Old man trail pt 2 - making a food forest from scratch using free leaf bags.

4 years ago

Today we continue making the old man trail - a food forest that I will forage when I'm 70 years old - a long winding labyrinth like path in my lower 1/4 to 1/2 acre. We are going to make it entirely with free materials. We are setting it up early, using free leaf bags as the sheet mulch, and letting that soil convert for roughly 1-2 years until we plant in it. We are changing our land forever, with a small action.

Remember, the point of this channel is that I'm just a dude with a job and kids and a wife. I have no tools (just truck and trailer and shovel). I don't have a team of WWOOFers behind me, I don't have excavators and bulldozers. I just have my own old man body. If I can do it, anyone can do it.
