Chop and Drop: Tree Cleanup & Permaculture Garden Update

Cleaning up after a tree fell on the garden, then using chop-and-drop mulching to build soil fertility. The tree came down across the grapes and potatoes, but we got it cleared and turned it into an opportunity to expand the growing area. What started as storm cleanup turned into a full garden walkthrough: cutting up the fallen tree, rescuing the squash bed, chop-and-drop around the kale and chickpeas, checking on the sunflowers and terraces, and a tour of the herb plantings, onions, Roman chamomile, lovage, and dill. This is what permaculture looks like in practice: the weeds aren't waste, they're fertility. Cut them, drop them, let them feed the soil. Between chop-and-drop, compost, and running the chickens and ducks through in the off season, we can grow food here indefinitely without buying inputs. 00:00:00 Tree Down, Chainsaw Time 00:00:10 Assessing the Damage 00:00:28 Chipmunks and Fence Lines 00:01:32 Squash, Wheat, and Sunflowers Under the Fallen Tree 00:02:08 Chainsaw Work
