RE: Surviving a Scorcher - Food Forest Ideas
We've gone through drought before here, and summer is tough - so much so that last year I gave up somewhat. This year I'll be doing some wicking beds for sure, and letting a lot of my beds lie fallow with manure and mulch on top. We have a grape vine that is starting to grow over the top of the beds in summer too, and if it gets worse this year shadecloth will be an option. Great post - and your garden looks amazing. We do have a version of that rock dust here, kinda forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.
Every time you describe your garden, I paint a beautiful picture in my head. I really can't wait to see what your garden looks like in the Spring. Wicking beds sound so interesting. I watched the video you included in the post. Please keep us updated on the wicking beds. Would like to try that myself.
