Urban Farm DB summary

This Wikipedia article covers Robert Hart (1913-2000), a British horticulturist credited as the pioneer of temperate-climate forest gardening. He converted a 0.12-acre (500 sqm) orchard at his Shropshire home into a model forest garden structured in seven layers (canopy, low-tree, shrub, herbaceous, ground-cover, rhizosphere, and vertical/climber). The article also notes he followed a roughly 90% raw vegan diet, citing the Hippocratic maxim to 'let food be thy medicine.'
