If anyone's curious how thing s change and progress during a bunch of weekends and with little to no planning.
What started as making piles of wood. Wound it's way into a regular fence.

Decided to incorporate them into walls instead.

I have these large stumps that have been bulldozed to the outskirts of a clearing.  I'm thinking of mounding brush on them, then horse manure, then a little bit of dirt, then cover cropping them. Then deciding what to do with them later. They'll surrounding what'll eventually be an acre or so of flatland beds.
Anything I'm missing?  This'll be my first attempt a hugel.

Would you be up for doing consultation on purchasing land? I'll be buying some in Maine in the next few months and would like your insight on some properties.

Ive arranged to do something agricultural with 10ish acres in southern maine. Zone 5ish. It slopes to the west with the highest point in the east where those houses are. Its been mowed but otherwise shes to old to work more than a small garden. There are also two small heated greenhouses, a small barn, etc. Shes also into permaculturally stuff.

Anyhow Ive done some hobby stuff with chickens and ducks and a 1000ish sqf of garden and Im a little out of my depth on how to organize this endeavor. I was thinking of raising pasture birds for profit, food for myself, and  forage for overwintering birds. Start planting trees, bushes, more expensive perennials next year if this looks like its going to last.

Broad topic I know but any advice would be nice. Also hello Im mike. Ive been lurking and listening to the podcast for a year or two. Lots of good info here.
