In this video, I cut down an unsafe tree located in Zone 2 of the property to improve safety, access, and long-term management of the space. Zone 2 is an area that gets regular attention in a permaculture system, so keeping it functional and safe is important for daily use. I walk through the process of evaluating the tree, planning the cut, and safely bringing it down while working around the surrounding garden environment. Whether you're managing a homestead, food forest, or backyard permaculture setup, tree maintenance is part of responsible land stewardship.

That didn't go entirely as planned, until I applied brute force.

Flame weeding allows for fast, chemical-free weed control—perfect for maintaining productive growing spaces while staying aligned with permaculture principles. After clearing the beds, I walk through how and why I up-pot plants to encourage deeper root systems and more resilient growth. While Zone 5 in permaculture is often about observation and letting nature take its course, the garden itself requires intentional intervention. This video highlights that balance—working with nature while still taking action where it counts. If you're building a resilient food system, experimenting with permaculture, or just trying to grow better plants, this is part of the journey. 🌱 Follow along with Apocalypse Gardens for more real-world gardening, experimentation, and practical self-reliance. #ApocalypseGardens #permaculture #flameweeding #gardening #homestead
Resetting Beds with Fire & Growing Stronger Plants
Website: https://apocalypsegardens.com Social Media: https://apocalypsegardens.com/elsewhere/ In this second episode of the Permaculture Zone 5 exploration series, we visit Double Lake Recreation Area in Sam Houston National Forest to observe nature in a less-managed environment and see what lessons wild spaces can teach us. After my previous Zone 5 visit to Cagle Recreation Area in February, this trip continues the journey of studying ecosystems, natural patterns, plant succession, wildlife habitat, water flow, and forest resilience. These natural areas can offer valuable insights for gardeners, homesteaders, and anyone interested in permaculture design. Join me as I walk through Double Lake Park, enjoy the scenery, and reflect on how observing unmanaged or lightly managed landscapes can improve our own growing spaces.

In this video, we plant potatoes and discuss simple techniques that can help you grow a productive crop in your own garden. From preparing the soil and choosing seed potatoes to proper spacing and planting depth, these basic steps can make a big difference in your harvest. Potatoes are known for being a hardy and reliable crop. With loose soil, good drainage, and adequate sunlight, they can produce an impressive yield even in relatively small garden spaces. Many gardeners appreciate potatoes because they are easy to grow and store well after harvest. During planting, we focus on proper spacing and soil preparation to encourage strong root and tuber development. Hilling the soil as the plants grow is another important step that helps protect developing potatoes and improves yields. With a little care throughout the growing season, potatoes can provide a dependable harvest for your pantry. Potatoes are also a great crop for gardeners interested in food security and self-reliance. A relatively small planting area can produce a large amount of food, making them a valuable addition to any home garden. At the end of the video, we take a brief look at the history of potatoes and their impact on agriculture around the world. The potato played a major role in feeding populations across Europe and became especially important in Ireland, where it once served as a staple food for much of the population. Whether you're planting potatoes for the first time or adding them to your yearly garden rotation, this video will walk you through the basics of getting them in the ground and growing successfully.
