This 7 year old permaculture food forest will blow you away!
It's been 7 years this month on my property, although to be honest the first two years were fairly slow... only 4 trees. I had an explosion of effort in the next 4 years, and have expanded the food forest in ways that have changed my life in profound ways.
Now is the time to work on your self sufficiency and build something like this, even if just small pieces of it, somewhere on your land. This is life changing, and I hope many other people start their permaculture journeys in these crucial years we find ourselves in.
Today's video walks around the property, discussing some ways we grow with nature in mind, how we share our bounty with wild animals, how we focus our efforts on growing the insect biome, and how fertility follows when we follow these principles. I hope you enjoy, and consider supporting us as below:

    this is the problem with dogmatic systems that resemble cults/religions, and all those are political fiction/lies. rules we make up are applicable only in the right contexts; else they can be counterproductive. when you're growing a full patch of veggies, in early spring you dont want any soil covering that will prolong cool/wet soil. when the patch is in full swing, there's plenty growing and no need to dogmatically waste money and time on covering every square of soil. mulches can be expensive and a pain with weeding/pests. permaculture pretends to solve every problem but in reality doesnt, it's just like a religion, dogma over substance.

What is your experience with growing mint in your guilds?

    • @CanadianPermacultureLegacy
      @CanadianPermacultureLegacy Před 2 dny

      Yes, it spreads absolutely. Whether it takes over an area depends on what is competing with it. In annual beds it can dominate an area, as many perennials will be able to do. However, against bushes, or even taller herbaceous plants, it will not be able to outcompete them, and it will only occupy the groundcover.
