We Turned Our Yard Into A Food Forest During Quarantine | Epic Garden Tour

[@samanthalee2589]

I’m a 20 year old uni student studying business and property in New Zealand, but creating a food forest on my forever home is my dream!

[@mixofortune7751]

Same here that's where my heart is suppose to be.

[@moonorchid9242]

I’m not in my forever home but I’m currently in the process of creating a food forest of sorts. It’s going to mostly be structured with raised beds and container gardening but I’m going to use up as much of my space as possible to grow a huge variety of food year round

[@laraandrews9710]

Check out Geoff Lawtons food forest. He is one of the best here in Australia

[@majasmith3578]

Oooh my goodness, Im a Uni student in South Africa and my whole being longs to have my own garden with a food forrest. The amount of times Ive watched Geoff Lawson or Gotche videos and literally cried. Glad to hear its not just me!

I love the kiss to the first mango! I waited 8 years to get persimmons on trees from seed. It was elation picking 541 persimmons several years later. Last year we picked our first and only pawpaw. It was a holy moment. May God’s glory fill the earth. Thanks for sharing your family garden experience!

[@TaylorRaine]

541!!! Thats crazy! I can't even imagine 500 mangos...maybe one day :)

[@carolmaro]

YES!! 🙌

[@KatE-ww2rc]

Ideally plant local natives or non-invasive! I say that mainly cuz mint can be quite invasive in my area so they should be in containers (in my area).

[@Neverenough2]

Great advice

[@yenchu1237]

I will, when I moved into my new house with a garden. At present, I can only plant in containers.

[@1BobsYourUncle]

What a beautiful and inspiring video! We moved to Puerto Rico and live in the true tropics on a little finca (farm) and are growing many, many trees and plants as well. Unfortunately there are no large size tree nurseries so all of ours are taking a long time, but we are finally reaping the harvest of our labor over the years too. I need to make a food forest video like this. We have some videos about our gardens in general, but the food forest alone would be great to showcase.

[@tl7239]

true blessing is not the garden or the house. its a spousal bond you and your husband have. To work together with joy and love your kids. That is real blessing that God has bestowed

[@GraceInnovations]

What an awesome video, and such an inspiring story! Everyone should be doing this with their families, it teaches the next generation that hard work pays off more than just cars or other unimportant material possessions.

[@rexmonarch2]

June 2021 we moved from Colorado to coastal Southwest Florida. We are turning our 1/2 acre property into combinaton food forest and pollinator sanctuary. Anyway, I planted a passion fruit vine for the fritillary butterflies and it's the wildest growing plant ever. It's used up all the space of an oak and palm trellis I built -- and now it's reaching out trying to grab onto other trellises.

[@maloucampbell8124]

[@Conceptsexplainedsimply]

I love that you made this investment. What's staggering to me is that the cost of all these plants is easily into the thousands by my guess work. If I could, I would be planting so many more food forest friends in my yard, but the money hasn't been there with surprises life has sent. I love seeing people do this with their yards, and thank you for sharing this.

[@TaylorRaine]

HI! Thank you for watching :) I talk a bit about the cost and how we afforded it in my Q &A video that you can find on my channel. In short, we spread the cost out over a year, all of our "disposable income" went into it, and we hunted out a lot of bargain nurseries and small growers in our area. For example, the fruiting olive trees in the front were around $130/ each. Which is a lot less than most people imagine for such large trees. Manny of our trees were even less expensive, coming in around the $50 range. So instead of going out to eat - we were going out to plant 😂

[@Conceptsexplainedsimply]

@@TaylorRaine you did well with those prices! I can tell y’all hunted around for it all, and I love that. You’ve obviously done super well with the place and I love how many varieties of things you have. I’m in zone 6, so it’s got me a bit jealous that you have olives, avocados, and bananas. I’m doing a lot of berries, stone fruits, and apples here.

[@TaylorRaine]

@@Conceptsexplainedsimply I moved here from zone 7a so I get ya! We did have great peaches over there though. My mother in law is still in Arkansas and has had a ton of luck with asian pears! maybe that is something you could add to your mix if you don't already have them. I've read about bananas that can grow in Zone 6, but I'm not sure if they produce any fruits. Could make for some fun summer foliage though. Good luck out there!

[@adams7833]

Nice work. I'm in Riverside county doing the same thing on my 2.5 acres. I'm doing rare fruit trees primarily, Mulberry, ice cream bean, guavas, black and white sapote, mango, Jamaican cherry. I hope those suggestions are beneficial to you. It's amazing

[@matthewfarrell317]

Greetings from another climate similar to yours. Down here in a currently cold Melbourne lol. We did the same thing when the lockdowns started, planted a food forest and a backyard orchard. It has been an amazing journey, and the kids love the food coming out, only a few weeks ago we stopped getting two punnets of raspberries a day. For me the most rewarding is finding new plants, I know juneberries are common to Americans but here took me a year to find a single tree and so worth it. Or the best yet is discovering our native bushfoods, things you will never find in the shops. If you ever get a chance check out Australian bush tucker plants, Midyims, Muntries, apple berries, the salt bushes (old man and ruby), native elderberry (ours can be eaten freely no toxicity at all), lilly pillies (bush cherry and riberry). All of them should grow there easily and I promise will add a unique flavour.

I love that the little children can wander to their hearts' content, strengthening their bodies and benefiting from the nourishing produce fresh as possible. No doubt your whole family sleep deeply at night! I pray your gardens continue to flourish, and the root structures reinforce the soil to hold in heavy rains should they occur. I am located in northern Canada with just a few months yearly for outdoor gardening of any kind, so I appreciate your continuous growing season and abundant sunshine. THANK YOU for sharing your agricultural experiences with us; truly an inspiration! God Bless You and protect your land!

Thank you for doing this. And your children will benefit from the education and the organic foods. I love love love this!!!

[@justanotheritalian5152]

As a suggestion you should go on holiday in my region and learn to make "muretti a secco", dry walls, so typical of Ligurian (Italy) landscape. Your garden doesn't look steep at all compared to some parts of my Mediterranean region where the only flat thing is the sea :) Dry walls made of stones give you more workable space for growing your plants and trees and help retain water but also release it when there is just too much rain. They are also much easier to walk around if you incorporate some steps here and there. The ones in my Grandpa's farm were all built over 70 years ago with stones taken from the nearby river, still standing today. Anyway your project is amazing and very inspiring!

[@TaylorRaine]

I enjoyed watching your video, I am in the process if trying to start gardening, so far I have killed 2 Basils, 3 pepper trees, an eggplant and an Onion plant .. trying not to get discouraged, looking at what you and your husband was able to do has inspired me to not give up. Can you tell me what you used to keep oest and fungus away because that has been my biggest problem. I am from the Caribbean by the way.😊

[@TaylorRaine]

Hi! We opt for organic treatments for pests and fungus . For pests we have released thousands of lady bugs (easily purchased from a garden center). Neem oil spray helps with some fungus 🤍

[@lucyf9452]

Fungus can be addressed by spraying with a baking soda and water solution on leaf undersides and atop the foliage, and cutting down leaves underneath that aren't needed for the fruit; this lets air circulate, lets sun in to quickly dry the dampness. Be Frequent! Lay out leaves beneath or rot them as a foot path through your plot; nutrients return to the soil quicker. Dishes of cheep beer entice slugs away from plants. Sharp egg shells on the soil surface cut them and other crawlies. It's worth researching further. Companion planting with flowers like Marigolds are natural pesticides set in amongst your veggie plants, just notice in videos. I'm in northern Canada where the season is so short. Have fun and remain Blessed!

We are building our retirement home in a community ruled by an HOA. We applied for an exception to put some fruit trees on our lot and were turned down, so we planted various different fruit 'bushes' instead! They weren't happy about it, but they didn't have anything in their silly rule book against the type of bushes we could plant! We also put up a lovely arbor and somehow we now have grape vines growing on it! I think birds must have dropped some seeds in the 'wrong' place one night...around 3 am if I'm not mistaken! And my neighbors LOVE it so we are working to get some of these rules changed. I have some raised beds that are allowed so I also grow some different greens and lots of herbs.
