Hey!
I'm kinda new to
permaculture. Just started reading about it 4 years ago, after searching for solutions to some garden troubles.
Now I am in the process of starting a food forest in my garden (I have around 2000 m2 of garden areal to play with). I live in Norway, which means frozen ground in the winter, and light all day and night during summer.
The food forest is currently very young, most of the
trees have been planted the last two years. The guilds under the trees are small yet, but I have a lot of ideas I want to add this spring
The trees residing in the area pictured are:
glass apples (easily bruised yellowish apples), plum "opal", pear "Ingeborg" and "herrepære", sweet cherries "Stella", and a red hazelnut-tree.
Underneath them are a mix of herbs and
medicinal plants, many which are pollinator-magnets
I've also made an small herb spiral, and had my husband dig some small swales for me while we had a excavator here a while ago. I am trying to turn them into
hugel swales.
Being only one person (husband not interested), and with a two year old in tow, things move more slowly than I would like. But they do move forward!
I also keeps
chickens, and I am getting started with ducks this spring. The
fence in front and to the right for the big red
workshop is around a
pond, where the ducks will live.
I'll probably be a bit slow in responding and postingnew stuff, but it will be done once in a while
