About Us.
Byther Farm is a small organic homestead, being designed and managed using permaculture practices. We aim for self-sufficiency in fruit and vegetables for increased self reliance and better resilience to the modern world. I recognise that we are unlikely to be truly self sufficient, but do the best we can. I share our home with my loving husband, Mr J and our cat, Monty.
We are a fifty-something couple who live on a smallholding in Carmarthenshire, Wales. We are going green and creating a gentler, cleaner and more healthy life for our family.
Having had a highly successful smallholding in Monmouthshire, we hope to recreate the abundance at our new home. There will be a large organic kitchen garden with no dig gardening raised beds and young food forest in which to grown our fruit and vegetables.
We keep a few sheep and Aylesbury ducks.

  1. Thanks for another great magazine type video. There are a couple of new faces in there for me to look out for and watch their other you tube content. Great job Liz.

  2. Lovely to see you out and about.

    Muito obrigada (thank you very much) for the brilliant info on this video.

    All the best! Always!

  3. Hi. Thank you for your videos! About rabbits – they LOVE clover. I saw on ‘Canadian Permaculture Legacy’ that he plants rows of clover and then the rabbits eat them instead of the plants you want to keep. Hope that helps.

  4. To prevent rabbits from going under the fence; why don't you level it and put in some pavement in the opening?

  5. Our ground is still frozen solid. Our high todaywill be 20 F, low of 0 F. I can't wait for March, we will still have freezes but the ground should be diggable. (Is that even a word?)

  6. Thank you Liz for this brilliant collaboration. Thoroughly made my morning after waking up not feeling very well.

  7. Hello Liz,

    Thank you for making your video's!
    I want to share with you what I did to stop the rabbits going in the garden through the gap under my gateway:
    I nailed a piece of fine metal chicken mesh/fence onto the outside of the gate. So that a piece of it (±25 cm ) is simply laying on the ground and also sticking out a bit to the left and right side of the gate.
    Not very pretty, but effective!

    Greetings,
    Monique

  8. Loving the collaborations Liz x
    Also, somewhat off topic, I noticed your handy 4 wheel barrow. I just got one last week and have used it loads already 💪🏼 No more heaving heavy tubs for me 🥳 love a handy gadget! I’m going to give one of those mini hoes a go too xx

  9. Hi liz i repurposed old red bricks putting down a flat layer on both sides of my garden gate. It works very good to keep rabbits out . In winter one of my bricks raises up with the freeze i step hard on it when its wet. But ths works great and looks gret. Good luck this year grom Kansas usa

  10. Fabulous collaboration Liz.Thank you and thanks to everyone who joined you.

  11. Wow, what a great video, chillies,beast,NETTLES( so much more than I knew already) ,great mulching Liz. I'm still planting late bulbs, think so many the same.I agree onion flower is beautiful , the smell is devine. Oh Niall,a mini hoe, a wee game changer,currently weeding galore ack at my plot. Must keep a eye out for one in the shops. Winter is a time to reflect,catch up on lots of indoor jobs,that make me feel good, I do sea swim and live winter swimming and cold showers more than summer. Those two really get what winter is about. Liz, thank you for crating a wonderful collaboration

  12. The importance of staking the trees on windy sites is to prevent root rock, which will set the tree back by decreasing root contact with the soil. It’s fine for the top part to bend in the wind (which, as you say, helps strengthen the tree) but staking and securing low to the ground gives them the best chance to establish well

  13. We love field beans as a 'cut and come again' windowsill microgreen salad crop. Much like broad bean tops in taste, super tender and a nice addition to any salad. Use them until they slow off in production or look too sorry to be appealing then dump the used compost with roots and all in your compost heap for a great nitrogen hit, some green material and a whole load of beneficial microbes to help your compost heap out. Give them a go, awesome stuff! 👍😁

  14. Thanks Liz, really enjoyed that! I have been inspired and am ordering one of those little hoes! I have a Hori hori knife which I love. I am looking for Field beans but not sure what to look for, I live in France. I can find Broad beans but not field beans. Would Broad Beans do?

  15. Those nettles looked unusual – the leaves looked rounder rather than long and triangular. Are there different kinds?
