Hey everyone! I have also recently started reading Takota and Rob's book and am also looking for accountability partner(s?).
Not specifically looking for anyone in a particular area, just looking to share/ask questions and learn from others!
My partner and I brought a 2.5 hectare piece of land in the Alpujarras, Granada (Spain) a few months ago and are wanting to start a regenerative food forest and permaculture farm.
On the side we want to run a b&b/ retreat space, so we're currently in the midst of starting the renovation of the guesthouse, designing a new chicken coup, and planning tree planting for next month.
It's been a pretty dry, hot summer and so haven't been able to do very much in the way of gardening but have got a couple of beds sowed with pumpkins, beans and various brassicas. 800,000 m2 of the land is planted with organic lavender (the previous owners used to have an essential oils business) but they are coming to the end of their life span so we're slowly phasing them out.
Also just finished building first compost loo and are manoeuvring our way around smart / hygienic ways to process this.
Looking forward to hearing about everyone's projects and if you have any tips on poo / urine and/or where to start with designing a food forest please let me know
Very excited about it all but also a little overwhelmed at times!
