  • What Your Permaculture Design Course Isn't Teaching You!
    This 2-part series (Ft. Myers, FL) takes you through the entire process of establishing a food forest, from start to finish. We share with you how a paper design hits the ground & discuss the triumph, the trials & everything in between so you can apply the lessons we gain to your own permaculture farm or garden.
    Be sure to come back for part 2, but in the meantime - be sure to check out our full "How to Create A Food Forest" Playlist. We have over 30 videos on projects of all different sizes & "how-to's" on just about anything you are seeking. You can find the playlist here - bit.ly/2ragmL2

    How's the food forest here now? I like seeing things as you do them but I also like coming back a couple years later and seeing things when they're more established.

    well, I'm just like the owner, have tons of fruit trees in the planterbag 50-200 liters. The problem is I don't have enough land yet, so all the plant have to grow still in the pot for I don't know how long, but they still give me fruits. Thank you!

I'm up north in PA so I would love to see you do something in a colder climate. Keep up the great work and thanks for teaching us so much. Loving you and your sweet family. Donna

    Wonderful! Would be super helpful to know what some of your "problems" were, here, as in when you talked about the trenching for irrigation. What's under that sand? And what are the roots of those large trees around the perimeter like? Sometimes when you create a plot full of nutritive soil, the trees nearby will just fill it in with their roots. Will look for a follow up to this.

    Great project thanks for taking us along. Loved the way you described your decisions-compost screening as budget conscious mulch solution and also retaining the grass in sections (managed organically but sustainable for the owner is so important). Grass sections give breathing space and access-very important permaculture design consideration.

    Pete;
    It is all good a wonderful creating a food forest in Ft. Myers, Florida where the weather is ideal for growing most anything.
    But in Northern Minnesota, zone 3, where growing a food forest amounts to nothing more than a vegetable garden during the summer. Not many fruit trees can be grown here, and even a number of vegetables are hit and miss to try and grow here.
    Every video I come across about creating a food forest are all in areas of the country that allow a person to grow food year round.
    Very discouraging for those of us living in the frozen north.

    I have almost no stomach lining which causes a lot of bacterial infections, I’m thankful if it’s once a month I get food poisoning. Short story, take zofran aka ondesetron , blend ginger, blueberry, lime juice, plain yogurt, and a capful of apple cider vinegar, water blend and slowly drink over an hour. Instantly fixes nausea and headache. Keeping teeth brushed with minty toothpaste helps too.

    Cool install Pete. Just finished checking out your whole library of videos... back to the food forest in containers in suburbia days. Gavin was so little!
    Funny how so many people commenting said they found you because of Justin Rhodes... because I found him because of you. No offence to him... he's got tons of good info, but what you are doing is far more relevant for me (also zone 9b), and with your professional background you convey that info better, usually answering my questions before I need to ask.
    Anyway, just wanted to say thanks.
    Looking forward to more.
