Permaculture Principles in an annual garden

Today we clean up, organize, design and expand the annual garden. We're going to take some permaculture principles into this design, such as contour, water flows, energy flows, polycultures, biochar, manures, compost, and more!

Oh, and a quickie before I continue, midway through the video I'm walking up the path next to the pond, pointing out mint along side the path and I say "mint and garlic" when the garlic is Egyptian Walking Onion. My brain and mouth betray eachother sometimes, and my brain thinks Onions and my mouth says garlic. I think it's a funny dyslexia thing maybe?

Also, good news! My land is now officially certified as a wildlife habitat!

What does that mean, in a practical sense?

To be honest, not really a whole lot. However, one thing I'm hoping that it does is that people who walk by see my place as contributing positively to the Earth. Sometimes changing someone's perception of that big woodchip pile, or all those weedy looking plants like Dandelions that I leave growing in my lawn and garden... maybe it is the trigger that opens their mind, and unplugs them. Worst case? It's a cool sign and it makes me feel good, so "Imma do it."

Then we take a wander around and show more food forest updates. The updates come quick this time of year. Each day is a new tree blooming.
