Suburban Florida Back Yard Food Forest Tour 

In this video I am visiting my mom in her Florida backyard food forest. This food forest is situated on less than a quarter acre, but that hasn't stopped us from growing an abundance of food and medicinal herbs. This tropical food forest features mulberry, bananas, multiple varieties of figs, passion fruit, persimmon, ginger, turmeric, katuk, and many more perennials. However, getting to this point of abundance came with a set of challenges that we had to overcome. The biggest challenge that we faced was constant flooding since this property is located at sea level. In this video I will share how we were able to divert the water away from our plants and use the abundance of water to our advantage. I will also share some of the permaculture practices we adopted to keep our food forest thriving without the use of chemicals.
