Anyone know of any permies in the Taos area?  I just recently built a small casita on the Taos plateau and would like to connect with folks who have had some experience with developing a permaculture site.

Yes it’s been good, although currently mud season so a bit difficult to do anything.

i had to start using a self wicking system for alot of my garden plants and its works very well, especially if you dont have a steady water supply and water conservation is important for your property

What sort of wicking system are you using? I plan on experimenting with the buried terracotta "vase" idea for some of our bushes, we planted sea buckthorn and goji berries as well as some other bushes that that would probably work good with.
 
The fastest and most reliable components of any system are those that are not there. Tiny ad:
