Hi all. I'm new to the forum so I thought I'd show my first effort at a food forest. This was planted in the Derwent Valley of Tasmania, Australia. We sold the property a couple of years ago and were informed that the new owners bulldozed it, but it was a good learning experience. I plan on planting out another one when we purchase our next property this year some time.

I decided to go with the "Back to Eden" method and for the most part, it worked really well. Some challenges we faced were the waterlogging of the soil during winter and mild summers....but again, it was a good learning experience.

This is amazing.. We are in Tasmania and looking to do a food first once we are successful in buying property. I haven't heard of the back to Eden method so I'll look that up. Was hoping to get a garden design to get us started but no-one around to do it, it seems. So I'll be planning myself. Thanks for sharing
 
That's my roommate. He's kinda weird, but he always pays his half of the rent. And he gave me this tiny ad:
