Today’s show was actually requested by none other than Geoff Lawton.  I made only one modification changing it from Food Forestry to Food and Farm Forestry, simply to be more clear.  When we think of food forests we think 90% about fruits and nuts, then about 10% about under story including the shrub and herbaceous layers.  The reality though is forests can provide among many other things, food, fiber, fodder, construction materials, medicine and more. Additionally we need to reconsider what we consider a “forest”.  Most would figure a forest must be in some way a square, rectangle, trapezoid, triangle, … Continue reading →

Four weeks ago I did a show called Food Forestry and How it Actually Works. In that show I asked for specific food forest questions. The response was so heavy that a three weeks ago I did Episode-1251- Food Forest Questions and Answers – Part One and wasn’t able to cover all the questions by a long shot. So two weeks ago we did Episode-1258- Food Forest Questions and Answers – Part Two and we were still far from done, so I did, Episode-1263- Food Forest Questions and Answers – Part Three.  Even with that we still have more questions, … Continue reading →

Last week I did a show called Food Forestry and How it Actually Works.  If you didn’t listen to it you, you might want to do so before listening to this show.   The reason being is that this show is a direct result of questions that I asked the audience to send me at the end of that show.  Hence much of what was covered there I will be assuming you have already heard today. The reality is a food forest is both simple and quite complex at the same time.  The complexity is based on the system that develops, … Continue reading →

From Nov. 21st to Nov. 23rd this month we are running an earthworks workshop, I think we still have two spots by the way for anyone that wants to come.  You can find out about that here. During this workshop we are putting in the main frame earth works for about .75 acres of food forest.  That is just the beginning though.  Main planting will occur in the spring.  At that time about 40 long term productive trees, lots of bushes and shrubs, some climbers and about 280 support trees will be planted. I talk about food forests often and … Continue reading →

At the presentation I just did at the Self Reliance Expo there were two main things people had major questions about when it comes to food forestry.  The first was “what trees and plants work in Texas” and that really is what will work in most of the US.  The second is how does this all apply to a small back yard or smaller piece of land. Now the new video Geoff Lawton just released shows what can be done, including with trees in small backyards.  This videos leads off with a back yard that is only 640SF.  Of course … Continue reading →
