Ep. 26 – Creating a Backyard Food Forest in GA Zone 7b

Recorded on June 10th, 2023

This video is about the unsung work that goes into gardening. WEEDING. Unless you take measures to prevent them from happening in the first place: weed barrier, mulch, cardboard, etc, you’re gonna have to deal with it like I do. Here I chop and drop weeds to help replenish the clay soil we have here in Georgia.

I also show my idea of using terracotta vases as ollas in my various grow bags.

Also, special shoutout to my friend Malíssa Longo who is the artist that made my awesome shirt.
