10 year old food forest - Feral, Dense and Productive

http://www.edibleacres.org
I share a brief walking tour of the first main garden installed at the larger 6 acre Edible Acres site beginning in 2009. This is where the project began, and now 10 years later it is a riot of complex garden beds, filled to overflowing with hardy, valuable perennial plants.
The space has gotten away from me a bit as far as how detailed I'd like to manage it. The reality is that for the last 6 years I haven't lived at this site, so this garden is one of 20+ gardens now that in total only get at most 2 days a week of my focus.
This garden may get a total of 10-20 hours of work focused on it per year at this point, so having clean and easy access and weed free beds is difficult, but incredibly the plants at this density take care of themselves in beautiful ways and I'm able to dig hundreds of high value plants from the space every single season!
