On a 1/3rd acre urban lot in Corvallis, Oregon, horticulture professor and youtuber Andrew Millison has spent the past 12 years turning a grassy yard into a high-yielding microfarm with more than enough produce, eggs and honey to feed his family.
Every corner of his front, back, and side yard is covered with fruits, vegetables, cover crops, bee hives, chicken coops, grey water treatment plants, and even a bamboo forest that supplies garden fencing.
He intentionally planted fruit all along the perimeter of his corner lot to feed the neighborhood, as well as plenty of native flowers to encourage pollinators.
Millison, who teaches online permaculture courses at Oregon State, turned an old shed on the property into his home office so he can now take breaks to tend his garden while working:
“For me, it's the perfect relationship between work and garden because I'll be sitting here and I'll think the chickens are being really loud, and I’ll go and see they're out of food or I'll hear the humming of the bees and suddenly be like ‘oh my god my bees are swarming.’ I feel like my work and play relationship is very nice.”

Quail is the new chicken
Incubation of these little ones are about 17 days. Literally the size of a button, these quail are small but have big personalities.

The OSU Food Hero Challenge is officially underway here. Today I started a brand new mini greenhouse with a tray of zinnia, a tray of marigolds, two 6 six cells of kale, two 6 cells of lettuce, three 6 cells of basil, and one 6 cell of beefsteak tomatoes. We'll see what happens!

Turns barren suburban lot into high-yield Microfarm & YT studio
Buys a standard suburb house, and turns the whole place into a food garden.
Place the chicken coop on the front yard/back yard line, this way he can open it up to one yard at a time.
Plants support plants to protect the soil and attract pollinators.  Literally attracted 3 swarms of bees that he now keeps.
Weaves his vines into the arch and fencing.
Keeps the trees low on the south side to let in the low winter sun.
Has a green house that uses water barrels as for thermal capacity to catch the sunlight.
Won’t export any organic material to the city, and as such has built up about 4 feet of soil.
Runtime:  31:47
Warning:  Using your own poop for compost can lead to microbes to be reintroduced into your diet.

We got out first blackberries off our vine that I've been growing for 2 yrs now. These ones were a smidge tart but the rest were good. Had to pull off a little early because the birds have now discovered my berries... Also onions blooming, squash getting loaded with blossoms and purple green beans! The onions that are blooming were onions that had been thrown out by a store for not being good enough. They were fine, I pulled off the outer layers, planted the 5 sections it had and yada. Now we will have seeds for this variety that will continue to strengthen and be adapted to our soil make up here. * * * * * * * * * * #spring #garden #veggies #berries #blackberry #gardening #farm #microfarm #homestead #homesteading #permaculture #gardenlife #homesteadlife #homegrown https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQzK71ux1G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
