WHY so many TREE NURSERIES?! | KITCHEN GARDEN MAKEOVER | PERMACULTURE FOOD FOREST & NO DIG GARDENING

In this week's FARMVLOG we go back in time to look at a very neglected area of our pemaculture design - the original kitchen garden - and how we are planning to give the old veggie garden a complete make-over! This was the first home food garden to be established when James moved to the farm in 2012. Being close to the house and in what we class as zone 1 in our permaculture design, this organic veg garden grew veggies until it was superseded by the market garden. Next year we are focussing on producing more food for the home and plan to reinstate the veg garden. It'll be a big job! We'll talk you through our plans.
We also take a look at three 'pop up' tree and herb nurseries that we have established over the years in different areas of the garden - looking at the fruit trees and fruit bushes we have propagated - and why we plan to design and establish a large dedicated tree nursery. This nursery will help us towards our goal of creating a farm designed around the principles of permaculture and agroforestry - a food forest farm.

About Tap o' Noth Farm:
Hi, we're James and Rosa! Welcome to Tap o' Noth Farm, a quarter acre Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) market garden and 8 acre permaculture designed forest garden farm/homestead in Aberdeenshire, NE Scotland. We practice home scale to small farm scale agroforestry and regenerative agriculture methods to produce organic fruit and vegetables, raise dairy goats for all our raw milk needs, Shetland sheep and geese to graze our silvopasture and coppice systems and laying hens, moved around in a Chickshaw, for an abundance of eggs.

If you're looking for even more content from James and Rosa then you can become a patron of Tap Farm. It takes James between 5-10 hrs to edit our vlogs, let alone the time it takes to film and farm at the same time! Your support will aid us greatly in producing our FARMVLOGS, enabling us to take the time needed to craft a beautiful film and to help fund the licences needed for the vlog soundtrack. We will list your name at the end of each vlog episode so everyone knows how brilliant you are! We will also keep you updated on our farm work/life by posting exclusive video content that is not available on YouTube such as FARMVLOG outtakes, behind the scenes footage, hints & tips and more in depth videos discussing the many permaculture systems to be found on the farm PLUS the odd photo from Rosa and James.
