3 days of earhtworks in late April, 2014.  Two equipment operators and myself. One small excavator and one skid loader.   Maintaining access to the higher parts of the property was a chalenge but was acheived with the use of 8" culvert in areas where road access was necessary.   Our soil is ver...

1. Layer of soaked cardboard for grass suppresion and moisture retention 2. Layer of cleanout from horse lot.  Rotted manure and hay for fertilitiy enhancement and soil development. 3. Layer of wood mulch for moisture retention and fungal encouragement.

Below are the pictures of the garden. First we design it with the walking paths. Above all paths we will put a kind of treillis, in order to create a big pergola to shade our visitors (the tropical sun is hot).

A demonstration garden featuring several types of beds and watering systems, plants and fruit trees adapted to dry climates, perennials or annuals, as well as composting techniques.

Hananiah's Rest Ranch is shooting for a target of abundance that speaks volumes about the source of all abundance. We are proposing to take 80 acres of impoverished land with no utilites and steward it into utter abundance.

The courtyard area near the front entry to the house (on the southern side) was regularly inundated by summer torrential downpour. This was only realised after the drought started to break well after the build was completed.  in hindsight our observation of the land before the build identified ru...

Rewilding our landbases, rewilding humanity.

The project was about recovering a site after a house build and shaping the first design towards applying permaculture principles in a cold temperate climate during a drought period.

The winter accumulation of kitchen scraps, plus exotic material as honey locust beans, turned out excellent mineral-rich compost material!
