Great video. We spent the covid lockdown here in Melb, digging up the entire front yard, and now have 7 dwarf fruit trees there. Along with blackberries, raspberries, watermelons, pumpkin and peas mingled in between. What amazes me, is all the neighbours walking past with only positive things to say.

What a fantastic transformation. Great job.

[@seanarmitage3261]

That's great. Good on you. I have found herbs are really easy to grow and I DON"T have a green thumb. Try to get heirloom ones though. Just in hanging pots is good. Good luck and welcome to the prepping community.

Love your garden, love even more your charming smile and the gentle way you explain things!

Hi Hannah, thank you for your version of the food forest. It is my dream to have a food forest and since moving into my house which used to be owned by some real garden and food lovers, I have found that I have some of the layers of the classic 7 layer food forest already. I have a Macadamia tree as my canopy and a Lychee tree as my second layer. I am a fan of companion planting and you describe the harmony as well as I could as an amateur musician and gardener. I was only telling my wife last night that our garden is a Zen place which to me means that I need to feel relaxed and connected to the earth after working in my garden. I have seen a few of your videos now and noticed that you didn't have your helpers. The family that plays together stays together. Love your work and look forward to more of your guiding hand in the creation of my food forest.

Great Video! Permaculture food forests are the future and they're so fun!!!

Great video Hannah you make gardening look so simple...thank you so much

[@saniquekonneh3396]

Great video

Omg, pollarded silver wattles that look 3+ years old! Wow! I've been thinking they must be the most prolific native nitrogen fixing pioneer tree in the temperate climate zone here, and seeing it in your garden gives me more confidence! Great work, thanks heaps!

[@k0mm4nd3r_k3n]

(some more pollarded than others haha)

Hm... I'm thinking of giving this a shot actually. Just three of them dotted along the strip I'm planning to use for it.

Hi Hannah, thankyou for the information I have just finished my backyard which is more "traditional" veggie patch system so am now moving onto my front yard which will be more of a food forrest, however it's got a bit of a slope and is very heavy hard clay soil, so I'll be using raised beds and tiers to help soil quality and the dwarf trees spread their roots

[@k0mm4nd3r_k3n]

Clay is fantastic for building tiers or terracing. The rule of thumb is that a forest grows on a fallen forest. I have thick clay were I am, but as long as you add organic material like leaves and branches or even traditional mulch over time for the first few years, and don't subtract organic material, your trees should establish nicely.

Yeii for food forest! I love fruit trees and a great edible landscaping. Thanks for sharing the plant names I am definitely getting some sweet alyssum!

[@austinerosita572]

Amazing work

[@monsurbanpatch]

I would love to see more food forest and permaculture videos.

[@taitbrown8919]

My understanding is that the larger leaves of Warrigal Greens contain toxic oxalates (think rhubarb leaves) and need blanching/boiling before eating. I've also heard they're pretty invasive and can really get away from you.

[@jamshidnikkerdar2074]

Great 👍 👌

[@monsurbanpatch]

It's funny how the carrots roots aree at the same depth of the canopy tree LOL.

[@lesliekendall2206]

Allysum small and compact ??? Not the ones I've grown! And a source says not to eat unless started from seed as store bought plants may have pesticides, etc on them.

[@arahpanah5939]

Everyday is hollyday .

[@LureThosePixels]

Is this the same location as the "how to grow on a slope" garden

[@k0mm4nd3r_k3n]

Nope, although, it is an element in this design for sure.

[@maffewranglar9464]

Is that it?

[@Kratkymethod]

Nice video! I’m doing a hydroponics giveaway if your interested

[@captainsleeman9787]

Mint? Really? The mint will take over everything! You'll have to remove it, disrupting everything else.
