EDIBLE FOREST GARDEN · Grow Food & Heal the Earth · Lessons Learned

🇱🇻 👍👍👍

I loved this video so much thanks.

Yo! Pronounced Yo-pawn. Ilex vomitoria. 🤮IE: be forewarned: not very tasty

Awesome! please go to Haiti as well

BTW, North Carolina's corn fields are a LOT bigger than Maryland's, especially east of I-95. Send some folks our way to make these food forests and maybe have a place for homeless people to live in the process.

If you have a river or creek which flows toward recreational areas without flooding things you don't want flooded, I'd suggest asking USFG for beaver to take control of creating the best wetland possible.

Cut and Come Again Zinnias are good reseeders attract hummingbirds.

As for the wild pears, those are for making glycerin soaps. Do not eat them.

Honey Berry Trees are native to the Eastern US. These days easier to get from Gurney's or Burpees.

Creeping Phlox will sandy, dusty dirt into black, rich soil if you plant enough of it. Good for yards where even grass hesitates.

Pine needles don't provide acidity to the soil- it's an old myth. Sprinkle some pure sulfur 2-3 times a year and cover with mulch, the biodiversity of the soil will turn it into nice acidic soil while 2 feet away you can grow alkanity loving plant.

This is hands down one of the best food forest videos I have ever seen… and I have seen a lot! Very inspiring and informative. Thank you for sharing

Great mission. I really like your mission where social as well as economical aspects are addressed! More of it :-) Proud member

You changed my world! So yes rediscovering aNd sharing that earth and life are a paradise is real An example of a good person, gratitude

Any updates on how everything is going?

Lincoln and team, it is so fun to see where you are 10 years later. I have always loved walking the garden and seeing all progress you have made. Well done! Keep up the great work.

Awesome how your pushing on the acorns!
The part about the american groundnut growing along the non-native plants is great demonstration of the permaculture principle 'observe and interact' + 'obtain a yield' / 'catch and store energy'.
And there is many more great examples in this video.
Love to see the principles heavily in use.

I would love to learn more about how to cook with acorns!

U need some silver maple 🍁 trees we have them everywhere in ohio,,they grow quickly

Persimmon cookies, yum!

I dont think Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab along with Monsanto will like this at all.....

You got heaven on earth.

As argentinian i drink lots of mate every day, and i find amazing having your own caffeinated species in the garden i would love to taste them

I really enjoyed this tour. And I admire your dedication. You ARE changing the world. 🌞🌱 What you have accomplished moves out in ripples, touching more and more people as it goes.

I have my little urban food forest going at my home in the city and it's been able to produce a bit of food for me already. Many things won't produce for years to come, but once they do, I believe I'll have some pretty incredible foods that travel nowhere to get to my kitchen.

I always hear people say they spend $500 to make $2 of lettuce, but it's far more than that. It's trucks not having to drive that lettuce. It's tractors and many other gas powered vehicles having to work towards growing them on a commercial farm. It's having produce that's grown in the exact environment that I live.

This video inspires me to spend my life growing nutritious food for my family and others while embracing a sustainable lifestyle connected to nature. It's amazing how fulfilling life becomes with this perspective. <3

Thank you for sharing❤

Where are you located?

Red clover gets mowed in hay fields multiple times a year. just saying... Also, I have used tanglefoot for years as a way to prevent damage to my apple crops.

Prune your pomegranates for more fruit... keep 1 or 2 main trunks and keep them bald down and rich up

ill never not be surprised that so many people forget that as social animals, one of our biggest strengths is community knowledge.
like talking to the local farmers shouldve been one of the first steps because they would be the most familiar with the land and what grows in the area

I think it’s sad to see native and historic agricultural methods used and then have native Americans called Indians

That is good stewardship, well done.

I live in Henry County, Virginia, I have access to as far as I can tell, native Persimmons of some variety.

American conservatives need to be involved in local politics. Get a job in the commissioners office, zoning boards, city council, county clerks etc. The job pays well and can help make a difference

Potato mow area. Lay potatoes on ground cover with straw heavy mid season add more straw ,harvest easy ,yield comparable.

How many of the plants in the forest are also considered fodder for animals? We have chickens and will have pigs in a few weeks. Anticipating sheep and other ruminants in the future. We are on Northern Neck off the Potomac River.

The fact u guys turned someone hard work clearing all that land back to trees bugs me . Good pasture grass is worth more then trees no lie .

Hehe I was just your 6,000th subscriber my friend. Beautiful work you are doing here

I am so impressed. Community and healthy food. The way it's meant to be.❤

When coming to the passion fruit part of the video I expected a maracuja but it looks vastly different. In case you answer to comments on old videos, would you mind answering what the difference between a Maracuja and a passion fruit is, since it is used somewhat synonimously where I come from?

The cranberry bit got me 😂

Amen to feeding the world with forest gardening. Also, I loved watching your video. Is it weird that I could smell the differences between the shaded and sunny areas? I miss the forested yard and garden in which I spent my childhood. City living has it's perks, but home is where the soil is alive.

This is a very nice channel

We really enjoyed the tour of your forest. What state are you in?

That Bradford pear tip is crazy. Great thinking.

how do you keep vining weeds and. brambles out?

Persimmon is very good hard wood too. Not just fox poop but suckers are crazy prolific 2hen
