Hi,
We live in central Alabama and have organically gardened for years. Two years ago, two community gardens where started here in Montevallo. We have been deeply involved in the establishment of these gardens. Through study to make the gardens better and through contact with like minded
people, we discovered
permaculture. We are always interested in talking with other permaculturish, hearing about their projects, and learning new things from them.
We are in the process of establishing a hugelcultur along our property line. We plan on planting blackberries and raspberries allong the top and a verity of vegetables (strawberries, kale, chard, lettuce, sorrell, and Arugela ) along the slopes. Also we are planning on planting figs, plums, mulberry, and pears trees. We are studying what herbs to plant in the understory that will contribute to the health and welfare of the trees.
We plan to move to Charleston by Christmas but retain our house as rental property. We are hoping that by establishing a food forest, that our garden can continue in our absence.
Thanks for your reply and we look forward to further post.
Charles
