until recently i was a fan of market gardening, but then i came across a book on #permaculture and now permaculture makes so much sense, especially the low maintenance, the good yield (after the initial work on the land and water management (swales)), you should see the results after two years.

if the strawberries are an issue, try clover, dandelion or herbs

but when your food forest is ready, i believe it should create its own microclimate where the strawberries can thrive and be perennials
