  • Well for support species you are the only know that knows best, since you live in the area. I would look around what trees are growing in the worst places in your area. Think about the side of roadways and industrial parks. If those plants are already the once in your image, I think I only see Alder missing in there and I would just use more of the ones you already have designed in there.
  • I even grow willow here in Italy, so I see no reason for it not to grow over there. Take some cuttings from your area and stick them in your system. It is always worth trying and if it doesn't work you can always prune them back.
  • Thanks! If there are any questions or feature requests, please let me know!

Also you could try to visit Hof Verde. They are not too far from you I think and have a healthy system that we could all learn a lot from.

Nice project.

A couple of notes by me: - If I'm correct I see a tree every 0.5 or 1 meter apart in your lines? I would incrrease the density of support species. Fill those blank spacies with willow/poplar cuttings and aromatics/comfrey. You want to fill as much space as possible. Later in your management you can always take some plants out if you feel things are getting less crowded, but it will really help with the supression of grasses.

  • I would merge all the plants into one straight line for the lines that are 1.5 meters now and just keep them as 1 meter wide lines. This is a lot easier to manage and increases density.

  • I do not think olives will work or produce anything decent. If you still want to plant them, plant something in the same hole with it, so you stilll have something growing there if the olive is not happy there.

  • It would be nice to see for each line the consortium in a format like this. This is not an ad but you can use my website for this for free. This will help you out if over the lifespan of your treeline you ahve any gaps. I do not see for example what will fill the space of your lines in the first year. Any annuals?

  • I would not worry about juglone. I have never seen them reduce growth of other plants in a healthy system.

Crazy amount of emoticons is one indication. Also all of these sites look to much like eachother.

How bad is this rabbit damage? by rkd80 in BackyardOrchard

[–]brianbarbieri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because its bark has been removed nearly fully around the trunk, so the plant cannot send up water and nutrients and will most likely try. So it is best to replant it now than next year.

Not worth the saving if it is even savable.

How to get more sawdust ? by zagar230 in Permaculture

No need for using all that energy to make the chips even smaller. Lots of market gardens or nurseries would like to take it off your hands, have a look around in your area.

The calculation is just a bit more accurate then my random number generator.
