"Throughout the European part of the Mediterranean – an area stretching from Greece through Italy, France and Spain, the coltura promiscua or coltura mista (translated as “promiscuous agriculture”, #polyculture or mixed farming) landscapes predominated in many regions.
Edible landscaping, #agroecology and #ForestGardening – the creation of productive environments conducive to human delectation and recreation that mimic the relationships, resilience, diversity, and dynamic processes of natural #ecosystems – are modern phrases for practices stretching back into earliest antiquity. Eden, Shangdu, the hanging gardens of Babylon, the floating gardens of Xochimilco, are all superlative examples of edible landscaping."

I'm trying a little test of Mastodon's reach, looking for #NorthernCalifornia people doing #agroforestry #AlleyCropping #silvopasture or #ForestGardening - I am especially interested to know how you're selling these products: direct/farmstand, distributor, or something else. Especially after watching https://youtu.be/M3B6oy1nz4A and seeing how badly farmers & ranchers are getting screwed, I don't want my money going to the "Big Four", while supporting #RegenerativeAgriculture

While some of the content of this article is debateable (fungi vs plants as lead operators when in fact IMO it's a symbiotic relationship where each needs the other) it has much of interest especially in building a mycorrhizal rich and productive food forest soil food web.

"A #ForestGarden mimics the structure & diversity of a natural forest #ecosystem. It typically consists of various layers of fruit & nut trees, berries, herbs, vegetables, & other edible plants, all grown together in a mutually beneficial way.
The goal is to create a self-sustaining system that requires minimal maintenance & inputs while providing a diverse range of food & habitat for wildlife."

Volunteering with the #forestgardening crew of @pawforestgarden@twitter.com in #Pevensey throughout 2022 has been a source of great solace & joy to me, & convinces me that #agroforestry is one of the key ecosystem restoration tools we have for resolving the #biodiversity & #climate crises.

@FreeRangePlay Really pleased to bump into you here as I'll be interested to learn more about your #ForestSchool and #ForestGardening activities. The community growing project that I belong to hosts various educational groups although I'm not involved in those myself.

Some great transferable ideas here too for growing undercover in cold climes.

I was serious.

I live in a lovely apartment with fabulous views of the #blueridgemountains.

But I miss being able to plant seeds and such, and build my own compost.

I love the idea of #ForestGardening.

But I cannot afford what is for sale or rent now.

I've moved my interests list out of my Bio as it was hitting size constraints 🤭

I’m working on a seasonal calendar for PNW #forestgardening. Trying to decide where the calendar begins. Gardening doesn’t run on a human calendar, and instead builds plant upon plant, leaf upon leaf, raindrop upon raindrop. What comes after is dependent on what came before. This difference became evident when I first began to work with PNW native perennials, which germinate in the fall cold & wet but don’t grow large until spring and summer. #seasonalsuccessinthepnw #yourgardenfriend #garden
