Welcome to Paradise!
We are excited to be starting our family paradise using permaculture principles, helping to heal the air, soil, and water in our small way, and we hope to share what we've learned with those who are interested as well as to learn from those with more experience.
Nature shows us how to have healthy soil and a sustainable way to feed the planet without chemicals and backbreaking work, even where water is less available. Compare the vital soil in an untouched forest to the dry, dead soil alongside the curbs in a busy city or even a backyard garden which must be fertized regularly, weeded often, perhaps sprayed, and watered almost daily.
Permaculture gardening is much, much easier than a typical vegetable garden. No rototilling is needed, no use of fertilizers or sprays, and there is very little weeding. Even watering is relatively infrequent! In just a few years, a natural environmental balance will develop. This means you can plant more food, enough to share with other people and what you once thought to be pesty insects, birds, and critters.
For now, I invite you to subscribe to and watch Canadian Permaculture Legacy on YouTube, starting with his earliest videos, and please share your thoughts below. We are just getting started on our new property, and eventually we will be selling interesting organic plants which thrive in our Oregon coastal area as well as houseplants. Watch for discussion blog posts here.
A later addition: My first food forest baby:
