After 2 years we finally got zone 1 of the homestead where we want it. In the past I always wanted this stuff done yesterday. After finally getting to our piece of paradise I’ve slowed down and enjoyed the building just as much as the production of the finished product. Building a permaculture orchard has always been top priority on my list as it interests me the most but I took others words of wisdom and took care of these high producing zone 1 systems first and I couldn’t be happier I did. We already feel the abundance and a weight has been lifted and I don’t feel in a rush to do anything else which is going to give me time to really plan the orchard properly and start off right with a deer fence this year where old me may have put trees right in the ground without protection or accessible water ready. The task of building zone 1 has really set the tone and I’m looking forward to whats to come.
