  1. You can also add the mushrooms that are not eatable to your compost pile I add at least 5 5 gal. buckets to my compost every year. every time it rains they pop up in a wooded area I have that I covered with wood chips.

  2. in small gardens you also have the option of training fruit trees and edible climbers (such as kiwi, squash, beans ) on walls and trellis , lot of tubers have climbing stems , apios , dioscorea yams , mashua , etc

  3. Love the 18 day compost. I do pretty small ones compared to yalls. I have extra now. How do I store it? Just in a pile covered up? Garbage can wiyj or without whole? Thank y'all for instructions. Blessings, julie

  4. Saw one gardener who loves squash so on his small property he placed fencing panels up one side of his shed so the squashes could climb and sit and ripen on the shed roof to save space.

  5. This is a great video and reminded me of growing up, well as in that we were renters and my mama always grew her tomatoes in 5 gal paint buckets and whatever else she wanted. We took those buckets with us every time we moved. 😊 Thanks for taking the time to share and God bless!

  6. So cool! Thank you for that! Just so you know in some cases the HOA doesn't let you plant whatever you want which sucks. I don't like hoa to tell me what I can plant or not on my property.β€πŸ€—β€οΈ

  7. We started out just planting trees & a set garden area. Now we've got comfrey everywhere & supportive smaller plants growing under those trees & realized it doesn't have to be a perfect row or set area just grow what you can where you can. Blessed to have found you & many other homestead channels. Thanks, Billy, Michelle, & William

  8. I moved from a small backyard to 4 acres. This is all great advice. My land was heavily farmed and then planted in pines. When we got here it was thick briars. Clearing it all by hand and planting. Getting rid of the briars and weeds is tough. Any advice? Love your channel and your podcast, never miss an episode! Tip a PIMP!

  9. In my old yard, I had a garden that was 10×6 feet, 60 square feet. In that 60 square feet, I grew multiple peppers, tomatoes, spinich, lettuce, cantalope, strawberries, pease, beans, and a few various other non food plants. Size is not a limitation when growing food.

  10. Great video, Billy! I've got acreage, but I've also got a few small wooded areas that I could convert into food forest "zones". Thanks for the inspiration and ideas!

  11. You are so correct! Anyone can get lots of food out of a small area. Potatoes, tomatoes,peppers, green beans, peas, carrots and so much more!!! You should look up David the Good's book —Grocery row gardening. You can scale your food forest in to small spaces and have fruit trees and your annuals in one space. Listen and learn, there are ways to do it!! Just try now and get your food forest growing. I'm 70 years old and learn something new every day. Just get out and listen, learn and give it a try. For the first time ever there are chickens in our back yard. Nine lovely ladies that provide about 7 eggs a day. We are giving eggs away and they are eating the cucumbers I didn't have time to pickle and making compost. God bless y'all and get growing!!!
