800m² Thành Rừng Thực Phẩm Hành Trình Tự Cung Tự Cấp Giữa Thành Phố

From a barren, empty plot like this, it has now taken on an entirely new appearance. And I am truly grateful for having discovered sustainable ecological agriculture. our wonderful companion on this journey, instead of harvesting all at once in large quantities. I also do not follow the recommended tree planting distances. Because I plan to prune them regularly to control their height. I have decided to buy a fruit tree with exposed roots. Instead of plants already grown in pots, their roots are much more extensive, And it is also easier for the plant to directly establish a symbiotic relationship with Michael Rajev's roots. I followed the call of my heart to seek the true meaning of a good life. How can one define true wealth and true health? Because even though they were not lacking money and had no physical ailments or suffering, Yet deep inside, I have always longed to find emotions such as joy, surprise, and fulfillment. Five months have passed since the day I turned the first shovelful of earth. to create a food forest right in their backyard, in the heart of the city. From a barren piece of land like this, it has now taken on an entirely new appearance. In this video, I want to take you into a room to admire the current results. at the same time, share the reasoning behind this design of mine. But first, let me tell you a story. In 2021, I followed the call of my heart to seek the true meaning of a good life. How can one define true wealth and true health? Because even though they were not lacking money and had no physical ailments, but deep inside, I have always longed to find emotions such as joy, Surprise, satisfaction, and the feeling of completeness in this modern lifestyle. So, I shouldered my backpack and began the journey to find the answer for myself. During that adventure, I made friends with many wonderful people. They taught me skills that a girl growing up in the city and the countryside like me had never been taught. They taught me how to forage for food around me, how to read and understand the language of nature. Ways of making a living by following the tides. They taught me how to build a home and how to grow my own food to create an endless supply of sustenance. It's truly very uncooperative. And each time I personally witness the enchanting spaces created by people with their whole hearts, The more I realize how poorly I managed to do the same thing. In all those gentle hiding places. I continuously come across the concept of sustainable agro-ecology. Permaculture—and I am certain that I want to incorporate those methods into my own project. Therefore, I returned home and began nurturing the dream of what I could do. In this tiny space, to recreate that miracle by myself. Because it owns only a mere 800 m², I know I must make the most of every bit of land available in order to grow all the types of food I desire. I really like the idea of creating a food fog because you can utilize every level of space. high, middle, and low tiers for growing various fruits, vegetables, and useful medicinal plants. The first thing I need to do is plant all kinds of fruit trees. because they need a few years before they start yielding harvest. I have decided to buy a fruit tree with exposed roots instead of a tree already grown in a pot. For a few reasons, they are much easier and significantly lighter, as they do not come with soil. Moreover, exposing the roots helps prevent them from becoming root-bound. And it is also easier for the plant to directly establish symbiotic mycorrhizal roots into the plant's roots. I also want to try growing different types of fruit trees, such as apples and pears. The types of plants considered quite challenging to grow in the hot and humid climate where I live. Buying root trees has helped me save money and enabled me to purchase more trees. With the mindset that if by any chance one of the plants should die, at least I would have learned a valuable lesson from it. My greatest goal is to grow as many different plant varieties as possible. to evenly distribute the harvesting period and ensure a constant supply of fruit and continuously rather than harvesting all at once. I also do not follow the recommendations regarding tree planting distances. Because I plan to prune them regularly to control their height. To date, the garden has already featured peaches, lychees, guavas, black sapotes, peaches, grapes, figs, pears, apples, longans, star fruits, and oranges as well. Beneath the fruit trees, I intermingle various types of long-term crops. Some are sugar-producing plants such as asparagus and artichoke. while others serve a supportive function, such as the wooden wine stand. The stilt root tree has taproots that penetrate deep into the ground, enabling it to access valuable minerals. Their leaves can be used as a source of nutrition for other plants. through pruning and removing cover crops, or by composting them into organic fertilizer. I am also cultivating various medicinal plants such as mugwort, intending to make medicinal alcohol, as well as bitter herbs. I've heard they thrive exceptionally well in the harsh, hot weather conditions here, which is also a significant advantage. I also grow a Western honeysuckle, a long-lived climbing plant and a cold-hardy native species. It does not only yield delicious fruit, but also brings forth flowers of extraordinary beauty. but also creates an ideal living environment for the native Fritillary butterfly species. There is a plant, rhizome, which is also a common crop in ecological agriculture, and I truly love its appearance. It has the function of healing wounds, but I cherish it mainly for its delicate beauty, as light and fragile as a feather. In a food forest, beauty is no less important than functionality. Climbing plants such as melons and pumpkins sprawl wildly across the ground, while lotuses bloom among the fruit tree roots. Seize the sunlight while the tree canopy above hasn't yet closed. They not only provide a food source but also form a natural ground cover layer. To help the wood chips decompose faster, they will ultimately be transformed into nutrient-rich humus. We also grow additional cút vu and xanh chóc plants to harvest their delicious tubers, similar to potatoes. At the same time, create shade nets oriented toward the southwest to provide shade for young fruit trees. One of the core principles of ecological agriculture is multifunctional integration. And I think the quail and pumpkin are perfect examples of this principle. Looking back, I think that before embarking on this adventure, I always approached things with a proactive mindset. Enjoying the joy brought by others' creativity. Whether it's a newly released movie or a newly opened restaurant in the city, I have never truly been proactive in creating inspiring experiences for myself. and no matter how much money I spend trying to buy that satisfaction, I've always felt that something was missing. But now everything is different; we can personally handle rare fruits and vegetables. but you'll never find in a supermarket, and always moving from one surprise to another before the diverse ecosystem that they themselves have created. We began to develop a passion for fermenting the foods we ourselves grew. and truly overwhelmed by the rich, intense flavor, the bursting abundance of fresh agricultural products nurtured by the fertile motherland. We have stepped out of a repetitive life centered on consumption, so that now we may live a complete life of creation. We feel deeply grateful for what nature has bestowed upon us. And all these miracles begin with the courage to reimagine your own lawn. I am eagerly looking forward to our food forest growing day by day. and I am truly grateful for having discovered sustainable ecological agriculture, Our wonderful companion on this journey. Have a wonderful day. If you find the video helpful, please like, subscribe to the channel, and turn on the notification bell for new videos. And share to support us, please.
