A few months back we had a post on the future of farming, where the idea of forest gardens was talked about and in the comments we talked some too. The basic idea is you take a piece of land that is just a field and you design it to grow into a forest where each plant has a purpose. The rub is you can harvest year round for about 5 days of maintenance a year!
Here is a video of a 300 year old Forest Garden, spanning back 28 generations!
