  1. James appreciate all the encouragement. You are doing what I dream to do when we can get the room to do it. Thanks for all the great videos showing your dreams that have came to fruition and your honestly in doing what you do.

  2. Love your videos. I’ve started a food forest here in south Florida! I’ve got coconut trees, avocado, peach, apple, star fruit, moringa and banana. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey !

  3. Hi and WOW looks GREAT! Have started my own little orchard garden area on our acreage. Told an arborist that they can dump all the wood chips here they want and now have a massive pile of them and they are aging in the pile before I am able to shift them all into my future food forest. Saw what you did and are doing and going to try and do the same. Limited on the varieties I can plant because of the climate and the short season, but going to make micro climate area and see how much I can push the limits of things. Keep making and posting your vids cause man love seeing your garden and forest as it progresses.

  4. Mr. James!
    I have a question:
    Do you have a problem with scorpions?
    Someone told me that I will be dealing with more bugs if I using wood chips in my garden!
    Thanks!

  5. Helped someone start a food forest like yours as an experimental project. We have 30m3 of mulch down, now we will wait until spring to plant. Thanks so much for all your advice!

  6. James, I love what you're doing! Keep it up! I have been inspired to start my own food forest. I have budget restrictions, but so far, I have two apple trees (one that was here when we moved in last year and one Fuji), two types of blueberries, and two types of strawberries. I also have some annuals going; sugar snap peas, lettuces, and cucumbers in the ground, and a bunch of seeds to get started when I get the next section started. I'm using hay and leaf mulch to start, and am working on a few small-scale hugel type beds where my topsoil is thin. I have some huge non food trees that need to go, and will have the tree removal guys just chip them up so I can get my eden food forest really going. I am so excited, and love watching your progress. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences!

  7. Hi James, I love your vids, I'm almost about ready for my woodchips, I've been digging through my garden with a pickaxe removing LOADS of stumps of rose bushes, overgrown thornbush roots, ivy root systems and concrete slabs. All the large stump have been removed, do I need to remove most the roots especially the chunky ones or will my woodchips eventually choke those out naturally? I should have asked earlier as I halfway through, good job I only have about 60sq ft!

  8. James, I need your help. I watched your videos for I've 16 months while doing cancer treatment. It's on my DNA. I've always tried to grow a small garden but now I'm trying to do a food forest. I planted 30 dwarf fruit trees and 3 pecan trees. But some of the fruit seem tall i.e. apple and some plum. Will it be OK to keep the all fruit trees cut around 6 feet where I can reach to trim them and reach the fruit when they start bearing fruit in the future? I do not think they will do much this year except establish roots. Also when can I trim them. We already have 89 degree weather in Georgia. Also, I see someone is nibbling on my plum leaves. So in organic gardening we just let the bugs eat some, correct? Thank you.

  9. Jaaames!!!! I'm not on Facebook, but I HAD to tell you this. I took some cuttings from my Honeycrisp apple tree and poked them down in the mulched soil, and they're ALL alive and, presumably, rooting! Plants amaze me.

  10. You've got a great mindset. You work hard but you also acknowledge your opportunities, and you're thankful for them. And you always say "in my opinion" instead of insisting that a particular way of doing things is the definite best way (even though I agree that it is!). It's great you're self-aware.
