About This Video:
With the wet season here, it"s time to plant this years crop of yams. The previous yam garden, a large basket type enclosure, worked well in discouraging predators from eating the growing tubers. But with time the cane enclosure rots. So I switched to a method of protecting yams by planting the seed yams under a pile of rocks. Early tests prove that this method protects them from being eaten. The rocks are too heavy for scrub turkeys to lift and wild pigs seem not to associate the pile of rocks with food.
So the next step was to make a garden consisting of individual mounds fortified with neat stonework. This was done by building layers of stone circles around the mound while adding soil with each layer. A yam bulb was planted in each mound during this process. A wooden stake was placed in each mound for the yam vine to grow up and horizontal rafters were tied to the top of these stakes to give the vines something to grow across. By the end of the project the yams had started growing with some coiling around the stakes.
About Primitive Technology:
Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber.

Stone cairn containing a yam vine Placed at the foot of a tree for it to grow up Another yam cairn in a drier spot Cairn with advanced growth Planning a garden of stone yam planters (grid of 9 mounds, 1 m apart) Mounding up soil Collecting small flat stones for the mound Building a retaining wall of stone around the base of the mound The mound is about 75 cm in total diameter including the rocks.
For the second layer, the rocks are laid over the joints in the ones below for stability This configuration is suprisingly stable and I've built pillars about 1.5 m high with this technique (these will only be about 0.5 m tall though) In fill with soil Soil carried in half log Now for the pole for the vine to grow up Pole is about 2m tall Yam bulbil from last years crop (see Yam, cultivate and cook) An armored mound, safe from pigs and turkeys Water from the creek.
Watering to get the yam started Second mound Third mound Putting poles in before building mounds is easier Note: in colder climates you can use potatoes without scaffolding, just add layers as the plant grows Completed mounds Yam vines Attaching horizontal poles Now they have something to grow on.
Stone Yam Planters, safe from wild animals
