I am a Permie Wanna Be; to be clear, I don't know much about Permaculture. That said, I would appreciate advice and direction.
Eight years ago, I bought a little 10 acre place in Mariposa, California with the idea that I would someday retire there. Mariposa is next to Yosemite; we have a lot of granite. There is a corner I would like to convert into a garden, but it looks the same today as it did 8 years ago; it's solid granite. It's a triangular shape, roughly 100' x 100' x 100'. I wondered if it would be a good spot to put in a Hugelkultur based garden.
We have been in a drought, so we have plenty of dying of pines and oaks.
I would appreciate thoughts on what might be done on this spot.
Mariposa received ~30 inches of rain this year, so perhaps the drought will be less of an issue going forward.
Thanks.
