In the eastern hills of Oakland, Common Vision joined forces with three classes at Merritt to transform a steep hillside into a permaculture food forest with 108 fruit trees! Before trees were planted a team of pickaxers and shovelers built swales, long on-contour ditches, designed to harvest 1000's of gallons of rainwater and store it deep in the hillside. Over 75 Common Vision crew and Merritt College students worked all day, accompanied by the drums, to plant the widest spread of tree varieties in Fruit Tree Tour history. Jujubes, almonds, chestnuts, pluots, figs, apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, nectarines, and persimmons will soon watch the sunset over Oakland.

I'M English and am not too sure what a gopher is , but what stops it eating the roots when they have grown thro the "basket"? Have to say if it was me doing the digging I would want those idiot drummers to grab a pick and make themselves useful

What do you mean "expensive as hell"? This doesn't appear to be a commercial venture, just a demonstration site. What matters is whether it works, how much fruit is produced for the area of land and the inputs used. I hope there'll be a follow-up vid in a year or so.

because it's gonna be expensive as hell and there won't be enough to go arround.
