Summary: TweetThree weeks ago I did a show called Food Forestry and How it Actually Works. In that show I asked for specific food forest questions. The response was so heavy that a two weeks ago I did Episode-1251- Food Forest Questions and Answers – Part One and wasn’t able to cover all the questions by a long shot. So then last week we did Episode-1258- Food Forest Questions and Answers – Part Two and we are still now far from done. Given the huge volume of questions it is clear there is a tremendous amount of interest in this topic and there should be. Nothing can provide the sustainable food and resources like a well managed forest be it small or large. If you didn’t listen to the first three shows, you might want to do so before listening to this show. The reason being is that this show is a direct result of questions that I asked the audience to send me at the end of the first show and the answers given on the next two. Hence much of what was covered there I will be assuming you have already heard today. The reality is a food forest is both simple and quite complex at the same time. The complexity is based on the system that develops, the massive numbers of interrelationships and the fungal networks, guilds, etc that are formed. Join Me Today As I Answer Your Questions Including… How do you deal with land that is already forested Determining spacing of plantings Determining spacing of swales How far down grade of a swale can you plant, it depends Dealing with Squirrels Dealing with pest invasive insects, why you should not even worry about them How species and sector analysis play into food forest design How long does it take to get an ROI on a food forest How many types of ROI can a food forest yield Resources for today’s show… The Year 1263 Join Our Forum 13Skills.com Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom Get TSP Copper Sentinels TSP Gear PermaEthos.com The Berkey Guy – (sponsor of the day) JM Bullion – (sponsor of the day) Dave Wilson’s Article on Back Yard Orchard Culture Deep Green Permaculture Article on Back Yard Orchard Culture Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.
