For a starting food forest you want close to 90% legumes and at maturity you want no less than 25% legume after the other 65% has died after being over-shadowed, died of old age or chop-dropped-killed.
Starting out you need 9units of garden space covered/shadowed by legumes for every 1unit of space covered by 'productive plants'
Iterations are fine, we don't have to be perfect
