Papaya Circles - John Kaisner The Natural Farmer

Thank you so much for this video. I am currently working on a project to plant 100 papaya trees on our property and this is very helpful!

Yay! 'Say no more'....fantastic work! No chemicals, no artificial fertilisers...simple, easy way to work with Mother Nature and learn from her. It's fantastic to listen to people who think a like - thank you so much for sharing, it's greatly appreciated :-) - Heli.

Like many of the friends I also have no good feelings about weeds which are considered a curse in gardening.However, you have really changed my notion of weeds, & it is a blessing for me, otherwise I would have continued the age old practice of weeding & burning. Thank you for your thought provoking summary on papaya circle.

I have very sandy soil. I often pull weeds primarily to have material for the compost pile! Thanks for extolling the value of weeds!

Recognizing the benefits of weeds in the garden has completely changed my relationship to gardening. Thank you for mentioning!

So great to see this video!! Youve done a brilliant job. Kept it simple, informative and educative...An affirmation that im on the right track...we have very poor clay soil with rocks....most think im quite crazy because i use weeds and pits...great harvest of papaya, pineapples and banana...zero chemicals... we're in south Goa.

The BEST planting video I ever seen before. Thank you

Wow, I love this approach to utilizing weeds in pits to feed plants, conserve water, and improve soil. I also laughed at your comment that “everything around here is eating everything... it’s the tropics”. I totally get that! Here in Liberia, the cultural logic is to plant papaya, banana, and plantains on old trash pits. The thinking is that as their refuse breaks down, the plants above are fed. Unfortunately, their trash also includes lots of bad waste! I will definitely be incorporating this concept in my development projects! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! We're growing papayas in North Texas for the first time, and I learned a lot from your video. Will definitely do a papaya circle next year!

Just wanted to let you know ...you teach permaculture practically the most easiest way... Sometimes the whole concept of permaculture gets overwhelming.. But after watching your videos ..the nerves really calm down.. and we can grow slowly and steadily and abundantly happy

Great video. Weeds have been my #1 fertilizer for years. Love seeing the use of what you have rather than bringing in outside materials.

Thank you so much for your prompt and satisfying reply. Saw the videos you had suggested. Very informative . Really amazing to see bananas so closely packed. True as you say mother nature has her own design!

Great video. It is Dec 3 2017 Today. I am planting just over 100 papayas here in Ontario Canada. The seeds were placed in my hydroponics bed on Oct 13, 2017 and they are about two inches tall. Going from hydroponics to soil can be tricky since you first have to move them to pots, then outside so the roots get disturbed. I really like the circle method you have shown and I'm going to implement it in the field. You have taken a lot of time and care to make these wonderful videos. The audio is great and video is excellent. Thank you so much. Seeds I am using are Indian Dwarf from Sri Lanka

Thank you for such an enlightening upload. I value your advice and your methods. Just they way I like to try and grow things.

Excellent, great knowledge 👍

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of sustainable farming, very helpful! Stay healthy and safe. :)

Awwesomeness, thank you. More great ideas to extend what I had already started. Loving it!!

So grateful for all your videos. Wonderfully educational material. Thanks for all the effort that you go to to make and share this content.

Thank you for your work, I will try this method in our sand florida soil

Thanks a lot for this video, im watching from South Florida, lots to learn.
