Hey folks.
This year I am learning more about Permaculture with the Teacher of Teachers, Geoff Lawton.
I will be doing his 2026 Online PDC course which is open for enrollments now (from 26th May until August).

Thanks Weedy for your beautiful videos! Also some advice from a real Kraut( I’m German): the apple seeds have even more pectin (also citrus fruit pips etc), my grandmother put them in a muslin cloth and boiled them with the fruit. Caraway seeds in your Sauerkraut are not just for flavour, but also help with digestion ( you don’t get so gassy!)😉😘

You are the Bob Ross of gardening! You are a joy to learn from ☺️

Ever had a giggle over the use by date on Himalayan Salt David?  Supposedly million year old salt needs a use by date. 😂🤣

U and Geoff Lawton are a ray on wisdom in this noisey world….I’m living in a concrete jungle and working the 9-5 zombie grind and can’t wait for the day I can start my on off grid permaculture homestead

Hi Weedy… Fantastic! Learning lots 🙏🙏🙏

Weedy, please be careful when pouring hot water into glass jars. I boil jars on the strove starting with cold water to sterilise.
When glass changes temperature rapidly there’s a possibility that it can shatter. Glad this hasn’t happened to you but is something to keep in mind.
Amazing videos though! You are such an inspiration.

My mother taught me to use oven to sterilise jars and lids and keep them hot til being filled😊

Sauerkraut for me is much less hassle somehow :) I salt and massage it for 1-2 minutes and then let it rest for half an hour or so.  At that point, I massage it again, within a few minutes all the juices have come out and it's ready to jar.  I use 2% salt ratio, no LAB starter.  Careful with the hot water, I would say, as it will kill off any bacteria... If you need more liquid, it's probably better to use a brine of the same percentage.  But that's how I do it, not the only way of course :)

The rocks are genius!!!!!

I’m convinced I’ve found the modern day Gandalf the Grey! Your knowledge is mind blowing for me, even as simple as it may be lol. My boyfriend found your videos and now we watch them together! Thank you for everything you’ve taught us thus far and for what is yet to come

Hello Mr Weedy, I'm Jo from AUS. A video of yours recently found its way to me and I'm very grateful it did! I've since watched more and I've learned so much from you in only a few days. I LOVE the way you edit and film, and the way you teach. I want to spend the rest of my life growing food and I hope to study with Geoff very soon... Thank you for sharing your garden and your journey with us. Your relationship with nature is beautiful to watch and listen to. I'm currently in Sydney but looking forward to getting back to nature again in the near future... Peace, Love, Drop and Chop. Jo 🌻

Thank you so much for your big hearted approach to the garden, kitchen and self sufficiency. You make me smile every video. ❤

I found that once you start treating your microbes right, you don’t want to go back to processed foods. It just doesn’t feel the same. I love fermented foods.

What a rocking video 😜 thank you!

🥰Thanks for your energy and your creativ and calm way to introduce your garden to us. My grannys weren't thus great gardeners but a neighbour was. When we where making Sauerkraut she always told me: If you have to put water then you didn't squeeze the Kraut enough. The Kraut likes to be treated hard.🤣 Every year I remember this since beginning to make my own Sauerkraut as an adult. And it makes my arms hurt every harvesting season.

that kruat nail hole with the tape is genius, genius!

2:08 That editing was absolutely fantastic hehe. Well done. I like watching your channel because your positivity is contagious. Cheers.

Thank you Weedy 🙏

❤love the energy. It makes me miss my mom. Who was a most awesome weedy gardener and orchard BOSS. She taught me how to do all things homesteading. I’ll never forget the weeds above her head , coming out of the garden holding a huge squash yelling out’ EREKA . A huge smile on her face. ❤
Thanks for stirring  memories. 🙏🏻
