RE: Moving Beyond the Traditional 7 Layers of a Food Forest

in #permaculture7 years ago

lol, thank you! :) I agree but in food forests I see a lot of people managing their forests in a way that prevents these features from naturally being part of the forest.

People often cut down dead trees instead of leaving them as snags. Branches are often hauled away, etc.

In addition to adding these elements at the start of a food forest I also hope by talking about it more people will change how they manage their forests to let it be a bit more wild :)

Getting that oak part way into the ground sounds like a great idea to me!

I appreciate the comment! :)
