Justification for Food Forestry

If by now you are willing to take the leap into food forestry, you first need to know what it is. It is NOT a jungle that you have difficulty walking through without a machete. Oh, no. it is a pleasant place that you can design yourself by following existing examples.

Today there are many of them, and you can find out more from YouTube videos and online sites that teach these methods in a flash. Taking the examples from these experts who have already done the experimentation in many different types of soil and water situations, even dire ones, and learn what they wish to teach you. Their hearts are in the right place.

Your ability to follow this trend is simple at best, and as complex as you wish to make it. You can start with one fruit tree, a couple of berry bushes and some plants below them like perennial vegetables and herbs.

You get to choose them!

After finding out which ones grow well in your part of the world, it’s simple to find others who are planting these plants, either online or in person, to ask their good advice on what to do. Finding local plant sales or people who wish to donate their pruning trimmings or plant cuttings can keep all expenses to a minimum.

And the outcome is YEARS of harvesting as a treasure that boggles the mind.

What are you waiting for?
