Permaculture...picking the lock back to Eden since 1978.
Pics of my Forest Garden
I'm only 60! That's not to old to learn to be a permie, right?

Mike, I'm wondering if you are keeping notes (and maybe ask others to do the same) along with photos. Once you're up and running you'll be able to write a small book about the process you followed so that people everywhere have a starting place for creating a community garden. Then sales of the booklet can help fund your garden's upkeep.
Just a thought!

I didn't get any pictures after we were done since it was getting dark and we needed to get the skid steer back.
Tomorrow we have a small team that's going to start putting up the fence panels. Wait till you see the design we have for that![]()
Keep those donations coming (pretty please)

Thanks! They make the cattle panels amazingly consistent (at least for the two piles of 50 that we bought). If the ends line up, all the other parts line up. So we spent most of our effort getting the joint on each post to match and it worked out from there. Because they're the same length, if the ends line up, they'll sit on each other decently. The curves are just sitting on each other and in a couple spots currently but on Saturday we'll wire them together with some aluminum wire to keep them perfectly aligned from the top to the bottom panel. Then the whole assembly will be even more rigid. More pics soon!
