They are planting a fruit and vegetable gardens intermingled with wildlife habitat consisting of native vegetation. They're restoring drainage ditches that once went through the farm with more native vegetation to create more wildlife habitat. They also installed a 5000 gallon water tank that runs on solar power to drip irrigate nearby crops and gardens. Goats have been used to clear the property of blackberry bushes of which a portion is now an orchard. It looks like there was a permaculture seminar (http://www.21acres.org/permaculture-workshop) at 21 Acres last weekend! Here is another link to the planned permaculture area you are referring to (http://www.21acres.org/back18acres/food-forest-permaculture). I'll have to keep your question in mind for my next visit out there... :)Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289293347871485325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631933644851721351.post-27835582318834472602009-04-16T09:55:00.000-07:002009-04-16T09:55:00.000-07:00:-) Did you get to see anything about their plann...:-) Did you get to see anything about their planned permaculture area?
