Agroforestry Research Trust The Agroforestry Research Trust is a non-profit making charity, registered in England, which researches into temperate agroforestry and into all aspects of plant cropping and uses, with a focus on tree, shrub and perennial crops. We produce several publications and a quarterly journal, sell various other relevant books, and also sell plants (particularly fruit and nut trees and bushes), seeds and Parafilm grafting tap e.Agroforestry Research Trust Courses
The overall aim of this two day course is to give you an overview of how to design, implement and maintain a temperate forest garden. Course size: up to 25 participants. Practical information on tree crops, shrub crops, perennials and ground covers will be complemented with visits to our forest garden to look at our successes and failures, as well as to taste unusual leaf and fruit crops.Quiet Push for Agroforestry in U.S. - NYTimes.com
Designing & Planting Your Own Forest Garden: Selecting Trees for the Top Canopy
In my last blog I introduced the idea of forest gardening. In tropical and subtropical regions, forest gardens have been used for producing food and a few cash crops for thousands of years. Today, forest gardens can be quite small – you can grow one in a back yard as it is the principles and design that defines them – and they are usually no bigger than 2.5 acres. I n Kerala in south-west India and similarly in areas where traditional agriculture is still practised in Haiti, forest gardening is relatively easy.Edible Forest Gardens About Forest Gardening
Let's explore the edible forest gardening idea in some detail. The forest gardening vision leads us to explore forest ecology. Forest ecology is the basis for effective design and practice.How to Make a Forest Garden (9781856230087): Patrick Whitefield: Books
In many climates around the world, forest is the natural state of vegetation. It grows without anyone's say-so. It takes no human effort at all for nature to be sustainable, diverse, productive, multi-dimensional, and beautiful. However, most people's gardens, even food gardens, are really none of these, despite large amounts of effort on the part of the gardeners. So what would it be like to garden in tune with nature, to grow a forest garden, with many of the features of a natural forest, and little of the labour usually involved in gardening?Le jardinage forrestier - "Forrest Garden" - Robert Hart - à la Courdémière...
La permaculture est un ensemble de pratiques et un mode de pensée visant à définir un usage du territoire respectueux de l’homme et de son environnement (tous deux interdépendants) et à mettre en place un mode de vie durable (Holmgren, 2006). C’est un système intégré conçu pour répondre au défi de la survie de l’ensemble de la planète et de ses habitants. D’où le terme permaculture, qui est une contraction de l’expression "permanent culture", ou on retrouve l’idée de durabilité (Ekopedia). En accord avec les principes éthiques de base (prendre soin des hommes et de la nature, créer de l’abondance et redistribuer les surplus...), des stratégies et des techniques sont sans cesse développées. Une des stratégies les plus populaires avec celle du Verger-potager de Phil Corbett est le « forrest gardenning » de Robert Hart.Fences of Fruit Trees
"Almost anyone who has a backyard or garden would do well to plant fruit trees for the years ahead. Most fruit trees, though, take more years to mature than most of us have to prepare, and take up more space than most of us have in cities or suburbs. Luckily, only a few centuries ago master gardeners developed a way to cultivate fruit in narrow spaces – one that yields more fruit, more quickly, and with a longer growing season. Espalier is a method of growing a dwarf fruit tree along a wall or fence, binding it for support, and bending the branches to follow certain lines, as Japanese artists do with bonsai trees. Most gardeners started espaliers with a “maiden,” a one-year-old sapling that had not yet forked, and tied it to a staff of wood to keep it straight. Then they tied the desired branches to the fence or wall as they emerged, bending and pruning aggressively as the tree grew.A Mouscron, le potager le plus dense est sans conteste celui de Gilbert et Josine Cardon.
