We went to go and visit Willow and Duncan at their off grid permaculture community garden to find out how they do things and get some ideas for our food forest in Portugal.
This vlog is long and is just about permaculture, gardening, food sovereignty and organic farming so if its not your bag then maybe pass this one up.
Thanks for watching and you can follow our journey on the other socials, go find us on Facebook, Instagram or support us through Patreon or Buy Me a Coffee, we are supremely grateful for all your continued support and encouragement.

First, the first thing I noticed was the interesting graphic on the back of your hoodie and the last thing I hear you talk about is glory hole. I know that makes me a sick old lady but I found this funny. Hahaha.
It is fascinating to see and hear the various methods they are using on this land to regenerate it and grow crops. Nick, I can see you and Sarah taking this idea and running with it. You could do a lot with your food forest area.
Take care folks. With all the horrible things going on in my country lately, I am very seriously considering going to Portugal sooner than I was planning. It could be a financial cut but my sanity would be worth it. Do you know much about a small town/village called Cantanhede near Coimbra. I saw a video of it and that area looked and sounded appealing to me. Much love to you both. ❤❤💛💛💜💜
Loved the permaculture community gardens ..Natural planting and recycling ♻️..The no dig method of planting is fabulous ..Im about to do a small garden here in Wyoming USA ..I can grow herbs ok ..Love these,and use then alot ..but the soil isn't great and need a good compost ..Our growing season is about 3mths ..
Sarah is so knowledgeable in the garden ..Well done ..Loved it ! Thankyou 🤩😍👍👌
I like your show, but the sweat shirt is not a good idea. It’s actually discussing. I’m sorry I told all my friends about your show 🙁. By the way I’m a subscriber.
Your sweat shirt was inappropriate 😳
Nice video guys, would love some seeds from them
VIDEO GREAT SANS THE DOGGIE AFFAIR ON HOODIE…UGH…LOVE YOU GUYS, BUT, FRANKLY IT MADE ME VOMITOUS…;)
OMG YES!!! 🌀💚🌀
Just watched your video, it was very interesting, a different technique than what I was used too, growing up & when I raised my own garden. I love the part of growing things organically because I have found organic eggs & milk last much longer. One thing I do not ever want to go back to is an outhouse first few years of my life on farm we had one ugh I am not interested lol. I do love growing fresh herbs & cooking with them. Thanks again for sharing & have a blessed week. I think we can all learn from different techniques of growing food.
Sorry but all I could see was the back of your hoody Nic 😲
😀
Cool topic, inspiring 😊👍🏼. Love your diverse sharings.
Food prices wiil most likely become unaffordable in the near future , gardens like yours are and will be even more ; Lifesavers . No pesticides , more nutritional as well preferably , good advice to your viewers .
💕Very interesting💕
reallly interesting vlog guys, thank you <3
Very interesting! I am intrigued by strawberry spinach. Cool! Here there is fertilizer shortage, very high diesel cost, which is passed on to the consumer. These type of projects are very important to try to fill the gap. 🙂👍👍👍
Brilliant video…I learned to garden from my parents as a youngster. I can still remember those early mornings, my mother waking us to go out and tend the garden before the heat of the day. We have a small garden (approximately 30' x 50') that we grow a lot of tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, onions and my favorite…cucumbers. Nothing like a crisp cucumber, fresh from the garden. My wife pickles banana peppers and jalapeno rings as well as hot pickles to snack on. She is also a wonder at canning salsa, and tomatoes for chili and spaghetti sauce. On the back side of the house, we grow several herbs in large pots, so we can go out while cooking and snatch up something fresh to add flavor to the meals. Nick, I totally dig your humor…can't get that hoodie out of my head…lol.
Very interesting and and inspirational. I am sure that you guys will be going back to Portugal with a few good ideas.
Really interested at their wind and solar energy generator. Did they buy in Portugal? Or a sort of semi home built system?
Love the idea of planting foods that you've never tried to grow, or often tasted, before. The three sisters' companion plants were so interesting. It looks like a substantial amount of food is being produced in what appears to be a relatively small growing area. Plus great too see the rewilding of large areas of the land.
Very interesting and informative.
Really interesting vlog. Thanks for sharing.
What an inspiring experience for you both 💚🌱🌿🌞. Love the idea of being off grid and being as self sufficient as possible, particularly in these days of soaring food/energy prices. Fennel is great for digestion and I make tea out of it as well as peppermint tea too. Great video guys xx
Blimey that’s a mouthful of a title !! So you are back in Uk from the look of that sky………
