If you have a property that is say 100ft by 100ft. you can actually plant alot more than 30 fruit tree, esp if you plant dwarf cultivars.

And with a 1000sqft greenhouse. You could grow most of your food for the winter and summer.

For a watering system, I would say mulch and bio-char. Then have a big barrel as a bio-reactor (pond/aquarium water + kefir + IMO) that you then use to spray all the leaves and mulch once a week or so, to make them hardy. For the greenhouse, Just weekly flood irrigation.  

Do the three providers all work good in your area (T-Mobile, Verizon, At&T), if not let me know hich one you want to focus on.

t-mobile network = Mint Mobile ($180 for 365 days)`
verizon network = Visible ($275 for 365 days)
at&t network = good2gomobile ($120 for 365 days)

Can it be plastic based or does it have to be metal based.

Yes I have a purple hazelnet tree in my backyard. i bought it on purpose, they are usually dwarfing too. One of them is contorted too.

Sap usually contains 3% solids/sugars and 97% water. But syrup contains only 35% water and 65% sugar

I recommend getting a reverse osmosis kit to filter out 50%-75% of the water and then boiling to get it to syrup, it is so much faster.

Shade is actually perfect for a leafy green garden it make the vegetables produce bigger and softer leaves to catch the max amount of sunlight. They also stay softer for longer and don't bolt and get bitter as quickly. And because you aren't trying to capture extra sunlight to make pounds and pounds of sugary fruit, you don't need that much sunlight.

Shade Tolerant Plant List
* Leafy Greens (lettuce family, spinach family, cabbage family)
* Herbs (onion family, mint/thyme family)
* raspberry/blackberry/strawberry
* goumi
* artic kiwi
* pawpaw
* juneberry (but I think they get infected with cedar pine rust too much to be worth it)
* cornellian cherry (this has actually done well for me, the plants are a tiny bit too tall for me)
* Mushroom (they love the shade and moisture, you can do oyster and winecap with minimal prep, chicken of the woods/etc if you want to be more iinvolved)
* Bee Hive (get two flow bee hive from amazon.com, they don't require any tools to harvest just spin a knob and honey flows out)
* Egg (get 6 or so egg laying chicken, and a coop, with a woodchip floor and you can throw waste food (home/supermarket/etc) to grow worms/insects for them.

All that said what exactly is a forest garden. I know that this will differ depending on who you ask. For me a food forest is actually most similar to oak savanna/prairie/silvo-pasture. With lots of spacing between plants vs a dark forest floor of a regular forest.

It depends on the cultivar.
I have some 90days to harvest ones, and they only have tubers at the base and so it doesn't matter if it is rooted or not. And the vine only has a radius of 10ft, and it winter kills in the fall. In the tropics the vine will grow 100ft and will produce tubers along the vine as it roots, and it fact, they are perennial and will stay alive year after year after the inital planting.

If you are going to water the base of the vine, then I don't think it needs root contact, esp if you don't get summer rains.

Do note that the leaves are edible, as a water spinach substitute.

My recommendation would be to:
plant fruiting trees/shrub/vines against the property line every 10ft
plant some root crops in some imported soil/compost/woodchip/etc
plant some herbs and vegetables
rear some egg laying chickens in a chicken coop
rear two beehives, get the chinese knockoff of the flow hive, but don't tell anyone that you are, because then they will freak out, maybe after two years if they find out you can admit to it and say listen you didn't even know until bob told you so that tells you how safe they are, yes remember when I gave you some honey at the christmas thing, yeah that was from the garden. They are totally safe, I got those extra calm and passive breed of honey called xyz.
