Planting Wild Garlic

[dannyk64]

Hi,

A friend of mine owns a 26 acre woodland in Nottinghamshire that we visit maybe 1-3 times in a month. The woodland does produce some berries and has fungi growing but I was wondering what other 'wild foods' we could get growing if we planted it. I think wild garlic due would do well near a small pond in the woodland and was thinking are there any carbohydrates/root vegetables that would be able to grow with out much care in the woods?

Any recommendations/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Danny

Surely if you plant 'wild' Garlic.........it then becomes 'cultivated' Garlic?

Easy enough to grow wild onion, wild parsnip, wild carrot, wood sorrel, pignut, burdock, silverweed etc. Or are you talking forest garden cultivation of normally domestic crops?
