This is my dream: To live as my forefathers once did - in harmony with the land that sustains us. A project to investigate and innovate the creation of a low impact home with methods of living in a form of permaculture designed to sustain my family and improve biodiversity. To leave the land richer than before and in doing so enable others to do so.
Eat the tree

Part of my personal quest has always been to be self sufficient, earth right, ecologically friendly, hi technology and happy. I still think this can be combined into a happy synergy of lifestyle and technology.A step towards that is the growing of foods in a sustainable way. Such a way might be to plat permanent crops - that is plants that don't need to be replanted every year. This is exactly what one group are doing according to treehugger.com
The reason that the group is concentrating on nut trees is their potential to outgrow cereal crops in terms of carbohydrates, and to utilise poorer soils with fewer inputs.
This year I will attempt the impossible - subscribe so that you do not miss it.

Can such tree's be grown on allotments and how long do they take to mature?
