Being pro active (climate change)
One of my personal goals is to plant a minimum of 300 trees each year and 10,000 in my Lifetime.( Which has already been achieved). In one five year period I didn't manage to plant any, Which I regret , and this year 3,000 have gone in the ground. So my aim is solid, but flexible and the more people who are planting trees, the more the climate stability locally increases and more wildlife habitat and diversity returns, and natural balance follows

Sorry the quote had old in it 😅 didn’t mean old man I just love the quote. But why be old, start now! We have all our lives to plant! So impressed with your 3000! Keep that up!

Introduction
Hi everyone 👋🌱 I’m really excited to be here and learn alongside people who love growing their own food. I’m especially interested in hands-on growing, simple systems, and seeing real results (first harvest in days sounds exciting!). Looking forward to geeking out on vegetables, herbs, microgreens, and everything in between. Quick question for you all 😊 What are you currently growing or what do you want to start growing first? Happy to be here and connect 🌿

@Louise Woodford yes too all those suggestions. Daffodils are also an interesting one I’ve seen to add. They fight the grass under the tree to help drying out the soil. They use nutrients when the tree doesn’t need them, as they die back they add organic matter, they add flower under the tree and help early blossom pollination, protect tree roots from burrowing animals due to a toxin in the bulb. 🌼 Along with this herbs become a medicine cabinet to the trees and use herbs for their essential oils. fascinating! 🌿 Garlic and chives to prevent pests 🦌 Lastly lots of medicinal flowers like artesmia, yarrow, nasturtium, to name a few and comfrey are all good 🌸

Swimming in a waste stream
One of the best resources in urban areas is what people throw away and untapped skills or knowledge. In rural communities much less is discarded and items hold their value longer, including knowledge and experience. Reusable materials are needlessly thrown away every day, old crafts die and local history lost, due to lack of interest. Mainly this is due to the lack of it connection between those who have and those who need or want. Community connection can reduce waste.

one mans trash is another mans treasure. community is key in helping a circular economy. Its really important in tapping into local resources via Facebook, Community groups, ringing local businesses, keeping an eye out when people have house work done (a nice way of saying skip diving ;) ) I have resources for: - Cardboard - Wood 🪚- timber ( for raised beds, building projects) - Manure 💩 - 2nd hand window and doors 🪟( for greenhouse builds) - Local Tree Surgeon - 🪵logs for mushroom cultivation, wildlife areas, hugelkulture beds, bed and path edging & Woodchip! - Buckets from restaurants for mushroom cultivation 🍄 - Milk cartons for microgreens 🌱 & more... how do you deal with this Phillip

Food Forest 🌳🍐 in a Car Park year 3 Part 2
Part 2 which is the smaller side of the car park but this side is way more productive as it’s more protected and a slight microclimate. Less loses this side and it’s looking very lush! 🫐🌿

Food Forest 🌳🍎in a Car Park 🅿️ Year 3 Update part 1
Previous video was year one and the update is year 3. The maturity of the Fruit Trees 🍏 Herbs 🌿and Soft Fruit 🍓 is great to see compound! But with miss management like the pub with irrigation issues and not getting me in to keep on top of early weeks, we had losses too. But overall I’m happy with the results with this much of a hands off approach 👌

@Carmen Agosto-Cruz Thanks! The sage looked that good in one year. Guess what. Mushroom compost. I added volcanic rock dust also
