Anyone have even a small piece of land in Colorado not in use?

Anyone have even a small piece of land in Colorado not in use?

Hello! I study permaculture and love taking care of plants but I have no land currently. I’ve been keeping plants in pots, but I wanted to work with the three sisters. I do a no till method, with homemade soil that uses no animal parts etc. I use to be a landscaper and know how to keep that stuff looking nice. I know this is a stretch but I was wondering if anyone had any abandoned land or anything for me to plant a few corn plants? I would keep it neat and leave no trace the next year. Just let me know, thank you!

Sustainable drainage

Sustainable drainage

Hello everyone

I’m looking for ideas to solve some drainage issues.

The super easy solution is some French drains with plastic and fabric. I am doing my best to avoid using plastic and fabric, but I also recognize it’s a necessary evil sometimes.

I’ve tried doing some googling and can’t seem to find much for “plastic free French drains” or anything suitable for what I’m dealing with. I could create some temporary drainage ditches with drain rock but I know the dirt would wash into it and clog things up pretty quick.

These are not good spots for swales as I need the ground to be flush/level.

What kind of solutions have you found?

Thanks!!

Recommended Costa Rican permaculture farms to stay at during the summer?

Recommended Costa Rican permaculture farms to stay at during the summer?

I am looking for permaculture farms in Costa Rica to stay at for the summer. Specifically, I am looking for those that are at higher elevations to be a bit cooler in temperature and hopefully be shielded by some rain. Do you know any like these that you can recommend? I would love to help out and learn while I am there. Muchos gracias

Starting to plan?

Starting to plan?

Hello! I’m planning to turn this patch of land – approx 1000 sq feet on 6 acres – into something like a food forest. I’m struggling with mapping out where to start planting perennials – any tips on making those decisions, especially for larger immovable things like fruit trees? Obviously light and space considerations, but would love to hear thought processes on placing things.

For reference, this photo is facing south. The trees in this photo are mostly black walnut bordering a dirt road. To the west are some old apple trees – kind of a wild variety, not exactly crab apples but not particularly edible and there will eventually be a driveway. To the east, the border of the land. Just north of this spot is a fenced in small scale flower farm with both annuals and perennials.

My goals are to increase wildlife diversity and have food to eat fresh and store.
