There is an active permaculture group in Las Vegas. They are largely doing urban gardening with permaculture principles.
I am more interested in learning efficiencies that others have learned by experience.
Of course there are the usual resources and lots of gardeners in Las Vegas (Nevada btw) but if anyone has tried to turn an acre of the Mojave into a permaculture landscape I'd love to hear your story and how you did it.
I have a little less than an acre and a well. I'd like to come out of this experience and be able to say: 'you can grow food here at 2600 feet with 4 inches of rainfall if you do this...."
In addition to the plants and trees I'd like to know what the quickest way to do things is with maximum production.
I'm definitely a bit of a doomer and if there are disruptions in the food supply we will want to know this stuff yesterday and wish we had started last year.
I know we are not likely to compete with ....well anywhere....but I'm sure if we have a little water and a good plan we could survive.
I want to make that plan.
thanks
