3-Day Tropical Food Forest Makeover | Pruning, Planting & Surprising Finds!

Hello world! It’s time to dig in and give our 5-year-old tropical food forest a much-needed makeover! Over three action-packed days, we’re tackling overgrown plants, pruning fruit trees, and refreshing key areas of the garden.

In this video, you’ll see:
✅ Passionfruit vine cleanup and taming invasive plants
✅ Pruning & maintaining fruit trees (like our guava, acerola, and Thai dwarf mulberry)
✅ Chop-and-drop gardening to naturally feed the soil
✅ Propagating lemongrass and refreshing our pineapple patch
✅ Sprinkler repairs & garden edging fixes—keeping things in mint condition!

Along the way, we’ll share practical garden maintenance tips, some fun family moments (our little farmer is back on his tractor!), and a handy weeding tool that makes tackling tough nutsedge a breeze.

If you’re passionate about food forests, tropical gardening, or just love seeing a backyard transformation, this video will grow on you!
