Young food forest producing hundreds of pounds of food

This is a 1/10acre food forest. It is 6 years old, and just starting to come into production. Last season it produced hundreds of pounds of food without buying any inputs. Potatoes, squash, garlic, strawberry, raspberry, gooseberry, currant, rhubarb, horseradish, hazelnut, peaches, and apples. All the weeds/prunings feed rabbits which yeild protein. At 6 years old, the production is just starting to come on. Once the system is mature it will produce much much more.

This is fantastic

This is the way!

Lawns are shitcoins lol

This is neat and well done.

What zone?

5b/6a

Slowly transforming my lawn into this

About how many sq ft/m?

Are you asking how many square meters 1/10acre is?

My UI did not show the expand note on your original post :) I see you already gave the size, I just could not see it.

I thought you were implying that his size is not size kek

His is bigger than mine :) hoping to get an idea on yields.

nice. have fun!

Badass

Incredible 🌴🎉

Awesome. Been wanting to set this up at my place, hadn't made the effort yet. Biggest scam out there is small lot = small production.

Keep it up,can't wait to see more updates. Maybe you'll rub off on me....

Followed! I am hoping to start a food forest in a suburban backyard once my wife and I buy a house.

Is there a way to get notified of this? Or just Google calendar 🗓️

I don't know, I should get a better system. For now, you just gotta keep an eye out for the link. I usually post it about an hour before the stream starts.

What zone are you in sir?

#### Raspberries are starting to put on their fall fruit set ####

The flow of the fall harvest is beginning! I pruned the raspberries back pretty aggressively in the food forest this summer, so there isn't going to buckets of berries. I'll be able to pick a quick snack as I walk by throughout the day. In the meantime, the raspberries are doing their job of filling in their niche in the food forest keeping other unwanted plants from growing. Instead of weeding I get to harvest tasty berries!
