I like what Laura was saying. Wood chips Wood Chips Wood chips. I have very heavy clay, and I've definitely seen huge improvements in 3 years where I laid down wood chips. The fungi will naturally grow in that environment. Radishes, turnips, comfrey, and even high biomass like oats will all help to grow. Comfrey has done so well in our heavy clay, sending tap root deep. Here in Colorado, its hard for it to grow wild, I would have more hesitation in your area.

Coils can work good, copper is expensive, I would move towards 3/4 in black poly piping. Also, its important to have a air blower into the pile if you are not going to be turning it.

I am looking for some of those varieties. It is hard to find. Have you had any success?

Yeah, it is a big slate. Its daunting at times, but I use systematic approach, where water and infrastructure are placed before trees and animals go in.
Thanks for interest, and I can video different aspects if you have topics you want me to focus on. I will start doing weekly updates on the farm, since a lot is going on.

In Durango, CO. We are building a silvopasture based farm scale permaculture farm. Just finished some large earthworks with 7+ acres of ponds.
