The 3 Most Important Steps To Working With Nature
About this episode
Are you an experienced gardener but still looking for a way to grow the way Nature does? Without constant costly inputs?
How to Grow with Nature - a cyclical pattern
1. Observe & Study (experience + book knowledge)
2. Alignment (Climate, Site Energies: Solar Path, Water & Wind Pressures, Slope, Aspect)
3. “Accept Feedback”: Continue to Observe & Study through Reflection & Discussion in order to adapt to improve alignment or realign to new insights or phenomenon.
Methods of Alignment
- “STUN: Strategic Total Utter Neglect” Mark Shepherd
- Throw Sow (broadcasting)
- Dry Farming
- The Best Seeds/Plants from the Worst Areas
- Broadforking/Keyline Ripping, not Tilling
- Compost & Natural Inputs like Legumes/CoverCrops/MulchCrops
- Companion Planting/Polycultures/Plant Guilds
