In summary, there is a lot more weed pressure, but the perennials are much more productive than they have ever been, too! If...

#zone7bfoodforest #ncfoodforest #honeyberry #haskap #Loniceracaerulea Have you every tasted a honeyberry? This is a tasting and review of honeyberry. I highly recommend tasting them and even trying to grow them if you can. They are not very sweet, but have a unique taste similar to an unripe blueberry. I live in zone 7b where it is warm and honeyberry can be difficult to grow, due to a low heat...
Nanking Cherry Tasting and Review
Просмотров 9 тыс.3 года назад
#zone7bfoodforest #ncfoodforest #nankingcherry This is just a quick tasting of nanking cherry aka prunus tomentosa. I encourage people to grow this fruit. It is decorative with its foliage and beautiful blooms. Many people claim that it does not taste great, but if you let them ripen all the way, until they are soft, they are very tasty. If they do not ripen, they can be a bit astringent. I mis...
THIS CHEAP GREENHOUSE WAS A LIFE SAVER
Просмотров 6224 года назад
#cheapgreenhouse #ncfoodforest I was really happy to have this cheap greenhouse to use when we had a late frost in May, which is really rare in NC. I was able to save a lot of my backup plants by putting them in the greenhouse. I was also able to store fruit trees like figs and a calamondin in it while we were getting cold weather. This helped avoid plant damage. I also use this cheap little gr...

The Most Valuable Tomato Planting Tip
Просмотров 2904 года назад
#growingtomatoes #plantingtomatoes #whentoplanttomatoes #savemoney This is the most important factor, in my mind, when first planting tomatoes. Everyone is very excited to put tomato plants in the ground and they usually do it way too early. We are convinced by plant companies to put them into the ground because plants are for sale already at stores. But don’t fall for this trick. If you plant ...
I just found them on my property today. A huge push full because of the weather we've had. I can't wait to make some jam. Thanks for your video dude🎉
I have about a 10 of the bushes. If you can wait to pick them they actually get a little bigger and darker and a little sweeter. I make them into juice.
looks good, i like the idea of the squash and method of planting.
i find it very exciting to find cool videos that are 4 years old that meand hopefully i can watch the transformation. looking forward to watching how the food forest has transformed. 🙂
I’m in Zebulon looking to start a food forest. Where are you located in NC?
I live in 7b in Southern Illinois. Apples grow very well here. I think our hills and clay soil are good for apples. What type of soil do you have in NC?
Did you get all of your plants/trees from a local nursery or did you have to buy some online?
I’m in an area very close to Asheville also 7B climate zone unfortunately I live in an HOA and I am not sure what I’m allowed and what I’m not allowed to grow on my property but my current area of vegetable gardening is three beds their raised beds and I grow tomatoes and peppers and squash and green beans and peas, but I also have two fruit trees. I have a green apple tree granny Smith and a cherry tree the problem I’m having is I have a lot of wet areas in my yard that I cannot figure out what to grow in. Can you suggest some plants that like to be moist while growing unfortunately I have a creek that runs by my house and a spring underground near it which keeps the ground very moist. I also get full sun, which is good but I still don’t know what to grow.
We're in NC 7b on the edge of the foothills/piedmont area, so far I have an ever expanding garden and have added a couple of apple trees and getting into some berry bushes. Looking forward to following you develop this new space to give me more ideas to incorporate in my space as well!
Agreed! There aren't really that many videos of gardening in these region
Are you going to bring any of your trees with you?
Yay spend more money! Haha always worth it tho growing plants
Oh we're spending money. I pretty much save every dollar I make from my from my day job to save up for stuff life this.
Dude! I know the feeling! I had an awesome food forest in Phoenix… then I sold my house and moved to eastern Tennessee. Im subbed and I’d love to come visit and do a video for my channel with how you are planning your new food forest! I’m planting right now! Stoked to build again! Can’t wait to see how your new forest develops!
It's a bummer to leave, but it is SO cool getting to start from scratch. I bet your tree choices changed with a little different climate in Tennessee.
well yes there are some trees I’d love to plant out here but they are more teoprical like mangos and avocados and moringa… but I’m digging into the trees that do well out here like peaches and cherries and persimmons and plums. I couldn’t fruit cherry trees in Phx bc they need some freezes to set fruit so I’m stoked on cherry’s!!!
That will be awesome. I get cool but not super cold where I'm at so I have to make sure everything is low chill hour requirements.
What a cool video! grear delivery! and I really love that you showed it off and ate it and give tips! GREAT JOB! Subed!❤
Thanks so much!!
Awesome, I'm happy for you :) Looking forward to follow along your journey and learn about your experience and learnings. Looks like you got some good soil building material and probably soil already there. Will you incorporate the syntropic agroforestry approach? I'm actively looking for a piece of land for purchase (3000 to 5000 sqm) in my area. I'm in the middle of Germany. Want to do my part in pushing the boundaries of what's considered a temperate food forest.
More videos to come. This orchard will follow a variety of principles from permaculture, syntropic agroforestry and traditional orchard growing. I am prioritizing growing 30 to 40 fruit trees at a pretty high density, but everything else will revolve around soil building with annual crops, then eventually filling in spots with perrenial food producing plants.
@@justinthewildoutdoors Awesome! Really looking forward
Fresh start. 💕
I'm super exceed!
In zone 7b in Southern Virginia. I used your videos to help me with setting up my own food forest. I'm sure your family appreciates the sacrifice of moving, and your legacy of the first food forest will keep going with the next owner. I hope that your second one is even better and look forward to the updates!
Very cool! Thank you for sharing in my excitement. We keep up the great work!
Native strawberries work well as ground cover, and you might be able to get trees to pull them up into their high branches if you start both around the same time. ruclips.net/video/AlECmk0RwbM/видео.htmlsi=mPu3y02zaqpB_9mN
That's definitely an option I am considering! Thank you.
@@justinthewildoutdoors yw, bunch more ideas too if you want any
I have having about 1,5 acres Cleared next week and want to get started on a food forest. I live in Georgia right on the 7b/8a line. Can’t wait to see your updates.
Awesome! Keep me updated with yours!
Just getting started on a design for our new house and 2 acre garden and fruit tree/bush orchard in the Piedmont region of NC.
You are probably not too far from me. Best of luck!
Dude I just re-checked your channel after a year. A few hours later you post an update!
It was meant to be. Going to get back at it. Been busy growing a garden and a completely separate business!
@@justinthewildoutdoors well done! Hope the hard work paid off!
Welcome back. Looking forward to seeing the development of your new food forest. I started my food forest in 2021 in NC zone 7b. Trees are young and some are starting to produce a small crop. I was wondering if you moved any of your plants to the new property.
I will be taking a few. That will be a good video idea to post.
Your apple tree should produce fruit this year if not then next year. Judge by the size it may have been 3 year old tree.
I think you are right, but I also think we had a warm winter so we might not have hit the chill hour requirements.
We live in 6B southern Delaware. we have the same problem with the creeping charlie 🤦🏻♀️ we put down cardboard and about 8 inches of mulch in our food forest and it's gone great for us. the spots where it's thin are definitely growing more, but the upkeep is much easier when you start with a thick layer of mulch. We plan to keep going with that.
Good luck! Keep me updated. I literally just moved and I'm starting from scratch. No creeping charlie here... yet, hopefully forever.
Great tour, man! A lot of work and it shows. 👍🏻
Thanks! 👍
Thanks first of all for mentioning of the climate zone!
You bet!
New update please!😊
So crazy thing...I moved. I still own that property so I may still do an update, but I'm also starting a much bigger food forest.
This looks amazing! Goals for my land. 🤞
You can do it!
Great,enjoyable tour of your forest and garden. Fine selection of both plants/ trees and flowers.I hope to use some of your advice here in east central Tenn. Thanks for this most helpful video.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
What is the name of the black raspberry plant?How did they do? I’m going to watch newer walk through but thought I’d ask in case it’s not in there.
Not sure if you are still interested in the name, but I'm having to look it up. I can't remember. I think I wrote it down. I will let you know when I find it.
@@justinthewildoutdoors I am! Tyvm 🤗
I’m jealous of all the different kinds of fruit that can be grown in zone 7. I’m zone 4, things are pretty limited here as it sometimes gets down to -30 F in winter.
!Pp0s
Oh yeah. Not the same, but you do still have good options.
I’m in the Triad and hope you upload soon…good stuff!
Awesome. I am starting a new food forest at a different property. Should be much bigger. I will post soon.
also in the piedmont and started my food forest this year, great to finally see someone that has the same climate as me to get good ideas from. thanks justin
Awesome! Keep me posted. I'm starting another one right now. I will do a video soon.
i like so i just subbed
Thank you!
Nice video & amazing food forest. Thanks for sharing ! And about creeping Charlie, it's an edible plant, you can use it either as herbal tea or in salads...
You are correct it is very much useful.
Im also 7B, near Yorktown Va.😎 Im currently (slowly) working on my food forest too. 👍🏽 Going to be planting my 4 year old Goji berry bush and 5 hardy kiwi vines, in the ground next week or 2. Turns out, Goji are winter hardy! I left it outside in a cold green house last winter and it did wonderful, while many other things died.
Always cool to learn new things. Sometimes you can figure cool stuff out when you take a risk.
Hello. Thanks for the tour. We are also in the Piedmont area. How do you prep your areas for growing with red clay dirt in this area for in ground planting?
Red clay is actually not that bad. It does hold nutrients fairly well. I dig a big hole for my trees so there is room to drain. I also mulch heavy and top with very rich compost.
Great info on food Forrest in NC area! , & very interested plants to see

How do you handle Japanese and June beetle in June, July?
I have learned milky spore will get rid of them 😊
Milky spores are probably the best answer, but I don't personally have experience. I just use traps.
Great tour - I'll never tire of touring other people's food forests!
I totally agree with you!
I’m in South Coast Georgia zone 8b. I have turned my front yard into a food forest and will be working on adding more food forest sections on my property. There isn’t very much info on food forests in my zone either. I’ve been focusing on Moringa, plums, elderberry, loquats, blueberries, mulberry, figs, satsuma oranges, lemons and other citrus. I’m growing peaches and pomegranates too. Then I’ve got lots of annuals as well as vining plants and ground covers. I’m using sweet potato, longevity spinach and Okinawan spinach as ground covers. I use lots of wood chips as mulch in beds as well as walkways. I can’t grow apples and cherries here due to low chill hours. I want to try persimmons.
You have an awesome collection going. I highly recommend persimmon, both Asian and American. You might be able to find a low chill hour apple.
How is your food forest going. Can you do an update?
So I actually moved and I'm starting a whole new food forest. I still own the other property, so I might still do updates.
I'm in NC, Asheville area and am doing something similar. My biggest problem is the Deer and Groundhogs, I don't know what's going on with the Groundhog population around here but those little bastards are PROLIFIC. On less than an acre of land I've killed as many as 15 in a year's time and I've not even made a dent in the population. I can't do as much about the deer, but the repellents are a joke and the soaps and sprays don't deter them at all, so I've got ridiculous and haphazard baskets of chicken wire around all the fruit trees. Look into the Indian White Freestone Peach, they are excelling here in Western NC. Last year we watched helplessly as a male black bear completely stripped our peach trees and sat and literally ate over a hundred peaches in one sitting, we were hollering and banging on pots and he wouldn't even make eye contact with us lol
You all have some awesome wildlife out west, but they do some serious damage. Deer taste great and bear does too. As for the Indian Freestone...I literally bought one 5 days ago. I am so excited to grow it.
Hi Justin. What is the variety of your pear tree? Hope it is doing well this spring. How big is the pear tree expected to get with pruning? Do you prune it the same way as a peach tree? Also did you wrap your peach and/or pear tree over the winter?
Hey. These are great question. Sorry for the late reply. I don't wrap any trees. My peach trees are pruned to an opened center. Pear trees are more of a central leader. I've got hosui and chojuro Asian pears, keiffer pears, moonglow pears. I am buying some new ones for a new food forest. Pear trees can get up to 10ft fast and some will get very large.
Thank you! Glad to find you. I'm in Western North Carolina, 6a & b, with lots of microclimate (very micro lol) areas. This will be very enjoyable for me to watch and I can adapt it I'm sure.
Do you not find it necessary to have a fence around the entire food forest/garden? Or a solar electric wire? Are deer not a problem there? Or rabbits? Or is it overall healthier for the soul to have animals in there eating a bit?
I don't mind some animal traffic. I just make sure they don't damage the trees. I expect to have to share fruit with the animals when it is ripe.
Dude it’s looking great! Nice work! I just got some property in eastern Tennessee. Same zone. Keep It up!
Thanks!
I am in 7b/8a and have the same issue with gathering information for my climate.I just found your channel and really appreciate you sharing. I’ll be checking back in.
I'm starting a new food forest. I will do all new videos.
Chemical-free? What about vinegar, salt, dish soap and some Dr.Fred's Arthritis Rub? All natural, organic, and it works well. I'm all for trying to stay away from the insane stuff sold in the big box stores, but basic science can really help out. And if it means getting a leg up on the Creeping Charlie and Wysteria.... isn't that a good thing?
Vinegar remains in the soil and can render that area usless because other plants will die there in the future. Salt can also cause issues.
