Turning $100 into a Backyard Food System

Most people think you need thousands of dollars to start a food forest. In this video, I go to our Tampa nursery and build a complete backyard food system from scratch using only $100 in plants. These aren’t ornamental plants — they are functional species chosen for food production, medicine, soil building, and long-term resilience in a Florida climate. We break it down into a simple system: greens, herbs, calorie crops, fruit trees, and support species that actually build the foundation of a productive landscape. Then we take those same plants and show what they become once established in the food forest. 🌿 What $100 actually gets you: • perennial edible greens • medicinal herbs • fast calorie crops • long-term fruit production • soil-building support species This is not a shopping haul — it’s a blueprint for building real food systems in the backyard. If you’re interested in food forests, tropical plants, or turning small spaces into productive ecosystems, there’s a lot more coming. In Tampa Bay and want to visit?
