Multi-Layered Growing

The all important multi-layered approach to growing a Food Forest!

Pictured here is a row in the Tinui Food forest Kitchen Garden area showing all the different layers represented. The layers are a fundamental part of creating a healthy ecosystem for the plants to grow in. The plants are healthier for being grown amongst a relatively wild scramble of different plants. To be honest, I do feel sorry for the fruit trees that I see being grown surrounded by nicely mown grass. That aint no way to treat a plant!!

I'll get off my soap box now and let you enjoy the Food Forest layers- I know for a fact that the birds and insects and soil microorganisms will definitely be enjoying it!!
