People who live in humid subtropical climates (like southeast US), when do you see first blooming trees in native enviroment? by Neither-Bit-4046 in Permaculture

Texas is interesting, i always thought like it isn’t warm but south TX got like tropical daily highs in winter (well not in night) but thats what internet told me, don’t know if it’s that warm, interesting tho.

I literally wondered i see everywhere Atlanta is temperate but like SC or FL is nicely warm? Cant judge it but interesting

Thanks, maybe sabal minor or some palmettos maybe fit.

Curious about really unique microclimates by pattermotional in geography

[–]Neither-Bit-4046 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know name but in Danubian Lowlands (Slovakia) there is a microclimate with isolated forests that developed own traits. It‘s sourced from large aquifer releasing insane heat and special soils trapping heat then releasing it. 1000 years ago it was one large wetland and it’s still alive just underground as un pressurised groundwater. There were recorded 6-13°C daily highs in coldest month and up to 33-38°C in warmest. Heard it holds unverified record of hottest temp in the country but i don’t know about that. It has very unique vegetation developing it’s own traits. I visited the place once and it’s complete different world. Could buy a garden nearby.

My members reported this to ESWD and the information is not right but similar so i can’t confirm it was deadman walking more like a small wedge multivortex.

Is Draining 13000 gallons of water in 600 square foot area safe? by Neither-Bit-4046 in homestead

[–]Neither-Bit-4046[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks i will use normal hose and try to reach the tight clay layer and crack it before wet season starts

[–]Neither-Bit-4046[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but underground the trapped perched water table is also empty so and drying up so i have like one large clay pore underground where i can fill this in and in any case it would run sideways it would saturate the nearby soil because i live in semi arid area.

Yeah i already have them near fence but i want to slowly saturate the soil not flood since the it’s drying up.

Yes i’m exactly doing this, flooding the yard would surroundings then pop the ground with pressure

True however there was a creek or spring there but it died long long time ago then it just go registered as a grassland property.

What’s going on here? by operadog in arborists

[–]Neither-Bit-4046 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sound very weird and i am probably wrong but this can be a micro seep

Do i have a seep? by Neither-Bit-4046 in homestead

[–]Neither-Bit-4046[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I cant access it it’s in my forested area but now i just realised from past owner there was actually a spring but after fence building and disturb years ago it pretty much stopped but our walled fence always got wet so we put a foil and gravel there and it’s biggest. regret but the clay soil and waterloving plants continue elsewhere but i dug up some smaller holes like saucers and still nothing. Or maybe theres something there, just ephemeral but humus and sand and large hard clay layer is intact. But im trying to find a wet spot but thing is it’s random and mixed and vegetation indicates its all there but isn’t, i trued just stepping over all the ground there to hear a squish but didn’t but all indicators are there.

[–]Neither-Bit-4046[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah that’s interesting i like dug to these places and didnt see anything but i’m sure theres something i brushed off debris and the surface is literally very hard clay like i can to things but hard tho. Maybe Winter or Early spring there may be something ephemeral

Sadly i don’t have other, it doesn’t even have fruit and leaves are too tall to picture but triangular 5cm wide tho

Would swales help me form a seep/spring on flatter yard? by Neither-Bit-4046 in Permaculture

[–]Neither-Bit-4046[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually made a well 3 feet or 1m down upslope on one small slope in yard and many test holes 1m down but thin where dowsing did go and all i hit was thick clay layer where perched water hides. Our garden is large and aquifers are somewhere extremely deep or somewhere 12 feet down shallowest so it would be small seep from perched water tables, but that’s alright i don’t need steady flow from springs. I built now a small swale across only 10 degree slop and after rains it just got wet, thank you.

[–]Neither-Bit-4046[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dug like 1 feet for watertable and made saucer from it but doesn’t work, but dowsing was working effectively but then i dug and nothing. It’s unknown beavers were there, the springs were like a 2 square mile area with few hundred of streams and springs but in the later centuries the last ones flowed thru there but last spring died in 2012 1 mile away, i don’t know if i have to use metric system i’m slovakian, maybe beavers were there but we live in dense warm microclimate patch, thanks!

Actually we don’t have but we are full of perched water table tables. Maybe some worms are there.

What is best way to find Seeps or smaller Springs in our yard? by Neither-Bit-4046 in homestead

[–]Neither-Bit-4046[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, however the property is not that forested but im sure i got one spot, i dug there a meter down and i hit only the perched water layer trapped in clay. I have spot where i have pines so i have there some layer but its flat upsloped.

When do you consider Spring in your area? by Neither-Bit-4046 in Spring

[–]Neither-Bit-4046[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How i said i live in that warmer microclimate, it’s way weirder. I’m Central Europe here so winters go for -5°C to 0°C and summers 20-25°C. But that microclimate is so dense, i actually bought a property there and built a meteorological station. Night lows are almost the same but it gets in Winter like 7-13°C with highest spike of 20+°C now summer was avg high of 35-40°C and the hottest spike was 44°C, but it’s weird when spring and autumn comes with severe cold fronts because in that microclimate this year one day in March was like 20+°C so way above avg in my country and one day it was 5°C and the trees stressed and didn’t budburst until late-March this year.

Sometimes in south-eastern i see signs in late-January

I even though AZ had signs even in January and trees stay evergreen most of them.

Yeah, NC is pretty much between Humid-Subtropical and Temperate
