RỪNG THỰC PHẨM Hành Trình Tôi Lên Kế Hoạch Gieo Trồng Bảo Vệ

I've seen online videos showing people overreacting to simple things like toilet paper And from that moment on I poured all my energy into to truly create the heavenly dream I once had as a child As a result this entire section of the garden will be in deep shade all day long Therefore I want to plant all of my large trees down here The rest of the garden with its shorter plants felt incredibly pleasant beneath my bare feet Here the 98 mother trees are vital for protecting the seedlings as they sprout And here is what the shelter for my little tree looks like today Hello and welcome back to the wild garden of Doquity Garden You know when I was a boy I used to think this was the sound the sun made I often lie on my back on the ground and imagine I'm just like a monkey Suddenly finding himself in a forest brimming with his favorite foods a forest of sustenance I'm now 54 years old and that dream has never left me When the lockdown began in March 2020 I started seeing videos on the interne about how people overreact to simple things like toilet paper And from that moment on it has driven all of my energy into o truly create the heavenly dream I once had as a child In this episode of the wild garden I'll show you how I planned it ow they cultivate and protect their food forest It all began with my first tree the mango tree Since this is one of my all-time favorite vegetables I had to plant it first So I dug a large hole and planted it right next to a wallaby kangaroo what I found on the way after a minor traffic incident as they call it in Australia It's a proper resting place for that wallaby rather than lying exposed right beside the roadside Later I heard about another farming technique called the Ellen White method also involved digging a large hole which I then covered with a mixture of compost e plant litter topsoil and form an air pocket with rocks and assorted other debris I did that with a few trees but to be honest I'm starting to get a bit tired of digging Then I met Master George Lawton hello there friend—I'm the guy from the garden the one who's a bit crazy how are you doing He is a master of sustainable agriculture and lives just a short distance from my home and he was the first person I actually met who truly owned one of the forests I could only dream of A place where I can run around and eat whatever I want whenever I want just like a gorilla As we dashed through his food forest during a thunderstorm he explained that you are what you eat You must be certain about what you eat for if you don't know what you're eating you won't know who you are We often lose that connection We define ourselves by the crops that sustain us and we must never forget that That night it rained without stopping and I couldn't close my eyes for a single moment Not because it was raining but because I couldn't stop thinking about creating a food forest on the hillside next to the wild garden So I waited a few days until Geoff finished his course then drove back there And I said Geoff would you like to come to my garden and help me design a food forest Do you know what he said He replied Yeah definitely I'm more than happy to Great High five Let's see where this takes us Alright So he came and explained to me what a water retention ditch is so I can capture the water and help it soak down to the roots of the forest garden I'm about to plant That's when I started digging deeper quickly realizing this required even more exploration than the method of Ellen White I dug and kept digging until I broke a toe—when I hit a large rock I had to call on friends for help And in just one day we completed all the rain roots Once all that was done I had to decide which trees I wanted and where they should go One important thing to note is that I only chose foods I personally enjoy eating mostly those But there are also quite a few medicinal plants here It's like having a health food store right in my backyard This place wants to become a forest She is giving it her all entirely self-driven proactively guiding this land toward a balanced sustainable and resilient ecosystem When I think about how I want my forest to be I need to consider what I’ll plant where I’ll plant it and when These are the key points to help clarify exactly where I want to plant the trees For the same reason I’ll put on a small shadow puppet play right here in this garden Here you have the directions North South East and West Now if I plant a tree it would grow very large like a mango tree or a avocado tree or a walnut tree Watch what happens during the winter months when the trees have grown large If I plant it right here in the middle of the garden The sun sits low in the sky even at noon so this entire section of the garden remains in shade all day long So I want to plant all of my tall trees down here leaving the rest of the garden with the shorter plants Thin-skinned fruits and vegetables all receive plenty of direct sunlight during winter And that's exactly what I did The first plants grown were ground covers and I used cowpea It's a low-growing plant that fixes nitrogen In the future it will become a plant cover It helps keep the soil warm and prevents most weeds from growing It took me just one day to plant all 70 trees Most of them will bear fruit and some will produce seeds and some will stay there only to support the larger trees until they are strong enough The root system of the support tree will carve deep pathways into the soil for the larger fruit trees which will later utilize those very channels in the ground after the supporting plants have died off Most supporting plants will only remain there during the first few years of the forest garden These large supporting trees grow quickly providing shade for sun-sensitive species And when you cut and drop their branches and leaves to the ground they nourish microorganisms and fungi generating a rich diversity of microbial activity in the soil It is precisely these that will nourish your plants Alright okay oh look it's starting to rain now But when it rains is actually the perfect time to plant trees right in the middle of the rain You see it's raining today perfect really just perfect for planting trees And since this little ditch is so smooth and soft I just need to press my thumb and hand down slightly like this Extend these small roots a little And just place it down like this Then I'll cover it with a few pieces of mushroom This is a fighting avocado plant Sometimes it's a bit tricky to remove the plant from the pot and you may need to squeeze and pull it out But the best way I've found is just to rest it on your lap or on the table give it a tap hold it steady and tap it like this With something so small look at the root system— it's root-bound This plant needs to be gently loosened a bit They're quite loose quite loose This one will be so happy to get down to the ground now I grew this plant from a seed in the soil and I'll give it a generous helping of this delicious rich soil on top A few hand fungi A blend of compost fermented cow manure and bone meal The plant will thrive there I promise A little saltwater mixed with rainwater was used to fill the healing tank It's not easy doing this alone Actually it's very heavy I'll lift this up a bit I'll press it down firmly Just look at these roots I just need to pull them apart slightly so they don't get tangled Break them apart so they don't grow in circles Wait One more thing I did that I think was quite clever was filling the ditch grooves with sawdust Gathering wood chips from the local sawmill I do this for two reasons First it feels incredibly pleasant under my bare feet A few monkeys there don't wear shoes in the forest And I'm the same way The remaining reason I filled the ditch gaps with sawdust is that it retains warmth more effectively over time It will become nourishment for the trees Within a few years or possibly even less It will be filled with mushrooms an immense hidden network beneath the surface If you imagine the soil as a vast supermarket or a health food store and plant roots as customers searching for nourishment Mycorrhizal fungi act as sales agents for plants telling them where beneficial resources are located and even help bring them all the way down to the roots through the countless tiny filaments connecting everything beneath At this stage I think I'm doing really well A food forest is ready All I need to do now is wait As you can see these small trees usually sprout beneath the canopy of their parent tree The mother tree's crown is the vital sanctuary that shields the seedling as it sprouts and rises into the world To lessen the strong wind and reduce direct harsh sunlight I made a mistake leaving everything out here exposed like this But I'm not panicking I'm staying calm and trying to picture how to I'll create something like a tree canopy I need to be the mother of this tree for a while until it's strong enough to care for itself And I did it And here is the current look of the shelter for my little tree I'm thoroughly delighted to feel as though I'm a gorilla In the dreams of childhood I hope you enjoyed this video I hope you learned something I hope this conversation inspires you to create your own food forest—a place where you can connect and also protect One day you'll be able to stroll around and eat whatever you like whenever you want Just like a gorilla like me So I hope you enjoyed the video I hope you learned something From these beautiful healthy and happy trees this time Wishing you a wonderful day and see you again soon I'll leave all these empty planters for you Have a wonderful day If you find this video helpful please
