Title: Re: [permaculture] clearing land
Sorry about the lack information given in the first
post. The land we are currently is 3 acres growing raspberries, apples,
vegetables and flowers.
The land we will be moving to (the one covered with
alder) is 21 acres. It is located about 50 minutes east of Bellingham, WA
near the town of Maple Falls. Not all 21 acres are suited for growing row
crops. I would like to clear about 2 acres this year and total about 5 in
the the coming years. The cleared land will be used for a diverse market
garden. I would like to have some type of crop for market this season just
so I can maintain some presence at the market.
I like to use low impact, low/no till
methods. Ideally I'd like to clear the land by hand and garden/farm around
the little stumps maximizing practices that would make them decompose the
fastest (mulching, spraying compost tea etc..).
Basically I have no experience working with land
with little trees. Any ideas advice about practices or tools would be most
appreciated.
Rick you mentioned some interesting tools and
methods I'm not familiar with would you be able to send me your phone number off
list so I could all and ask some questions?
I'm also interested in learning about ways to make
the rest of the land productive and useful and hopefully income producing but
have little expierence with forest/agroforesty systems. Any advice
or books on this topic would be great.
thanks,
daniel
