Permaculture demonstration and work party this Sunday
Andy Roo
Hello everyone,
I will be hosting a Permablitz (aka a volunteer work party) this Sunday in Renton. It will
be a food forest planting party at the home of Ke and Louis Kucinski where I have recently been designing a sustainable orchard or "food forest" on 1/2 acre. This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet others in the
area and share and learn about permaculture and sustainable options that people are using to create better
lives for themselves and others.
The volunteer work party will begin at 9am with a light
breakfast while we discuss the food forest design, site concerns, use
and benefits of hugelkulturs mounds and suntraps, fungi for soil remediation
and plant health, and guild planting (what we are doing, where, and
why). We will then spend the rest of the day helping the Kucinskis plant their future permaculture orchard. We
will plant a range of species, from an autumn
olive/seaberry/alder/siberian pea shrub windbreak, to the main fruiting
species of fig, jujube, mulberry, persimmon, cherry, asian pear, mayhaw
and paw paw. We will also be broadcasting cover crops on the entire site. There will be lunch provided!
Everyone is welcome! The Kucinski's also have goats! :).
Rain is possible so please come prepared with waterproof boots and rain gear. If you have a shovel or a pick-mattock please bring it (with your name on it somewhere!) Gloves also if you want them.
