Trying to convince my wife to turn our lawns into a food forest. We have about an acre of lawn both front and back that are just weed gardens most of the time. I'd love to completely turn them into food forests.
Did you do it yet? Even a mini fruit "guild" would be awesome, the freshest whole food
Lol I can relate to that, start with a 30 x 50 area. Get down those wood chips, start some trees and keep expanding each year fill in all the space with perennials.
Another very useful tip...Replace your grass seed in the rest of your yard with red and white clover. Clover is edible, even though it is grass like and it is perennial. The leaves taste like spinach and the flowers have a sweetness similar in taste to honey. Delicious!!

You can tell he's in his element. He communicates this topic so amazingly.
With every failure comes the seed of an equivalent success! That is beautifully put!
I love how much James garden is so natural feeling. It's not some perfect structured layout, it has a great feel to it.
I was shocked to see James come walking out yet not surprised because I have been learning from James since I started wanting to garden. You know when the pandemic hit. And you can learn so much from him and we all know knowledge is power. So let's grow y'all.
Just found this video, I am starting a food forest, exactly what I needed, thanks a lot
This made my day. Absolutely love James P’s channel. 2 of my favourite people in one place. I have learnt so much from him . Obviously here as watch Your channel aswell. Thank you so much for bringing this to us .
Awesome tips! I made a good forest myself. Within 5 years I created rich producing paradise in my backyard. Can't live without it. Ready to make 4 more, 2 in Northern Arizona and 2 in Europe! For starters .....congratulations on your work. The 2 most important things II noticed are mulching (chop and drop) and growing to close together in the first years.. I grow in the desert and it keeps more moist and support for the plant community.♥️🌼🌺🥰💖
Great, so shall we plant very close trees or more distant?
Canopy tree, mulberry, which is also used by orchard growers to draw birds to eat the mulberries and leave the other fruit trees alone....
(Potted trees in box stores have bugs that you don’t want in your garden, often including roaches).
I love to walk my gardens! I'm probably out there more than i should be... I think my neighbors might roll their eyes a lot... But i love to watch everything grow and spread and bloom!
Me too, and so what! My wife ridicules it, neighbors probably notice... But they're all generally unhealthy too. Free exercise, stress relief, less pollution, and eating fresh superfoods. What downside is there to that??
How can one be in a garden too much. Where else would you rather be? Me too. Love being with the Plant people. :-)
This is one of the best gardening collaborations on UA-cam imo. Many thanks to you , I've been a subscriber for well over 3 years and discovered James about a year ago. Both of you guys have changed the way I Garden and I can't thank you enough. Keep up the good work, sir. ;)
Awh thank you so much that means so much to both of us as that is exactly why we create this content!
I love people like you you're not trying to charge for it tell people how it is that's the way people should be I love you man thanks
You're very welcome!
This video was clear, concise and packed with information. In a short time I felt like I was really able to grasp such an incredible journey! I can tell just how passionate James is about this, he didn't even have to say it. It emanates from his energy and the diligence he put behind his presentation. Thanks for sharing this!
This sort of education is needed right now! get ready for an explosion in views over the next 5 years :)
Yes pls call me this is Murali Krishna call me India
We have to be at work
Indeed. Very accessible for a lot of folk. Well placed. Quite like it. Good on all of you.
Love James..been following him for three years.. I used his wisdom to create my food forest..
Been subbed to James for a few years, A great channel and well worth people subscribing.
UK Here We Grow Absolutely if he keeps at it I know more will keep subscribing to him
Yes he and Huw both have fantastic channels
Absolutely always great to see more spreading the word of organic sustainable home gardening
Agree totally
James P is one of my favorite Utube gardeners including you!
Thanks for doing this collab! You guys are both great!
Huw, Thank you very much for the info you put out there. This video was excellent, James has passion so awesome his video was so well put together and narriated. The visual of his three plotts was very helpful I have a 100ac. forest I am incorporating into a food forest I have already bought 40 fruit trees that I will plant this year along with as many herds and spices and veggies as I can. I will keep you updated on my success and failures. Thank you Huw and James Prigioni great job
When you start building your soil, that happens fasters if you use "green" woodchips. That means using chips made from both the branches and the leaves of treas. The smaller branches and the leaves will start decomposing faster (a few months) and start delivering the nutrition for the plants. The bigger woodchips only start decomposing after a year. And of course, like you said, ad a new layer every year. After 2 or three year you can also use just woodchips because the layers of the previous years will be decomposing and adding to the soil.
Great video by the way. you've got a new subscriber with me.
You can also use all that cardboard or paper you’d normally recycle or throw out. Simply break the boxes down, strip off any plastic tape, labels, or staples and spread the cardboard and paper over the grass a couple layers deep. Soak it with water and cover it with compost, straw, or sawdust. Do this in the fall and in the spring you can plant right into the decomposed material. This method can create thick, rich soil quickly.
But would these remove most nitrogen from the soil?
@@prodotpuypuysworld2490 The smaller branches of trees (and the leaves as Jelle Baris suggests), have a lower Carbon to Nitrogen ratio, this means when fungi break them down it won't cause a nitrogen deficiency. The larger parts of a tree, big branches and tree trunks have a larger Carbon-Nitrogen ratio so Nitrogen will need to be extracted from surrounding soil in order to break them down. I hear people say, just put it on the top layer, not mixed in, but as soon as you go to plant something, some of the wood chips will get mixed in. Obviously James has this figured out as his garden is exquisite! Hope that helps.
This is the most legit video/tutorial I have viewed. There is so much you covered. I can even see how you can elaborate on each of the tips. Thank you so much for putting in the work and sharing your wisdom.
So much passion. New Jersey is INDEED the garden state. The Prigioni Forest Garden!
Thanks, Huw. Love James Prigioni!
You are both like the coolest big brother to me that I'm thankful to have on UA-cam teaching us so much! Thanks for all the time you invest in us and it's so cool that you two collaborated!
James Prigioni is fantastic. Love his channel. Another fab collaboration.
This is the most to-the-point video on Food forest. Thanks!
Great Video. The Growing popularity of Food Forests really gives me and Lots of other People Hope for our Planet and Our Future! Thanks for Sharing!
I have started my food forest this year after watching James. Thanks for the inspiration James.
Shawn Rondeau me2
So how is it going after 5 months? :)
Two great channels 👍🏼 I have watched James for years now. One of the few channels I seen just explode.
I've done straw every other year and woodchips from local farmers one year. You gave so many tips that are good for us... thank you!
Thank you for all the great tips!!!
I love this food forest style! I am in the process of converting my lawn into my Victory kitchen garden… I will certainly keep these great tips in mind! I want to become more self-sustainable and help the community! I love growing food!!! I come from a farming family and until recently we bought our own home so I am so excited to put into work the old and the new!
Thank you very much!
“All-natural forest have 7 layers:
1. Canopy Trees - example mulberry
2. Subcanopy tree - example apple, pear and peach trees
3. Bush layer - example blueberries and raspberries
4. Herbaceous layer - example annuals like tomatoes and peppers.
5. Groundcover - example strawberries
6. Climbers/ vining - example grapes
7. Root crops - example carrots and horseradish
Have faith and resistance!”
Thank you for making this video! We just bought a house with a big lawn and were looking for a way to start our own food forest. The way you presented it and explained it was so motivational and beautiful, now you've got me really pumped! 💚
Whoa! 399 Subscribers! So close to the next bullseye 🎯
Congratulations 👏
You really deserve it, Huw!👩🌾🌿
Haha...I meant 399,000! Then I saw you jumped to 400K. I have 318 with no 000🤣
I heard a great thought...
When your Passion meets your Purpose nothing can stop you.
I think I just described you 🌿💚🌿
Awh thank you so so much I really appreciate that😊
What a beautiful garden!! Fantastic ideas
Plant what you will eat, then you will be healthier, richer, and happier
agree 1000%
But don’t forget the meat I mean like meat with no skin like chicken steak bacon all that sorta good stuff
My favorite collaboration!! Love this video! Keep up the great work you two!
Thank you so much! :)
I'm starting a new food forest, This was a very helpful video. Thanks!
Me too! It works. It's beautiful, peaceful, restful and provides privacy. It provides sustenance and much savings which is a win/win during these economic times.
This is great. I was surprised you did not mention using the guild system for your trees and plants. That seems as important if not more than the woodchips.
What is the guild system? 😊
James Prigioni is the BEST!!! I absolutely love his channel. I get so much inspiration from what he shares. Love this collaboration!!!
He is doing amazing things and deserves every success!
I like how he calls his allotment a small one...that's way bigger than I've ever see..looks neat. I gave up my allotment this year due to health, but i still like to see what others do ;-)
I watch James faithfully. One thing that I want to point out is that with the wood chips, one should always move the chips aside to plant/seed directly into the soil not into the wood chips. The nutrients are not readily available in the chips, but are abundant in the soil underneath. Watch James' channel to learn n his process! So educational!!
Love James! Such an inspiration! God Bless!
Best to know your wood chips before you apply. Trees often die from insect damage and disease. The last thing a gardener wants is an imported disease so form a relationship with a knowledgeable arborist. You'll get disease free chips and lots of them.
Lastly, your local county extension service is full of master gardeners looking to help you. Take advantage of that knowledge.
They might suggest a soil test which is a great place to start.
Understanding the nature of soil is helpful to the gardener and I suggest a book that makes it easy to understand. Its called Teaming with Microbes.
Actually I really feel that literary my plants communicate with me everyday... it´s seems crazy but I don´t mind :) I listen to them
It doesn’t seem crazy to me. In fact plants are capable of communicating in their own way! =)
Just be careful, some brassicas can be two faced and will borrow money then duck your phone calls

I knew there was a problem in my garden when the marigolds whispered to me to leave the gate open and let the deer in.... the roses were casting too much shade over the marigolds and every plant knows the deer will eat the roses down to the soil but not touch the marigolds until several other plants (including the roses) are gone.....
My garden is like a bad neighborhood, with gangs competing all the time for land and “income” (light and nutrients).
Sounds pretty legit to me ;) but mine talk to me too!
Sameeeeeee
James is the BEST!
Thank you so much for putting up this inspiring content; we wish everyone in the world could do this.
I started planting my food forest after watching James and Tuck in theirs.
Awesome and very informative! I'm live in Orlando, wish I had someone here to guide me. I'm trying to do the same🤔 in this yard of sand. 😊
For peach leave curl or pear spots or vine diseases use copper wire turned into bracelets and put around the trunk. You wll be surprised to see the result. Nectarine curled leaves turned healthy in two weeks.
Everyone in the world will appreciate these tips! Thank you for your work and vision.
Try spraying moral mushroom spore in your garden I think you will have an amazing spring harvest .
Thanks for the video. "Fungus are the teeth of the forest." Lucky he has such a fearsome looking dog to keep those New Jersey squirrels and rabbits away. Cheers.
I came back to this show so that I could take notes for this year's back yard
My hobby is gardening, this channel really nice, i will clean over grown grass around my house, and make large garden..love it
James, you always an inspiration to watch. Very pleased to watch your videos specially the "full forest tours".
This helped me so Much - it doesn’t seem so overwhelming
Oh man this collab just made my day!!!! 🥰🍓🌼
Good content! Plus the way he talks fast and pops out of everywhere is kinda funny hahaha
much love and gratitude
Sustainability is the only key to make our planet green...
Awesome info. Just got a 2-acre ranch on dry land ): but this gives me hope. I subscribed to learn more- thank you!
Fantastic vid and so much great info. Thank you SO much for sharing! I have been researching this topic for a couple years now to put in my front yard. Now I have better research items to try to make this a reality
Thanks for the great content. A couple of quick and genuine questions. If woodchips create a fungal dominated soil great for trees and woody species, but herbaceous annuals like a bacteria-dominated soil, how is a woodchip covered food forest catering for these kinds of plants? How would you cater for those plants? Also, are there any catches I should be aware of in using woodchip to cover the 'forest floor', anything to avoid or be aware of? Thank you
I wondered that too!!! I don’t care about growing trees. I want the vegetables! I’m not sure but one downside of wood chips I think is ticks.
Listening to your comment about there being no such thing as failure made me think of this:
*“Maxim 70: Failure is not an option. It is mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do. -The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries”* ― Howard Tayler (creator of the webcomic Schlock Mercenary)
James...awesome! Just finished watching some of your videos.
I discovered the Forest M.O. Method ("FoMo") by accident as the neighbors tree encroached. I planted Fruit trees and been throwing down Pine Nuggets for years now and gardening around and within it. Yep, 7 layers of lovin'! Nuggets seemed easier to rake off the Pin Oak aftermath, and retain more mulch. Creating the environment and stealing my neighbors worms for years gives me much satisfaction! Remember, if your gonna grow, go FoMo!
You forgot the most important tip: Garden Security, taught by Tuck!
Thank you for creating this channel. Been watching a lot of your videos, always great and simple, like it should be. A lot of happiness, back to you, man.
Excellent and simple info! You've inspired me to think bigger with my space.
Such a great vid...very informative n motivating...u guys r giving us strong gardening goals.....keep doing that...
This was really motivating (after my many failures) thanks!
Mike Bloomberg said any idiot can be a farmer. Looks like there's a little more to it.
gcxred4kat9
When a moron that has NEVER done something, says that “thing” is easy, you should do your own research and consider that moron as just that, a moron....
Mayor stop and frisk is a billionaire that keeps his money or uses it to push his politics, but says ooor people should have more of their money taken from them to also push his political agenda...there are two words to describe that, one is tyrant, the other is asshole! (Pardon my language)
As a plant science major married to an agronomist, I think that Mike Bloomberg might be the one with low intelligence. Farmers have to know crops, climate, chemistry and government regulations, as well as marketing, accounting and management practices.
UGH bloomberg >:(
The man who spent millions on a campaign and failed extravagantly? 😂
Pretty sure Bloomberg would be more useful as fertiliser but apparently planting marigolds will repel him too
Every(blumberg) got an asshole,therefor got a opinion (on farmers)......
Amazing. Where I live, blueberries are canopy trees! Funny how nature works. They grow tall really fast and need to be cut (not just trim, cut whole branches and leave the main tree stock) every two years to control their growth.
Bern watching both of you guys a few years now. Cool you connected. have faith and let Gods nature tell you what it wants. Awesome
Praise our Lord Jesus Christ
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." John 1:1-5 (KJV)
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John 1:14 (KJV)
@@Beans-he3xi little do people know what is about to happen. Stay in the faith and keep your eyes open.
Even those gardeners who work with gods perfect creation dont realize his perfect handywork in nature. Pray for them. These gardeners are awesome and have helped me so much. Hope to see them in the sky.
Blessings to you Beans and thank you for your post as I hope it is as seed well planted for his Glory.
crossing Are you talking about the very soon return of our Lord Jesus for His bride? God bless you from northern california!
@@ptrainingbytim Absolutely yes I am. The bride is ready, waiting and watching daily. Rapture is imminent. The signs of the last generation closing up. Doing my gardening extra abundantly for those left behind. Maybe I will get some strawberries for myself....lol........glad to hear a family member among us here in the youtube gardening circle. See you in the clouds.
All Glory to God......Grace by faith......Blessings to you and your loved ones.
I am some practical questions/requests/ideas: it would be great if there was an online resource second list off plants and trees based on what part of the canopy layers they like to occupy. Obviously a Vining plant is going to be a vine; what is an oak tree for example canopy or sub canopy?
Also how close together would you want to plant canopy trees? Suppose I have 100 acres and I wanna make the whole hundred acres a food forest do I wanna cover the whole thing and canopy trees every square 200 feet? More? less?
Lastly it would be nice to have a list of what food producing trees are sub canopy trees. When I think of fruit trees like citrus plums or apples I typically think of them in full sunlight not under the canopy of taller trees. Or perhaps we want these trees planted between the larger canopy trees where there is sunlight? It would be nice to maybe just have a little clarification on that.
Thank you both, I love what you doing!
Awesome 👍....to see both of you guys in the same video!!!....The only way it could be better??? Is if Charles Dowding's were in it , too😀
Wow, amazing tips and examples! Very helpful.
you had me at 'no one waters it'
i'm in!
thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Amazing video. So clear and insightful
I see little Toto came along! So sweet...thanks for these great tips guys!
This is amazing ! :) I learnt alot from a single video! I was wondering if you had any tips about water needs / irrigation. When you say sustainable , does it mean these systems even though they are over a small space becomes self reliant wrt water needs and in the long run nutrition needs ?
Very interesting. Never thought about food production like this before!
Love from South Africa!! I really enjoyed this video brother! Keep it up, you're an inspiration.
Love James & his fabulous garden.
TLC = enjoy the work of nature, raindrops, sunlight, polinators, ......= profit from hard work in time !!
Great summary man, nicely done.
Great job on the collab with JP! He's the greatest permaculturist of our generation!
I plan to start a (hopefully) self sufficient garden when I move into a house soon. More land for the plants along with chickens
Outstanding video! This guy is a natural communicator and who wouldn't want that amazing garden?!! Really enjoyed this, thank you
Natasha Nagy I am one who does believe we have an afterlife. When people like this guy starts talking about streets of gold, and stuff out of supposed Christian tradition he loses me. Most experience the unconditional love and he is as so many Christians are , exclusive. I just don’t buy it, and his wife is as a tv evangelist,
Jim Willeford I'm Australian so have no idea who this person is, I just enjoyed the video. Instant red flags go up when you mention tv evangelist, thanks for the context. I'm going to have another look now quickly to get a better perspective. Thanks!
love both your videos! i have been subscribed to both of you for a long time. keep up the good work!
Thank you :D
Great ideas!!
What a great collaboration, well done guys!
Thank you John!
Cool...James rocks!!!🐞🐝🌻
I agree! :D
