great video with Jim Kovaleski (the scythe master i posted in the yard work thread). Also, this vid is in FL (he has a winter home here). Nice little lot there, tons of veggies.

this is pretty cool stuff.. been kinda leaning towards getting into some of this for a while now (growing my own veggies/herbs/etc). I have lots of space right now for some "urban farming". could be fun.

fleet farming .. something that goes on in FL !

you can donate your yard to be farmed out (also paying a small fee for their initial supplies). they'll come in, transform your yard. then maintain it. really cool.

solid vid. been learning alot from this dude. also got some trees from him recently.

didn't know about the "victory gardens movement":

Quote

Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit, and herb gardens planted at private residences and public parks in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany[1][2] during World War I and World War II. In the war time governments encouraged people to plant victory gardens not only to supplement their rations but also to boost morale

Quote

It was emphasized to American home front urbanites and suburbanites that the produce from their gardens would help to lower the price of vegetables needed by the US War Department to feed the troops, thus saving money that could be spent elsewhere on the military: "Our food is fighting," one US poster read.[15] By May 1943, there were 18 million victory gardens in the United States – 12 million in cities and 6 million on farms

Quote

The component to our success with these sub/tropical species is the oak canopy that we use as a living greenhouse.  The old oaks allow us to push the subtropical edge, growing sub/tropical species & collecting as much diversity as we can find.  Our primary focus is building soil, encouraging maximum biodiversity above the ground & below.  The only irrigation used on the farm is for our nursery.   Heavy mulching, constant cover crops, dynamic accumulators, nitrogen fixers & other beneficial species = a booming perennial agriculture system!

that canopy stuff is real.. i have my plants under a pine canopy right now at the maybe-property. and they are doing incredible..

"and if you ask farmers, old farmers, they are going to say that the best production fields they had, was after a newly cut forest. [...] there's no production field like a newly cut forest"

"the forest is the most technological system to turn sunlight into food"

these agrofroestry vids are great.

"using forest principles" to grow more crops in high density, and interplanting stuff that produce your fertilizer/soil nutrition right on the spot etc (less external inputs, using the agroforest as the input). makes so much sense imho. damn.
