So here is to the rain!!! Thank you rain for making my plants grow. You came just in time to enable the planting of freshly bought trees. I'll give a more extensive overview of what is being planted, pictures included later on, as all hasn't been finished yet.
But the general outline is that of a food forest, with different gradations in tree size, almost all bearing fruits. Some as a natural pest deterrent, often combined with medicinal properties.
In the shade circles of these trees, smaller plants, herbs, vegetables will be grown.
For this I need to mulch. After being unable to find rice straw and not being too willing to part with more of my money to purchase it the other side of town, I have decided to grow and collect it myself.
Chop and drop they call it in permaculture, basically what is says, grow it, chop it and drop it. This material desintegrates and creates soil.
In one year total duration of working on the garden, it will be something that produces food for my extended family, 6 people. In 3 years, with the trees coming into fruition, it will provide so much we'll have to sell it off or make by products and sell those.
