Homesteading and beyond! 5 powerful permaculture ideas to add to your homestead or farm. Regenerative & organic home-based agriculture ideas.
I am being asked what is syntropic farming and whether we apply the syntropic farming methods to our permaculture gardening and designs, and also, what is the difference between Permaculture and syntropic agriculture? Is there any difference? Here are my "two cents" on this topic.
Creating your own permaculture design in your backyard is relatively easy, believe it or not. Creating urban permaculture gardens is a specific skill that is great to have because permaculture designs are created to support almost all of the needs of a family. Keep reading to see a few great urban permaculture designs.

Forest Gardens are an excellent way to produce food and other resources for humans while enhancing biodiversity by providing a range of habitat for wildlife within the design. They are very enjoyable to design, build and interact with. Creating a forest garden is an intellectual pursuit as well as a physical one. It’s like a living, 3D amorphous puzzle that you can eat : ) Autumn of 2018 we tried out a new course format, the "Design 'n Build", an intensive practical course where we go through the whole design process of a forest garden and complete the build of a project within 3 days. We had a great group join us for the course and managed to complete the design and build of a 100 m2 forest garden consisting of around 120 plants representing 22 species (not including the local plants). During this post we'll cover how we designed and built this forest garden, starting with the design for the garden illustrating the garden when initially planted and when mature and a look at the specifications of the site. The Site Specs Climate: Temperate Köppen Climate Classification - Dfc borderline Cfb USDA Hardiness Zone: 5b - 7a Latitude: 42° Elevation: 574 m Average Annual Rainfall: 588.5 mm Ataraxia - Forest Garden - before and after A great starting point for any land-based design is surveying the plot and surrounding area. On the first day of the course following a brief introduction we got straight to work with the climate surveys. This work that can be largely achieved with a PC and the internet.

Climate Survey We start with the climate survey that helps to define the boundaries of our options. The kind of information we are looking for here is as follows: Mean temperatures and the average amount of rain your site receives each year and in what months that rain is received. It's very useful to have the extreme records for this info too, i.e, what is the most amount of rainfall recorded in any one event in any one month and what were the hottest and coldest days recorded. How much light your site receives throughout the year and how that light is distributed on the ground (which objects create shade) If relevant, how many days of snow cover will you receive Temperature patterns of your site. The lowest and highest recorded temperatures are very important to know, as are the dates of your first and last frosts The wind patterns of your site, from which direction does the wind blow and how intense is that wind? You can find the above information with the charts at www.meteoblue.com Botanical Survey We then moved onto the site to take a look at the botany, taking note of the vegetation, specifically the layers that are already growing on the site. Obviously we did not have time to record all of the plants (best achieved by surveying in each season) but we have been making these records for the last few years. We looked at a few indicator species and methods to categorise and record plants. Making a botanical survey is a great way to really get to know your site and of course, the resident plants. Some of the amazing polyculture that already exists on the site (photos from spring- summer) Here's a list of some of the existing plant species from this site. TREES HERBS Crataegus sp. Hawthorn Hypericum perforatum Perfoliate St John's Wort Prunus cerasifera Myrobalan Plum Verbascum thapsus Great Mullein Cornus Mas Cornelian Cherry Veronica sp. Speedwell SHRUBS Cruciata laevipes Crosswort Rosa Canina Dog Rose Galium aparine Cleavers Rubus fruticosus var. Blackberry Bellis perennis Daisy Prunus spinosa Sloe Malva alcea Malva HERBS Vicia lutea Yellow Vetch Mentha longifolia Horsemint Medicago arabica Spotted Meddick Cichorium intybus Chicory GROUND COVER Origanum vulgare Oregano Lamium maculatum Spotted Dead Nettle Ranunculus spp. Buttercup Clematis vitalba Travellers Joy Aristolochia clematitis Birthwort Hedera helix Ivy Vicia hirsuta Hairy Tare BULB Plantago major Greater Plantain Ornithogalum sp. Ornithogalum Plantago media Hoary Plantain Muscari neglectum Grape-hyacinth Vicia cracca Tufted Vetch Corydalis bulbosa Corydalis Orlaya grandiflora White Lace Scilla bifolia Alpine Squill In all of the perennial polycultures I design, my intention is to retain all of the existing species and to add more edible/productive plants along with fertility/support plants to assist them. More often than not many of the plants already growing on your site will be edible, medicinal, attractive to wildlife and fascinating organisms that are well worth getting to know.

Soil Survey Next we made a simple but effective soil survey to gauge the quality of the soil we are working with. The soil test covers the below: 1.GROUND COVER - What is covering the surface of the soil 2.PENETROMETER - How easy is it to penetrate the soil 3.INFILTRATION - How quickly the soil drains water 4. DIVERSITY OF MACROLIFE - Quantity of visible soil organisms present on the surface 5. ROOT DEVELOPMENT - How the plant roots are distributed throughout the soil profile 6. SOIL STRUCTURE - How the solid parts of soil and the pore space between them are arranged 7. AGGREGATE STABILITY - How stable is the structural arrangement 8. EARTHWORMS - How many 9. LAB ANALYSIS - pH - the mineral content of your soil Katrin, Andreas and Frances Making the soil test. Apart from Lab Analysis, all of the tests can be carried out with materials you will likely have around you. This soil test, when repeated each year, is a great way to track the progress of your soil overtime and to see how your methods are increasing or decreasing the health of your soil. The tests were developed by Northern Rivers and you can find full instructions and more info here.

Cadastral and Topography Survey After lunch we were back on site for the cadastral survey, to mark the perimeter of the design area and to make a topography survey in order to gain an understanding of the shape of the ground i.e where it slopes, high points and low points etc. Cadastral - In this case the boundary for the garden was defined by existing features of the site, i.e, a hedgerow to the west, a main access path to the east, the property boundary to the south and an overflow swale for the main pond to the north. When marking the boundaries of the design we made sure to include a 1 m wide pathway around the entire area. The corners of the plot were staked and we measured the distance between each corner with a measuring wheel taking note of each distance between each point in order to recreate the design on software later. You can also do this with a very accurate GPS (RTK based) and an orthophoto (an aerial photograph or image geometrically corrected such that the scale is uniform and corresponds to the GPS data). A standard smart phone GPS and google earth do not provide anything of practical use at this scale. For a multi hectare plot they are adequate to gain a general impression. Topography Survey - Next we embarked upon the topography survey Using a transit level we established the contour lines on the site and measured elevation distance from the highest to the lowest point of the site. We found we have a mild slope from the North to the South and towards the East. Given that we have an irrigation channel to the west of the garden this meant that we could arrange irrigation channels and planting patterns to take advantage of gravity to irrigate all of the plants on the site. The irrigation channel design we choose determined the layout of our access which in turn provided us with a number of subdivisions within the plot. That's all for this post, and in How to Design and Build A Forest Garden - Part 2 - Creating, we will look at how we selected plants for the design, the rationale behind our plant placement , how we prepared the site for the work to begin, how we established the irrigation channels, pathways and planting zones for the plants, our planting out techniques and how to manage the garden.

Have you heard about the benefits of biodynamic? A step up from organic, this method of farming enhances the quality of ingredients and reduces environmental impact. What does this mean for your skin care?
We like science and research here at Kellogg Garden, because when you’re dealing with things like organic gardening and soil health, science and research go a long way to helping gardeners make sound choices not only for their own home gardens, but for their community and the world around them. The problem is, sometimes the words and phrases are really science-y and research-y. Take carbon sequestration, for example. I’m pretty sure none of my regular Joe garden friends have heard about it, but it’s a critically important concept in soil health. You can read more about what carbon sequestration is and why you should be aware of it, but in a nutshell, carbon sequestration is the process of returning valuable carbon to the soil to enrich it and make it more resistant to drought and floods. Carbon sequestration is a part of what’s called “regenerative gardening” — gardening practices that heal the soil and the land. From climate change to unsustainable farming practices, our land has seen better days, but there are a number of things the home gardener can do to be a part of this global land regeneration. In part one of our What is Carbon Sequestration? series we discussed no-till gardening, cover crops, composting, plant diversity, and organics; in this segment, we are adding a few more garden practices that you can use to heal your soil, waterways, and help your community. Root Decomposition You know how at the end of the garden season, you pull out all of your spent plants? This year, consider leaving some of the roots in place. Simply cut off the above-ground portion of the plant, toss it into the compost pile, and leave the roots to decompose in the soil. This practice helps the development of healthy soil structure and texture that holds moisture and has more active soil biology. Plus, it’s a lot less labor-intensive, and I think we can all agree that’s a good thing. Biochar Biochar is a fine-grained charcoal that, when added to the soil, improves water retention, creates a diverse microbial population, and sequesters carbon (there’s that phrase again). And all of that leads to healthier soil and more vigorous plant growth. So the next time you’re out stocking up on bagged soils and potting mixes, look for biochar in the ingredients. Garden Livestock While most of us probably don’t own and operate a full-on farm or ranch, many of us do have small urban farms with livestock. Small numbers of goats, sheep, and even cows are becoming increasingly popular on larger urban lots, but the question remains — how do you manage grazing so that the soil is not negatively impacted? The answer: holistic planned grazing, where the amount of livestock and recovery time needed for the plants in that area are taken into consideration when creating grazing plans. Bare Soil Coverage Ever seen large areas of bare soil? Yeah, that’s not good. Bare soil easily erodes and compacts, so that is something to avoid in your own garden. Consider practices like sheet composting, cover crops, and covered pathways to provide extra protection for vulnerable soil. Share The Garden Love
(Food Forest in June of its first year at Lillie House. Ugly? Heck no! Not at Lillie House! PS - all those beautiful flowering plants are EDIBLE!) Gaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! This is driving me crazy! I keep hearing from people that one of the LAWS OF NATURE of forest gardens is that for AT LEAST the first few years they'll be ugly tangled messes that will drive your neighbors to drink - and then rotten egg your car, T.P. your house and vote you off the island. 5 times this week alone I heard this concern from 5 different people! I'm not entirely sure where this is coming from, but I'm guessing it has to do with rural agriforest systems. Here's the thing, rural agriforest systems on farms aren't designed for beauty. So don't judge them for it! They're designed to get farmers and homesteaders up and going with an easy and cheap planting that gets fruit trees in the ground on a large commercial scale with as little fuss, investment and planning as possible. Eventually, they turn into beautiful landscapes, but that's just an added benefit, not their goal for the first year of planting. Forest gardens in urban/suburban areas CAN ABSOLUTELY be designed to be beautiful places, even in the first year. Personally, I consider it one of the most important factors of these gardens, that unlike conventional agriculture, forest gardens create a beautiful landscape for our communities. In fact, most academic researches include "beauty" as a part of the very definition of traditional forest garden systems, from the cottage gardens and hedgerows of England to the "home gardens" of the tropics! "Young food forest = ugly" is totally and completely false. Period. In my opinion, early establishment can be the neatest and most conventionally beautiful stage of a forest garden, if planned to meet that goal. The fact is, if you're willng to spend as much on a forest garden as you are on conventional landscaping, you can have a functional forest garden that looks just like conventional landscaping. Easy peasy. Of course, I have no idea why anyone would ever WANT to do that, because I personally think 99% of modern conventional landscaping looks horrendous and appalling and reflects the worst of cheap, disposable destructive consumer cultural values. "Conspicuous consumption" in plant form. But still, as a matter of point, there's absolutely no reason that it can't be done. (This is "attractive?" Sigh. Everybody's entitled an opinion, right? Still, with plant substitutions this depressing landscape could AT LEAST be a productive edible forest garden...) These landscapes are designed for one thing, and one thing only: making money off of the human need for conformity. The style means that any unskilled laborer, with absolutely no understanding of plants, ecology, garden history or aesthetics, can make your yard look like every body else's. On the other hand, well-designed forest garden aesthetics can reflect a whole history of human cultures, ideals of wealth and happiness, art and architecuture traditions, and a more rewarding relationship with nature that modern landscaping doesn't even concern itself with. But that doesn't necessarily mean forest gardens are "messy" or "ugly." So lets put this bad, totally wrong idea to rest once and for all. Let's look at some well-designed forest gardens in their first year in the ground. Some, in their very first spring, judging from the daffodils, not long after snow melt! So, not just beautiful in year 1, but from the beginnings of the first growing season. Beautiful. Forest garden polyculture bed in year 1 at Lillie House, in classic "Jardin de Cure" style. Dug just months before.... Center for Alternative Technology forest garden in year 1. Now, that's beautiful! Speaks of a balanced, appreciative view of nature and our place in the world. Young food forest in an English back yard, from the great blog: Reminds me a great deal of George Washington's garden at Mt. Vernon, which could a great model for a food forest! There it is, one of the most famous gardens in American history, designed by the father of our country - I dare you to say THAT's un-American! I can design you a food forest that looks just like this in its FIRST SEASON for a fraction fo the cost of conventional landscaping and it would feed you fresh vegetables, salad and fruit every day of the growing season. And your "patriot" neighbors won't be able to say a word about your Washington-inspired aesthetics! Seriously, does anybody on the planet think this looks better than George Washington's garden? Think anybody's going to be visiting this place to admire it's beauty in 200 years? And keeping that ocean of chemical lawn from washing away those lonely little lumps of green - clearly all hunkered down in battle formation - probably takes way more time and energy to care for than Washington's work does. Now, here's a professionally installed forest garden in year 1. Beautifully done! Great use of color and texture, plus a feeling of being in cooperation with nature, rather than dominating it to submission with precise ruler-measured plant spacings, plastic cloth, poison and bizarre dyed mulches. I guarantee you it takes less work to maintain than the picture above it! Beautiful beginnings of PJ Chmiel's forest garden in Lawton, early implementation on a large, challenging site! Just one dude did that on a very limited budget as just one small part of a large project. https://flickr.com/photos/91915217@N00/sets/72157625632422511 Simple, standard suburban home forest garden year 1. Very well done. Anybody can do that. And it even looks good in suburbia! Row of beautiful guilded fruit trees in their first year. Great use of layers and seasonal interest. Angelo's famous sub-tropical Urban food forest in its first year. Well done! This micro-mini organic forest garden is famous the world over as a beautiful back yard that beats the productivity of professional, chemical agriculture many times over. In this early picture the largest plants are all annuals that could grow in our Michigan climate. You want to invest in quality hardscaping and your forest garden can look just like this - or better! Young fruit trees in their second spring. There's nothing about this guild that couldn't look like this in year one.... Young (first year) fruit trees guilded with a beautiful herb garden. A great strategy for early succession. The CAT forest garden ground covers, again in year 1. At our place again. See that stick in the ground on the right? Year one! My "stick collection" in its first Spring. Guilded with beautiful, edible plants. Formal layout and mown grass paths kept a formal feel. Beautiful thickly planted carpet of daffs act as a pest deterrent. Also pretty. Fall of year 2. Still lookin' good! Visitors would often say: "Beautiful garden! Do you also grow food?" Clearly our forest garden didn't look like a tangled mess of ground covers. Another view of daffs in the forest garden. All of what you see is in its first year, though we had the benefit of an unusually warm spring to get an early start. And our project prioritized low cost and ease of establishment over early aesthetics. We were dead broke after buying a house and relocating to a new state. That there garden probably cost around $100. And finally, Hidcote Manor garden, one of the most famous and beautiful gardens in history. Often considered an "ornamental forest garden," could easily be adapted with mostly edible species. Edible Hidcote, imagine that. Not hard, actually, since I see many edible species in the virtually every garden at Hidcote! Just one of MANY gardens in the English and French tradition that could easily be food forest gardens. So that's that! I could have posted another 50 pictures from well-done projects I'm familair with... because food forests are just plain beautiful places. And if you've got a horrible, weedy tangled mess of a forest garden and the neighbors are starting to egg your car, get in touch with me and I'll come show you how to fix it!

I published it with the Blogger App which doesn't handle hyper links and it appears to have removed them all. So now I have to hunt them all down again. A blogging app that can't use hyper links makes about as much sense as conventional landscaping....)

Transitioning to more sustainable forms of agriculture remains critical, as many current agriculture practices have serious consequences including deforestation and soil degradation. But despite agriculture’s enormous potential to hurt the environment, it also has enormous potential to heal it. Realizing this, many organizations are promoting regenerative agriculture as a way to not just grow food but to progressively improve ecosystems.
