From Grass to Food Forest Garden in 2 years

The evolution of my food forest garden in its first 2 years and how its structure has changed from grass to annual crops to growing more of a perennial based fruit and vegetable system. Soil, mulch, organic matter, some hard work and TIME. eatyourgarden

Awww. I learn so much from these Videos. Who needs Encyclopaedias? It’s a collective Global Movement that is the way of the future. I would love nothing more than for my little Grandchildren to go out foraging. It’s our medicine also.

Rhodes grass is very dominant & not much competes with it. Don't forget your half seed life under the soil as well can be a real pain !

Fantastic!!!! And ridiculously inspiring!

You achieved a lot in this two years 👍

This looks like my journey in purchased .27 acres and the soil is sandy. Planting cover crops and building a food forest with fruit and support species trees.

Very down to earth mate, loved the video!

Amazing! Where is that garden located area wise. We are in Perth and its hard core trying to keep it watered 🙄

[gravediggy]

Great vid mate, hopefully now your dam is over flowing

[stewartkerr]

Fantastic work mate. Building soil is the key. Have you thought about putting in swales to maximise water harvesting and water retention on the property?

Great job! Cheers from Pacific Haven QLD

Where do you live? I live just south of Brisbane and am struggling with the drought too.

We had a dry snap a few years ago, water restrictions etc, Gum Trees where falling over left right and centre, but what I looked at, as i drove past, was the size of their root structure, tiny! and that's why they fell over, yet they were massive trees must be over 25 years old. i'm guessing plants need less than a metre of good, nutrient rich, drain-able soil to grow in, doens't matter the type of plant, look at the root system of mangroves. We also had a huge! evergreen buttrus rooted tree in the front yard and I found roots in the back yard, no more than a metre, thick roots. I think most plant;s root systems lie near the surface. Great vid, great inspiration.
