Want to pay for an hour long comprehensive permaculture course on guilds? How about instead I make the content available to everyone for free?

I was hesitant on making this video, because a big misconception is that we need certain combinations of plants to work optimally. I hopefully shatter that misconception here.

Instead, the proper approach is to learn which plants you have available, in which plant functions, and then stitch them together. So in this video we spend time teaching the various plant functions. Then we go and tour some guilds I have set up on my property.

Let's get going!

The most comprehensive guide on permaculture guilds in the history of humankind. future historians will look back on this video to rebuild a shattered society. that is, unless you get started today, reforesting your little square of the planet, and building your own edible food forest paradise.

As promised here is some research showing nutrient analysis for various liquid manures, done by the Department of Environmental Sciences & Technology, Chinhoyi, University of Technology, Zimbabwe:

What this paper shows is the tremendous nutrient value of comfrey leaves. Additionally it analyses some others. As another example, pigweed, also known as Amaranth, is rather high in phosphorous. Since plants want nitrogen when growing leaves and phosphorous when fruiting, a smart gardener could use a comfrey tea in the beginning of a season to promote large leafy growth, and an amaranth tea just before fruiting, to promote large fruit and veg. How to make those? I have a video on that also! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw7FuUvxXd0
