How much space do I need for a food forest?

You can start small; we designed a food forest on 700 square feet in Orlando that is loaded with over 40 food and medicine producers. You can yield more in the same square footage as an annual garden by utilizing food forest layers.

How much will a food forest installation cost?

Costs are estimates based on the entire design space. We often phase out installations based on your budget to ensure the successful establishment of thriving edible gardens.

How much does it cost to plant a fruit tree?

Costs depend on tree size (including planting): Small (1-5 gallon) is $130–$330; Medium (6-15 gallon) is $330–$700; Large (15-25 gallon) is $700–$1,800.

How much does it cost to plant berry bushes?

Costs depend on bush size (including planting): Small (1-2 gallon) is $60–$130; Medium (3-5 gallon) is $130–$250.

What is the difference between a traditional garden and a food forest?

A traditional garden is usually composed of annuals that need replanting every year, while a food forest is a multi-layered, perennial system that mimics nature. Once established, it is more resilient and produces food across seven layers.

How does the 'Foodification' process work?

The Foodification process involves assessing your site's unique conditions, designing a layout that utilizes natural principles, and installing a custom, scalable edible landscape that works with your specific climate.

Can I have a food forest in a small backyard?

Yes. We specialize in designing for any scale. By utilizing vertical space and layered planting, we can maximize food production even in modest, suburban backyard footprints.

Do I need to use pesticides or fertilizers in a food forest?

Our goal is to work with nature. By choosing diverse, mutually beneficial plant species and building healthy soil, we aim to eliminate the need for harmful synthetic chemicals and fertilizers.

How do I get started with a design?

The first step is to schedule a consultation. We will discuss your vision, assess your space, and determine the best approach to creating your custom Food Forest Design Blueprint.

When is the best time to plant a food forest in Minnesota?

In Minnesota, the best time to plant is early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or in the fall before the ground freezes, allowing roots to establish before the heat of summer.

Oxygen and Nutrient-Rich 5 gal Bucket System

6PCS PP 5-Gallon Buckets – Our DWC hydroponic system is equipped with 6 buckets made of high-quality PP material for long-lasting use. The basket can hold up to 5 gallons, large enough to help you grow multiple plants at a time. Accelerated plant growth, buckets fully aerated. Watertight seal, no leaks.

Sufficient Oxygen – The air pump and air stone used for the deep water culture provide plenty of oxygen to each bucket via air hoses, helping to build a healthy root system faster. It does not use natural soil as the substrate and uses nutrient solutions for irrigation after planting.

Growing Environment – It can artificially create a good root environment, avoid the undesirable factors of soil operation, and fully meet the needs of crops for the growth environment such as moisture, nutrition, and minerals.

Wide Application -The basic materials used for cultivation can be recycled. Therefore, soilless cultivation has the advantages of saving water, labor, and high yield, and has been more and more widely used in horticulture and agriculture.

Complete Hydroponic System – Our DWC bucket system is easy to use with complete accessories, including 6 planting buckets, a bucket for water exchange(20L), an adjustable large air volume pump, ceramics 6m trachea, 6 air stones, 6 air stones, 6 one-way valve, visible water level group, 7 valve connections, and 1 instruction manual.

General Hydroponics FloraSeries Hydroponic Nutrient Fertilizer System with FloraMicro, FloraBloom, and FloraGro & pH Control Kit for a Balanced Nutrient Solution

The FloraSeries®, including FloraMicro®, FloraGro®, and FloraBloom®, allows growers to fine-tune their feed system by putting them in charge of when and how much of each nutrient to use in each stage of growth. FloraMicro® is the “building block” of the FloraSeries®. It contains nitrogen, calcium, and chelated micronutrients to help support fast-growing crops during all growth stages. FloraGro® is blended with nitrogen phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium for support of structural and foliar growth, while FloraBloom® is packed with phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and sulfur to help encourage flower and fruit development. You can adjust how much or when to use each nutrient to create your own personal recipe. Always start with a reservoir filled with water, then add the concentrated nutrients one by one. Add FloraMicro® to fresh water first and stir well, then add FloraGro® and/or FloraBloom®. When you use the FloraSeries®, you can grow knowing primary, secondary, and micronutrients are being delivered to your plants to help feed the right nutrients, in the right ratios, to help plants flourish. Good things really do come in threes.

General Hydroponics pH Control Kit for a Balanced Nutrient Solution

General Hydroponics pH Control Kit accurately and efficiently measure the pH levels of your nutrient solutions, grow reservoirs, and the rest of your hydroponic system. pH control is essential for vigorous plant growth. Nutrient solution pH that is too high (basic), or too low (acidic), cannot be properly absorbed by plant roots. Incorrect nutrient solution pH can cause slow growth, sickly plants, and low yields. But the General Hydroponics pH Control Kit is here to help. The kit contains everything you need to test pH levels and make adjustments so you can easily monitor and manage pH levels throughout your hydroponic growth Kit includes 8 oz. pH Up, 8 oz. pH Down, 1 oz. test indicator, a test tube, an eyedropper, and a pH Level Chart. To maximize plant growth, the pH level of your nutrients should be slightly acidic. Experienced growers consider the ideal pH for most crops to fall between 5. 5 and 6. 5
