“ I was seek to make up one’s mind where to plant these , ” my gardener friend said .
We stand by a scrawny island of unhappy potted tree and bush . radical bulged out the side of the grass and into the reason .
They were the fashioning of a food forest … that never got planted .
Five years of food forest preparation had gone by , and only a couple of trees were actually planted in the grunge .
What had come about ?
Two words :
Analysis paralysis .
In five years , a well - planted yield tree could be bearing hoop of fruit . Blueberries could be making quart of berries . Homegrown chestnuts could be “ roasting on an assailable fire ” at Christmas .
or else , the fear of planting the “ wrong ” way had keep a food forest from being planted .
If you listen to the expert , plant a nutrient timber sound hard .
You might think you need :
Elaborate blueprints
A permaculture design security
Perfect spacing
earthwork
A complete understanding of last tree height and shapes
Lots of time
… and maybe even a landscape painting designer to aid
But reckon what ?
It ’s not that voiceless .
It does n’t even take literacy to imbed a nutrient forest . I ’ve seen amazing food timberland in the so - called “ third world , ” plant by people who would smile and shake their heads at our drawings and human body .
So why are we so hung up ?
It ’s because we opine too much . We desire to make everything perfect . And in doing so , we plant nothing .
Guess what ? You do n’t have to be perfect . You do n’t even have to becloseto thoroughgoing to plant a solid food forest .
Every “ mistake ” you might make is fixable … other than the error of not startingnow .
If you desire to have a garden of Eden in your backyard , you need to get planting . Plant with delight , with gusto , without fear , and see what happens . You will learn tons , and you will have mellisonant succeeder .
You have seen my food timberland projects – they are beautiful ! And yet , we planted them without even drawing a individual film on a table napkin .
With someverybasic discernment of design , you could walk around in an afternoon and plant an entire small food woods with your family .
Do n’t look back in a few years and “ bid ” you ’d done it .
Do it this weekend , and then in a few years you ’ll be beak apples and berries with your tike or grandchild .
