Join Geoff Lawton on a Permaculture adventure
as he demonstrates how to grow a food forest from start to finish. Over 90
minutes of quality information to get you on the right track in creating
your own garden or farm.
- Forest fundamentals for the classroom
- Establishing a food forest from day 1
- A forest on a swale system
- Using chickens to do the spade work
We also see the forest after three months and three years later as well
as a seven0year forest.
We start with a 20 minute Permaculture Classroom as Geoff explains the
patterns of a Food Forest and the essential principles of "time stacking"
your garden with the right mix of support species that feed and protect your
fledgling fruit trees into maturity. We then join Geoff in the field as he
puts the theory into action, planting the seeds and watching the system
grow.
We end up at Tagari Farm - established by Permaculture founding father,
Bill Mollision - which was abandoned years ago, but planted according to
Permaculture design principles. Would this Food Foest survive on its own?
You'll be surprised.
