Hello everyone
I am living on the west coast of the Peloponnese and wish to rid myself of even more bills since moving here two years ago.
I want to create a food forest on the slight slope in the pictures which is west facing. I am unsure of a few things that I am considering doing.
The ground is very wet in the winter months. Should I dig a trench to divert water?
There is a well just above. Should I do a drip network timer or a sprinkler system with a pump to be installed.
The locals tell me the only fruit and nut tees that do well at this height (400 meters) are, apple, pear, apricot, walnut, almond and cherry.
The no dig type of gardening appeals to me very much. Should I just plant straight in and just add compost/mulch?
How important is the placement of the trees to be planted i.e. Above the slope on the east side. Should I just plant them around randomly?
This soil underneath the eucalyptus trees looks good. I was thinking of getting a bulldozer to push the top soil and then add mulch.
Sorry for stupid questions
Thanks in advance for any advice Art
