Many thanks Jake - love the way you've brought it down to essentials. Coming to the principles was quite a long but I very much hope helpful process. For all levels of forest garden knowledge.

I would imagine it's a lot of work arriving at a common set of principles from a diverse range of people! Do feel free to use any material from my website, it'sunder a Creative Commons license "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International"
