Planting a Forest in a Day - 300k Subscriber Special

Today we'll be spending a day planting a forest of 300 native trees to bring back some of the wild food sources that would have once grown on this land before it was turned into a grassland. Hopefully overtime as this forest grows, it will support some of the native wildlife that once thrived in this area before it was turned into farmland.
I'll be taking you through the whole process of planting this forest, talking about the trees that I'll be growing, and covering things like succession of forests and how I plan to eventually get rid of the grass underneath and turn it into a more diverse forest overtime.

Each tree represents 1000 of my subscribers, and this New Zealand native forest marks the milestone of this channel reaching 300K subs! Thank you so much for your ongoing support!

Hi, I'm Kalem, and this channel features all sorts of unusual and exotic fruiting plants with tips of how to successfully grow them. I'm interested in all things gardening and love growing my own food and all types of edible plants.
I live on a 2 acre piece of land in New Zealand where we are turning a grass paddock into and abundant, edible paradise and food forest! So come along on this journey with me as I experiment with growing, and try to push the limits of what I can grow. I'll share with you my successes and failures so hopefully you'll learn from them and have a go yourself! Come learn with me and Subscribe to join this awesome community :)
