This document discusses edible landscaping through perennial and annual plants, herbs, trees, and berries that provide food and nutritional benefits. It also covers creating sustainable soil through composting, cover cropping, and nitrogen-fixing plants. The document promotes using biological resources like chickens, and infrastructure like trellises to enhance yields while reflecting natural patterns.
