Our growing wish list of items for our food forest
Bags of compost (purchased to avoid snake worms) - maybe a large quantity from Vermont Compost?
Money for trees and plants from a local (as possible) nursery (some specific improved varieties, as Jesse recommends)
improved chestnut trees (Mossbarger - coldest Chinese Type, Jenny, Kintzel)
blueberry bushes
currant bushes
hazelbert shrubs (layered clones from good/improved parents, not random seedlings)
mulberries
Specific perennials (bare rooted to avoid snake worms):
lupine, columbine, yarrow, any herbs, everbearing strawberries, asters, rudbeckia, sorrel, perennial cabbage or spinach, sea kale, hardy geraniums(cranesbill), evening primrose, feverfew, Saint John's Wort, echinacea, cutleaf toothwort...
Maybe have some spots on the edges for some perennials that like to take over but are good to have around, like sunchokes, stinging nettles, mints, Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium)...
Seed: white clover, red clover, arugula, nasturtium, vetch, calendula, chamomile...
Fencing - in good shape (3 - 4 foot height minimum)
Tree collars
