David The Good's North Florida Food Forest: The Farewell Tour
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 เม.ย. 2016
- Check out my little book Create Your Own Florida Food Forest for a great list of species and inspiration: amzn.to/20cxRDN
Almost six years ago, author David The Good began his North Florida food forest. This food forest project has been visited by hundreds (or more) of people and has been toured by a multitude of gardening groups and individuals, including garden lovers who have driven in from other states to see it. It served as the inspiration for two Florida gardening books and was the testing ground for ideas in two other books. Almost 100 fruit and nut trees plus a baffling array of edible roots, shrubs, berries, palms and more...
...and I, David The Good, have now sold this amazing experiment to another lucky individual who also loves food forests. Today I present you with the farewell tour, letting you see, for the last time through my eyes, the incredible developments in this multi-year permaculture project. It's in a similar climate to Val and Eli's food forest, and has even been blessed by a visit from my Florida gardening friend Alex Ojeda, permaculture dude extraordinaire.
Farewell, food forest. I will miss you.

I couldn't finish watching this. It started giving me motion sickness, twice! 😆🤣😅
So happy that the new owner is going to appreciate it and take care of it, that way you can go back and look at it.
Thanks, I am happy she lets me visit.
This would have broken my heart to leave all of this blood, sweat, and tears behind me. But it opened up many more doors apparently. - Rick
Wow 5 years ago already. You and your family have been through so much. Thanks for your help over the years and the great books you have written. Best of luck for the next 5 and beyond.
And now your BACK IN FLORIDA full circle! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
hahaha We had an orange tree that bore pink grapefruits in C Fl. Gives meaning to "love the one you're with."
I'd buy the house just for the plant's and tree's😂
Looking good 👍
I love watching this video over and over again.Has it been 7 years already?
Love that book David and refer to it often in my pursuit of a food forest. Thank you!
+Retired SeniorChief Thank you much!
Binging all your videos and learning so much, I also love your humor. When you said “you can eat the plant but it will make you go insane and bash your head against a wall” I laughed for days.
Going back and checking out some of your older videos. This is really amazing David.
Someday I, too, will become a South Floridian Plant-Garden Dudet extraordinaire. Thanks for the inspiration Mr. Good
Thank you, Ashley. Glad you're here.
Man..... that casavajuana is everywhere! Sad to see ya left this but so happy to be enjoying your new adventure!
That's awesome, I'm binge watching all of your videos, and it feels good that your food forest isnt getting destroyed
Very informative. Thumbs up!
This was a blast to watch! We just bought property west of Gainesville and I am set on turning our 10 acre yard into food forest. Thank you for documenting your journey here!
Thank you.
Hi, David! Thank you for being so sharing with your knowledge! I really enjoy your videos!! Was sad to learn you are leaving Gainesville area, but very excited you will be much closer to those of us who dwell further south. Good luck and may the Force be with you :)
+Teddy P Thank you.
This will be a nice thing for a home owner to have a link to, good going man.
Dang man, that food forest is awesome.
Thanks for the vids!
Lol, I’ve done something similar, I’m from St. Augustine, I’m in North Jutland Denmark 🇩🇰 now!
I live in Gainesville, and this is what I want to do!
Me too....1 year in and I often refer back to this video for more inspiration ...Go Gators
Did you do this yet? Its been 3 years since your post and I'm moving close to you soon. I'll be doing this same thing in the next 12 months after I move. I have to get the soil ready as it's very sandy. we should all keep in touch and help one another with projects.
@@richverreault We moved out to a plot and have been slowly starting to move things in that direction. We have some sand out here and A LOT of clay. Slow and steady.
@@Corvus-fw2hr Awesome, congrats on that! God bless you!
Thank you for sharing this 🙏wonderful garden tour
I'm excited for you that you have moved on to new challenges but sad at the same time that you have left Florida because I have avidly watched what you are up to because I'm in SW Florida and just trying to get something of a food forest going. Best of luck with your endeavor down south.
thank you so much . I live in Maine . and I love spring and summer gardening here .. and I'm looking forward to creating a Spectrum pattern in the universe where we flow and live in Florida 6 months out of the year and farm. thank you very much. bless you. and remember. Jesus Christ saves our hearts.
DTG's pick-up line: "Check out my loquat!" I bet that's how he got Rachel to say yes!
I told her I was really into propagation.
I'm from South Florida but it's to cold up there. My matto is if iguanas can't survive there I don't wanna live there
Yeah, I like that!
😃😁😂
wow, my dream property
I had to watch it again, thanks! And I posted it to my fb, as it is finally fall planting time!
Why did you leave this paradise??? Oman....😭 im sure you miss all of this. And you are so so sO knowledgeable
I miss it, but I left because I believe the US is not going to be a good place to live for much longer.
This has to be my all time favorite. Any time I need a laugh, I watch the first 10 minutes or so, and laugh myself silly!!! :-D
"IT'S POT!"
David The Good LOLOLOL!!!!! :-D
I want to have a garden in south florida and I am inspired with you
.and I hope to see how I can do....mall berries sounds good for my first tree..thank you for everything you do...empowering those who have no idea
Thank you, Ed. Mulberries are the best - you'll love how abundant and fast they produce.
my friend in san diego had a foreclosure, he let me dig up two guavas and a ton of aloe vera and an orange tree, the guavas were out front and we drove by it a couple years later and one of the guavas regrew from the roots and is still growing.
That's really cool.
Good video 🐝🐝🐝✌️
New subscriber here via Vox's blog. Massive respect on your accomplishments. Looking forward to more of your content.
Thank you. Welcome.
Nice work on the grafts! Mulberries are rad, I got 2 of them doing well here in the seattle area!
Oh yeah hoping I can do like this love it.
You can do it!
I just planted a red mulberry!
Nice, I'm trying to get one going here..,
Have you been back to see it since you left? Love it.
I did, in 2019 - lots of citrus there!
what a lovely garden, lovely soil,and just listen to the birds! Will you continue to video native plants, or will you go tropical? Thanks for the knowledge and the tours.....
I just found your channel and watched this video. I subscribed so I can see more. I want to grow a food forest too. I have 10 acres in Arizona to work with. What state did you move to?
4 years later and I’m watching this for the first time. Sucks that most of the people in the world don’t care for plants enough to grow their own, they rather buy it.
Wow. Those Illinois Mulberry trees get huge quick don't they? I'm a huge fan of mulberries. Can i grow them in Central Florida?
Yes on both.
Kafer lime leaves! I buy them here in Thailand and put them in my soup.
They are amazing.
I swear that log on the right, just before sir turns around at the 6:00 mark looks like a dead horse head. LOL
Food forest mafia!
David do you ever hear from the new owner of your old food forest in northern FL? I'd love to know how all the trees are doing. Just watching your farewell tour for inspiration.
Max Well me too
Yes please update
@@humanfirst8981 where did you settle in FL
This is great!
I'm in my second winter on a property that had nothing but sandspurs.
Twenty plus trucks of wood chips, slowly taking an area and expanding.
This gave me some ideas on planting, because I'm from the Pacific Northwest and have no experience in warm climate.
If I may ask, what part of Florida is this, as I'm in the panhandle.
wait, no pot?
So what do you do with all these plants?
Do you... you just...eat it?
+TheLordHumungus LOL
Cuba 90 mile away from florida but it has California soil and weather to grow all year long , red clay soil and white sandy beaches , go even further south .
I went a lot further south - I'm in Central America now.
My goal is too buy a nice house with 2 acre or little more and grow my Fruit tree , property in south florida are sky rocket $$$$ but my brother in law has 10 acre and starting to grow new fruit tree , he has plenty of lychee and logon, and mamey , he is doing good with the tax break for grower , good luck ,where did you go to in central America ,and what you growing plan .
Hi David
Where can I buy property like this ? I am getting into gardening and permaculture and might buy this rather then a golf lawn home in north Florida preferably Orlando area or maybe Brovard county.
Gotta get out into the areas zoned "A1". Call a real estate agent in the county you're interested in and say you want ag zoning. It's WAY freer.
I want to learn more about the gummy bear plant at 5 minutes and 55 seconds.
I would LOVE to purchase a food forest.
I think the mustard is a garlic mustard.. it's invasive where I am
You will NEVER get rid of that root beer plant. Been trying for 10 years.
Are you going to take some of your favorite seeds or plant with you to the new place in case there may not have them where you are going?
"trees' a timebomb waiting to drop" ---> crouches below tree to look at blackberry...
"check out my loquat!!"
Excuse me, what did you say to me?
27:56 Come-along? Ratcheting tie-strap? clicky puller thingy?
+TheLordHumungus Knockerdoodle! BTW, I had a dream the other night that you brought over some french toast that was laced with heroin. No lie.
+David The Good
Had to be a dream. In real life I would have called it Freedom Toast
+TheLordHumungus So. Much. Win.
What's been your experience with tree collards in the central florida region?
Mine all died the first year - they got killed in the heat of summer.
what country did you move to continue gardening
Well.. has the new owner updated you on the project?
What areas in south Florida do you find country land like that?
I may have missed it, but a rather precise citation of your location would be useful. I am in Pace, FL and I found your video fascinating. I am guessing Navarre for you, but that is just a guess.
I was a little north of Ocala.
Nice. Thanks for sharing. Curious what is your yard size, 1 acre? what city is this?
One acre, Anthony, Florida.
The 'planned wasp nest' idea intrigues me, but do you have any trouble with them damaging the wood in the fence?
+leoncaruthers No I haven't. I leave wood everywhere and they seem to prefer all those natural pieces to the fencing.
Good to know, thanks.
Would you use a Roto-tiller to improve the ground? Perhaps in between the plantings? Or is simple chop and drop preferred?
Chop and drop is probably better for a food forest.
hey, another great vid man.whats the latin name for the big leaved root beer plant.?? Such an amazing, inspiring food forest youve created there, thanks for sharing, good luck with future endeavours. peace
+Harry Hasek Thank you. It's Piper auritum.
another question, how cold does it get where your at, and for how long.? what 'zone' are you in.?
peace
+Harry Hasek We're on the edge of zone 8 and 9, according to the older USDA Zone chart (the new one is definitely not correct). Coldest I've seen was 12 degrees F overnight. The freezes are for a very short duration, however, so the tropical plants (like P. auritum) come back from the ground after winter.
cool, I live in London, UK and we're supposedly in zone 9b which suggests i can grow the majority of the plants in this video + even more tropical things. nobody seems to be doing so tho, maybe im missing something.. peace.
Hi I knew that you were on the move but are the people who’s buying you property will carry on with all your plants ? If they don’t I am very sure that they will chop so many of the plants away. And that’s hurt. Could you take some with you to where ever you going to?
I envy you. I live in oklahoma and the drought and winds of 35-40 mph and gusts to 50 in the Spring, has been so bad that I have been forced to leave my beloved tropicals inside with a humidifier. I would love to take my green thumbs down there. Sigh...
Hey David. I've done everything I can to keep nut grass out of my food forest and it's just taken over now... I literally have to mow my garden... I've used piles and piles of wood chips and cardboard and leaves and I just can't keep it out. Any suggestions??
From this video I can tell that I probably need to get more trees growing to maybe shade the nut grass out?
Kevin Pitts I tried ammonia on the individual plants. Don't pull it up, the root noduals stay in ground and grow.
Nancy Fahey, did the ammonia work on it?
Kevin Pitts finally got out there to see, looks like it did work, it was so bad, now its clear except there's another dumb weed in its place. I did this 2 years ago and remember it being dry weather.
water it, lay down a thick layer of cardboard and mulch it, or cover it with black plastic for a few weeks until it is all dead, make sure to water it first to germinate all the seeds.
Hey david the good i am new to you but i have always loved the idea of gardening and i have.attempted to do traditional gardening. I live in Jacksonville so n florida climate. So i am a little turned off by all the challenges of gardening in this are number one being the flooding and number two being the freezing! What kind of ways did you handle this kind of thing when you were up here? Especially since i dont have 5 or 6 years of growth to protect it.
Pleased to meet you. Yes - you are in between the tropics and the cold there. I tested crops from similar climates and ended up putting all the successes in my book TCEFG (amzn.to/2KzcNJQ). In a nut shell, you will have great success planting crops well adapted to the climate. Everglades tomato, Seminole pumpkin, yard-long beans, okra, dent corn, taro, African yams (Dioscorea species), sweet potatoes, etc. And getting the timing right is important - the summer is a bad time to garden in Florida. Early spring and fall were my best times for gardening.
thanks David! did you self publish your books on Amazon? ----congrats on the awesome career
Amazon for the kindle versions. The paperback versions go through a printer.
this might be a dumb question.., but what is a nitrogen fixer.., I assume it's something that helps balance the soil??
Wait yucca root comes from cassava? 🤯 I always thought it came from yucca tree lol
Different. Yuca is cassava. Yucca is a different family of plants.
Hey David i have a question for you. i here many people grafting would do best for avocado plants do you think it would work just growing from seed?
Yes, you can just grow from seed. It takes longer, but works well.
Where do i get mulberry seedling?
I live in Seattle.
Did you use your angel trumpets for chop n drop?
No, I just grew them because they were pretty.
@@davidthegood they are. I have 4 of them. Would it be non advisable? Being the hallucinating factor!
David which species of the Paulownia would you mention for Florida? I think I have heard Fortunei before but want to confirm.
+Retired SeniorChief I haven't grown all of them but have heard P. fortunei and P. elongata do well here. P. tomentosa I know does well - I've seen that one.
where in north florida is this food forest that you had?
need point of refference as to number of chill hours etc...
thanks.
Between Ocala and Anthony. Zone 8b/9a. Usually 200-400 chill hours.
You don’t get mosquitos breeding in those biomass ponds?
We put mosquito fish in them. They eat the larva.
@@davidthegood wow awesome!
Where in North Florida was this?
what's going on mr david the good. i kept seeing that you are no longer doing this!
I sold the property and moved to Central America - we are hunting for land here, then I'll create a new food forest. I do miss the old one, though.
How north are you? I'm in Lecanto (central, west, 10 minutes from gulf) and afraid to plant the moringa in the ground.
I live between Bushnell and floral City. I planted 3. I think you're safe.
This place for sale?
I had mysore raspberry in central fl but it died could i get some root stocks
7:54 dem loquats tho...
TheLordHumungus I'm saying those things are pumping
Where to?
+mrd05d Ft. Lauderdale - my home town.
Ok... I got busy for 3 months... Now you aren't in Florida any-longer?
the ficus palmata should taste like a zesty fig
How much food can you get out of the plot of land? Thank you!
We got about 1000lbs in 2015 before moving. I am confident I could have doubled or tripled that in a couple more years of work, though.
How far south for tropical?
About Palm Beach is where things get really tropical.
Are you moving to South E. Fl. or even more tropical area? I'm in Riverview and even though I have many sub tropicals I
am seeking acreage in S.E. Fl. to do a tropical food forest.
I am in Central America now, so yes - I am in the total tropics at this point.
@@davidthegood Looking forward to watching your future videos. God bless and good luck.
Thank you, Randy.
is cassava and yucca root I have heard its yucca here in ca socal to be exact its spelled yucca at stores like stater bros and ralphs can someone clarify
"Yucca" is a common misspelling of the Spanish "yuca." "Yucca" are actually big, spiky plants, not the root crop cassava. I've even seen Master Gardeners using the wrong name. Cassava = yuca. Thanks for stopping by.
43:38 What bird is that singing?
How do you spell Seralum Purslane at 38.47?
It's Surinam
Looking forward to your upcoming tropical marijuana plantation ;)
what county was this in?
just heard you say Gainesville
Do you use azomite for your garden and trees?
I have not, but I would if I lived back in Florida now.
At 24:38 here it is www.ufrgs.br/fitoecologia/florars/open_sp.php?img=743
Trump 2016 2020 2024 ✌🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻
ANYTHING PAST ORLANDO DIES AND YOU NEED TO START ALL OVER AGAIN , BUT SOUTH FLORIDA IT GROW FOREVER AND FAST .
South Florida is much easier, but you can get some good things going north of Orlando. I was a bit south of Gainesville when I created this food forest. It's just a matter of picking the right varieties for the climate. I had to say a long, sad goodbye to most tropical fruit trees.
SHOW ME A MANGO TREE IN ORLANDO OR FAR NORTH IN FLORIDA ,
