Hey, welcome to the Secret Garden Homestead! In this video we will show you how to transform your raw land into a thriving backyard orchard using the Back to Eden method. We bought our small homestead last year and one of the first things we did was plant out 1/3 of our orchard and we are so excited to eventually expand it and watch it mature! Whether you’re new to homesteading, orchard gardening, or edible landscaping, this DIY orchard transformation will inspire you to start your own homestead orchard!

Looks great!!
That video was so needed. I didn't know it was called Back to Eden. It's just me and it's a first garden, hence I've got 500 sf of yard to see if I can actually grow anything without the critters getting into it. I've got 4 or 5 mature nut trees too. Squirrels get 'em. Great video! When it thaws, I'm gonna be b.u.s.y. Thanks Christina and Ryan, good stuff!
Fantastic. The cardboard roll was a great idea. I collected cardboard boxes from Amazon.
The explanation on “back to Eden” gardening is so helpful and interesting. You guys are so lovely and industrious!
