hi,
I have a land in my home town in Turkey and planning to turn it into a Permaculture food forest. Land is 1.1 acre, 2400-3000 h sunlight per year it has 7-13% slope, facing North , yearly average rainfall is 795mm (31inches), winter temp 5-10 C, spring temp 10-20c, summer 20-23c and autumn 10-20c seems like perfect Mediterranean USDA zone 7-8. There is some forestation around the land and there have been sheep naturally grazing over it for years. My plan to begin food forest is Contour swales covered with straw with hagelkultur edges before winter and, plant Comfrey, dandelion, Daikon Radish, clover, beneficial flowers and perennials towards the spring.
I Havent got the soil tested yet.
I am not sure when to add Fruit trees should it be in the first year with other plants or wait for next year to plant them?
Wondering if i need a well for watering?
Is there any other plans that helps with mulching or soil quality?
Any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated
Thank you
