Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I’d like to ask you about the placement of things in this project.
- It is a 2,000m2 lot (43x45m approx)
- The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The house is oriented to north to have better sunlight
The idea is to make a small house and make a food forest. While I want to make a food forest I also want it to be a nice place to spend time with friends and enjoy the garden. And the possibility of using fruit trees near to the house for e.g as ornamental plants
My fear is the shadow that certain trees can create when they grow and I wouldn’t want to deprive some fruit trees or a vegetable garden of too much light. Where do you recommend planting non-fruit trees?
For now I made this design with the things I have to plant (image below).
- Fruit trees: apple, orange, fig, lemon, peach, plum. And an olive tree, which I don’t know where to locate as an ornamental.
- Ginko biloba tree
- I have a Jacaranda that is a beautiful tree but I don’t think it would work very well for this project since is a big tree like ginko biloba and I wouldn’t know where to put it.
What do you think ?
- Would you locate the house somewhere else?
- Since I think the space behind the house would be shaded all day, I thought I’d use it as a place to relax with bambu plants or make a small storage space.
- I’d like to make a small pond, but I don’t know where to put it. It’s probably somewhere I can enjoy it most of the day, maybe near the vegetable garden ?
