Hi All,
I just started gardening for 6 months. got 3 vegetable beds and 4 tomatoes plant so far.
I'm living on a 1000m2 land of grass, gently sloped down South East.
I really like permaculture philosophy and on my way to convert this lawn to a food forest for myself and hopefully, the locals.
I read few books, watch few videos about where to start and it does vary from person to person.
But I want to know more so would really appreciate if anyone here has been through the same scenario like me and can share with me what are the essential steps?
In particular where you got a big lawn.
So far I think would be:
- get chicken first so they work the lawn for me, then cover with wood chips thickly then plant trees
- or do no dig beds with newspaper, then compost etc. and sow green manure to break up and build the soil
- or do swale drains then mound on side with similar method to 2nd item above
Thank you for your time & look forward to hearing from you
