Akira Miyawaki and Instant Old Growth Pocket Forests
In this episode, we're diving into the history of Tiny Forests and the man behind them, Akira Miyawaki. There's a complex framework to this seemingly simple process of super-dense forests, and we discuss how it's been appropriated without context in permaculture, and what tree clusters should look like and the science behind it.
