Do you put the wood chips on top of the grass or do you need to dig the grass up first ?
I always enjoy your channel. Thank you I’ve learned so much! I want to extend an invitation to you. I have an idea for a video. I live in Pittstown NJ and I thought if u have time to come to my home and we can talk about possibilities with my 2 1/2 unused acres to grow food successfully. I have 3 beds, a started compost and this is my second year. Last year was ok I think for a first timer from NYC. Please, contact me if u r interested or want to talk about possibilities for new farmers. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 teenagers and twin 22 year old men. All of us are available to learn and I am always available to talk or garden anytime!! Thank you again for all you teach! Hugs and kisses for Tuck!! 908-319-0056
Just found this video, I am starting a food forest, exactly what I needed, thanks a lot
Need to make 2021 the year i became self sufficient
Guy realy good explains big love
Ay, Richards,you speak so quikly ,I 'm lost. Some subtitles would help.
Thanks a lot.
DO NOT PUT RAW WOODCHIPS IN A BACK TO EDEN GARDEN. (Compost them for 6-12 months)
much love and gratitude
puhwhats goin' on! how can you not love that guy. 💚 subed to you too✌️
Awesome info. Just got a 2-acre ranch on dry land ): but this gives me hope. I subscribed to learn more- thank you!
Did you put the wide chips down after you planted the trees and fruit
Oxe esse magão tá aí é?? Sou inscrito do canal dele esse cara é foda, parabéns meu velho.
Awesome 👍….to see both of you guys in the same video!!!….The only way it could be better??? Is if Charles Dowding's were in it , too😀
I am some practical questions/requests/ideas: it would be great if there was an online resource second list off plants and trees based on what part of the canopy layers they like to occupy. Obviously a Vining plant is going to be a vine; what is an oak tree for example canopy or sub canopy?
Also how close together would you want to plant canopy trees? Suppose I have 100 acres and I wanna make the whole hundred acres a food forest do I wanna cover the whole thing and canopy trees every square 200 feet? More? less?
Lastly it would be nice to have a list of what food producing trees are sub canopy trees. When I think of fruit trees like citrus plums or apples I typically think of them in full sunlight not under the canopy of taller trees. Or perhaps we want these trees planted between the larger canopy trees where there is sunlight? It would be nice to maybe just have a little clarification on that.
Thank you both, I love what you doing!
Is it possible to do this methods in Egypt in our deserts?
If possible may I ask for help ?
Two of my favourite gardeners in one video!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍😍
I I live in the tropics – Nigeria.
My lawn is poor because it was filled with red laterite sand years back. We what can I do to turn it into a mini food forest.
Can I use wood shavings from the sawmill since I don't know whether the wood is treated or not? I only have access to the shavings from the sawmill. I need to know, please.
Well done you young guys are the future fantastic content
Having worked at many nurseries don't give them that much credit. Most are as bad as box stores.
Thanks the great vids btw
Thank you for all the great tips!!!
I love this food forest style! I am in the process of converting my lawn into my Victory kitchen garden… I will certainly keep these great tips in mind! I want to become more self-sustainable and help the community! I love growing food!!! I come from a farming family and until recently we bought our own home so I am so excited to put into work the old and the new!
Thank you very much!
“All-natural forest have 7 layers:
1. Canopy Trees – example mulberry
2. Subcanopy tree – example apple, pear and peach trees
3. Bush layer – example blueberries and raspberries
4. Herbaceous layer – example annuals like tomatoes and peppers.
5. Groundcover – example strawberries
6. Climbers/ vining – example grapes
7. Root crops – example carrots and horseradish
Have faith and resistance!”
Great Tips. I especially like the 7 levels explained from minute 2:35 to 3:57.
Dhruv rathi is that you?
Hows the termites..?
TLC = enjoy the work of nature, raindrops, sunlight, polinators, ……= profit from hard work in time !!
You forgot the most important tip: Garden Security, taught by Tuck!
Here in Java, we got so many degenerate land after extensive plantation is actually a good idea to make it a forest?
because the contractor wants that land to build housing.
the chips will sour the soil, forest plants will love it, but most annual plants don't. This is why you will only see these niche of plants where the soil is disturbed, within a forest area that is…
you'll need to add stuff to the soil to grow annual plants or you'll outright fail with them on that thick layer of mulch.
Awesome video!!
I was shocked to see James come walking out yet not surprised because I have been learning from James since I started wanting to garden. You know when the pandemic hit. And you can learn so much from him and we all know knowledge is power. So let's grow y'all.
This video was clear, concise and packed with information. In a short time I felt like I was really able to grasp such an incredible journey! I can tell just how passionate James is about this, he didn't even have to say it. It emanates from his energy and the diligence he put behind his presentation. Thanks for sharing this!
I discovered the Forest M.O. Method ("FoMo") by accident as the neighbors tree encroached. I planted Fruit trees and been throwing down Pine Nuggets for years now and gardening around and within it. Yep, 7 layers of lovin'! Nuggets seemed easier to rake off the Pin Oak aftermath, and retain more mulch. Creating the environment and stealing my neighbors worms for years gives me much satisfaction! Remember, if your gonna grow, go FoMo!
The soil of my country is so fertile that it automatically turns into a forest after a year if kept untouched, its Bangladesh 😇
Awesome
We are in river bottom, pure sand under a foot of topsoil. Flat terrain. We have not had good results with fruit trees at all. Anyone know any way to remedy this?
What Mike Bloombuger said just makes me like him less, Elitist🤑😘🌎🕊a Green thumb is a blessing, not the sign of an idiot.
hi,im from philippines and i really love to have this way of gardening,,but im afraid of snake that might incounter in this way of gardening
Excellent video! Thank you!
So….all I have to do to convert my lawn to a food forest is have faith that at some point in my life I'll have enough dosh…lots of dosh…to buy trees, plants, wood chips etc, etc, the vast amount of time required to set up & nurture the thing & the persistance to keep at it for several years before getting any half decent result?
All very well to go look at your local forest, take note of nature at work & replicate it so long as one takes into account the time it's taken nature…a bloody long time. Long enough to make a quick trip to the veggie stall once a week for more than enough fruit/veg for ten quid seem far more attractive. Yeah, I get it…..healthier food, healthier mind/body, self-sufficiency, the joys of being more in touch blah, bloody blah…..but the vast majority of us are trying to keep our ever growing debt to a minimum or struggling to keep the electricity on…we don't have the luxury to play, bouncy, gleaming, isn't life cool, Nature Boy I'm sorry to say.
Can this work well in the Midwest? Mainly Illinois.
Do you recommend a wood chipper or where do you get all the wood chips? I have plenty of branches I could chip from my property
I'm just studying permaculture as I plan to scale up my ambitions.
Before the lockdown, I was planning to study English forests to see what works….I noticed there are usually several layers missing.
A lot of the lower layers seem missing…
Am I looking wrong or have we ruined the natural harmony in our environments?
I don't yet know WHAT is missing, only that there are clear holes in several different woods I've been to.
Very useful tips. Got new ideas. Thanks alot
