I believe in hand drawing and scaled plans. You need QGis for this. You can print out a scaled plan and go from there.

I am in a warmer climate and they are all perennial albeit short-lived.

concrete does not withstand heat.

Tom, we have super heavy nutrient poor clay soil mixed with sand and a non-existent drainage together with a generally high water table. What I found is that the wood which is buried (I did huegel swale which was a very bad idea) did not rot.If it would create a sponge that would be great. We do charcoal also and I believe that helps.

Goetsch has these extreme management methods: he's around 80 and still on some sort of a tower, mounted on a tractor with a chainsaw!!!
This is insane!
I really like his approach, but I don't like working with a chainsaw and my husband is over 60 too. Working on a ladder with a chainsaw is dangerous and a pain.
What is your approach for managing the emergent layer? Maybe leaving it out altogether?

I really wonder why so many people do huegelculture. I really think that Sepp Holzer has a lot to offer, just Huegelculture is not that great.
A friend asks me why I don't throw old wood in the beds.
OK that's my question: are there any side-by-side comparisons huegelculture / "normal" regarding the plant health and most importantly the yields?

I do grow azolla,in zone 10. It grows very fast at least in summer, but in winter you need less nitrogen anyway: food forest plants it is also great for animals and apparently, they try it for humans (not me for certain!)

I actually found a pretty good resource, however it is a podcast only so no pictures! flower farm The reason for wanting a bit of a bigger scale is that we don't produce much food waste at all, when we are on the property we cook outside and everything just drops on the ground. But I probably could get restaurant scraps and then the whole operation would be worth the while.
Our soil hasn't got a hardpan it is simply that clay and it ends at the bedrock which is sandstone (my husband tried to dig a well) it is simply one big layer!
That podcast is really interesting!

First you need the right thicker buttonhole thread. Second you need to stitch very narrowly. Third some people stitch a thick thread in to give it a bit of fullness. There is a hand sewing group on FB.

We have a piece of land which is heavy, poor, no drainage clay soil with some sand. We are weighing various plans to improve the soil. We already do plant nurse trees, mulch and the usual things.
How about a bigger bokashi? I watched some videos were people do bokashi in silage plastic.
We could pick up restaurant waste to feed it.
Does anyone have experience in what's happening if bokashi is dug into clay soil?
Some people say it's good in a worm farm others say it isn't.
I understand that bokashi is not compost and not a finished product.
Any input?
