Frequently asked gardening related questions
A food forest (or forest garden) is an organic gardening system that mimics a natural woodland ecosystem, producing edible yields. It consists of multiple layers (canopy, understory, shrubs, herbaceous plants, groundcover, root crops, climbers), all growing together symbiotically. It's inherently organic, relying on natural processes for fertility, pest control, and water management, creating a highly productive, low-maintenance, and resilient ecosystem that yields a variety of fruits, nuts, berries, and vegetables.
