Food Forest - Shade Bed

<div class="ExternalClass8A3151C66F364EF3BF4A022089F8FA2E"><p>Food forests grow edible plants in mixed communities in eight different layers. The result is food garden that requires fewer resources and less maintenance. The mini-food forest plan is suited to part shade. <br></p></div>

<div class="ExternalClassA48324CC215546D28309F92B5C68EDE6"><p>To properly maintain your garden, and for best results:</p><ul><li>Prepare the garden bed with a good quality soil. There should be a minimum soil depths of 30 cm for perennials, 45 cm for shrubs and 60 cm for trees.</li><li>Every spring, apply 5 cm of well-rotted compost or manure annually in the spring (try not to pile it up around woody stems).</li><li>Remove weeds as required, and inspect for pests and disease every week or two in the spring and summer.</li><li>Ensure plants receive a minimum of 5 cm of water weekly during the spring and summer.</li><li>Remove and compost 'spent' blooms and leaves in the fall.</li><li>Prune only to remove misplaced or damaged stems as needed during the summer. The plants suggested here should not require pruning to reduce size.<br></li></ul><br></div>
