Hello brother. First next time you will know. First thing on the property you build is a small lake/big pond - big enough for family to swim in one for dry months to get water out of one. Second thing you do is a driveway which always you can squeeze if necessary even on the side of the pond. Third last you build structure/house whatever.

Turn your drive way like I told you already into a big pond and pull asphalt to house on the side of the property. Pond/lake is a sanctuary of human soul. A key to peace, happiness A refuge whenever you need one and it works wherever is that you are located - city or village.

I have used clear plastic, just because a large forestry silvacilture green house remove their covers every spring, it heads to the dump. What I found is I til, cover it as early as possible, it heats, steams, solarizes all at the same time, it takes a couple weeks, depending on our spring. What the clear does is the weed seeds need ultraviolet to germinate, so they get that, get the heat/steam and it kills them, as well I get my soil temps up for a earlier planting. I noticed the silver side was up on your tarp, reflects ( bounces) the heat away.

@PermaculturePA7 жыл бұрын
Hey Reginald, If you're applying wood chips, no need to add ground cover plants, the wood chips are performing that function, and wood chips block weeds better than ground cover plants in my opinion. If it's a food forest area, you would of course want to add you trees, shrubs, herbs etc... If it's an annual garden, you may want to add some perennial herbs for diversity.

Hi, I had a question about the first wetland, whether or not you thought about putting in a grease trap first before having the grey water deposited in this area? Would this not be a plus in helping to purify the water by taking out grease and deposits before it goes into the wetland. Maybe it is just not necessary? Also, in regards to the liner, is sand enough to protect it from being punched through roots from trees around the the pond? We live in the Caribbean and everything grows like crazy here, would hate for all the water to run out due to a punched liner. I am thinking of doing something very similar. Great job on the project and thanks for sharing!
@PermaculturePA8 жыл бұрын
Quirin,I did think about a trap, but I'm not sure if it's needed, so I went without. You could certainly do that, and the water would be cleaner, but you still have to check the trap and dispose of the contents. I didn't want that hassle. If I have clogs, I will have to address it. It hasn't been long enough to know whether or not this will be a problem.You would not want to have large trees too close to the wetland. I have some fruit trees, but they are not that close. I also have some shrubs, but they don't get too big. This would not be as critical if you are clay lining your wetland.Thanks for watching!Phil

can you switch back and forth with perineal garden with annuals mix in living mulch then switch it to 4 or 5 years of deep mulch wood chips/leaf mix. we are in drought almost all the time in cali. it would be great to kind of create a water soak point in layers.

That's a good question. I'm not sure. The original seed was an improved variety, and the current versions have certainly crossed down the genetic line, but they still taste very similar to the originals. Having said that, I've never had a wild parsnip. It might be worth trying the wild stuff in the early spring of 2017.
