@@floridafreeliving Same here. We moved a year ago and have been working on it slowly. We live in C. Florida and have planted moringa, mulberry, cranberry hibiscus, okra, herbs, everglades tomato, Mexican sunflower, seminole pumpkin, comfrey, passion fruit, sorrel, blueberries, blackberries, and bananas. I just bought some more trees yesterday - mulberries, coco plum (a new one), Barbados cherry, and Canna lilies. 😊 Great video, thank you!

This gentlemen is not only great at growing/maintaining a food forest but he's also an excellent communicator. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing... Mark Shepard doesn't use STUN when establishing plants / trees. He NOW recommends watering first 1-2 years. See Grazing Grass podcast with Mark Shepard.

I love how you talk about what you would cook with the certain leafs =. it helps to build an idea of the taste. This whole video was very descriptive. Thanks!

Thank you so much for joining us for the food forest tour. Really appreciate what you are doing to help show others how to create abundance in their own backyards. TJ, you are the man.

The house I live in here in Florida- when we bought it 12 years ago there was a little piece of metal fencing sticking up from the ground in the backyard. I finally dug it up yesterday and it's an entire roll of fencing. I am so sad. (I can't get it out!) There was also a car battery and a whole bunch of other garbage. Now I'm hesitant about planting my garden.

Great video. I thought that the moringa has all nine of the amino acids which makes it a complete protein. Some grind the leaves for protein powder for protein shakes. I love the peppery taste and just throw the leaves in my salad.

I learned so much! This gives me hope. 💜🌱 Being here in central Florida myself I have been really trying but summer kills so much. I like this chop and drop method. I was always worried I would spread disease or mold or aphids. But it's apparent I'm not doing things right in comparison. Thank you!!

Hi, new FL organic gardener here. Just started several raised beds in Tampa Bay Area. I started using Espoma products and so far have been pretty successful. I don’t think I saw or heard you say whether you use any similar products. Do your plants thrive with just chop & drop from other plants and water or are you also supplementing? Beautiful food forest & garden.
