Planning for a great summer!

Project: Jardin Collectif de Saint-Jérôme - Collective Garden of Saint-Jerome

Posted by Wen Rolland over 13 years ago

I'm planning my summer at the collective garden so here are a couple of thoughts...

Spring will soon be here so I'm putting a lot of time on planning my year at the garden. Last year, I tried some home made low tunnels and they worked great! I extended the harvest season for my eggplants and did a late sowing of mixed lettuce. You can see the result in the first 2 pictures.

The next picture is from our Jean Pain experiment. We had hot water all summer long and even late in autumn until our water froze in the garden hose... We used wood residue chopped really small from the city of Saint-Jérôme. I'll try to do a video of the process.

This year, we'll continue the Jean Pain experience with a long hose inside the heap instead of a reservoir. The reservoir was great because we could have water for 30 minutes straight but then it took 2 days to heat up again... With the hose, we'll have 5 to 10 minutes of hot water and it'll recharge in around 15 to 30 minutes.

We had a great harvest of garlic and I replanted a lot of them this autumn to have even more this year. They are a very important part of the garden. They are medicinal for the plants and the humans, great for cooking and beautiful in flower!

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
