About Me:
My wife and I have had a 365 day a year veggie garden in our yard, we are new to a lot of permaculture design but have picked up a lot so far, we are currently designing our 3 acre homestead property in Prescott that right now is a blank slate so any ideas is a great help, we plan on doing extensive earthworks using swails to harvest water and and feed what will become a small "food Forrest". A food fence will suround the entire place, so any tips will rock!!
