Hi there! I am looking to help anyone with a project or their ongoing FOR FREE to help with my portfolio.

I am an aspiring environmental scientist and I love GIS analysis so I would love to work on some projects while I’m working to find another job. May I contribute to your land management goals through my geospatial analysis expertise?

Types of projects i would love to offer:

– Water resource mapping/stormwater runoff (helpful for designing water harvesting systems, or irrigation design)

– soil erosion modeling

– climate data visualization (to inform future crop mapping, wind flow maps to design windbreaks, and shade mapping for designing crop maps, maximizing the yield of your desired crops)

– custom GIS maps and reports for landowners

For additional info, I have experience with geology as I worked as a geologist, and I have a degree in geology and environmental science.

I want to help you live your permaculture dream. If you don’t have a farm yet, I could help design a data-backed, permaculture setup, along with a report supporting of the design decisions, so you can have a physical manifestation of your permaculture plans to look at.

Hi, is it possible to do permaculture with a land without a home?

The land could be small as 0.5 hectare or 2 hectares, I could buy one or another piece of land based on feasability and cost.

The point is every house costs too much, it is just not worth it the expenses for me considering I also have to make it more efficient and to renovate them to make them livable. Unfortunately where I live you can only build a home or heavy renovate something if you are from abroad and got the money, otherwise it’s a bit harder.

Is it possible to have land and maybe chickens if the farm is close? Consider I work remotely so I don’t have commuting from work, and I can dedicate time in the morning, afternoon and weekends.

I got 12 bare root flowering trees (crabapple, redbud, dogwood, hawthorn and crepe Myrtle) from Arborday.org for a $20 donation because I thought they’d be good for my bees without fully thinking it through. I have clay soil that stays waterlogged (6-10 inches below the surface Feb.-May). I’m planning on planting my fruit trees and berry bushes on mounds. Can I plant these trees on mounds too? We have a stand of pine/hickory on the edge of our property that I can get some good topsoil from. What should I mix with it for the mounds? Our property was part an old cattle field we think. We have 4 landed acres with a couple of pine, 2 maple, 8 oak, a sweet gum or 2 and a couple of other trees all mature. Our property backs up to a 3 acre old growth pond so a lot of water drains through our property. We planted a couple of oaks straight into the ground but they ended up dying.

I’m losing the fight against Bermuda grass on my lawn. It’s too much and too well rooted to pull up by myself, so I’ve been trying to plant various native flowers (and aesthetically pleasing, flowering weeds) to try to overtake or shade out the Bermuda grass. However, I haven’t had much luck.

Does anyone have experience chaos gardening in a field of Bermuda grass or another invasive rhizome-spreading grass? What seeds just take anywhere and might have success germinating in a dry field of dense weeds?

*So far, I’ve gotten geraniums, mallows, lantanas, and wood sorrel to live but not spread.
