Sorry I'm a neo Luddite. Not sure if I'm doing this right but I need help. Trying to design a 10 acre system for my friend and I could absolutely use some suggestions/advice/ideas/design tips or whatever. So I'll give as much specs as I can think relevant right now but ask away 👍☺️
Rainfall is about 430mm a year
House is basically in the middle, on the high ground.
The topography is VERY steep front to back.
He currently has some sheep in back paddock
Previously has had chickens so some existing infrastructure for getting chooks again.
Hads BIG water tank on property, fed from bore that feeds multiple other properties. Water isn't an issue ☺️
Has a crappy old tractor that is highly functional.
He has 4 sons, so there's potential labour there.
I've done a PDC, with Mr Holmgren. I've read the books, I know how to garden, I have a decent idea what I'm doing, I'm not looking for a permaculture 101 answer, I'm looking for some advice from any wizards/Jedi/gurus et cetera.
Warmest bloody regards, rorskin.
