Louise Ward, owner and creator of the Edible Forest at the Yarra Valley Estate in Dixons Creek, and Jaimie Sweetman, head gardener, discuss their love of the 8 year old food forest they have nurtured together.

They explain what a food forest is and how it differs from conventional food growing. In the process they cover the topics of healthy soil, hugelkulture, and beneficial insects.
