As part of a permaculture design we are creating for Center for Sustainable Community (CSC – our local non-profit) we developed a few educational tools to help us explain several concepts we wished to convey to them. One of these is the idea of planting in linear-food forests all along the downhill side of several hugelkultured swales. We thought you might like to see these explanations as well.
While the tress and shrubs are in the early stages of growing (small) we will use the open space to grow some of our annual vegetables. We will also plant some nitrogen fixing ground covers and dynamic accumulators to help build the soil.
I love permaculture! To help others learn a bit more about permaculture, I have built a blog to support other peoples efforts and provide links to useful resources that are online.
I always link my posts [at the bottom of each post] to the content's source as I do not write the material provided. I just gather useful permaculture content for others to use in their own research.
I only ask that you please respect the source/owner of the original work where possible.
I hope it can help you in your permaculture quest!
This was a great informational post for me! Thanks so much.
