[claeslook]

Love it when he goes wild in the end. <3 Great example of a permaculture system!

[CSVickers1984]

What is the plant Mr. Pilarski indicates at 7:17? It sounds to me like 'subverdia argentia' but I cannot find any information on it.

[CSVickers1984]

I have been unable to identify the plant Mr. Pilarski mentions at 0:25 in the video - it sounds to me like 'philantes'. What plant is talking about, there?

[4cysmith]

@CSVickers1984 Spilanthes...a daisy-like medicinal herb AKA toothache plant.

[toonberry]

Funny slip of the tongue ...."This was all filled with potato vine a minute ago"

[rathersurf]

Hilarious at the end!

[doobersmanster]

WHat a great Garden...wonderful

[Pathlessvoyager]

My favorite part is the jumping around, poping in the garden (forest). Thanks, nice work that you share.

[TheSchwabyLlama]

@Pathlessvoyager looks like gardening keeps us young

[Pathlessvoyager]

@TheSchwabyLlama Yep. Keep Popping. It is good cellular exercise. Neighbor's White cat is imitating.

[kthardin]

You have a problem with poisonous snakes, rabbits, or other things you either don't want or don't want to run into?

[hastingr]

wonderful overlap of all these wonderful species. Very cool!

[bluesdog88]

How does he control weeds?

[paulwheaton12]

@bluesdog88 first, there aren't many weeds because there is very little exposed soil. Second, as time passes and this evolves into a food forest, there will be even fewer weeds. Third, 90% of the things people call "weeds" are not weeds in this system. So - there are hardly any weeds to control. Far more details at permies dot com

[bluesdog88]

@paulwheaton12 Thanks for the reply, that's awesome so basically you can eat everything, I didnt realise that plants sent energy into the soil around them, great video great quality Thanks again ;)

[FightUni09]

@bluesdog88 everything he grows is weeds and I approve. edible weeds is the way of the future. I have a weed garden too but not as extreme as this man's. Wish I had the sun he has.

[bluesdog88]

@FightUni09 Absolutely, I'm currently trying to grow dandelions and stinging nettles ;)

[sookiestackhouse2u]

skeeter in the bush ... i'm getting weak in the knees. your knowledge is intoxicating.

[Jenigreni]

Ahhh, there's nothing like a skeeter in the garden!

[HotSauceJohnny]

Very knowledgeable guy. I am curious - is the focus more on creating a "system" rather than crop yield, or do you get the benefit of both? Thanks.

[paulwheaton12]

@HotSauceJohnny the system gives you the yield

[HotSauceJohnny]

@paulwheaton12 Thanks.  I've been thinking of trying this with part of my land. Weeds are the death of me every year.

[chuckthelumberjack]

Is this guy a MASTER or what?

[emmaCAMILLEable]

I think Skeeter is part rabbit. it's awesome.

[daveyellis]

What is the location of this video?

[paulwheaton12]

@daveyellis tonasket, washington

[paulwheaton12]

@daveyellis tonasket, washington

[northwestblazinfire]

@paulwheaton12 awesome garden, i love tonasket and the annual trip over the mountains to the beloved bater fair.

[bret354]

how do you get rid of ants, they took out a whole roe of turnips last year

[paulwheaton12]

@bret354 there are lots of folks that find ants are very helpful. But - for quick fix, I would use diatomacious earth. I wrote a whole article about diatomaceous earth at richsoil dot com

[BikeManDan1]

Very inspiring

Thanks very much to you and your subject

[hopelesswait]

This is so beautiful.

[nluedtke]

This is MADNESS. What an oasis- I love the deserty hills behind him.

[BaronVonSTFU]

If I wanted to get into this guy's line of work, where would I start?

[paulwheaton12]

@BaronVonSTFU this particular guy does a LOT of stuff. did you have something a bit more specific in mind?

[BaronVonSTFU]

@paulwheaton12 How would I get into agrofarming as a career?

[paulwheaton12]

@BaronVonSTFU I think the first step is to get a shirt with pineapples on it. :) The second step would be to take a PDC.

[vention4wh]

Man! That guy Rocks!

[VonLeachim]

I'd like to be a gnome in there.. nvm me, It's late :)

[paulwheaton12]

@phillipah7 I filmed it in september

[phillipah7]

@paulwheaton12 Here in Florida it has been T-shirt weather with a temperature around the mid 70's.

[lavenderdawnstar]

Wish I had a "Skeeter" in my neighborhood. Thanks! Delightful ending!

[mlfschumacher]

[blackpowderbill]
