Why would you want to start a Food Forest?
Why would you want to start a Food Forest?
Before you start your Food Forest you need to think about why you are doing it and what your goals could be.Here’s a few of the reasons I started mine:
*natural way of gardening
*food for us
*easy life / low maintenance garden
*beauty
*forest in the backyard
*healthy ecosystem
*play space
*a place to recharge the batteries
An unexpected benefit for me was a place to walk the dogs. We go out pretty much every day and often feed the eels in the river at the same time.
When you start your Food Forest your goals will probably be a bit different to mine- and that is one of the great things about Food Forests- no two Food Forests are ever the same because they reflect the personal goals of the person growing it.
