Desert Gardens Homestead - Invidious

Desert Gardens Homestead

Welcome to Desert Gardens Homestead!

I grow food where plants are supposed to die.

On this channel, I share how I use Natural Farming, Permaculture, and plenty of goat drama to turn dead desert dirt into living soil. If it can be fermented, composted, or chopped and dropped — I’ve probably tried it (and filmed it).

Here’s what I cover:
• Desert Gardening That Works: Soil building with weeds, deep mulch, food forest layering, and heat-proof crops that don’t throw tantrums at 110°F.
• Livestock Shenanigans: Goats, chickens, and why they’re either helping build soil… or escaping and eating it.
• Free Fertilizer Hacks: FPJ, JADAM brews, worm bins, and compost piles that smell like victory.
• Real Homesteading Mistakes: Because sometimes the best way to learn is by messing up... on camera.

If you're tired of overpriced gardening gimmicks and want to grow more with less, hit subscribe.
I’m in Tucson, AZ Zone 9a. Let’s grow wild.
