www.permies.com Michael “Skeeter” Pilarski shows me his storage shed for his herbs. He has a successful business of selling herbs, both fresh and dried. Skeeter is a well known permaculture instructure and wildcrafter. He mentions that about 3 of his dried herbs are organic farmed (vs. wildcrafted (wild harvested)) and 1/2 of his fresh herbs are organic farmed. It sure smells good in there! Skeeter talks a little about his herb cleaning system. Skeeter also has tinctures. The shed is dry and rodent proof with a good, even temperature. There is enough in the shed for hundreds of thousands of cups of tea, and hundreds of thousands of bottles of tincture. Well known clients of skeeter’s: “The Herbalist” and “The Herbalist and Alchemist” – most of Skeeter’s stuff ends up with naturopaths. music by Jimmy Pardo
Part 2 of the Summer 2010 Food Forest tour… Zone 1…is the kitchen herb garden. Zone 2… is the Almond and Peach Guild…mixed in with Sea Buckthorn and raspberries. The comfrey is mixed in EVERYWHERE…and is an absolute STAPLE…in this strategy…it’s mining minerals constantly, we then chop..and drop… the leaves in place..to build fertility. The worms love this…. The clover is also building fertility and attracting beneficial insects. We’ve been eating it too… Zone 3…is the terraced beds…which are being transplanted to GOJI BERRIES right now..with other mixed perennial herbs Zone 4…is the DOME. As well as figs and pomegrates making up this guild/zone. Zone 5…are the lower beds…and will be in the next video. Might change the “zones” to…other names..haha…I like Terabithia…and other such names…

Thanks for the video, however can you make it? smoother, the camera moves too fast and I get dizzy. Its very good material, and its a pitty that the camera moves so fast.
Are? you in St Georege?
hey, thanks for the kind comment, very appreciated. yup, the shade cloth is for creating a shaded mircoclimate. this climate zone, goes from cold to really hot…quickly. with the shade? cloth attached to pvc, i can easily move the shade where i need it. my trees are growing quickly, so hopefully one day, they will help with the shade/mircoclimate.
Hey great looking garden! im planning on starting my first one this year. A quick questioni have is what are the like canopy things for? like over the parsley and kale garden? is it to lower the suns intensity? or what does it do. would appreciate a response to that thanks.

hey, congratulations, nice garden you have… you have to make some more how? to videos… but you will have to take a stand for the camera… it is unconftable the continues movement plus you show to much.. make videos on how to one thing. take a look at praxus videos…. but thanks any way…. regards from colombia south america.
Super!? Way to go!
I planted asparagus this year about 2 feet wide around my whole garden. When it comes up it is like a little green fence! haha, Im? waiting till next spring to harvest though. I know a farmer that grows egyptian onions and they are potent! They look like medusa coming up each year to guard his mulberry trees.
Thank-you Jake! I don’t think I’ve ever been more in love in my WHOLE LIFE!? We’re very happy!
A medicinal food forest in BC… ahhhh, just thinking about that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy… ahhhh. So nice. Haha. I can see it too! And I know we will manifest it someday!
Thank-YOU Jake for inspiring me to keep the dream (of creating a food forest) alive! XO!
Thanks Gary!! Very appreciated!! Uploading part 3 today..lol. ? A bit long..but had a hard time getting it all in..I don’t like editing video too much

I’m going to do exactly? that!! Thanks for the suggestion…that looks beautiful in my minds eye
Ahhh it’s all so beauty-ful! Thankyou for? sharing this Jake! *Hugs*
Awesome design. You could plant asparagus and? egyptian onions as the perennial vegetables in the shade of the goji berry bushes
Thanks Jake. I’ll check the documentary out. I’m going to do an update and partial harvest video in a day or two when the? weather allows.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Great Work.? Inspirational. Thanks again.
Really nice garden. I love the variety of plants you have. Seems like you’re changing focus from traditional and annual veggies. Surely nothing? wrong with that. After a while, you’ll have nothing to do but enjoy it all
Again, I really like how you’ve laid everything out.
Regards, Gary
Also..look at “one green world? dot com” they have them
Thank you!! I grew the Goji’s from berries. You can check out the post..and how? I did it…on my website. Look for the post…:”Growing Gojis, the Incans or anything else” it lays it all out.
