Hello again everyone welcome back to our final episode of this week with James

Prigoni from the gardening channel with James Prigoni so it dude it's been fun to have you on. I'm curious sort of as you look back on your nine plus years of

perennial growing of permaculture growing of your food forest and of your recent stuff with raised beds, you know, what are some of those huge

takeaways that if someone was gardening for their very first year in 2020, which I think a lot

of people were, that they would take away and get a lot out of if they use in their garden.

I think I guess one of them would be think of everything from a perennial mindset and with a multi-year perspective even if you're just growing annuals because

everything accumulates is one thing that I like to say so your knowledge

accumulates too but also your soil can accumulate.

So you want to focus on building good soil,

even if you want to bring in some compost or something.

You want to think, even if it's an annual,

three years down the road, four years down the road,

because everything is going to add up, so that's

one of the reasons that I love, the idea of journaling too, because you take a couple of years

of what you learned and then it really adds, it comes together. but if it is your first year and you

don't have the ability to journal I think it's good to get a book or hop online

and just find some good information from someone that you trust and

someone that's doing it already and maybe doing it in a similar situation as you.

Yeah, yeah totally man. What are some things that you do like you're saying when you buy a fruit tree right you're

not buying it you're investing in the future of of your orchard are there some

other tasks or maybe even things that that you invest in that pay you off one month one year down the road?

Yeah I would say compost or beginning some good compost. It's going to cost you a little bit
