Hi all,
I have a request for information, network connections, suggestions, and
reflections.
I'm based in Reno, Nevada, on the East slope of the Sierra Nevada mtns,
elevation ~4500 ft. lat. 39 degrees N. Winter Wet (Nov-May) precip ~5-10
inches/year, min temps ~ -10 F, max temps ~110 F.
I work with a environmental education, service, outreach, and education
non-profit organization, and we have recently started using a yeomans plow
and aerobic compost tea brewer as part of our tool kit for ecological
restoration projects.
Currently, we're working on designing a 'restoration' and invasive weed
management project with the Forest Service, and we are planning on starting
with soil renovation and improving hydrologic function as the foundation of
our design implementation. To do this, we are combining a few tool sets
and
strategies including Permaculture, Keyline Design, and Soil Food Web. The
Forest Service has asked us for literature references specific to our
approaches. We have some but they are not comprehensive, and we are
looking
in particular for any references that examine broad acre landscape
treatment, restoration to native grasslands or grass-shrub mosaic
communities, cold arid/brittle environments, and invasive weed management.
Also, anything specific to the short and long term results of Keyline
pattern cultivation treatments with a yeomans plow would be exceptional.
We're providing them with references to the PA Yeomans books, and the
Geographic Basis of Keyline. Anything beyond that is much appreciated.
This can include contact info for people with similar projects in process.
Thank you so much,
Towards an ecological society,
Neil

G'day,
Keyline as a *system* has been remarkably under-researched, though more
importantly primary producers appreciate its benefits as more often than
not
they will listen to another producer than an extensionalist, though of
course I am generalising.
Best advice I can give you is to look at the following sites:
http://www.marincarbonproject.org/
http://soilcarboncoalition.org/
http://managingwholes.com/
http://www.keylinevermont.com/Welcome.html
Have fun.
All the best,
Darren

Robert Hart's Forest Garden
Robert Hart?s original forest garden in Shropshire continues to hold a
fascination for a wide number of people. Hart?s description of the
garden in his books and confusion over what happened to the garden
following his death in March 2000 have both created an aura of mystery
which haunts references to the place.
Highwood Hill is currently a private residence with no public access to
the site. The forest garden which Hart created appears to have been
partly cleared. The remaining elements have been untended and without
human intervention have proceeded on a path of natural succession. The
shade of the tree cover has led to a diminution in the under storey,
although a few fruit bushes are still visible.
Robert Hart's garden survives in his books and in the gardens that
others have started around the world under his inspiration - it is not
here.
*************************************** ******
You can read more about the garden's past in these accounts:
An account of a visit by a group of people from Plants For A Future in
the Summer of 1996 (comments underneath the original account, give some
information about subsequent developments).
An account by Graham Burnett of a visit by Naturewise to the site in
July 1997 (with photos).
In September 1997 David Jacke and Eric Toensmeir visited the garden,
took photographs and made up to date plans. These, and an account of
their visit can be found in their book Edible Forest Gardens; Volume
One: Visions & Theory (Chelsea Green: White River Junction, 2005). The
visit is also referred to briefly in this 2005 interview with David
Jacke, from Talking Leaves magazine.
In July 1998 some graduates of a permaculture design course run by
Naturewise visited Robert Hart, a short account by Jascha Rohr is
available here . This also appears to be when the Iota Pictures video
Forest Gardening with Robert Hart was shot.
An account of a visit by permaculture teacher Aranya to Robert Hart in
1999 and some of the events subsequent to Hart?s death.
Paul Evans visited the garden shortly after Hart?s death in March 2000,
a short account of which was published in The Guardian.
Allan Shepherd wrote Hart?s Guardian obituary , including brief mention
of a visit to the Garden before Hart?s death.
