Mein „Waldgarten“

https://bunte-kuechenabenteuer.de/mein-waldgarten/

Ja, es gab einen Plan, als ich angefangen habe den neu angelegten Garten zu bepflanzen. Das heißt ich habe verschieden große Kringel mit Zahlen drin auf die Skizze des Gartens gezeichnet um wenigstens so halb abschätzen zu können wie viele Pflanzen ich denn brauche.Ich muss wohl nicht dazu schreiben, dass ich mich teilweise ordentlich verschätzt hatte.

Wie man die Struktur dann nennt, […]

Oh no! Meine Birnen fangen an zu blühen, aber es soll in den nächsten Nächten noch mal frosten.
Ganz ab von den Pfirsichen, Nektarinen, Aprikosen und Pflaumen, die schon seit Tagen alles geben. Und die Süßkirschen sind kurz davor.

I recently attended a workshop by Permaculture Institute of North America about starting nurseries. Among all the facilitators, these books were most recommended. A bit hard to find used though. I guess people keep them.

Happy to see moles appear in our food forest!

Save the #DartingtonForestGarden

This page is dedicated to our fight against our landlord’s (#DartingtonHallTrust) decision to evict us from our 31-year-old #ForestGarden in #Dartington, #DevonUK. Here you’ll find latest updates and press releases, and also your tributes to the forest garden and what it means to you, and why it should be preserved.

Update Sun 16 March 2025

"Morning to all our wonderful supporters!

"The petition to save our forest garden has gathered over 7,500 signatures in two days which is AMAZING.

"I think our landlords DHT may have been surprised and shocked both by the level of support and by the passion shown, so thank you all again.

"Before we went public, we did in fact write to CEO Robert Fedder at DHT a week ago, explaining why the forest garden was such an important resource, and asking them to retract their notice to quit. We also told him that there would be considerable public support and inevitable bad PR for them. Clearly DHT didn’t want a sensible dialogue at that time ….

"Our focus now is persuading DHT to sell the forest garden site to us. We know there are supporters out there itching to get crowdfunding so anyone with good experience of this please get in touch – we may need you!

"We heard a report that someone shouted abuse at Dartington staff yesterday. Please don’t. DHT front line staff are not responsible for DHT decisions.

"We are so touched by all the messages of support, this really means a lot so thanks again everyone."

The #FoodForest - Australia

Short description of your place and practices:

"The Food Forest is a 15 hectare property in #Gawler where we grow over 160 varieties of fruit, nuts, grains, vegetables and timber. If you haven't already tasted any of our goodies, come along and see us every second week at the #Adelaide Showground Farmers Market.

"We offer a consultancy service, run courses on permaculture, building with #strawbales, fruit & nut production, #sustainable house design and more. Coming along for a tour or one of our twice-yearly open days is a great way to get a taste of what we're all about."

I needed to take a break from the doom and gloom, so I eyed spots in the yard for more wildflowers, a mini food forest, and a spot for three sisters (and sunflowers). I had good luck growing some beans in hanging planters (where the vines can climb), so I'll be doing that again, as well as growing greens, onions, sun gold tomatoes and red potatoes in containers. Attempting beets again, but the local critters like them a little too much.

Please sign this petition to Dartington Hall Trust to ensure their counterproductive and frankly insane decision to end Martin Crawford's lease on the best example of a #Permaculture #Agroforestry #FoodForest #ForestGarden in the temperate world!

Martin Crawford's work is so pioneering and important and MUST be allowed to continue. https://chng.it/cn2cCGFhbs

You don't have to deer fence your entire property or orchard to grow fruit and nut trees.

After tempting the deer to eat leaves from hundreds of trees, from dozens of species, I learned so much about what I can get away with and what I can't.

I am always impressed with the ability of the #fedi to provide answers. So here goes…

I need a bunch of grow tubes. But holy smokes, they are expensive unless you place an insanely large order.

Anyone know of a buyer’s union, or co-op situation? Here’s an example of pricing disparities . Prices are per 10-pack.

#Philippines #AgroEcology highlight from @AgroecologyMap

"Kuatro Marias' Agroecology Farm, located in San Narciso, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro, is a pioneering model of sustainable agriculture in the Philippines. Established in 1998, the farm operates on the principles of agroecology, focusing on harmonizing agricultural productivity with #environmental #stewardship. With a mission rooted in #biodiversity protection and #sustainable resource use, the farm avoids synthetic chemicals, instead leveraging natural cycles to nurture its crops, livestock, and aquaculture systems. Its name symbolizes balance and sustainability, honoring the four elements and the proprietor’s four daughters.

"The farm showcases an Integrated Diversified Organic Farming System (#IDOFS), where crops, livestock, and aquaculture coexist in a symbiotic relationship. This includes a #FoodForest with diverse trees like #ube and #cinnamon, a pond supporting #tilapia and other fish, and naturally fed chickens and hogs. A unique #SeedBank ensures the preservation of genetic diversity while minimizing waste. These practices not only enhance productivity but also build resilience against climate change and natural disasters, embodying agroecological principles that prioritize soil health, ecological balance, and community well-being."
