I Just love the way Skeeter goes through the property in such a matter of fact way. I wish I knew as much and could remember, about herbs as he does. I'll keep workin' on it.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Book, Legumes of the world? I have looked on amazon & ebay several times. No Go.

Hi jamie & Jennifer, I am also taking Geoff lawton course and am really enjoying it.The video is Good for a quick basics of Food Forests, but I am finding that it is all so much more complex than the video illustrates.
Very enjoyable

Depends on where you are. We are in Colorado and have been using a combination of white pine, hybrid willow & Poplar, with some Siberian pea shrub mixed in between. Seems to be working well.

Wow, Tremendous Job. Looks great. Are there any mulberry trees in that mix?

So many good suggestions Thanks to all. You all have been very helpful. Many of the same ideas I had, but many times just having someone else tell you the same thing
as what you were thinking can be Tremendous reinforcement.

Miles, the ranch is about 600 some acres deeded and 400 some acres leased BLM land. Between Casper & Medicine bow, with absolutely
Nuthin' on it except an Old Trappers Cabin thats more wind than cabin any more. Hahaha. Nobody else around accept the Jackalope. Hahaha There is another ranch on one boundary,
but it's just graze that doesn't get used every year and no neighbor in residence.

You'll want to always ask about HOA's, Water restrictions, and/or any COVENANTS that may be attached to the property. We have had some close calls in the past when we were ready to buy in Colorado
and found out just in time that there are several covenants that would prevent us from doing what we intended on the property.

Hello, We are getting ready to move to a very windy,cold in winter, hot in summer, High desert area of Wyoming. It use to be a grazing ranch, but drought has stopped that. There are 2-3 weeks of the year that have a huge gully washing flood of spring melt runoff and then hardly anything the rest of summer. The gullies in the area are at least 8-10 feet deep. I need to figure out how to redirect that water without using heavy equipment. The biggest problem is the water runs very fast & furious approximately 8 feet down in the gullies. we are not able to dig swales that deep without heavy equipment. I was wondering if someone might have an idea for damming the gullies, maybe in steps to slow the runoff and bring the levels closer to the surrounding landscape level. Any suggestions?

Hi Chris, I also would love a chance at winning your book. Great info here. Thanks
