Nitrogen fixers release nitrogen from roots, not via chop and drop (edit: chopping/pruning makes the roots self-prune and release the N, so technically it is from chop and drop but its NOT in the leaves)
Awesome! I am in Coastal Mississippi, in a couple of mile strip that is also 9a, so I was particularly interested. I am watching all kinds of northern abs central Florida vids right now. Wow! You have done a great job in a small space. Thanks for the inspiration.
For those of you who are not aware, this place is located on HWY 27 in Lake Wales in central Florida. They train people to go to third world countries to set up and train the locals on sustainable gardens. They also sell a lot of their plants to help fund the non profit. Almost all questions you have listed here can be answered on their website heartvillage.org. My mom and I go there periodically to purchase plants. They have a number of unusual varieties. They also have training workshops.
You were attacked by fire ants. Posting for any who aren't aware, if you put any type of vinegar immediately on the bites, it neutralizes the formic acid=relief! I keep a bottle handy wherever fire ants are present. Would love to see a follow up of what this plot looks like now.
love you guys! One of my rules when i started my yard was it had to be all free, i'll trade, or sell my plants to buy new plants but thats it and will never spend 1 penny on any type of soil ammendment etc.. and no power tools ever and ive done it ..its incredible..thank you bill mollison..permaculture..and great job there you all you make us all proud! :)
Great videos. I was looking into the H.E.A.R.T. Institute and found out I missed a great event in October. I'll keep my eyes open for the next one. I'm in Jupiter, about 2 hours south, where I've started a food forest in the past year. I find videos like this inspirational and helpful. Now I have to re-watch this video with a pen in hand to write down all those plant names.
sweet potato is one of my favorite greens here too to heck with the potato i mean those are good too but the leaves rock! love turnip green here in the winter..longetivity spinach is finally taking off in my yard and though slow to start like rosemary it is very happy now and very very tasty another one of my favorites, okinawan spinach grows good but the flavor i only like it with tuna fish! lol ..we also love to eat bidens alba for greens, a native here see it growing everywhere but it has a lot of active chemical properties so while very good for you we dont overdue that,,awesome video , thanks :)
I am inspired!!!! Great video! I've had typical gardens for years but have gotten very frustrated with bugs. After amending the soil and companion planting it seems like the bugs were always winning. Central Florida had been a challenging environment to grow in for me. I'm ready to plant my food forest!
well consider me inspired! I live near Miami and I grow many of the plants you do but you have some that ive never seen or herd and I will be looking to add them to my garden! Thanks for the info!
10:42 Whats the name for that mexican pistachio? I remember having eaten it when young in the mid part of the state of Veracruz (middle section of the Gulf of Mexico).
you know whats really funny is summer is supposed to be bad for greens but i have greens busting out everywhere 107 degrees..just bad for iceburg lettuce lol
Holy smokes. Information overload! This is a very interesting video, but you should consider it as a 'intro to....' type of video, then go into detail on each plant. I just purchased a home on a large, agriculturally zoned lot in Zone 9 of Florida and I want to learn to how go edibles. That's how I stumbled upon our video. So thanks.
Hello, i was wondering if you had any seed of these plants on your video that you can share with me and if i'm successful in growing them then i can send you the seeds back.
Indian Trumpet / Oroxylum indicum i have 4 that froze down to the ground (26F) and they all came back. I am curious about the Spondias ? and exactly what temps it took and still came back? I cant see that it would fruit if it has to regrow every year doe it ? i am in New Orleans BTW / zone 9 and am looking for edible Jatropha where can i get cuttings ?
Can you please post some stuff about Autumn and winter? Anything that keeps going for you? How do you store and preserve things? We live in zone 9 New Zealand so we get frosts normally not below -3 but occasionally -5 early in the morning, and a fair amount of rain!
Josh thanks for posting that video. Where did you get your tithonia diversifolia? I would love to grow some of those for the same purposes. I live in central fla as well in southern brevard county.
This is one of the most interesting food forest videos I've seen. I hope Josh will get a chance to do a rerun with more time to expand on the various plants. I loved the focus on green leafy vegetables and spices rather than one sugary fruit after the other. I love that he uses the Latin names to avoid confusion too. I had the feeling Josh knew a lot more about most of the plants and was in a hurry to get done to stay within the time constraints of the medium. Nonetheless it was extremely informative. He had the good taste to spare us from the formulaic tasting rituals of other video makers in this genre, who spend half the video smacking and chomping and making repetitive comments about each fruit with their mouths full, while they are sampling ALL the fruit in the food forest. Many food forests shown online are sparse, with only very small trees and little else. They do not look like ecosystems, but like immature orchards. Here we were shown a very good forest design. The space was packed with plants, a number of which were mature. The succession planting is so clever that the youth of the forest doesn't make it seem incomplete. It was a thriving system that is already impressive.
2006 it got to 24 in downtown Orlando. It was snowing when I looked outside my window on the 8th floor but when I went outside, it was rain. It was only 2 nights in a row though. Within a week or so, it was back to 50s as the low.
this is soooo kewl ! i am growing a LOT of these species, but not all and the ones i am not, i am very curious about... do you know the latin name for the Mexican mulberry ? does it also produce fruit ? I have 5 types of mulberry now. this could be a great cross with pakistan. 4 inch long fruit and edible leaves ? LOL... great video...
Hulagu Kahn look it up online, it's called mustang market and it's also called Wagon wheel market. It's two markets in one. I think the sign up front just says Wagon wheel market. It's a huge outdoor thrift market with a farmers market/fruit vendor section. There are lots of thai vendors there selling asian vegetables, trees and fruits. I go once a week. Just got a "Malay Apple" tree there. I've pretty much seen all the thai plants he's got there for the first time at Wagon wheel.
I keep hearing "it doesn't produce here " or " I don't really eat it "over and over. Where exactly are yo located ? Please list the closest town/city . I'm located near Ocala Fl. Thank you for sharing.
We have a 5 acre site in Central Florida, and we're looking for others who can help us with permaculture design to establish a food forest on our property. We also have 19 beds for those experienced in permaculture design who would like to donate time in exchange for accommodations for a period of time. Do you know of anyone who might be interested?
Could you please spell your plants? Especially the ? Pandma Sanarillo Foleus?? the Asian leaf plant that makes rice taste better, all of the long tech botany words for the plants are useless to me & I'm sure most, you say them fast and I have no idea what it is, might be nice to a fellow botanical expert, but the average person?? Kind of wasted my time watching and won't be subscribing till you start speaking average English.
Even though you are being incredibly rude...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandanus_amaryllifolius He's using scientific names to avoid confusion, common names can vary depending on what part of the state you are in.

Man, you sure packed a lot of stuff in there! You convinced me to buy a pandan plant to flavor my rice. I had not heard of them before.
Ive ordered a bunch of good seed from this man, I highly recommend him to anyone in the zone 9.
How about a 2024 update of this food forest

Heidi Embrey. I heard you can eat Biden weed. How is that done? The flower is peppery.
Nancy Fahey look it up on Greene deans “eat the weeds”, he tells all about it
I am inspired!!!! Great video! I've had typical gardens for years but have gotten very frustrated with bugs. After amending the soil and companion planting it seems like the bugs were always winning.

that one at 6:00 the soup leaves looks like Katuk, really nice nutty flavor
well consider me inspired! I live near Miami and I grow many of the plants you do but you have some that ive never seen or herd and I will be looking to add them to my garden! Thanks for the info!

Josh we had a great time at HEART... we learned soo much from you guys... The Calvary MAV group loved you guys.
Holy smokes. Information overload! This is a very interesting video, but you should consider it as a 'intro to....' type of video, then go into detail on each plant.

Really enjoyed your informative video. Please make more so we can see what grows good in our area. Thanks

Nice video. I live in Pinellas. I don't have space for much of a food forest but I do grow lots of vegetables.

i watched you on food forest or something like that. ive planted a lot, shade is good. ill watch never 2 much info, thank u
20 degrees when did that happen?
2006 it got to 24 in downtown Orlando. It was snowing when I looked outside my window on the 8th floor but when I went outside, it was rain. It was only 2 nights in a row though. Within a week or so, it was back to 50s as the low.
All the time dude
this is soooo kewl !
i am growing a LOT of these species, but not all
and the ones i am not, i am very curious about...
do you know the latin name for the Mexican mulberry ?
does it also produce fruit ?
I have 5 types of mulberry now. this could be a great cross with pakistan.
4 inch long fruit and edible leaves ? LOL...
great video...
what town and zone in I live in Hudson and trying similar style
Where does one find these unusual plant specimens (to purchase them)? What zone are you in?
yes, this is always the question when one sees the gardens of collectors
Where is that Asian market?
Hulagu Kahn look it up online, it's called mustang market and it's also called Wagon wheel market. It's two markets in one. I think the sign up front just says Wagon wheel market. It's a huge outdoor thrift market with a farmers market/fruit vendor section. There are lots of thai vendors there selling asian vegetables, trees and fruits. I go once a week.

I would have sent that pm but you don't have that option
Josh, what is the name of that Mulberry variety you said had edible leaves, please?
Your mystery tree may be Moringa. - Should also give a warning when saying the elderberry is an edible fruit... They need to be cooked.
I keep hearing "it doesn't produce here " or " I don't really eat it "over and over. Where exactly are yo located ? Please list the closest town/city . I'm located near Ocala Fl. Thank you for sharing.
NEW SUBSCRIBER !!!!
Are any of these plants invasive
Your invasive troll
So a good deal of these plants are invasive.
Pandan more importantly has a fruit which you can eat.
I saw some real tall banana near cresent city
I have 70 species of plants,' could we do a trade?
Looks like you have some cirassee there
Nice layout food forest...
Hey! You need to get back here and answer some of these questions.
Excellent excellent excellent excellent........
