Do you want to create a sustainable food forest and garden in your backyard, but don’t know how to start? Plenty of beginning gardeners want to grow their own food, but aren’t sure they can handle the maintenance. Put all of those worries aside — this book will walk you through every step.

First, you will learn how to plan an eco-friendly garden that will work with whatever space you have available. If you have a decent-sized front or backyard, then you’re all set. But what if you live in an apartment or have a tiny yard? No problem! You can effectively garden in:

• Window boxes
• Indoor buckets
• Patio trellises
• Raised beds

After you determine what you want to grow and where, you’ll learn what plants can help your crops flourish. You’ll also learn environmentally friendly methods for maintaining your garden, such as:

• Water-wise gardening that cuts down on water usage
• Making your own compost from food and yard waste
• Using natural approaches to pest control

If you follow the steps in this book to create an eco-friendly, sustainable food forest, you and your loved ones will benefit from the delicious fruits, vegetables, and herbs you grow in your own space.

You’ll be amazed at the bounty you’ll harvest from such a small space without having to expend too much effort or too many resources. It’s possible to create a sustainable food forest around your home, and this book will show you how.

misleading

3/4 of the way done listening. so far this is mainly about a plain garden with beds, not specifically toward a food forest. Also, half of this info is just regurgitating common “knowledge” that’s not necesarily true

Not about food forestry

This work is detailed in gardening information for annual crops, it’s not actually about food forests which is the only reason it’s getting a low rating (I was tricked out of my credit). It’s very informative well written and superbly performed. Just a highly misleading title and description.
