Hello Permies,
This would be an ideal stepping stone for someone for a year or a few while plotting their escape from the
City.
Mature peartree,
raised bed sunchokes in purchased (lead-free) soil, one year of soil-building, large quantity of biomass gathered, rain catchment and some systems worked out for a semi-urban situation. Also a lot of soil amendment on hand from fowl. Looking for people who understand permacutlure/whole systems and want to sustain this
project from year 2. It takes about 8 years to reach critical mass with these systems, so year 1 is an invaluable resource and stewardship is priceless.
We live in Belmont, but the Watertown-y part of Belmont, and it's literally Cambridge across the street from us.
If I get a massive response I'll set up a group videoconference tour at a set time. Send me a purple mooseage with a description of your
permaculture experience and vision.
Thanks so much for considering it and for thinking of future generations.
In community,
Joshua

Bottom line, if you just don't cut down the two walnuts you've made an adequate contribution to a serious supply of
local protein and fats for 100-350 years.
About 50x50, full sun, plus a few other microclimates.
We live in Belmont near Cambridge. 71 and 73 bus are right there, which are quiet and run extremely frequently to Harvard Square (ten minutes if it's not rush hour).
