Self sufficient living in Canada utilizing natural resources to grow fruit and vegetables in a dense forest.
This week, I use fish remains as fertilizer to grow tomatoes and peppers and I bring in bales of hay and leaves from the forest to mulch my vegetable and fruit garden to preserve the rainwater that falls on the garden. Without mulch and organic material added to the garden beds, the water typically evaporates and drains through my sandy soil during our hot, humid summers.
Because of the global pandemic and shutdown of the schools and the economy, I have changed my priorities to provide shelter and food to my wife and daughters until things return to normal. In addition to the food forest that I'm developing from previously raw and relatively unproductive forest, I am preparing my cabin for additional food production and food storage while building my firewood supply for the coming winters.
