Nice job, I live in Cape Town, South Africa. In August 2021 I started a food forest in my front yard. Over here we do not have wood chips or any free stuff. I dug a swale in the flat piece of ground and so far have 2 trees (fig and white mulberry), Cape gooseberry, Fat bush (rich in omega 3 and vitamin c), asparagus from seed and garlic. 2 Tomato plants came up by itself, but this is the slowest food forest anyone has ever started due to lack of resources, but it is going and over time it will self improve.

That's amazing! My understanding is that Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate, somewhat similar to here. It can be so tricky when you go long periods without any rain! The food forests in the jungle grow so fast, but they have such fertile soil and so so much rain! I planted several elderberries for medicinal purposes, but most of them we decided to use for chop and drop, they grow really fast and create woody and leafy material. Elderberries may be an option to explore since you don't have access to woodchips. You're absolutely right, it will improve! 💛

I started my Food Forest in March of 2021, next to an existing Little Woods, **before there were leaves on the adjacent trees**. 😮 I've spent the last 2 years feeling stupid for planting there as it's very shady. **This year** the berries I'd planted are finally showing blooms and a few berries, I wised up and moved the borders of my FF to incorporate more sunlight, and I've played with the idea of transplanting and moving plants to other parts of the yard to make use of the sunniest spots. Your videos have been **so inspiring ** ! I actually stopped halfway through the first of your videos I watched the other day to go outside and move the wooden beams that mark the border of my FF. I realized I did not make a mistake. I only need to adjust! 😊 Thank you for your channel. You're doing a Good Thing!!! ❤

I am so inspired by you! Just subscribe to all your videos I have started the same but double your age and just as you said chasing as fast as you can after the dream you imagine I too am trying to do the same thing. I’m a hospice nurse and I assure people into their new life after death each day of my working life. So when I get home it is so nurturing to me to nurture things into this life. I am starting to see some of Berry bushes provide me food but still building soil structure etc. had some surgery for carpal tunnel this year which set me back. Have an elder mother so chickens are on the back burner for now but your channel has inspired me to keep going! Thank you so much for sharing what you do a like you would envision a world where everyone had a backyard food forest wouldn’t that be Nirvana!

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for your beautiful comment 💛🙏 I'm sorry to hear about your surgery. Surgery is definitely a challenge, though I've come to accept that it's all how it's supposed to be to learn the lessons we're here to learn. Though it's difficult to have limited use of our hands. Getting injured and having surgery has taught me patience and compassion. And I'm learning that the things we imagine come, just not always on our time tables. Always more lessons to learn while we are here. Thank you for ushering the cycles of life with love and compassion. Blessings on your food forest journey 🌷

This is my goal. I spent the last year turning my 1/2 dead FL sand into workable soil. It took me less than 1 year to completely transform it and correct the erosion issues that were so bad it was causing the house foundation to shift. both my neighbors benefited- the neighbor on the elevated side was only 1/4 alive and the rest was baked sand, and the neighbor on the other side suffered from flooding. I create berms and alter the overall elevation with natural mulch I got by the truckload to correct the flow of water. I then planted hardy perennials to enforce those water breaks. "Running water must walk. Walking water must stand. Standing water must sink in." Water needs to percolate through organic matter to replenish the water table. Sun-baked earth resists water whereas healthy soil wicks water- the difference is the presence of organisms that produces the organic 'glue' that creates a spongy layer that can sustain root systems. Laying down thick mulch creates a habitat for mycelium- they are the foundations that will form a support network to plant root systems. Soil needs probiotics, too, and poop is the best way to put it there. I used rabbit litter- every time I cleaned the cage I used it in the garden. I also made a worm bin to upcycle my kitchen scraps into worm castings. I bought a burn barrel and turned Amazon boxes and tree debris into biochar. I would mix the litter, the biochar, the mulch, the worm castings, a bag of topsoil, and some local soil and use that for planting. The erosion stopped, the soil came back to life, and it became a refuge for local wildlife. This is only a rental property so everything I did was all proof of concept. It was really rewarding and I get so much interest from people that watched it transform in real-time. The neighborhood children would always ask me questions, and I'd teach them about what I was growing and give them seeds, cuttings, clones, etc. I've shared seeds with my neighbors, friends-of-my-friends, the mailman, the Orkin guy- no one is safe. My toxic trait is that I'll teach you something- whether you want it or not. This comment is proof of that. If I could somehow make restoring degraded land a profitable job- I'd love to do it fulltime.

Hi Kimberly! Thank you so much for your kind words and love 💕. Yes everybody has access to shelter and are locked up at night. All my neighbors have dogs so there aren’t a lot of predators but there are still raccoons and cats that they need protection from. Plus chickens naturally want to roost so they go in their coop as soon as the sun gets low and then I shut the door and lock it with a raccoon-proof latch.

How much did you invest in this? Looks like a lot of workers and inputs..
@Goldifarms
Жыл бұрын
Hi Jeremy, great question. Those workers are actually my friends! I had a few work parties with friends who are amazing and kind enough to help me out. I wish I did a better job tracking my expenses, but I estimate it was $5000 over the course of 3 years. Of course the initial inputs were most expensive- purchasing the plants and irrigation setup. I spent a couple hundred dollars on finished compost to amend with the trees and to inoculate the woodchips- but then later discovered I could get one yard of finished compost every year for free from the green waste recycling center. Oops... but now I know! All the woodchips were free and the imported soil was free (I go into this more in my 2-year video from last year). And now that I have a diversity of plants, I plan on propagating from what I have rather than purchasing from nurseries. I have been given quite a lot of plants now that I've met so many new friends who are into gardening. And I'm given a fair amount of "rescue" plants. They usually perk up once they're given lots of worm tea and proper growth conditions. All that to say, I think a project like this can be as inexpensive or expensive as you want. If you want everything to be done quickly and "easily" it can get expensive, but if you're willing to be patient and look for things on Craigslist free section, Facebook Marketplace, and thrift stores (like habitat resale, etc.) it can be much more economical. Depending on where you live and how resourceful you can get, I think it is possible to create a food forest for free.
