at the very least an outline. That way the video would flow and we wouldn’t have to listen to 15,000 “you knows” in between the interesting stuff. Just sayin’

Are you using filtered water, or straight city water? If you’re using city water, do you know if your city adds toxic chemicals, such as chlorine and fluoride to the water?

Very nice. I subscribed. A few years ago I read several books on voluntary simplicity and of those one stuck out about an single mom in Australia who managed to feed her family of 4 on 1/4 acre. Most resources will say that you need several acres to feed a family, but I always felt that if one was careful and smart about how, where, and what they planted, much better yields in much smaller spaces could be attained. Your video is proof of that. Great job!

John, I have to say “Thank You”!
You inspired my husband and I to fill our backyard with raised beds!
Thank you so much for all of your video’s. I continue to learn from your vast knowledge! 🙂

That is wonderful! I wonder if planting trees or climbing vines in the very front would help to hid the yard and allow people with HOA and law restrictions to do this. It makes me wonder what wonderful things you did with your back yard.

I’ve done the same thing in a richer community and my neighbors hate me. Yours is WAY nicer than mine though.
