Today we cover how to grow a survival food forest, increasing calories right from the beginning. A food forest system can take years to start producing; however, if you plant calorie crops right from the beginning, your food forest become a survival garden. Instead of waiting on fruit and nuts, you have food when you need it. If you're worried about supply lines, gas shortages, a survival food supply, and how many calories you need to live - this is the way to grow food fast! Plant those root crops! Even in a temperate climate food forest, you can grow potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, turnips, rutabagas, carrots, parsnips, mangels, beets, onions, garlic and more. In a tropical food forest, you can plant bananas, plantains, yams, sweet potatoes, yacon, taro, eddoes, cassava, arrowroot, cannas, ginger, turmeric and more, getting calories and medicine in the ground as you wait for your trees to produce. Let your garden become your emergency food supply!
Thanks for watching. More links:

"Yes, Honey, I know that the rent was excellent for this big of a place and I love the yard too.. But who are all these people in our backyard?! "
What zone are you in? I’m zone 6.
Growing garlic next to trees and plants, can deter bugs and critters
I'm growing as many potatoes, pumpkins, corn, and beans as I can fit on my property this year. Basically switching from hobby to survival gardening, just in case everything gets really bad because it's certainly looking like it will.
Amen , I'm succession planting everything also , with prices going up daily ,
I just transplanted more determinate tomatoe plants here in
Montgomery County, Texas-
I transplanted 9 August 2nd and just transplanted another 6 determinate Tomato plants September 3rd as this past Spring tomato plants did horrible with our severe heat , even though I watered daily & my husband put several
Old camping canopy 4 legged over head tents to try & not have them hit by the sun so much , I just got some shade cloth for our plot areas ,
Hoping I get a better fall tomato harvest now that are Temps are now in the low 90's & 80's and nights now in the 70's .
So it's a little early to start my fall fall plants , like broccoli, cauliflower etc ...in about a month I can start those ....
But just started more zucchini, carrots 🥕 but keeping sun off them ,
Like David said like October for turnips, rutabaga etc....
God bless

Very smart. Sadly, I think things will get much worse. It’s at the point where growing/producing your own food is a necessity. Food prices are out of control. Even “comfortable” middle class Americans are struggling with food prices. We are ramping up our food production goals big time. Getting gardens, livestock, and systems in place. Prep up, folks. Be well.
@@jtharp9265 that’s great. Good for you. Keep planting! Perennials are definitely something I am focused on lately. Naturally, we will always grow as many annuals as we can. Be well.
Looks good
I call it shotgun gardening. I plant multiple varieties, cultivars and secession every 2 wks. By planting a little of everything if something doesn't take, sometine else is bound to! The only take away lesson I've had is always plant a garden 2-3 times larger than you think you'll need.
4 years ago I bought a house with 1/3 acre of sand and weeds in the high desert. I failed the first couple years at gardening and I was praying "Lord what should I plant? ". The answer came "everything". So that's what I've done the last 2 years and I am finally having some success.
God is good.
This is very cool. Good job on staying patient.
Another great food for fattening up meat rabbits is the leaves from Mulberry trees. You can get lots of green leaves from the tree for 3/4 of the year. All my bunnies LOVE them and they're very balanced for rabbit nutrition enough to make up 50-60% of their diet. One Mulberry tree creates far more rabbit food than timothy grass growing in the same square footage ;)
Thanks so much for sharing this information. Great to know as I am trying to learn as much as I can on what I could feed my meat rabbits if pellets become unobtainable. 😊 Thank goodness I started a mulberry patch a few years ago.
I didn't know that! Thank you
good to know. Thanks
This is great to know. I am just starting permaculture in both a city and a rural setting, and I am considering keeping angora rabbits in the city under my mulberry tree.
Along with roots, people sometimes forget rabbits, ducks and chicken eggs are a very quick way to feed a family with food that is far more filling than veg.
In an emergency animals can convert so much of the wild greens around us (that we can't safely eat) into something that gives your body real energy!
Raising your own meat is also far more kind, ethical and more earth friendly than ANY other meat you'll find in the store (as well as most the shipped in produce from nuts and avocados, too). My rabbits are loved, happy and spoiled. And if you feel bad cutting their lives a little short, just look at nature. Just about EVERYTHING eats rabbits. They're designed either by God or Natural Selection (whatever you believe) to be the ideal food of the grand majority of healthy predators, worldwide. ....And they're frickin delicious. BETTER than chicken in my opinion.
Love the Liz comment. You have no idea how much my husband and I needed to laugh. Been at the doctor’s office for hours today. Thank you David. Don’t have as much time to watch as I’d like to but so glad we watched you today!
On nut trees, my friend here commented that the native black walnuts produce well except in years where they get rained on for a solid week when they are blooming. Since they are wind pollinated, prolonged rain prevents pollination, and of course then you get no crop. This would apply to chestnuts and other nuts, too, because as far as I know all of our nuts are wind-pollinated. So while I do think it's good to have nut trees, especially chestnuts as grain substitutes, it's advisable to have as many alternatives as possible for those years when the trees don't produce a crop.
Just remember, don't put those black walnuts near your garden.
The hormones produced by the roots are toxic to most of what we grow in our gardens and alot of fruit trees too.
mid-Missouri Zone 6A - Our Chestnut trees don't start blooming until the third week of June; and itis usually somewhat dry at that time. We have had nuts produced every year so far. This year, the sweet potatoes are looking good, as usual.
David great video like always. Out here in Thailand, we also boil the stems of the Thai ginger as a vegetable. Eating the heart of the stem. It is a staple crop for sure! Thanks again for the vids bud. P.s. I also make ginger ale and ginger beer from the root. Just takes sugar, water, Thai ginger and love. Have a great day!
Do a video please 🖤
"You can't live on daikon radishes"
Is that a challenge?
Hi David, I've had something eating about 90% of my sweet potatoes underground the last two years. This year I planted the slips in a kiddy pool with small holes in the bottom and about 10 inches of soil. I don't know if I'm going to get many potatoes, but the vines are growing like gangbusters. It is only me, so I don't need a ton of sweet potatoes, so hopefully this will work. I'm thinking it is voles or moles.
Something is eating mine from underneath too and I am growing in growbags.
Same here chipmunks? That’s what I blame
Voles, definitely voles!
I heard moles are carnivorous and only damage plant roots by tunnelling. If the sweet potato themselves are being eaten, def voles. We don't have either here in Australia just what I've learned on youtube so I could be wrong 💖
good idea! My sister took all the dirt from her raised beds, and put hardware cloth on the bottom, and up the sides a couple of inches, that stopped her voles. They were taking the whole tomato plant from underneath, one day, 4 foot beautiful plant, next day, hole! Hope you get a good harvest!
The rhizosphere is probably my favorite layer of the forest. Something so warm about edible roots. I love them.
Great advice about filling up with starchy veggies! In Alberta, Canada, we rely lots on the root veggies for food & they grow ell here in our zone 3. Many blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦
My meat rabbits love eating ginger leaves and I like them too, despite being a a little tough/stringy - the flavor is really good! I chop them fine against the leaf strings and use them in any dish that calls for fresh ginger and/or mild greens. They're not bitter, even in the 110 summer heat where I live. Just tossed with some oil in a pan, maybe a little bacon they make a great side dish ;)
111 and 1 got to be good for you. Yes we are all stars and eternal. As you walk the walk, so do many of us and this is precious, passing on the information to assist others, so thank you.
Thank you
This channel gives me so much comfort. He should have an official slot on TV. But people don't watch tv anymore. This guy would have been a millionaire already if we were in the 80s now. This would be the prime time Sunday afternoon show for me. 👌🌻🌴👏
Thank you, Daniel. I am happy being here.
So true!!
I didn't realize our ginger was called galangal. I just knew the roots didn't smell like normal ginger, so never tried to eat it. We have rhizomes 20 years old and enormous. It doesn't do well in a dry place in our yard, but absolutely thrives - to an overwhelming point - in a spring-fed wet area we have. It competes with the wild taro there. I guess we have food security! (FloraBama Coast)
galangal is a kind of ginger
David, thank you for your good advise. I'll try more roots. This year I am experimenting with the sweet patato, here, in East Europe. The climate this year sounds very Alabamian. Short, dry Springs. The hot, dry Summers. Finally, God be praised, we had few days ofvgoid rain. So I am rushing to plsnt few Autumn crops. God help us all!
I'm in NC Wisconsin so growing season is short here. Because of that, I'm trying something new this year and growing my sweet potatoes in a pot. Topside, it looks beautiful and is now blooming. Just prior to frosty weather, the entire pot will come into the house.
Forty years ago, an old moonshiner told me the best producing mash was made from Jerusalem Artichoke.
Really, but what’s scary is the wind they produce. Is there anyway to over come that?
Very, very interesting...
@@Sinju88 boiling
10:34 I was hoping you'd mention JAs. They are my #1 favorite. A lot of the roots you mention won't grow in colder climates, but if you are in zone 4 like I am, then Jerusalem Artichokes are food for LIFE. I even had an entire 40 minute video dedicated to these things. When I pull mine up, they are just so HUGE. Very prolific plant. The digestion issues you mention are due to inulin, which you can destroy by boiling for 20 minutes. So it's all about knowing how to cook with them.
I planted Jerusalem artichokes for the first time in spring of this year and they still haven't flowered but are about 12' tall. Should they have flowers by now?
JAs are my favourite too. Roast are so good
We also encourage folks to grow Jerusalem artichokes. I think we’ve posted two videos about Jerusalem artichokes. Awesome survival crop. Good point about the inulin, because if you don’t boil them well, they can give people discomfort/gas. I’m assuming however you cook them, as long as you cook them well, that would also help with that??... I think it’s important to mention, that I think they are invasive. If they are well managed, they might be able to be controlled. Personally, we grow ours in containers. We hope to grow some in some garden beds in the future. I don’t think I would put these right in the ground, because I would be worried that they would take over. That shows how prolific and resilient they are. Happy growing, folks.
@@billirogers3206 Not all varieties make flowers.
Galangal. I learned something this morning.
People complain so much about it, but again, bamboo. Grows fast and provides lots of delicious, edible shoots, as well as other benefits.
I agree - very useful.
I just learned about a wild potato-like plant that grows in most climates called "Arrowhead" or "wapato". It's smaller but it's like a better potato with more starch so it doesn't require a binder for things like hash browns. I'm going to go grab some from the wild since I've been struggling with potatoes a little bit in this part of Michigan.
Hi David, first, all I can say is OUTSTANDING!!!! I have been incorporating your method of compost everything. Live in central Texas with high alkaline soil. Working on the food forest. Thank you
Thank you, Don! Alkaline soil is a challenge I haven't faced yet. May your food forest grow wonderfully!
I'm in central Texas with limestone cliche soils. I'm creating a pasture based on my successes with creating soil in my raised needs from 95% leaves. It can be done! (On my channel)
I started to work on my "root" skills. Potatoes,carrots, parsnips, rutabaga, turnips, beets. I am starting to get the hang of it. Zone 5, az mountains
You know, watching this, I bet if you started a cooking channel or side series, you could really explode your audience; after seeing your gardening vids, I always wonder how it all comes together in a meal, and cooking channels are big views, combine the garden shots with the cooking shots = impressive homesteader meal audience? Just an idea :3
I over planted different kinds of cannas on purpose. That Galangal sounds interesting. Didn't know it had fragrant flowers. I also have lots of shampoo ginger. Cassava and yams by far the easiest roots to grow.
Where did you get your cannas?
@@jksatte Box stores, and online. Spring is a good time to get them.
Any canna is edible?
@@TrickleCreekFarm As far as I know. Don't confuse them with Calla Lily, those are poisonous.
@@aaronb4493 thank you, any clue what the original or ‘true’ color of canna is? For instance, the day lily is originally the orange and those are edible, now there are tons of color variations...
The reason why fruit is harvested green in the tropics is generally to get the fruit before other animals or insects do :) bats, birds, insect etc, like a ripe fruit generally, so we get at it before they do. That means learning to make dishes tasty with green fruit, like a green mango salad.
I am in Iron county, Mo. and am starting a grocery row garden! Thanks for all the info.
Thank you! Let me know how it grows.
@@davidthegood I will be documenting as best as I can. Maybe you can feature me when you do the next version of "Row Garden", LOL.
Yes certain roots are also great in more arid climates :-) you are a great gardener and show us soo much. Thanks so muchissimo
I absolutely love Jerusalem Artichoke. They are amazing roasted. Good raw too.
Welcome back 💖
Yay! love the scary monster ones! What a great intro DTG. We were just discussing your awesomeness with sweet taters. I need that type of Ginger in my life, I just have store bought ginger in a pot, two other pots flooded and I lost most of those.
Super inspirational, this will inform my planting choices next year!
This year the bulk of the calories I'm growing come from winter squash. But i don't grow a large percentage of the calories i eat. Yet. 😄
Those galangal are gorgeous! I’m growing ginger in a grow bag (zone 7a). Maybe I can try out some galangal.
Potatoes this year came out small. Hopefully the purple sweet potatoes do okay. It was WAY too hot where I had the potatoes.
Sing it, David!
you inspire me so much. i have a small garden now but i cannot wait to buy land so i can grow 50 black turtle bean plants xD. this is my dream
Glad to see a video, great gardens, and info, and garden friends! I have to put our fall garden, usually my best, on hold. Very hard, I did plant greens for the chickens, and beans for me...thank God for the moringa, and other perennials! Waiting on 2 more pineapples to ripen, too!
Still trying to wrap my head around larger area (maybe an acre? each) crops, 1 large area for chickens, goats, and maybe a cow, later, I guess cover crops?, and 2 large areas, also about an acre each, for food crops, then, still plenty of place for fruits, etc. I heard there was already apple and peach orchards there, maybe up the hill, but no care for maybe 10 years or so...
The seeds I have, and I have lots, praise God, and the plants i bring, will have to do for a while. And any big works will have to wait for the guys, who will be refurbishing a very old house...
So, please pray for this move, and God's provision. Tahnks for listening : )
A very old house sounds wonderful. May God bless and keep you as you go through this move.
I’d like to mention the no till and the terra praeta are similar in the layering process. Terra praeta seems to be old pottery firing pits. Broken pottery, wood char, seaweed ( used for color designs), even the bones would have been used as propping tools for pottery or “cones”.
Thanks for the great video. We planted our sweet potatoes in giant containers that a neighbor threw out after planting a new hedge. The vines are everywhere. I love the idea of using our cattle panel tunnels next time!
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful garden tips ❤❤❤❤❤
I love spending time watching your show thank you thank you
Thank you, Ron.
The flowers on galangal smell wonderful.
I'm new to your channel and I love it! You grow some really diverse edibles. I just moved to NW Arizona and an loving this long growing season in zone 8b. I even started a pineapple from the top of one I bought at the store. 🍍 I'm growing so many root vegetables and we've got established fruit trees on this 20 year old homestead. Olives, peaches, apples, pear, pomegranate, apricots, pistachio, and plums. Some might be past their prime but we're planting more. Bless you! 🙏
Welcome. That is a great selection - I would love to try pistachios.
So awesome! I think I may be having zone envy. Haha. We are in 6b and are very happy with our growing options. I want to grow everything, I guess. Haha. Hoping that we have success with overwintering plants inside. So far, it seems to be working. Time will tell. Happy growing to you!
Hey I'm in SE AZ and am wondering if you happen to know what variety pistachio trees you have. I don't know much about them but would like to give them a try. Also zone 8
When you were describing the scent of the galangal i couldnt understand what you were saying until i pulled up the captions and saw frangipani tree... what i thought you were saying was, french panty tree lol😂 and i knew that cant be righy. I was like oh yea it smells wonderful, smells like the french panty tree lmfao. I was so confused hahaha
Another prolific provider, in my opinion, are squashes. Namely Seminole pumpkin and zucchini, but I’ve recently tasted a chayote after reading how prolific it is here too. Blessings to y’all from Florida 🌴🐢🌺🐊🐠🪸🌊⚡️🌀🚀😎
Love the Root Forest lovely plants n video You always make me smile n learn something new Thank you David 😊 👍 🇺🇸 🙏
I love my Jerusalem Artichokes! And I've never had any ill effects from them. Though I've heard plenty of stories.
Bless you with energy…a new place? Sounds exciting, but extreme amount of work ahead of you!
Thank you David. Galangal a plenty.Good advice regarding calories. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Workng on the sweet potato now.
Thank you for informing about the terrible Jerusalem Artichoke! I had been looking for these to plant as an alternative food source!
In Cyprus it’s end of September or October for replanting root vegis but atm we are propagating sweet potato slips, late lettuce, spinach beans, peas as it’s cooling down finally, still at least another month before we get a good rainfall but as they say more slips more spuds.
My mom made our suburban back and front yard into a forest when I was a kid. It was gorgeous but new when I left for pa...
I've always heard not to eat Jerusalem artichokes when the stems and leaves are still green
I don't - I wait until they die back from frost.
For your mulberry yoy can prune it. When it shoot out it will come with fruits
in my place in malaysia or to be precise in east malaysia building a food forest is after the area of land is planted with rice paddy i.e. after a very large area of forest is cleared to plant the rice paddy and after all the rice paddy has been harvested then the planting of vegetables and fruit trees start maybe in another 10 years or 15 years, the land area will be cleared again for rice paddy planting again 😉😉
Ooh! I love the smell of frangipanis! I had one at a previous house, but we moved northward. So, I will have to add some Galangal to the yard!
I would love to meet a man like this in my area.
brilliant babies!
Ants get all my root crops, they supplement their diet with me...
Nice! You have the cattle panel trellis between your grocery row garden beds.
Galengal is only found in few Asian store. It is used widely in a dish called Rendang Beef. So delicious.
Love that umbrella harvesting technique! Haha great video.
Sweet potatoes love hard rocky soil. In soft loamy soil the potatoes don't grow very big but in hard soil they get huge.
Just bought the book. Zone 10b. Can't wait to get it
Thank you - Merry Christmas.
i didn't know that camia ((Hedychium coronarium and Hedychium philippinense), which is called white ginger and butterfly ginger in my country the Philippines is EDIBLE. My mom grew them a lot when I was young. We just pick the flowers and preserved them to dry in between our books and they smell so good.
Would love to add some of these root plants you mentioned. I am zone 7 so I’ll have to do some research to find out what will work best in the forest garden we are creating.
"You can't live on Daikon radish"....Korea would like a word! lol, keep up the good work.
Gorgeous plants! I love your vibe man😁👍
Next time you should have your kid carrying a Pizza Hut box in the background as you harvest food. 😄 and eating a slice of pizza at the same time.
Great, now I'm hungry 😆
Yikes.
Lmao!
Last seasons kumara (sweet potato) harvest had one plant produce a clump below it, like the layout of a ranunculus or garlic bulb. In it was many kumara the size of that large one in the video, plus a few about twice the size. Can see on my channel should you wish.
Loved the video. Thanx for sharing! Now I need to find Yamberries.
I have a huge clump of ginger, looks like the same type, that has the best smelling white flowers. It quickly outpaced the canna lilies and would have choked them out had i not intervened. I moved most of the canna's and only those on the edge survived. My land is awful right now from the monsoon rains we received over the last 4 months. I'll be working on some of the four to five foot high grass today. I really need a scythe, especially for the back of our land, so I can work on it during the cooler months. So behind on getting winter garden crops started. Planted one packet of Seminole pumpkins but only noticed one fruit. Guessing the crazy rains had something to do with that. Certainly no shortage of blooms. Artichokes are something I love to eat and want to grow. Buying seeds for them is a pain because most companies give you one to three seeds and the germination rate is terrible. Even after I get them to germinate, they still die. I've tried direct sow and pampering in trays, same result.
We stock up on dry beans..cheapest way to garden. More seeds for less money and mostly protein.
A quote from the Notting Hill movie.
Keziah: No thanks, I'm a fruitarian.
Max: I didn't realize that.
William: And, ahm: what exactly is a fruitarian?
Keziah: We believe that fruits and vegetables have feeling so we think cooking is cruel. We only eat things that have actually fallen off a tree or bush - that are, in fact, dead already.
William: Right. Right. Interesting stuff. So, these carrots…
Keziah: Have been murdered, yes.
William: Murdered? Poor carrots. How Beasly!
3:57 i can spot Phyllanthus niruri, its tea is really really grat for the liver
Great Work!
It seems like just 1-5 acres can be a serious challenge to manage.
So difficult for all people to have an adequate daily supply of fresh cruciferous vegetables. How else to fight cancer and radiation?
For hunger satiation they say mushrooms can help a great deal in this regard.
Many people forget about the sustainability arguments.
Thank you
Try that in North Dakota in the winter. Chicago, Detroit, Wyoming.
You can't grow much there during the winter. Except SAD.
You can cook the taro leaves as well. Sauté with onion, garlic and plimemto and it is delicious.
They will tear you up if done wrong.
You eat the Taro leaves & tuber? Growing up in hawaii we loved to make LauLau with the taro leaf... locals made poi from the tubers, kids ate it like ice cream!
That was funny, that is also my experience with the white variety. It only made 1 coconut-sized tuber per plant or smaller. Only Beaugard and Okinawa for us Georgia (USDA 7a)
Thanks for sharing this video
David the Good should sell air potatoes if he can send the to most United States of America by post office.
A wealth of knowledge, thank you for sharing.
I have been binge watching your videos. From biochar to swamp water to compost to lasagna . Which bed do you think grow so well and what do you think makes that bed so special because how well they turn? And where do your daughter sell the produce? Does she major in related to your field? Love all your videos btw!
Howdy David from Orlando
Hi Paul
ThankQ
Another great video! Please do a video when you transplant the trees. PS I grew up about a mile from you in SW Lauderdale and enjoyed immensely the video of your parents’ home. Reminded me of my old neighborhood.❤
Thank you, Kathleen. That is wild we were so close.
Lol! Close to your parents, maybe. I remember when the thrift store was a Winn Dixie and the A&P was across the street on the south side of Davie Blvd And Wendy’s? That was a BIG deal when that went in following a fast food chicken place and Army- Navy store on that site. Yes, I am THAT old and your biggest fan from the ‘hood. No matter the age! 😀
Thinking of moving from Virginia to Alabama. Our dream is to have a farm but I can't afford it here in VA I want to quit work and start living lol.
In Thailand we call those air potatoes "hummun" which translates to "yam testicles"
Hi David, I am attempting the Lasagna garden for the first time after seeing your videos. I have a question that needs an answer pls. I was going to plant some turnips this morning, pulled back the mulch and started digging a trench about an inch deep. Suddenly I felt a sting. My hand had been attacked by ants. A LOT of ants. Is this normal? Do I leave them alone? Do I attempt to get rid of them? What do I do if anything? Nope, I didn't plant the turnips there. I figured I would be feeding the ants. Your help will be appreciated and looked forward to. Thank you.
Other tasty roots: celery root, parsley root In each case, may need to be a different variety from celery grown for stalks or parsley grown for leaves.
Celeriac?
Hamburg parsley?
But one beautiful white potato is much better than no beautiful white potatoes
Uhmayzin! I can't wait to buy grocery gardening!
Chess Nut trees are very fast growing for a nut tree.
Love your video. Missing the wife. Loved her most recent one! 👱🏻👩🏻🦳👨🏻🎤
Try making a carrot ginger salad dressing… in a food processor … it’s delish
David I have those vines with the yam balls hanging on it all over the place I thought they were invasive my grandma used to call the monkey balls and I would pull them up pull them up I didn’t know the little balls could be eaten and it does have a big longroot I didn’t know they were edible
They are invasive, but edible. Just don't get them mixed up with the wild D. bulbifera, which is often toxic.
Pura vida 😊
@davidthegood love your channel!!!! How do you prevent the harvesting of the root crops from damaging the roots of the perennials ( trees, bushes etc)?
It doesn't seem to hurt them much. The only ones that didn't seem to like it were my Southern Highbush blueberries. The sweet potatoes I planted around them slowed them down a lot.
Very good idea 😘
