Inspiring Woman Growing a Huge Amount of Food in Her City Permaculture Garden
Inspiring Woman Growing a Huge Amount of Food in Her City Permaculture Garden
The Plummery is a suburban home where a tiny urban permaculture garden measuring only 100sq/m (1076 sq feet) produces over 400kg/900 pounds of food year-round.
Kat Lavers describes her approach to gardening, including vertical and biointensive growing, and how important it is – and possible! – for city dwellers to be food resilient in the face of natural, financial and social crises. We were very inspired by how little day-to-day effort goes into creating such an abundance of food!

honestly , madam , you are doing a great work. i appreciate your effort . mother nature and God sure loves you.
Hi. What is that arrangement?
"Only" 100sqm. In the UK that’s considered a large garden!
We’ve got a decent-sized garden at the moment – big enough to throw the ball for the dog, it’s got a large garage and a shed, plus a decking and patio – I’ve just measured it: 47sq/m!
Love love love this video – but I honestly thought her garden was much smaller than it is until I measured my own!
Very inspiring… 👏 👏 👏
I’m working on this too (not WWOOFing but the urban homesteading). My lot is small (backyard is 40X25 = 1,000 sq ft.and much smaller front yard) but it’s so encouraging to realize you’re growing so much in that similarly small amount of space! I’ve got all the edible and medicinal herbs and other perennials in the front yard and mini orchard and veggies in the back where there is a bit more space and sun. It’s such a fun journey. And so fun to see other people doing the same. You should write a book on your findings about how to plant optimally for space and companion planting. You’re way ahead of me and such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your experience. <3
A beautiful life!
Watching this for the third time now. I find you so inspiring. I hope I can have a garden like yours someday and animals too (starting with chickens). 🌻
🇮🇳🇮🇳💓🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the Russian subtitles
This video is so inspirational…thank you very much… Will get back to Australia one of these days so will be sure to visit…I’m on the other side of the world…in the Caribbean…
I love your vidio🥰. Btw did you sell your harvest or not?
That’s so cool. <3
Wow im appreciated your so beautiful and you have skills and ability to do something Wow…..
Bravo !
I believe that we’re not supposed to live like we do now what destroys us
and our planet ! We’re not supposed to get dressed in 5 min. and eat
breakfast in 1 min and drive with the subway while we’re surfing in a fake
social media , sit 8 hours in front of the Pc eat fast and in the end of
the day watch Netflix to get more manipulated ! People please let us be
simple and let us save our beautiful planet, we belong to the nature
it’s our nature, it’s our truth..
What a beautiful human being!
I just can’t wait for summer….. I have also a very big garden. For 5 years I am gardening. For our whole family…. We grow enough to feed ourselves for 8 months. We don’t need to buy fresh foods at least 8 months. This year I will be make another space for growing many more foods to store for winters. I am very excited.
Don’t think much. Just do it….whatever place u have. Just start…. It’s to relaxing…. Very awesome…. I just love my garden like my baby…..
Super hit all videos🇮🇳🇮🇳💓🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great job on spreading knowledge on how to be self sufficient. We need more people like you around. Keep it up.
I’ve had so many doors close… even career because of covid. I enjoy your content ask .
A great example of how much one can grow in a relatively small place.
So inspiring, i hope i can build atiniy house and garden in my town 🙏
How wonderful! Thank you so much!
I applaud producing in small spaces. But, if the video is accurate, that’s a tenth of a pound per square meter. And if they are weighing harvests with inedible carrot tops like portrayed in the video. They’ve got far to go. Sorry to be the Debbie Downer. But this is ag lifestyle porn.
Loved this

I’m curious to know what Kat is growing during the Winter? I live in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Would love to know what to grow throughout the year. Any advice would be great. 🙏👍
