One year ago I moved from Warsaw to Azores (Sao Miguel island). I have a great space to create a gaden and I don't want to use any chemicals. I have tried to keep natural vegetable garden last summer but the weed here growes so fast and most vegetables didn't grow. I have a friend here who took peremaculture courses and explains some of the basics to me.
This year I have a good compost and I'm preparing the beds. Presently I'm looking for jute sacks and lucerne :)
Me and my husband are open for woofing. If you would like to share your permaculture experience and come to Azores to work with me in the garden, please send me an e-mail.
