    Tout pour commencer son propre jardin forestier
  
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in France on 17 July 2019*

Plein d'information... me sera très utile.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent book! Gives a lot of information
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on 21 July 2014*

Excellent book! Gives a lot of information for planning purposes, including diagrams and things I wouldn't have considered. Goes WAY beyond simply choosing plants that work together to include the uses of walls, manners of pruning (or not pruning) trees, and how a forest garden will morph over time as larger plants mature. As someone fairly new to gardening looking for a more technical book this was perfect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A very concise and informative read, essential for the budding forest gardener
  

*by D***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2015*

This is a fantastic book. Just what I was looking for. Don't be concerned about the black & white photos. Like many colour photos in other books, they are a mere guide. Besides, it's the info you want, and here it's priceless.I have just started to plant up my own forest garden on 2 acres of land, with almost no money left to spare. So the right advice for the best plants (which I grow entirely from seeds, cuttings, or by grafting, or through swapping with friends) is absolutely crucial.I have no room for making any economic mistakes here!Mr Whitefield encourages you to make the most of what nature has to offer in order to create your no-dig or restricted-dig forest garden, approaching the matter of mulches, weeds and pests in a sensible way. (So nice to see a keen gardener who understands that not everyone has access to 'Gardener's World' type TV budgets).There is advice on so many other aspects of 'healthier, greener' methods of growing food and materials (such as for basketry) it is almost impossible to list them all without writing down a good part of the book. There is careful consideration given to how best to plant the forest so that it gains the maximum levels of light for better growth, water usage & collecting, pruning.Even though my own embryonic-forest is only just starting to produce the odd berry and mushroom (and that's despite the fact that it still looks little more than a rather weedy field), through this book I have come to see that there are even more ways of raising foods & materials that will not compromise the balance of nature. Indeed, your mind begins to run riot and you start to see even more ways that the book doesn't include, so it is idea-inspiring too.As I have just started to introduce fungi species, with the intention of growing many more types of edible and symbiotic fungi, I was happy to see a couple of lengthy paragraphs have been included on this newly appreciated yet essential side to successful gardening. However, perhaps, in later editions, there could be a little more emphasis on this subject? Or perhaps another book?You don't need a big garden either. That point comes across very clearly. You can begin to raise your own mini-forest in a very small space indeed, and I'm not just talking about the pocket-handkerchief gardens that are squeezed in behind modern developments. Even a productive container or kitchen windowsill is given mention here. Having lived previously in a place with a 10 x 4 foot deeply-shaded concrete yard, I know it is possible to grow a reasonable amount of food in such places, with the added benefit that you know exactly 'how' that food was grown!
