We have been too busy down here to spend much time on the computer but intend to do a weekly comment about what we are up to to keep this forum more alive. This you tube clip has had over 400,000 views in a year and is attracting a lot of people wanting to come and have an educational tour of our Forest garden.

Features our food forest!
Hi everyone, I have just purchased a half acre with a house on the edge of Hamilton. I heard about food forests from a friend and have been hunting down information for the last couple of weeks. The area where I would like to plant my food forest is a south facing slope with a flat area at the bottom next to a ditch (apparently the flat area does flood sometimes in winter). What I would like to know is, will a 'U' shapped shelter belt, open to the north, still work on a site like this? And if not, does anyone have any reccomendations?
Would you like your Food Forest to be included on a map charting the different projects up & down New Zealand? Please follow the instructions through the link...
