In our pursuit of discovering forest farmers for the writing of our book
(www.FarmingTheWoods.com), we’ve received a lot of responses from folks
around developing forest gardens. This post describes the difference
between the two practices:
With many agricultural and horticultural practices out in the world,
there are many lines that one can draw in the sand; some useful and some
less so. When writing a book it is useful to contain your content a bit
as you can quickly see the book getting bigger while watering down key
concepts. So, for the sake of discussion and comprehension it is good to
distinguish one thing from another. In practice, especially in
permaculture design, the lines between forest gardening and forest
farming blur together.
