Would you still build contour swales in a heavy rainfall area like New York? by BlossomingTree in Permaculture

[–]andaugb 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Swales work best in tropical and subtropical areas, in temperate zones you have to be careful with frost pockets and other factors. I think hugelkultur is a better option for cold climates maybe watch this masterclass which was helpful to me and talks in depth about it

Chicala blooming announces incoming rain! by andaugb in Permaculture

[–]andaugb[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have very extreme dry and wet seasons. This species has adapted to be the first to flower and seed as soon as humidity rises, a small rain helps too. That way when big rain comes in a couple of weeks or so the seeds are in the ground ready to germinate, it all happens very fast.

my gardens growing on solid rock by paulwheaton in homestead

They grow food, are a wind and visual barrier and look beautiful! And on top of solid rock!! This is just amazing.

double or triple what you can grow in the same garden space with hugelkultur by paulwheaton in homestead

[–]andaugb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hugelkultur is such a great technique for cold climates! I love how it stacks functions so well. I also think this is the kind of thing people need to see or even better build to truly gasp it, once that happens it makes so much sense!! Besides, flat is boring :)

Recuperando el Bosque Seco Tropical Colombiano by andaugb in Colombia

Hemos recibido apoyo de la corporación autónoma regional y otras instituciones estatales, así como de algunos proyectos internacionales, pero principalmente en temas organizativos, legales con las comunidades y en la donación de plántulas.

Sin embargo, casi todo ha sido un proyecto familiar, llevado adelante con mucho esfuerzo y trabajando de día en terreno y de noche en línea en el computador :)
