Wind and edible shelter belts

[ChristineNewby]

Hi there, I am new to the forum. I seem to be living in similar climate as yours – hill, mad windy place and cold. We have just moved to the new home and planning to put in an orchard and veg. I am interested to find out what ‘edible shelter belts’ you mentioned? I need to do the same on at least two sides as we live at the brow of the hill. Many thanks.
