I am doing most of this now. Permaculture gardening uses these techniques. I do not spend more to garden than it would cost in a store, that is one of my rules. To really make a garden pay out you need an affordable manure source. After one year of having chickens my garden's yields
is a third greater. Something very satisfying about throwing excess food stuffs to chickens and saying, "Here, make eggs out of this please." Lol.

1. Living wall
2.coppice
3. Raised beds
4. Dung heap
5. Pigeon dung… is chicken dung equal?
6. Wood ashe , marle, would sheet rock scrap be equal?
7. Dense organized plantings, not row planting
8. Plants that produce edible leaves, and later the harvest
9. Breeding program. Best was saved to set seed, so seeds have adapted to your own location
10. Heat from dung heap, place unfermented waste deep in a frame to create heat for cool weather growing
11. Drought,, use thumb pot, like modern drip
12. Grafting
13. Grazing poultry in orchard, stacking, each orchard provides 3 different harvests
14. Clamp = natural root cellar
15. Bees, pollinators and producers
Lovely video!  Thank you!

PSA This video is suspicious. Some red flags:

1) The poster of these videos does not actually show himself in video format– only in thumbnails where each iteration is inconsistent.

2) Citations are either nowhere to be found or entirely made up. There does not appear to be anyone named John Gardener who wrote a gardening manual in 1440; if there is, no proper citation is given.

3) Images at 14:41 are claimed to be from a medieval manuscript but are both clearly AI generated. This can be seen from the muddy and inconsistent details in both images.

4) 15 list items are not clearly articulated or reiterated, giving the impression that the author retroactively created 15 bullet points to fit a generated script.

TL;DR There is a high likelihood that this video is at least partially AI-generated content.

The photo at 19:42 is an old one from Home Acres of Charles Dowding. For those interested, do check out his channel on no-dig gardening, with some methods mentioned here being applied in hist professional market garden.

As I watch this, I find myself envisioning our society choosing these gardens & methods  over thousands of data centers for our future.

16:30 About that orchard/stacking section:
Geese are vegetarians; they don’t generally eat “bugs”. For that you need to have ducks, chickens, and/or guinea fowl.

Chickens tear up the ground, guineas make horrible noise and stay semi-wild and harder to control & contain. I like ducks. (though I keep—and love—chickens, quail and geese as well.) Khaki Campbell and layer hybrid ducks will lay more, bigger, and better eggs than any chicken—great for baking. Temporary movable fences allow you to let them into different sections of the garden at times when they won’t destroy crops.

I’d add a couple more techniques, too.
Rabbits can be raised for meat in a tiny space, and produce large quantities of fertilizer that can be put straight onto beds without composting, the way nitrogen-rich bird manure needs to be to prevent burning the crops. I’m a vegetarian, too, so I raise Angora rabbits for wool and manure. (Domesticated about 1500 AD in Europe, about the same time as the video is about.) Quail and rabbit droppings and feed waste fall through the bottoms of their cages, onto a half-tube of rhizome barrier I think of as “bamboozler”. It slopes down to a bucket; I periodically wash off the tube by dumping waste water onto the top, and have caught more rats & mice in that bucket than all the other traps I’ve tried, combined. (They go for the feed in the tube and do a slip-and-fall, can’t get out of the bucket.) More compost.

I’m currently raising 2 Wyandotte chicken chicks; with Buckeyes and Brahmas they have a reputation for being strongly anti-mouse so they’ll go after them.

A great post-harvest cover crop is nitrogen-fixing, rabbit-feeding alfalfa. (Next step: silkworms raised on mulberry leaves; the fruit and leaves also feed the birds and I.) And as long as you’re raising little creatures, keep a worm bin and a colony each of black soldier flies and mealworms. The quail, rabbits,  worms, and insects could even be kept in a barn or garage.

Blue orchard mason bees are great, too. A block of wood with 5/16” or ~8mm holes drilled partway through, 6” deep, mounted so the holes anre horizontal invites these solitary bees to move in. Won’t sting, provide no honey but work earlier in spring and in cooler, wetter weather than honeybees so they’re a good complement to honeybees who cost nothing but a half hour a year.

“You don’t have a slug problem; you have a duck deficit.” Bill Mollison

The look of this garden is so enchanting

Other changes: people don't work every daylight hour on their land anymore. People didn't depend entirely on what they grew. They kept chickens and pigs and often grazed a cow on public land. The climate was different in Britain then, and different in Britain than in many of the various climates in the US. Only people in a mild climate, who have the whole family or religious community available to work full-time on the land and managing the animals can live this lifestyle.

We have been doing most of these in our 1/4 acre garden for 26 years. We have had to adapt some to our climate & soils, but they are the same in essence. We didn’t know they were medieval - we have been following the practices of preWWII farmers ☺️

They told me stay indoors during lockdown . . . . . so I started gardening and growing food . . . . . . outdoors :)
It really is a complicated art form if you want large consistent harvests
And it's a giant rabbit hole hence how I ended up on this video and . . . . . . . composting, foraging, hunting, brewing, canning, jam making etc, etc, etc

Most of these methods are widely known and used by gardeners today. Grafting a lost Medieval method? All apple trees are grafted! I did find interesting the story of how peasants kept pigeons for their manure at no cost, because they flew out and fed on the farmers' grain.

‘Hot beds’ are making a come back here in the UK.

Dowding has ditched edging to his beds, which is simpler and gives less harbour to slugs, but I imagine the wattle sides would give some wind protection. Fleeces and meshes to retain heat and keep out pests are handy, but they need to be recyclable.

Retired and bought our first home, despite gardening where we were all those years living in the house that came with the job.   Doing about half of these on our half acre already.  We started the compost heaps even before we got the inside all livable, while we were sleeping on the kitchen floor as it was the only clean and finished floor.  
Keep on with the videos, it's a delight, and a reminder worth hearing.

Great video. I hired some help this year to get the raised beds in our neglected garden cleared. Now densely planted, including companion plants, with our own compost, rainwater butts, worm tea, and nettle tea. What I had not expected was the huge satisfaction of coming out for watering duty every  day during the heat waves, and seeing our vegetables thriving. Cooking with them, too. I can remember my father clamping potatoes and root veggies on the farm. Very effective.

This educational video needs much more views.
Home school parents, where are you?

Wonderful ideas for money-saving gardening. I'm always low on stakes but have some hazelnut shrubs nearby. I will try cutting some parts down to get the straight poles I need.

The previous video mentioned "biochar."  It's simply ground-up charcoal.  Add that to your garden and the soil holds onto moisture and nutrients.  The Aztecs did that and so were able to grow crops in the desert.  Don't take my word for it, I invite you to research it.

BTW:  I appreciate the thatch holding up the raised beds.  I was getting ready to buy molds over the Internet to fabricate concrete sides.

Amazing video thanks!
