Food forest!
I hope to have one someday as well. Perhaps in the next few years.
With all that brush, look into hugelkultur! I'm kinda wishing I had that much right now. I want to make another bed :)

I had no idea there is a name for a raised garden bed like that! Several years ago, we gradually built a long, curved berm from brush and topped it off with a truck load of compost from a local dairy. A pond is tucked into the slope on the north side. Hmm, perhaps I will keep some of the brush for another raised bed instead of mulching all of it.
Sounds like a lot of material for steem posts! ;)
I'd love to read about it and upvote it!
According to @paulwheaton (who has a GIANT hugel that he posts about), he never waters his. The wood holds enough water to supply plants with all they need. It breaks down over time into awesome soil that worms love. I'm excited to watch ours develop.
