This is the whole reason I garden! I challenge you to take the time to watch this video. I guarantee you will learn A LOT about gardening for the Master! "Back to Eden" is a very eye opening video in many areas. I could sit here and try to tell you everything that you can learn but I would not do Paul justice! I had a fellow blogger send me this link and inform to me of this video ( Online Video to Back to Eden.)
If you are trying to be a sustainable person and trying to get away from all the craziness of life, watch and learn. I had to watch it twice already! You will learn so much! You can even use it in raised beds. I just need to stop and you need to watch, don't I? Wait until you have a little over a hour and a half, make a cup of coffee and learn! Please let me know your thoughts when you finish watching the video.
After years of back-breaking toil in ground ravaged by the effects of
man-made growing systems, Paul Gautschi has discovered a taste of what
God intended for mankind in the garden of Eden. Some of the vital issues
facing agriculture today include soil preparation, fertilization,
irrigation, weed control, pest control, crop rotation, and PH issues.
None of these issues exist in the unaltered state of nature or in Paul’s
gardens and orchards.
“Back to Eden” invites you to take a walk with Paul as he teaches you sustainable organic growing methods that are capable of being implemented in diverse climates around the world.

BACK TO EDEN shares the story of one man’s lifelong journey, walking
with God and learning how to get back to the simple, productive methods
of sustainable provision that were given to man in the garden of Eden.
The organic growing system that has resulted from Paul Gautschi’s
incredible experiences has garnered the interest of visitors from around
the world. However, never until now have Paul’s methods been documented
and shared like this!

ReplyDeleteYes I am, just got back from shopping with my 12 year old daughter, now off to my brothers!
DeleteI have hear so much about this video that I really need to take the time and watch it myself. Thanks for taking the time to post the link.
ReplyDeleteThank you also for the kind comments on my blog. Most people think we are *odd* for doing such things when it is too easy to go to a store and buy it.
It may be easier but it's definately not better ;- )
Have a wonderful weekend in THE LORD!
Amanda
Matthew 6:33
You are welcome Amanda, yes it is a great video in many ways! As fare as for gardening, it is a great time to spend with our Lord, You have a blessed day and come back!
DeleteI started to watch your movie but have way too much to do on our Lil' Suburban Homestead right now to watch it through and we are going to finish it tonight! My husband was also looking over my shoulder we can tell you have led a fascinating life and look forward to finishing the movie. Thanks again for linking up to "The Ole' Saturday Homesteading Trading Post" blog hop!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to watch it all the way through! And thank you for stopping by, I hope you do more often!
DeleteWill you be using this method on your garden or have you already tried it? I'm very curious to hear how it works for others and any challenges they have implementing it. I'm amazed at how difficult it is for me to find wood chips in my area although I'm using my own chipper and trying to make some of my own. I just need lots more.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try it Amy, My raised beds are next to the railroad track and it is really rocky. I think I will take part of the area and start using this method. There is a place down the road I can get all the free chips I want. As fare as for you finding wood, he gives you lots of tips on were to find the wood, so watch and the video helps a lot.
DeleteWe started watching this and will finish watching it tonight! I can tell you have led a fascinating life....my husband and I are both looking forward to it! Thanks for linking up to "The Ole' Saturday Homesteading Trading Post"!
ReplyDeletePop some popcorn and have movie night!
DeleteThank you for the share. I have heard about the movie, but never actually watched it. Planning to now!
ReplyDeleteIts a good one. I really enjoyed the whole concept. I will be trying it and all the scripture!
DeleteThanks for stopping by earlier and this video looks really interesting. We are expanding our garden this year, so i look forward to coming back and watching. Thanks for posting it
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome,I really enjoy the talent God has blessed you with!
DeleteI love the focus on God in this video. Fabulous. I haven't had a chance to finish viewing but will make sure to find time soon!
ReplyDeleteI do as well! It amazes me that he took a field of rock so hard and made that beautiful garden!
DeleteYour enthusiasm for this video has gotten to me, Im going to watch it when Im done leaving you this comment. Thank you for the recommendation. Be well.
ReplyDeleteI really hope you enjoy it as much as I did! And if you haven't don't forget to enter the give away.
DeleteDear Clint, I've just watched this two times through... WOW!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. I' ve been gardening for over 25 years now and this is just the best thing I've ever seen on growing anything. Thank you... I"ll be sharing this on my blog today!
I am gonna try it in my little raised beds. We will see how it works!
DeleteI'm going to try it in my raised beds too. I'm building them right on top of grass and sandy soil.Perfect! I write for MaryJanesFarm ( an organic lifestyle magazine) and I'm making mention of you and " Back to Eden " in this weekends post. I'll send you the link when I publish this Friday! Thanks again Clint for sharing all you do here on your blog! I'm so glad you decided to start blogging!
DeleteThank you so much Deborah. While it seems like the more I learn about both subjects I try to touch on here, the more I don't really know about them. lol! I just try to share the little bit I do know and hope it can be a help. Thank you so much, I am honored to have you mention my blog. And can't wait.
DeleteOff the subject, I figured up yesterday how much cost I have in one 4'x8'x18" bed, one 4'x4'x18" bed and two 30"x6'x18" Beds, counting the screws and Lumber. I only have $40.00 in them all. My wife and I looked online an saw a kit that was a 4'x8'x17" kit bed for $378.00. My point is be frugal!
We live in the same community as Paul and his method has intrigued us. This past year we were happy to use some wood chips that a landscaper gathered from pruning jobs. We created a new space in our yard separate from the veggie garden to be our squash patch. We put down several layers of newspaper and 3-4 inches of wood chips and then planted our squash. The few weeds that came through the chips pulled easily and the squash did fabulous. Watering was minimal and the harvest was plentiful. I would recommend giving it a try--just don't till the wood chips into the soil.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the testimony! I will be trying it out!
DeleteI just watched this with my sister tonight and we were both super impressed. As I think you know, I'm hoping to start a community garden and at our first committee meeting next week I plan on strongly suggesting we develop our garden in this fashion. I am so excited to get out there and try it!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see and hear how your community garden does. Please, share with use the process you have went through to get it started.
DeleteThis was such a good documentary, I bought it and have seen it about 3 times. Love the focus on scripture and how it ties our gardening experience to the nature of God. Another good one is "Fresh".......altho not a christian focus (altho the primary farmer IS christian) it is a great learning experience about proper ecology and how to raise animals the way God intended.
ReplyDeleteI will have to check that one out as well, thank you so much for telling us about it!
DeleteClint,
ReplyDeleteThis video was a real eye opener for me. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I loved how everything he did with scripture in mind. I just haven't found a good source of wood chips and in the Northwest we have such a slug problem, I'm not sure if the wood chips would be beneficial or detrimental because the slugs love to hide in them. Blessings,
Michelle
You can use Epsom Salts to deter the slugs! Thank you for stopping in!
DeleteFirst time I have heard about this video. Thanks for sharing. I don't know much about gardening, but my hubby and I are planning to do a garden this summer. I'd love to start canning the produce we grow too.
ReplyDeleteNice to 'meet' you during the UBP12. I hope you have a great weekend!
Blessings,
LaVonne @ Long Wait For Isabella
Thank you LaVonne for stopping in. I hope to have canning posts here as well. Please come back all the time!

ReplyDeleteyourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz respond as I'm looking to construct my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. kudos
Take a look at my blog post cool article ideas
Glad to meant you! The Picture at the header is one that I took in my back yard, the rest is just a Google blogger template. Have fun playing with your new blog!
DeleteI had no idea how popular this movie is! It is my midwife and her husband's garden :) Paul is a great guy (and of course his wife, my midwife is THE BEST!), and I have fun memories of him showing me how to make kombucha :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to meet him and talk with him!
DeleteWe absolutely loved this film. We are trying to use the sheet composting method here on our homestead.
ReplyDeleteMade these four days ago, just tried them for lunch...I will never make another kind of dill pickle! Thank you so much for the recipe. They turned out great!
