it's a shame the last comment above started on page 2 as I just added new links on page 1 so flick back 1 page for photos!!
Heres the link https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...3cabf73&type=1
to another album, another zone 1 area under construction, that will contain a walnut offering a yield of err walnuts lol as well as deciduous shade from afternoon sun for the house and annual and perennial herb beds as well as a cane fruit area and also a source of mulch in the form of the dropped leaves for the beds in the system.... this area will also have raised wicking beds for annual herbs as well as the perennial border I have already mentioned.
some existing trees have been felled for fire protection reasons as well as allowing light in and making room for the beds. the felled trees are yielding mulch for the perennial beds and firewood. I'll keep the album and this post updated as work continues!
Macey, I was having a look at some of your FB pictures. What type of compost/manure are you using? Your beds look so productive and lush!
I might have to add you on FB to have a more convenient squiz.

compost wise mostly my own from a cold composting system using all and everything generated from the house and garden as well as a big pile of dark compost left behind by the previous owners. the chickens go over the beds twice a year supplying manure although I did buy in one lot of extra organic compost when I had a shortage of chickens following a dog attack. I mulch heavily and often chop and drop plants left after harvest. Thats about it really! Please feel free to add me on FB!!Originally Posted by LonerMatt

I have to say after looking at all the photos that you are an inspiration. It looks great.
