Minisode 7 - Cob Cabin Update - Trees Planted for Food Forest

This minisode goes quickly through the different tree species we planted recently that comprise the top layer of our drought-tolerant food forest. We will go through the characteristics of each species in separate blogs/minisodes as well as definitions and design considerations for food forests. In a nutshell, a food forest is a regenerative multi-level food system - from tall trees, down to ground cover, you utilize space much more efficiently. The goal is to mimic patterns found in old growth forests to minimize human input (like water and fertilizers) and work.
