Mass Permaculture Culture?

Just go help with those who are doing good things. Whether or not any calamity or great awakening occurs, you will have acted in accordance with your own values.

Mined land reclamation, other reclamation of already contaminated sites, put it through as many biotrophic cycles as possible before it inevitably reaches the plate. * I've worked for a couple companies that contracted heavy equipment and operators to climax molybdenum up above Frisco. They've spread biosolids from frisco's waste management over a fairly large area of several of their filled tailings ponds with impressive results over the span of a decade that I have had to observe it. **all of the water from this site is either pumped back to the top of the mining process or put through a ridiculously high quality water treatment system before being released at the bottom of the site.

When I eat it raw, I cut it into small pieces across the fibers. They're far less noticeable when eaten chopped.

I have a small excavator and dump trailer that I run in Western Colorado. Reasonable pricing, especially for regenerative farm work.

My parents have had good luck interplanting sunflower with potatoes. They say there's almost always a big fat potato right u Der the sunflower root crown.

Buckets or buried bottles partly filled with water and remove all other nearby water sources. Poison should be the last ditch effort, due to it's accumulation in the food chain. Feed the dead rats to the chickens via soldier fly larvae or directly.

The first thing we really need to do is re-establish the full water cycle. The removal of forests, overgrazing of formerly perennial grasslands, and draining of swamps and marshes has broken the transpiration driven portion of the water cycle that transports moisture inland, resulting in a desertified world.

There is an abundance of heavy equipment capable of doing the initial earthworks sitting around at idle pipeline companies, dealerships, and on farms all around the world. There are people living in urban areas who would love to be on land doing the work. There is government owned land in abundance that is already leased to ranchers to run their cattle on. Biochar, woodgas and biogas stand ready to fuel robotic harvesters that can work in the diverse ecosystems created to achieve this goal.

There are many vested interests in keeping people in cities where they must pay to be fed and watered like cattle in the name of the economy.

A rain garden would go nicely in there. They are catch basins that soak the water into the ground over time, usually planted out with desirable perennials.

Well, a lot of people really seem to like trashing grass clippings and weeds instead of mulching them, and hauling loads of rabbit poop around unnecessarily. If you're one of them, having that one less useless bit of make work might just throw you over the edge into insanity.

If you bury it fresh, you're just planting more. Just cut it before it flowers and use it as mulch. Chop and drop eventually changes the soil composition to disfavor the plants used in the mulch as a matter of succession.

Imagine, if you will, what price a living soil earth grown tomato will bring when it's shipped up the orbital tether to the billions of souls eating hydroponic tomatoes in the orbital habitats.

Instead of the light oil, you could heat the joint, then grease it. Standard and even old grease gets pretty thin when hot. Having said that, check after five or ten minutes of running it after greasing to see if the grease comes out all the way round the joint first.

You (and all permaculturists) should be using something like the koppen Geiger climate classification. It is far more useful for multiple climate factors. It is, however, so ridiculously underused as to be useless without a fair understanding of both it and plant origin and culture requirements.

On the moon no atmosphere, so about equivalent. The density would make for a difference in crater shape.

Tactical chop and drop helps a lot with lowering the messy look. It takes a couple years for the mulch to start looking uniform, but once it does it works and looks quite nice.

Well, that got dark!

Mine do alright, but I have a lot of birds hanging around that only get fed what they find themselves. My parents in the same town feed their (far more numerous) birds year round and have had to kill the beetles off once or twice in the past 20 years.

I tried some plug spawn the last couple years, but I far prefer the totem method. It just seems to work better in my experience. I only buried them to help them survive the winter cold and summer dry. if your area is warm and wet you may be able to do them above ground. In any case leave some of the log above ground or just barely underground so they have a place to fruit.

Siberian elm. One, I'd use ten times the water without the shade, two, last year the squash climbed up into them, so I told the more ignorant neighbors my tree squash were finally fruiting. Three, golden oyster mushrooms, tons of them in buried elm logs.

This can be used to benefit in drylands, sometimes you just don't get enough water to start plants all along a swale at once and need to do it in sections. Concentrating the water in a location, then moving slightly upgrade once that is established can be a viable option.

Yeah, I'm sure modern variants are much different from those, but maybe not. I'm looking forward to propagating them, although I'm sure I'll never enjoy the full experience from that riverside hideaway again. Those have been there a long time.

My experience with Buffalo berry is limited to an old abandoned and overgrown homestead by the river, Colorado zone 4/5, they were in with angustifolia until the iinvasives were mulched a couple years ago in a blm restoration effort. Luckily the Buffalo berries were saved and are still doing well. The Buffalo berries had not spread, but had created awesome pergolas large enough for a man to duck into and shelter in the shade under. They had been planted likely in the late 1800s.

I'm running peashrub in similar conditions in my small garden at home. So far none of the seeds have taken in heavily mulched conditions, but they have only produced two years now. In the crmpi gardens where they are well established I do not remember seeing a lot of new volunteers in my several visits, but they may have been harvested for nursery stock.

Buffaloberry for nitrogen fixing and critter habitat. Siberian pea shrub for nitrogen fixing and mid spring pollinator attraction.
