Rawutah's Food Forest Summer 2010 Part 2

Part 2 of the Summer 2010 Food Forest tour...

Zone 1...is the kitchen herb garden.

Zone 2... is the Almond and Peach Guild...mixed in with Sea Buckthorn and raspberries. The comfrey is mixed in EVERYWHERE...and is an absolute STAPLE...in this strategy...it's mining minerals constantly, we then chop..and drop... the leaves in place..to build fertility. The worms love this....

The clover is also building fertility and attracting beneficial insects. We've been eating it too...

Zone 3...is the terraced beds...which are being transplanted to GOJI BERRIES right now..with other mixed perennial herbs

Zone 4...is the DOME. As well as figs and pomegrates making up this guild/zone.

Zone 5...are the lower beds...and will be in the next video.

Might change the "zones" to...other names..haha...I like Terabithia...and other such names... :)

Hey great looking garden! im planning on starting my first one this year. A quick questioni have is what are the like canopy things for? like over the parsley and kale garden? is it to lower the suns intensity or what does it do. would appreciate a response to that thanks.

@shortylockdown hey, thanks for the kind comment, very appreciated. yup, the shade cloth is for creating a shaded mircoclimate. this climate zone, goes from cold to really hot...quickly. with the shade cloth attached to pvc, i can easily move the shade where i need it. my trees are growing quickly, so hopefully one day, they will help with the shade/mircoclimate.

Thanks for the video, however can you make it smoother, the camera moves too fast and I get dizzy. Its very good material, and its a pitty that the camera moves so fast.
