Personally I find these both awesome ideas but I wonder about their scalability for larger communities. Does anyone have experience with them?

    I purchased and studied this two volume set because it is what was recommended by a local university.

    That was a little over ten years ago when my family first moved to Maine. We have a five acre property that we wanted to turn into a food forest. The first plantings we made were trees. Namely, black walnut, several species of apple, weeping willow, pear, etc.

    Once these reach a little more maturity, I’ll plant the understory. Things grow slowly here in Maine, but we will eventually have a huge food forest.
