Conservationist, plant addict & off-grid gardener answers your questions

Today we are answering a bunch of the questions that have been sent to us by you, the internet in the past months in a marathon Q&A session! From soil to plants to animals, our dogs, diseases, watering regimes and rainfall, plant behaviour to the realities of living in the forest, we share with you our unfiltered and candid experiences and observations.

have you considered packing it all in to live in the wilderness? Do you dream of growing your own food. Are you passionate about protecting biodiversity? If so then maybe this is a good video for you, because it offers a very honest and forthright perspective of our reality. And if you have any more questions, leave them in the comments below and we will start compiling them to make another video just like this!
