    I came across a food forest channel on TH-cam a few years ago and it was really interesting to me. I was in the process of buying my homestead but didn’t live on it yet. I watched videos and did a lot of research so I knew what I could grow when I did move onto it. I paid it off in February of 2019 and moved a mobile home onto it in June or July of 2019. I started planting my 1st trees around that time. I was excited. Now I have over 100 food producing trees,vines and bushes growing. It’s not even half way done yet.

      I think the Chanel is Robert Fuller, in England - his estate is beautiful, and he's so knowledgeable on plants and wildlife.

    • @terracottaneemtree6697

      I always enjoy watching P. Allen Smith's channel, fyi.

    • @terracottaneemtree6697
      @terracottaneemtree6697 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmm, so he uses a scythe but doesn't till up the soil to disrupt unwanted roots? I enjoy learning these things.

    As a food forest gardener, orchardist, flock keeper, I learned something new in every minute of your video. The inserted clips that demonstrated the concept discussed were so helpful, too! I hope you'll continue to give updates, show your brilliant care tips, and know you're helping many who seek the same goals! Thank you so much! Can't wait to enjoy the whole channel, brilliant!

    I accidentally stumbled onto this video and am so glad I did. 🤗
    I used to spend my summers in Bowie with my Aunt as a child. I remember my uncle being so mad about the building up of the area he lived in. It's so nice to see someone reclaiming some of the land in a positive way.
    Thank you for healing a little piece of the earth and for teaching others how important it is to do so. The land and the animals thank you. 😊

      @ForestedVideo  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Hi Kelly - that's so good to hear. I grew up in Bowie and was sad to see so many forests and fields get developed. I see forest gardening as one way that people and the forest can thrive together. If you're ever in Bowie please stop by the garden!

    • @kellyeckley5829

    I totally agree about the paths.
    If you can walk on a forest, you enjoy it more and are therefore more inclined to want to keep it.
    Also the paths provide an environment for some plants that need a little bit more sun, usually grass, bushes and they bring flowers, who bring insects.
    Paths help to enrich your forest.

    Hi you can make elderberry syrup. You will need 40 flowers, just opened or unopened; 3kg of sugar; 4 lemons; 5lit of water. No pasteurization needed. 36-48h and filter it before bottling.
    Pruned foliage of elderberry can help your potatoes you can use it for mulching and as raw food for the tubers

  • @elisabettaepiney9896

    Acorns are difficult to process but! U can break them up between an old pare of jeans with a hammer or rock and feed a protein/fat Rich food to ur chickens because you don’t have to leach out the tannins for them (the bitter part)

    I have my little urban food forest going at my home in the city and it's been able to produce a bit of food for me already. Many things won't produce for years to come, but once they do, I believe I'll have some pretty incredible foods that travel nowhere to get to my kitchen.
    I always hear people say they spend $500 to make $2 of lettuce, but it's far more than that. It's trucks not having to drive that lettuce. It's tractors and many other gas powered vehicles having to work towards growing them on a commercial farm. It's having produce that's grown in the exact environment that I live.

    When we moved into our place it was full of mice. We put down a live trap and collected them. Then we took the lot to our town compost site where pumpkins and gourds had reseeded themselves. The compost heaps were warm in the middle. I felt such peace.

    Persimmon yogurt smoothies are my favorite way to use the fruit. The sweet/tart balance is amazing, and frozen persimmons work well.

    Elderberries was a big deal for the Vikings. A symbol of fertility and the plant of Freja, the goddess of fertility and love.
    In the middle ages and later there was a lot of superstition surrounding it. Dont sleep under it! You will go cracy.
    And its bad luck to chop it down.
    Still today it is used for many kinds of food here in Denmark.

    • @ForestedVideo
      @ForestedVideo  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      So cool! I love the old stories and special connections to plants from traditions around the world. And point well taken - I will make sure I don't sleep under my Elderberry bushes!

    Lots of good insights! I’m working on my 4 acre silvopasture with fruit, nut, and legume trees along with sheep, chickens, a pig and one cow. Prunings become fodder for the animals and then the woody leftovers become biochar feedstock which then gets spread back on the silvopasture. Seems to be working well!

    Very much interesting i like the way in which you have involved lots of people in building these gardens and i had learned a lot i didn’t even how there were thornless black berries
    There in England we have lots and lots of berry’s grown so wild but its a struggled in picking them because of the thorns.its so great to see the vegetations of the fields that we can lived off instead of having meats and chickens in our diets but its all up to the individuals it living with choices.

  • @svensebastianhorner
    @svensebastianhorner 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Awesome how your pushing on the acorns!
    The part about the american groundnut growing along the non-native plants is great demonstration of the permaculture principle 'observe and interact' + 'obtain a yield' / 'catch and store energy'.
    And there is many more great examples in this video.
    Love to see the principles heavily in use.
