After taking Geoff Lawton's Online Permaculture Design Course, I'm trying to adopt as much of my design exercise as possible.

We are starting to get a bunch of ripening blueberries. There are still a bunch that aren't ready yet. Because we planted early, mid, and late season varieties we should have a pretty lengthy season. I plan to take cuttings from my existing plants once all the fruit has been picked. When we w...

Olives harvesting experience and joy…2014

Fruit began to ripen and also vegetables are ready for picking.

We used annual cover crops as Phaseolus vulgaris for soil building and alfalfa as perennial green manure to improve soil fertility and structure, to fixes nitrogen in the soil captured from the atmosphere, and provides organic matter used as mulch when it is mowed .
