  • Stressed out by trying to fit in “real” permaculture rules? Does following permaculture concepts like zones and herb spirals and swales and guilds cause you anxiety because it's just not working for you? Do you feel pressure to include certain elements or you're not a "real" or "good" permie?
    Learn how I let go of rigid thinking and embraced the fluidity and peace that makes my garden a place that enriches my soul and feeds my body. I'm a permaculturist with over 20 years experience, but I don't let permaculture design rule my garden: I use it as a guiding force to help me - the gardener - connect with my site and the plants and animals therein.

    It's so nice to find someone who has been doing this for so long and has gained so much wisdom. I hope someday to have a veteran voice like yours from the high plains of Colorado. I've been studying and doing permaculture for 7 years but we've just moved onto hopefully our forever home and so I'm dreaming of what I can do here.

    If people are stressing because of the 'rules of permaculture', they don't really know permaculture. Permaculture has no rules, there are only principles. Principles are like 'natural laws', they just happen by themselves ... and if you follow them, it's easier for you (not stressful).

    Trying to figure out swales and berms (gardening on hillsides) stresses me out. I feel like I need to think like an engineer and that is not how my mind works!

      I'm with you. I have a steep hill that I am in the process of pulling/digging ivy and blackberries out of and want to do a food forest with. Trying to figure out terracing, swales, etc. is mind boggling to me.

      Thats the thing about Permaculture, it's a lot of different fields grouped into one. Unfortunately sometimes those fields are one's we're bad at. The thing is though, that isn't your niche, but I bet someone you know/someone you could meet could fill that niche. Just like no plant does it all, no person should either!

    You mentioned getting uneven pollination on your grapes. I bet if you used a leaf blower to force some air back in there you could get better pollination without the need for heavy pruning. Just an idea!

    Have you ever dealt with bindweed? Our last property was consumed by it and I was never able to get control of it.

      Is it really that bad? My garden has some, probably gaining momentum to overtaking it, but it doesn’t seem too horrible, or maybe I have a short memory. Can’t we just live with it?

    • @jcmustian
      @jcmustian 3 года назад +1

      @@paperm2023 at my last property, it was bad. It formed thick mats that covered every inch during the growing season. It killed tree seedlings.

    🥰 love your garden and your approach/thought process towards the “rules.” What is the significance of roses? I love them, just curious if ornamental, bee food or if they do something that helps other surrounding plants

      Hi, I know you asked a long time ago, but I thought I'd answer anyway because I just saw this video for the first time and I was reading the comments. She grows it for the rose hips she said and since she's not in a tropical climate and can't grow oranges or whatever easily, they are a great source of vitamin c. I like rosehip tea a lot and I thought about growing some kind of Rose that's best for having big tasty rose hips but just haven't done it yet. Have a good one!

    I can't believe a free people would subject themselves to a government that requires a permit to grow the food they need to live. Why isn't everybody up in arms fighting this? What do they have to take for people to fight back?

    We're in rural Croatia and we have a fairly big property that has been subject to agriculture for centuries. How would I make a zone 5 here? It would only be nettles and dandelions, I think.

    These videos are excellent! So thorough and detailed. Do you have an aerial view of your yard or map of your layout and did you have a specific site plan when you started or did it organically develop over time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and vast experience with your food forest.

    Do you have any tips on how to get rid of poison ivy?
    My backyard is a wooded area and it’s full of English and poison ivy. We’d like to use the space as a play are for our toddlers. I don’t mind hand pulling the English ivy but I don’t know how to tackle the poison ivy in a natural way. Would cardboard and wood chips smothered it?
    Thanks!

    I was considering growing persimmons because I know people are crazy about it. I know people kept saying if it is something out of the ordinary for fruit to taste it first. I went to go get a navel orange for my yard and I saw them selling the fruit there. You are so right! I think they taste like mango but without that tart or tangy taste that is so versatile. I thought they were too sweet for me.
