Yeah, Edible Forest Gardening is one of the best permaculture designs. But somehow, other designs (raised beds, sheet mulching, swales & ponds) as well work in such a way: when built require almost no work except harvest, regenerate and nurture itself, naturally harvesting water, etc
But that is the whole point -- doing it in large urban areas where a mass amount of people need food and access to healthy food. Big scale is great, as in food forests that feed an entire community, but these block farms are extremely important and teach and reach a lot of the SF community.
Technically, permaculture is synergy maximization in applied ecology. Much more than a kind of gardening, this synergy maximization principle has been also applied to economy in "Blue Economy". "Solving all world's problem" is not so much overstated, as in permaculture, in addition to economic benefit, you get social, ethical and ecological benefit. what other problem the world have when economical, social, ethical and ecological are gone ?
You are right about it being the way people were producing food before we got all chemicals/profit crazy, but if you say permaculture is a kind of gardening you are missing much of the concept.
The point of permiculture is permanent agriculture. Whilst what you are doing here is admirable, it is not permaculture. I do wish you guys all the best with your food production! :)
You ever look into Permaculture forests? This thing not explained in this video is the fact that the original designer of these things was building entire permaculture forests, that once built, never required work from people again. The food worked to regenerate itself and spread in a natural way,. It took the energy and work of farming and made it obsolete once the forest was set up. The more land you have, the more abundance of food you have. Bill Mollison Permaculture . TH-cam it.

Has anyone tested the soil for lead and other contaminants before planting?

I wish more people like this would leave the cities and come to the country side and do this BIG scale :)
