LAWN TO HIGH PRODUCTION FOOD FOREST: https://youtu.be/7ByAh_0CIW8
My Secret RARE Fruit Tree, PERSIMMONS!!
https://youtu.be/cztEmuSbOF8
I had to stop video because you said pecans so weird lol! I’m from the south we say it so differently!
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.
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 !
Which type of woodchips would you recommend?
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.
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!
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!
Im in NJ as well and im trying cabbage for third year. They never grow the head just a big bunch of leaves. What am i missing?
Your food forests are amazing! I’m getting ready to harvest some broccoli in a week or so, I’m in NC.
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!
Team Food Forest. That's a commercial waiting to happen. 🙂
apparently cabbages (except cauliflower) needs relatively cool weather to not get leggy and shit.
Any recommendations on what to plant in New Mexico? I Just want my yard to look greener. Being in the desert is hard to find hardy trees and plants. Thank you!
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!
Hey man! What precent of your own food do you grow? I know it's hard to say exactly, just curious.
I've been watching this while packing up in PHX to move to just outside Raleigh, NC where we'll start our food forest on 1.3 acres!
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.
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.
Hi James! I’m in sussex county Nj. Where do you get your fruit and nut trees from?
I would like to start a food forest but don't really know how to start. Food freedom sounds like quite a wonderful thing!
I dream of having a little piece of land one day and nurturing a food forest. You’re videos are a real inspiration.
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.
How much do you water
Thanks for all you do James. I'm working on building a suburban backyard food forest now and your videos have been extremely helpful!
Hey Mr. Prigioni! I went to see Paul Gautchi this summer, so I have learned a lot about gardening and health. I live in Kansas so it is dry and hot here. I was wondering which tomatoes you would advise me to plant here? Also, have you tried atomic grape tomatoes? If not, I'm going to try them next year. They look awesome! Here is a link.

Grafting is another method of propagating plants. Here are a couple video links that explain the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdCe27PyCfk&t=25s & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORmiejNDNOw&t=355s
