My first permacuture project!
Hi, I am 14 years old and starting my first permaculture garden next year on a 6800 m² (a bit more than 1½ acres) meadow (just grass). I am looking for some improvement from you. Thanks. When I am a bit older I want to have a sustainable food source, that’s why I am starting with such a young age. In a few years I want to plant on a meadow that’s double the size.
For a bit more insight on my project (the plan is German, but gonna explain):
I plan on planting many old and uncommon varieties. Also I don’t wanna plant too many foreign varieties, instead more cool native varieties. I plan on planting big trees first. Btw the trees on the plan are in real size and have right proportions. I have planned many deadwood piles, sand piles, Kompost piles, stone piles, straw piles, a small pond, two sides of the properties willow fence, bird houses, geese, a flower meadow, a big vegetables garden, many hedges to equalize the loss of diversity due to that I don’t wanna plant the trees close to each other (cause I am poor man), bird trink stations, deadwood hedge, a Berry garden, a tipi, a fire place, a stable and just one big sper through the propertie for the tractor to drive through.
Even tough I planned so many things it still feels like I am missing too much. I think the most important thing is to start, especially planting, since big trees take their time. Next winter I am putting a fence on the right side of the propertie, on the other sides is already a fence. I kinda like having it next to a forest, since it gives a whole other ecosystem for trees who don’t need that much light. I already have many trees and drew a lot of trees. I already gathered many smaller plants for later. I still feel I am not ready, but I kinda know I am. I generally don’t want to rush it. I want to observe, work with the land and be patient. Maybe there is something to add or critic, I would love to read ur comments. Thanks!
