Great vid. Always good to see people growing their own food in a sustainable way, and being so passionate about it. For the 'calorie dense' crops, depending on your climate, try legumes (lentils, pigeon pea), Root drops ( potato, yam), and nuts (whatever grows in your climate). What would you recommend jokertim777?
That's amazing. I own a home in Connecticut and I've been looking into doing this to my yard. How do passion fruit vines and banana tree survive the winter?!?
Good work Kriscan! Nice with someone positive for a change! Im gonna by the book this man wrote with Jacke (I belive his name was), however Id like to know if it is possible to make an estimate what a food forest costs to plant per square/unit?
great work, kris, keep it up. this video with Spanish subs in case anyone is interested: /watch?v=2-Ydyax42bw. i keep up my efforts to be your fan #1, cheers, a.
Growing fruits and vegetables in your backyard is fantastic, but shouldn't be sold as a solution to Peak Oil. Although "nutrient dense" they aren't calorie dense like bread, dairy, or meat. You have a good start, but its only part of the equation. I was impressed with the variety and use of micro-climates.
@jokertim777 : True, there is no one solution, but there are many ways to live well using fewer fossil fuels. This is one way. The equation not only has many formulas, but many outcomes and no one is saying you have to chose just one.
Our broccoli, collards, and brussels sprouts plants have recovered after the super freeze Seattle had in early December. Am able make soup out of their leaves all year round...very hardy plants if u let them keep growing.
Thanks for this! The authorities who own the government and industry fear people like this a lot more than the Idaho survivalist types. A guy like this doesn't need to buy Monsanto junk. He can spend less time working and paying taxes because his homestead meets a lot of his needs.
Every time money changes hands, governments take 8 to 25% at every step. This guy is bypassing a lot of that, and that scares the caviar and champagne out of these rich jerks who own everything.
this is great but where can I buy these plants in the Northeast? Nursery Lists?

Awesome!!!
Wish he and his family were my neighbors!
VERY inspiring. Love, love, love the idea of self dependence, nutritional food, and reclaiming land as opposed to chopping down an old forest.
HIs books are on Amazon.
Thanks a million for posting.

Cool video. Very informative. I just stock up here in the city. I have nowhere to grow food. This guy's definitely one step ahead.
Peak oil's right around the corner. We weren't able to get more than 89 million barrels a day out of the ground when the oil was at 143 a barrel.
we're doing 86 million a day now.
Please prepare. It's gonna be a mess.
