River Moreland

Hi, i was wondering if anyone knows of any salt tolerant plants, or salt absorbing plants? I am currently replacing a grove of tamerask trees, also know as salt ceder, and am looking for some plants to prepare the soil before i replace the trees. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
River

as to the question of whether i would like to see an village or a commune, i am not quite sure yet. i would like to be in a position to help people who need it, and trade people work for a place to stay in the winter, since there is much less to do in the winter. as to the actual name of such a place, i think the people who would live here should decide it., when it gets to that point

A few questions, a few answers. As for the form of my inquire, i am looking to introduce a food forest to the exiting woodlands/ lowlands this i know will require a lot of labor. As an answer to the property's geography it is 11 acres of "arable land" and 11 acres of so called lowlands, consisting of large and small tress, numerous bushes and other flora. all of the water rights/ features are directly on the property, and the surrounding area has numerous watersheds.elevation IS around 5000ft.

Hi everyone, i am very excited to be joining the discussion and i hope to learn a great deal about new and more importantly old ways of living.

with that being said i am interested in staring a ecovillage / commune. i have 22 acres of rural farmland on the western slope of the rocky mountains, nestled next to the Grand Mesa.
The area is situated on the foothills of the mountains, and adjacent to a semi arid region comprised of mancos shale or adobe.

i am looking for any help in getting started.

a few notes:

*i have funding so this is fortunately not an issue
the land is payed for already
*the area i live in has no building codes

*the area has irrigation water, springs, a spring fed pond, water rights and borders a creek supplied by the neighboring mesa

so ideas? where should i go with this? legal concerns?

thanks, River
