Bazman's food forest over 9 years

[bazman]

Hi All

I thought I would share part of my journey and how my own food forest has developed from 2003 to 2012 over a series of 10 photos.





















This is a before and after from the end of the Food Forest.




And the journey continues. =)

What happened to the rain water tank and why was the stuffed animal being hung out on the clothes-line-of-doom?

Interesting to see that you didn't go with the destroy all the grass first and then plant trees option. Yet it ended up that way in the end.

Interesting to see that 2 of the thirstiest trees have been left in place and not succeeded out. 2 of my favourites too.

Baz loves to rise to a challenge.

Just check his Blog site and the water tank turned into a raised garden, still no clue of how Tigger is going!

Bazman, I don't see any rain harvesting earthworks in the photos. Did you do a lot of irrigating initially, or is it all on natural rainfall? If natural rainfall, how much rain do you get annually?

Thanks!
