Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

My wife and I were told about this video at the perfect time: right after we had purchased five acres with the idea of desiring to homestead on it. This has become the way we have pursued gardening from day one, since we were wanting to garden organically but were extremely intimidated by the "problems" associated with it. This video gives an amazing framework for pursuing organic gardening with the least possible hassle. That said, it is a LOT of work up front, but then like Paul talks about it pays compounding interest.The movie itself is just so beautifully and artfully done. It really is a gem to watch, and there's so much information you'll find yourself watching it again and again.

Since viewing this film several weeks ago, I went on a quest to find all the mulch I could get my hands on. I've loaded a trailer full about 6 times so far and plan on getting a lot more. Since laying the mulch in my existing garden (30x30')I have watered my garden once. I had neglected my garden up to that point, simply because I couldn't keep up with the weeds and losses due to rodents digging up my plants and burying others. Since putting down the mulch, my burrowing rodent problem has ceased. I still have to deal with rabbits nibbling at the plants, but the voles and gophers really hate the mulch and stay away. The plants that lived through the neglect are thriving in the mulch and I have been able to harvest some crop even though I thought it was all lost a month ago. I wish I had learned of this 12 years ago. I finally feel like my garden is a success, and it's actually easier than it's ever been. I am so excited to have a garden that will be planted 'the correct way' from the start next year.I have shared the film with many others, some of them have shared it with their gardening groups. I think everyone should watch it and see if it's 'for them.' As far as the spiritual aspect, the way it was presented really helped me to put it in perspective. And I'm not very religious.

Paul give you all the details to start and maintain a garden with very little physical work. Amazing video, I've watched it several times already to make sure I didn't miss anything. Recommend to anyone who wants to garden, small or large scale. Paul explains how he grew up raising vegetables then moved to a place that had very little water. Asking for guidance he found that the surrounding trees didn't get watered yet were green and thriving. Literally digging in to the soil in the forest he found a way to make his garden mimic what happens in the forest naturally. His gardens and orchards thrive and his produce is always sweet and nutritious. Paul is a true inspiration and I am patterning my garden after his methods.

I absolutely love this documentary. God always makes sense and I'm very thankful that Paul shared what the Lord revealed to him. My husband and I can't wait to get our "Back to Eden" garden going. I'm looking forward to having real, sustainable food for our family, and plenty of excess to share with neighbors, family, and friends. What better way to spend your day that gently tending a garden and letting your children wander through rows of fresh food, nibbling as they see fit, and running off to play again? Definitely a must-see for anyone remotely interested in gardening on any level. It's so easy to adapt these basic principles to any kind of situation.
