Autumn in the Forest Garden
Autumn is a season of celebration. It is a season of harvest and continuing cycles in the food forest. These are some tips that I have learned over the years to keep the soil abundant in life and structurally supported, while also providing longer seasons of food growing for my family. I will tell you a secret, especially over the late fall and winter season, THE SOIL DOES NOT WANT TO BE BARE! So… Not only is autumn an awesome time to start a new food forest, orchard, or garden project, but it is the perfect time to keep on growing.
What is a Food Forest? How does it build healthy soil?
We do have a crisis, and how to fix this is to work within the systems of nature to rebuild our soil, grow and teach how to grow the healthiest food right now, amass ancient knowledge, combine that with modern science, and we can rebuild the soil and retain this knowledge for the sake of the future. That's the only solution. That's what a permaculture food forest is all about.
