When I left my permaculture design course I was fairly comfortable walking the landscape and looking for areas of shade or full sun, and tracking how that would change throughout the day. To walk barefoot after a brief rain to feel where the soil drained quickly or to find spots where water pooled, even if I couldn’t see it with my eyes. To build either a water or an A-frame level to plot and map contours. I knew how to make a base map, a plant list, and to use those to put together a design. With shears and a pocket knife, I could prune limbs or loosen pot-bound roots. With a shovel and spade, I could dig holes and put plants in the ground.

A non-technical exploration of questions to consider when you decide you want to start a food forest, based on Owen's question:"How do you convert a lawn to a food forest?" Resources:Philadelphia Orchard ProjectEdible Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist by Michael Judd
In this episode, I use the question from Owen:"Are there kinds of soil additives I should be using or should stay away from? Conventional wisdom is to look for balanced fertilizer, but I don’t know how much conventional wisdom overlaps with permaculture."to look more broadly at using initial, imported, industrial inputs to create a long-term, sustainable, fertility system around four areas:1. Collecting Organic Matter2. Harvesting Household Waste3. Using Biology4. Cover Cropping This is an overview of these ideas. If you'd like me to go deeper on any part of this in an upcoming episode, have thoughts of your own to expand on these ideas, or disagree with me entirely, leave a comment so we can continue the conversation.
