lovely. Are you referring to a public tour?
I loved watching the leapfrog comfrey planting 😉
Sorry, you lost me at ‘climate crisis.’ It’s so sad to see people sucked in by that fraud.
A different take on comfrey as root barrier to grass. I prefer to increase the diversity of native plant species (mostly from seed) on my site, rather than add more comfrey clones. (I have over a dozen comfrey plants–that's plenty.) I keep the grass out out of my beds with logs, rocks, and by reusing old pavers, bricks, etc. that I pick up through my local "Buy Nothing" group.
You could always make a new handle for that small hand-shovel, tool repair & restoration is a vital skill set to have and one of the reasons behind fastnacht day (you'd spend the day servicing your tools in preparation for the new year while relaxing eating fastnachts). You'd be surprised how much easier it is to use gardening tools that have been sharpened, polished, and kept rust-free year after year.
Enjoyed it. I prefer the videos that are only about plants, no political commentary. I'm just starting my food forest (starting over yet again), and plants are so expensive, so it's encouraging to see how I can propagate from what I have over time. This year I've grown a bunch of comfrey from seed, so am planting it around my fruit trees now. Also scrounging wild strawberry plants that were here when I bought the place, clustered around a rain gutter downspout. I, too, like to use them as ground cover everywhere. Although lilacs are not food, I have old lilac bushes that are sending up a ton of new plants from the roots, so they will help create a hedgerow along the road until I can buy hazelnut and rugosa roses and etc. I got a volunteer black locust tree this spring, too, so there's a nitrogen fixer. Love it all.
I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve taught us. I’m on a small suburban lot ( <1/3 acre ) for now. Moving to 40+ acres sometime in the next few years. We’ve got Apple, pear, mulberry, fig, pawpaw and Saskatoon trees. Last year I put in some comfrey and wine cap mushrooms. The wine caps are coming up everywhere! I am so excited! I also just added five Haskap bushes, 3 native filberts and 3 sea buckthorn trees. I plan to use all of these to propagate enough to get us started on the larger property. Blessings to you and your family!
Cool idea with the comfrey on the edge. I've been using day Lillies to do the same kind of thing. It makes it where I can mow right up next to the beds.
Great video. Off topic, but I just bought some ceder trees about 2 1/2 feet high. Can I plant them now? Or when is the best time?
Have you found that when you dig to plant stuff on the inner part of those beds that comfrey comes up in there? I'm wondering about long term if it will keep keep filling in all the spaces inside the bed too as you plant more and more

Hi:) I am from Norway and I have followed your channel for a few years now. I love it! Thank you!
I started my little food forest 3 years ago and you have been giving me a lot of inspiration, knowledge and motivation.
In this video you say that "not all daylilies are edible". I have two varieties of daylilies (one yellow and one orange) that were already in the garden when I bought the place, both are edible and taste good. Last year I got some hybrid hemerocallis. I did google "Hemerocallis" and was told: "As long as you have correctly identified a plant as a Hemerocallis, you can eat it"..
Do you know if there are any daylilies (Hemerocallis) that are dangerous (poisonous) to eat?, or do you think it is safe to taste my new hemerocallis hybrids? ..and see if I get any reactions before I eat more of them, (if they taste bad or are poisonous I don't want them in my food forest).
Keep on making the world a better place! Respectfully, Kjetil.
Can you elaborate on why you are stopping the spread of grass? Is it a visual or functional reason? Is it the particular type of grass? I ask, because I am out here in SW United States (arid, high elevation). And I was starting to seed water-wise native grasses just outside of my beginning food forest (for mulch, ground cover, bio-diversity, and visual appeal). So I am wondering whether I need to be aware of potential problems with my productive systems?
Great information as usual, thanks!
WOULD COMFREY PREVENT MOLES FROM PASSING INTO A BED ?
Now that a few weeks passed by since your "revolutions videos", i have to tell i really simpathyze with you, your personality, your atitude, your home gardens, your videos. The fact with diverge on "social beliefs" dosent matter a bit. And it should be like that…the fact that usually it isnt its abnormal, a consequence of this online/msm conflit based life we are all living this days. Keep up great work.
Great video! Last fall I separated my iris and used many of the heritage plants as markers for the pathways through my food forest. I am happy to say that they have all survived and are growing well. I also have an unlimited supply of the Orangeman's or Ditch orange lilies and have separated my yard from one of our woodlots with them. I will continue to make more edges this year as time allows. We will likely spread them along the fencelines. Many plants and shrubs are so easy to propagate to create beauty, food, and habitat, so I hope many of your subscribers will follow your example. Perhaps I'll get some photos to your Facebook site this spring and summer.
Awesome video, never knew this, I did just recently learn comfrey is eatable!
I have a trial that looks exactly like that Anya people ask me want to buy a new trail cause honestly I wish I was better but I’m not averse to buying stuff but I’m still like yeah but it still works
