Today we work on creating a food forest one piece at a time. We planted a food forest at the end of last year, and have continued to plant it through spring. However, now we're dealing with grass taking over around our trees and plants. To beat this, and to give our trees the very best start possible, we are now creating islands of fertility around our plant guilds so they can beat the grass, be fed better, have more water, and generally thrive and outcompete the grass and weeds.
This is like lasagna gardening in the food forest! Just use sheet mulching to improve the soil and fix bad sand, then you get stronger trees and make fruit trees grow faster. Today we're improving a "food forest island" comprised of a pear tree, some cannas, turmeric, ginger, and a goumi berry. We are composting grass clippings, ragweed, pokeweed, mimosa branches and even chunks of oak limbs on top of a cardboard weed-block layer, underneath which we added a good layer of manure from the cow pasture. Once you water really well and deep mulch a piece of the food forest like this, the resultant life and growth is exceptional!
Thank you for watching.
