Spring 2020 Florida Food Forest Tour - Part 1

Описание: Spring 2020 is here - here's what's growing in my 2 year old florida food forest. In part 1 we explore the front half of the property and the chicken / duck coop. In total there's around 130 fruit trees and numerous perrenial herbs and vegetables growing throughout the property. I've put text identification for a lot of the plants in case it is hard to hear the name in the video, let me know if this is nice to have or annoying.

These little bits add up and help me to buy more garden items to make more videos!

You can use my general amazon link (https://amzn.to/3qjBw6K) or check out one of the tools below. These are tools I use every day in my garden and highly recommend.

Tree saw - this Silky Professional F180 has a comfortable grip and cuts through branches with ease. I use this for things too large for the pruners. To date there is no rust on it, I put a loop of paracord through the hole in tha handle to make it easier to hang. Link: https://amzn.to/35Mb77Z

Pruners - The Felco F-2 Pruners are the choice of gardening experts everywhere. They seem to last forever, if you are a real heavy user you can buy replacement blades and make them like new again. Link: https://amzn.to/3qjzgMO

Snippers - For more precise work such as cutting delicate leaves off of new starts, these Corona stainless steel snippers work great. They have a long narrow blade to get into the tight spots on your seedlings or to prune smaller plants. Link: https://amzn.to/2TZmk2B

Trowel - Now this isn't really classified as a trowel but the Corona Scopp is my everyday all prupose tool that I probably use more than anything else (besides the pruners). This is not the best for digging in the soil but I don't really do much of that in my food forest. This is an excellent tool for potting, which I do a lot of. It holds a lot more than a traditional trowel and is a very well built tool. I've left it out in the rain many times and no rust. Link: https://amzn.to/3zRa5We

Knife - This Morakniv knife has held up well, it stays sharp and while the blade has lost its bright color it has not rusted. I use this for opening bags of soil and cutting ropes and twine. This knife is fairly inexpensive and includes a belt holster if you prefer to carry it that way. Link: https://amzn.to/3d9IPbD
