We found that strawberries did well in the early years but 10 years in they've been out competed by other things

Good to know Mike, thank you... Yes I do expect over time when canopy closes more, they wont be so happy, but for now we will happy take the extra strawberry 😍 they just seem to LOVE rooting into the woodchips all on there own ... perfect for now ✌️🌿

This is great - I love watching these vids set in the same hardiness zone as me. Trying to establish my own mini-food forest in my medium sized garden...

Oh thats epic! Glad you enjoyed and getting a food forest on the go, very exciting..

My father started fighting Coltfoot 70 years ago on his farm. My brother who is now on the farm still has not succeeded. If you let it grow, you have nothing else to harvest. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Boer, good feedback to hear how much of a problem it can become, i think we will try to remove it before its too late, its already spread up a near vertical bank into another bed!

Thank you! I have just bought a small piece of land and the Aronia berry sounds like just what I need.

Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know that with honeyberries you need at least two different varieties that flower at the same time (3 is even better!) for them to actually bear fruit! But they're fantastic bee attractors early in the year though

Just been looking into varieties etc and heard of one so far that can be self fertile, Blue Velvet, perhaps that what you have Mike ... not sure what variety ours is, but guessing not that one! 🤣

Really cool guys! Curious what size root stocks are your fruit trees? Got a similar sized area and am thinking a combination of semi dwarf and dwarf may suit best. Oh and do you guys grow any citrus? I'm in Tasmania, Australia in the same zoning as you guys and people have success growing them down here, lemons and limes are common.

Hey Mahalia, nice to hear from you, we actually have most of ours trees on vigorous rootstocks, not because we want them to be large but just to establish quicker and be stronger growing. Yes we plan to grow citrus but in a tunnel as we cant get away with growing them outdoors here, the trees can just about scrape through and bounce back but when the fruit freezes as its on the tree over our long winter it ruins them! Wishing you great success with your food forest too, wish we could grow the citrus outside!

Hello enjoyed the video registered blind so using speech to text and hope it's bills all my words correctly I have received idea as yourself but only got a small back garden in Scotland most of my stuff are in containers until I can try amend the ground as it floods I would love to see more videos from you guys and I would love if it is possible please could I have any curtains of your Chinese Barry I tried to grow it myself and was not successful it died back the Chinese Barry is very good medicinally for eyesight it might restore my eyesight and would love to brought also would love a curtain if possible of your Mulberry if I can take any curtains successfully of my King James black Mulberry and send you some back through post I would or if you're ever in Scotland even better I am also growing pink currants so if I can get it to grow great enough big enough I can give you guys some curtains also thanks again

Hi Jay, thanks for your lovely message and for enjoying our vids - really appreciated. Both our Mulberry & Schisandra Berry our both quite recent additions, so we need to let theme establish a bit more before we can start taking cuttings. Propagating our own plants is part of our plans for the not so distant future though, so stay tuned about that. I currently buy dried Schisandra berries from a local herbalist and make tea with them, might be a good way to start getting the goodness from them right away for your health, as the vines themselves are very slow growing I believe, we are not expecting fruits for a while yet ... but is great to have ready for the future - Schizandra is such a powerful adaptogen - good for many many things ✌️🌿

Don’t agree with this comment at all. You share at a lovely pace. People don’t watch food forest videos expecting to be bombarded!
