Back to Eden

The Back To Eden gardening method is another amazing way to add fertility to your soil. The basic premise is to dump tons of woodchips on your garden or orchard and let them slowly decay over time.

This creates a fungally dominant soil that is especially good at growing trees, but will also grow garden plants.

Similar to the Ruth Stout method, you need to prepare well in advance. Tree services are willing to drop off tons of free wood chips at your door, (just to get rid of them) for now, but once things start to get tough SHTF wise I doubt they will be available.

At them moment we don't really have the room to accept a truck load of wood chips, but this seems like an ideal method for a bug out location. Dropping off tons of woodchips and letting them sit around and decay for a few years while your food forest grows and becomes more fertile by itself seems like a dream. You could add a couple of saprophytic mushroom spores to speed up the process.
