Also, im looking into food forests. Im thinking to ease the price I would just start with support trees to get some actual soil on the property. Is this ok to do, and then bring in edible trees? What kind of support trees would be best in this environment?

Thank you for the input... Keep 'em comin... I would love as much variety in fruit as possible.. I will deffinately be putting in some pomegranates... I am on a shared well with fifteen other properties. I will look into water hardness... The last evaluation I got said the water was high in uranium... I don't like the sound of that, but how bad is that for irrigation?

Hey guys I'm way new to all this so hang with me... I live in the California high desert (ridgecrest) very hot in summer very cold in winter... I have 2.5 acres (rectangular in shape) on a slight east facing slope... Can I use swales running noth/south... Honestly I have no clue how to do this... Would a pond work... What should i plant... I will take any and all advise... Also I'm on a very small budget but willing to put a lot of manual labor into it...
