This guy does amazing stuff with a small plot of land. Almost any home dweller could do this. I love the strategies that he uses.

It was nice for me to hear that he got started without doing a site plan because he was so excited to get started. My way is similar: observe by trying things and see what works and what doesn't, and solve or change things as you go along!

Yes, I did the same thing Rachel. I didn't want to wait an entire year only observing. I'm pretty old already. I just planted things where I thought it would make sense to do that. When I needed to move something, I did. Then I moved my entire orchard to my new property. I probably wouldn't do that today, because I'm even older. Glad I did though. All of those varieties are pumping out great food every year.
