79 Fruit Trees on 1/10th of an Acre Lot (Urban Homestead Tour)



Imagine having 79 fruit trees on a 4,400 sq ft lot! Growing food in the city (and in a small space) is easier than you might imagine. Join us in this Florida vegetable garden mini series as we go on an urban homestead tour of a south Florida food forest that borders central Florida. See what they have done on their 1/10 of an acre lot to become self sufficient in just 5 years time. And get some urban homesteading ideas and tips for beginners who don’t know the first thing about food forests (that’s what they were just 5 years ago).

    Bill the adventurous gardener? Bill the outstanding entertainer? Bill the gifted author? My goodness, what else do you do that you're hiding from the world?

    I wish I were younger. I would absolutely have this. But I do have a small start thanks to this channel. Elise is wonderful. She got me started and inspired to get back to gardening. SItting here right now cleaning my Malabar, New Zeland and perpetual spinach I just harvested along with mint and basal.

    I have a question. I'd like to plant a lot of trees in the backyard (except for in the area where our beautiful oak trees died and the trunks are still in the ground). Still, I'd like to plant around it. How do you plant that many trees and not have the roots fighting for space between trees?
