the gardening channel with James Priogoni on youtube.

that's where the food forest idea came from, then I watched back to eden gardening, and a bunch of other yt videos.

those are the "wood chippers".

I'm west central florida/zone 9/10 and winter has become weather weird rainwise. For a long time we got none at this time, This year we've been having almost weekly showers. I keep 5 55 gal barrels and about 30 one gal milk jugs of water for the dry times. It amazes me how little water the deep cardboard requires to stay moist under the chips

One of these days I'll learn to post pix on DU and show how it's working for me.
