Sandy soil, clay soil or loamy soil.
Use any of described methods, or your experience.
1. Visual examination: You can get an idea of your soil type by examining its appearance and texture. Sandy soil will feel gritty, whereas clay soil will be smooth and sticky. Loamy soil will feel crumbly and hold together but will also break apart easily.
2. Jar test: A jar test is a simple and effective way to determine the composition of your soil. Collect a soil sample from your garden and fill a jar with one-third of the sample, then fill the jar with water and shake it well. Let the jar sit for a day or two, then observe the different layers that have formed. The top layer will be organic matter, the middle layer will be silt and clay, and the bottom layer will be sand. Based on the thickness of each layer, you can determine the soil type in your garden or farm.
Trees, fruits or vegetables, nuts, grasses etc.
How long have you been gardening? What plants did you grow?
Such as football, basketball, yoga, golf, tennis, swimming, fishing etc.
If yes, please describe the size of these groups and the frequency of the gatherings.
1.Rain barrels: Rain barrels are one of the simplest and most common types of water harvesting systems. They are typically placed under downspouts to collect rainwater from the roof. The water can be used to water plants, wash cars, and other non-potable uses.
2.Cisterns: Cisterns are larger storage tanks that can hold several hundred gallons of water. They can be installed underground or above ground, and can be used for both potable and non-potable uses.
3.Rain gardens: Rain gardens are designed to capture and absorb rainwater in a garden bed filled with plants that can tolerate wet soil conditions. The water is filtered through the soil and returned to the groundwater table.
4.Bioswales: Bioswales are shallow, sloped channels that are filled with vegetation and designed to capture and filter rainwater. They can be used to manage stormwater runoff in gardens and landscapes.
5.Permeable paving: Permeable paving is a type of paving material that allows rainwater to filter through the surface and into the ground. This can be used for driveways, walkways, and patios, and can help reduce stormwater runoff.
6.Green roofs: Green roofs are roofs that are covered with vegetation and designed to capture and absorb rainwater. They can be used to reduce stormwater runoff and improve the energy efficiency of buildings.
7. Greywater system: is a plumbing system that collects, treats, and reuses water from sources such as sinks, showers, and washing machines.
In permaculture, greywater is often directed to areas where it can be used for irrigation, such as garden beds or fruit trees, reducing the need for additional water sources.
Would you like to include any of the following features?
You’re welcome to attach photos, images or links to websites at the end of this questionnaire.
At the individual level, food self-reliance can range from growing a few herbs and vegetables in a backyard garden to producing a significant portion of one's own food through a larger garden, raising livestock, and preserving food for the off-season.
Achieving a high level of food self-reliance can have many benefits, such as increased food security, improved nutrition, and reduced environmental impact, but it requires knowledge, skills, and resources, and may not be feasible for everyone.
Do you have any or would you like to have?
Livestock can play an important role in a permaculture system, but there are also pros and cons to consider. With careful planning and implementation, most of the disadvantages can be avoided. It will be discussed during the design process.
This permaculture design include implementation task list with a practical timetable, and all the useful instructions and tips that you will need. But if you decide to construct the garden with professional help, we can help you find the best contractors from your area.
We are likely to implement in phases
If you want, we can prepare a month-by-month implementation plan for a year or several years. We can divide the implementation into phases, starting with the most critical elements and adding additional features as the budget allows.
What was planted on the property before? Have any sprays, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. been used?
Was the property was previously used for industrial or commercial purposes?
