Check out my latest video: Passive Greenhouse Feeds Family of 11 in Utah. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/nICAqneBmZmZumQ.html

Thanks for letting him talk without you interrupting. So many UKpostsrs try to make themselves the dominant person in their videos rather than the people they're interviewing. A great video!

These old heads need to do a podcast to reach the masses. I've been watching food growing videos for a while and this man cannot pass without sharing his knowledge. Almost like the back to Eden videos I'm glad that a new generation can benefit from Paul's wisdom.

My grandfather died in 2006, the property was lined with fruit trees around its perimeter, lemons and other citruses, white and black mulberries, various varieties of figs, peaches, grape vines, olive trees, some more exotic things like loquats and prickly pears, with a rose and flower bed out the front that my grandmother kept, and an enormous veggie patch lot with trench rows/raised beds he used to grow tomatoes, melons, squash, all kinds of herbs, beans, potatoes, cucumbers, enough to feed 30+ people easy year round. He had a huge chicken coop and multiple sheds, a huge wood fired oven, a green house, an outhouse. All completely wiped, levelled and stripped bare when the new owners moved in - every tree, every plant, every bit of life. Veggie garden turned to a great big lawn, a beautiful Mediterranean style paved alfresco area with citruses, grape vines, passionfruit vines and olive trees completely gone and turned into a raised wooden deck, and the fruit trees along the fence line ripped out and replaced with bog standard ferns and palms from a generic big box store. Why in the world would anyone do this? I get making a place your own, but to shred up every bit of character it had developed as a home for generations of people, with a history and a story told by its every feature, and replace it with a cardboard cutout from a home landscaping magazine is just insane to me. In many ways, it’s anti human, anti life. To replace something so vibrant, so homely, so abundant with something so sterile. Some people are just hellbent against conserving what comes before, it’s not right.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this amazing individual has created this extraordinary garden at 6000 feet in Colorado what an absolutely wonderful thing to do.

Crazy…he’s built his own farm single handedly. Super impressive.

Many years ago I decided to do the veggies thing, so I dug up the back end of my suburban garden & planted around 15 different veggies and covered the whole thing with a peat layer - that garden produced so much we had a lot of trouble figuring out how to eat it all. It was a wonderful year, but we moved the next year & gardening became something I was going to go back to one day. Now I'm 84 yrs old & living with a very small garden where not too much grows well, so veggies are out, except for a few tomatoes in pots ! What I do remember is the total happiness & pride growing those veggies gave me. You can see that natural joy in this guy & it shows how much we all need that connection ! Thank you for a lovely video & keep growing !

This is more important than what nations are at war, what people are being “short changed” or spoken about, this is more important than government and celebrities. God bless this man. Take that athlete energy and work the field for your food and needs. Love it❤.

It would be nice to know more about his well and water use.

Ive been working on starting something like this on an acre in the Colorado mountains at 7200 feet elevation but without a well or reliable water source. I’m in year 5 now. I’ve started collecting rainwater and have been adding a lot of woodchips which seems to be helping keep the ground moist and also improves the soil. Trees are finally getting established. I wish I could keep the animals off my plants and trees because they keep eating them back and then the growth has to start over again. I’ve been putting fence up but animals still find a way to get to the trees and eat them. I feel like I’m finally getting somewhere though and eventually want to start a UKposts channel to show what I’m doing here

Lance is living in paradise!

😁a garden talk show called “As The Worm Turns” 😆 Lance is a treasure ⭐️

Very impressive, growing one’s own grain on a small scale is probably one of the hardest accomplishments, in the western world almost no one does that, cool🎉

Wish he had talked about irrigation

THIS is gold! Love to see and hear the wisdom of the self-sufficient people.

Of all the videos like this I've seen this is probably one of, if not the, best. 40 years of hard work.

Pearl millet and other millets are perfect for desert climate. I am from India, and this grain is grown in the Rajasthan state in North west of India. which is a hot desert. but you need to soak the grains before cooking them.

This is exactly how we grew up back in Romania❤

That's amazing! We should all live our lives this way. Self-sufficiency defeats the powers that be who want to control us.

I hope this movement of permaculture and growing nature is going to manifest massively. We need it. Great content, thank you and Lance !

Hey, Lance! I was a beach bum in SC back in the day, too. I think you are a few years ahead of me - I didn't see you in my yearbook. I still live in the area. What an inspiration to restart my garden that I let go fallow a few years ago.

Brilliant!! This dear man's knowledge needs to be recorded.

and he’s doing it all by himself Impressive!

There is nothing better than seeing the fruits of the garden and sharing experiences. Very good video, I like it very much.

What an excellent video. Just a clear portrait of a person and his passion without a bunch of self promotion. Thank you!

Well done. We had a family relative who had a permaculture garden for years. He died unexpectedly and the new owners removed it all. Have plans in place to avoid this situation. All the best.

What no plastic mulch? so nice to see someone that knows how to grow, and so rare today🐸❤️thank you

The knowledge and experience this man has is truly impressive. Anyone who strives to be self-sufficient should definitely study and follow this man. Thank you for sharing this video.

Stephano thank you thank you for bringing this man and his wonderful 3 quarters of an acre property!!! He worked his whole life to have his little slice of heaven ☰ heaven ☰ ⚚ here on earth 🌎!!! Love peace and blessings be upon you and his homes my beautiful and wonderful spiritual brothers and sisters out there!!!❤

This is a wonderful interview. Lance is such a role model. I appreciate what he said about what it is that makes him tick, and how that translates to a productive farm. I'll watch this again for inspiration. The one thing missing was a tour of his kitchen and how he turns these plants into food. Maybe another interview for that.

Wow, he looks like he is in great health. This truly is inspiring, and kudos to his commitment.

You know a good garden when it stirs your appetite just walking through.

Hi Lance! Nothing has changed. You are still making your own bread & growing your own food. You are even more of a wealth of information. Loved making Sour Dough Bread with you & watching MASH together. I still call the end piece of the bread! Love you! Mona

this give me hope as look around the area it is dry and dead and look what this man has achieved a lush place that provides and heals!!! simply incredible!!

Never occurred to me that metal trellises might get too hot for the plants that climb on them.

I love how he just casually mentions growing one of the gnarliest psychedelics in existence at the beginning.

A most interesting gentleman still enthusiastically creating. Fascinating to watch and to listen to.

WOW, Thanks. L just saw a great waw to add to my property. WIND break. Here in New Mexico we do have strong winds and it is hard to grow with the high windy days. Thanks Ill start planting for a wind break. love what you have done. Stay safe. Semper Fi.

Life goals... we've been at it almost 10 years. Looking forward to learning and expanding more over the next few decades. Thanks for sharing this beautiful tour. I would love to hear hours more from him.

We are also in Colorado, not too far from Hutchkis but much higher 8700 feet in Lake City. Im trying to create a garden like this here as well. We have no soil even no clay, just rocks but in three years with hugelkulture beds I was able to produce lots if soil from scratch,so this problem is solved. I need to close it in from deer, posts are in already, and I believe that I'll be able to grow lots of food and decorative plants.

This man is worth solid gold.🎉❤

What a success story. An amazing gardening feat. I live in Australia on the east coast,and struggle with heat and humidity in the summer. Clay soil as well. Lots of insects that want to ruin my citrus trees, tomato's and so on. We have a bee problem now, not as many. I'm keeping this video as a guide, it's inspirational.

Do you miss the San Clemente sunsets, Lance? Your permaculture oasis is truly impressive. I am in my second year of vegetable gardening in San Clemente, and I have so much to learn. Our yard is basically neglected construction grade dirt over hard packed clay, but I see improvements in the soil and more insects and life all the time. Hearing how you built your garden in the middle of the desert is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your passion and experience with us.

Congratulations to this hardworking knowledgeable gentleman. I really admire what he does!😀

Wow! This is the kind of stuff. I love to watch.

I’m in the high desert of southern ca on 10 acres and have been starting my own garden. This gives me so much hope for what I have to come. Love this video, thank you for sharing!

Wow what a beautiful and productive garden! You can see the amount of knowledge and care put into this garden very inspirational

Love this guy. Perfect length film as well. Thanks!

Wow, what a paradise! It goes to show what bounty the earth provides with work and know-how.

Very nice garden. I live in the Central Oregon Cascades. Our soils are very sandy and hold very little water and nutrients. The other challenges I see is the extremes daily temperature swings and short warm growing season. We have 30 to 40 degree F daily temperature swings and can have temperatures drop to 30's any month of the growing season. If things were too easily it would not be so much fun. . I love the yarrow lawn (ground cover).

Wonderful work in the high desert. Happier and healthier whenever I can get some more info on regenerating soil for gardening above 6000 feet.

Wonderful garden! So many varieties of everything, seed saving, pollinators in the high desert, yarrow for "grass" paths, grains, and more. He is a wealth of information that I'd love to "glean" more from. Thank you for bringing him to us!

Thank you to you both!

Thanks for this lovely video. I had a farm for 22 years after I retired. It was an expression of love and exquisite labor. A wonderful experience.

Wish I could find someone like this in my area to befriend and learn from their experience. I want something like this and am working towards it, albeit with many mistakes along the way. Would be nice to have guidance. There are nuances like him saying not to use metal for vining plants that I did not know, but makes perfect sense. Love this stuff.

I love his perspective and approach so much

Exemplary and a great luxury with peacefully content lifestyle. All desert areas in the world must be used as this exemple.

Thank you for helping people

He is living the life

WOW! I love garden tours and how excited he his to talk about what he loves.😊

Hi Stefano, Loved the Greenhouse home and garden! Now the beautiful and abundant High Desert Garden, enjoy so much all the unusual varieties. Today is March 3 in south west Washington state and it has been snowing like no tomorrow. Thank you

Just fantastic! You are my hero sir, self sufficiency at it's finest. I would love to be able to do this myself, as a non-vegetarian it would take a few more acres to cover some livestock as well, but people like you are showing how the rest of us should be doing it! All the best to you and yours!

Good stuff, neighbor! Lance is an artist. I saw six seeds I NEED!

Wow, so impressive !! The soil also looks very good. Thank you for sharing 👍

Bio char would, reduce watering, also keep the the soil growing. I'm in southwestern Colorado too, this was awesome 💯😎

That was great such amazing farm he has thanks for interviewing

Wow! Pretty amazing garden and a very interesting gardener.

These guys are master's and we could all learn something from this group.

The best video i watched this year it is just what i wish for unfortunatly i have no money to buy a peice of land but watching this warm my heart nothing feels better than planting

❤ what a beautiful soul 💖. We can learn a lot from this

Spread this info. This man is a diamond, a gem, pure gold. Watched this whole video and came back to talk about how beautiful to the eye, this garden is.

Wow such a great example of how beautiful our deserts could look!

Living the dream of many... Brilliant!!!

DO it and OBSERVE. Hope we can all endure as Lance has. Love this Mans resolution

Wow! Such an amazing garden! Thanks for this inspiring video!

I want to do this with my high desert ranch , in Texas.... This is PERFECTION! 👏 👏 ✌️🤠

The yarrow is a wonderful tip! I wondered if I should let mine self seed and this answers the question! Lilac and yarrow both survive beautifully here in colorado!

God bless this man, everyone can be a farmer, and grow our own food, we just need a calling to actually gets our hands dirty.

Yes sir now this is living 🙌 👏 👌

I wish you had talked about how it is irrigated.

Very nice, but what does he use as his water source? Genuinely curious.

Absolutely incredible garden! I love this! And, that yarrow lawn; amazing!!

this man is living my dream

Wow what a blessed garden

I would love love love to do something like this, an oasis for the animals, bees and birds (and people) but being 57 and living on the East coast it's obviously not feasible so I'll cheer you on from the sidelines. ❤🌳🌱🌿

Fantastic presentation. Thank you.

impressive! I love he grows 95 percent of his food - that is my goal!!

Such knowledge from practice! I hope locals and their children can tour and learn from this gentleman!

Thank you Lance, I love it!!! Starting my journey as well and good to be guided and inspired by some of your wisdom and experience here. Truly grateful.

Another Amazing, talented person

Just breathtaking 😍 you live in paradise ✨️

I live in Colorado and that is amazing!

God Bless You!!! Dang I wish I could come help you work and learn from you! Enjoy this coming season! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Im with others on this one , this guy has some awesome knowledge to pass on to the next generation . Im not that sure he knows how good he is ? Great work Lance.

Totally awesome! This is a dream of mine and I am so happy someone is living it.!

Awesome garden!

An amazing way to live ❤

I absolutely love it, what a tremendous garden and way of life!

Desert off gridders really inspire me to agroforest farm my land. I love forests so, farming is a tad different. I bring deep clay to surface and them dump organic dead matter on top to get more nutrients available for insects and worms 😊

So inspirational, thank you! Perhaps you can do a video on seed saving.
