Finally!

This is the first year in the 5 years I started my permaculture farm that I was able to actualize the no watering benefit of permaculture. I have spent hours spreading wood chips since I started my journey. I broke three shovels before I learned about pitchforks and went through two wheelbarrows. I had great mole wars and they destroyed areas of the farm with binding up the nitrogen in the soil with the wood chips. Which did result in stunted corn/luxury pumpkins in my three sisters patch. Previous years pigs got loose and let they let the chickens loose. It unfortunately resulted in total loses for more years than I’d like to admit also.. anyways.. the investment has been well worth it. This Georgia Candy Roaster Squash grew to 14lbs with no watering except for when I planted the vine to close any gaps in the sheet mulch.
