RE: The view from my homestead driveway at sundown.

in Photography2 years ago

Man that looks like a nice little section there.

And with a little bit of tree trimming I bet that's going to be a really nice little spot.

And might want to look in some plant varieties really like shade so some of that shade area might be exceptional planting areas for them.

Not all plants want full-time high-power sunlight.

Sort:  

Sadly not mine, this is as I'm leaving the homestead, across the street. It is about 150 yards to the treeline, and my property is higher. So at sundown, they get shaded; but during the day, it would make a great garden spot!

I like your eye for the train and light.

You're going to make a farmer yet.

I'm working on being a farmer, ROFLOL!

The homestead is so wooded, that I will have to cut trees to get enough sun for my solar system, and a garden. I hate to, but I will mill the trees for lumber; so they aren't wasted.

Biochar..

Actually getting a small processing system so that you just bake it down to charcoal and don't run it all to Ash...

Although I'm sure you probably put everything through a chipper and make the process quite a bit easier.

My brain is kind of been batting around ideas on how to turn all plant matter from limbs leaves and even weeds into excessive amounts of biochar.

Yep..

And when you start looking at it like remodeling a house you have to do some demolition to open up space. And then when you got nice open free space cleaned out then you can start rebuilding.

One of my really fun and interesting ideas is getting a 20 ft tall cherry tree and slowly bending it into an arch and put a little bit of cloning gel on the tip of the tree and start getting that set up as I'm growing the arch. Then planting the tip and having have two fruit systems to support flowers.

For a while there it will definitely help keep down the pruning and help keep the fruit closer to the ground. All it takes is just a little string.

However for every tree you take out I wonder how many you have planned on putting in. As well as putting in the variety.

I am planning on biochar! It solves a lot of problems, and gives long term gains. I plan to use aquaponics in a wallipini greenhouse (partly buried); to give me year round production. I think I've figured out how to use biochar in the aquaponics system, which is not supposed to work! I hate to remove these trees, as they are oak and black walnut; but I've no choice as I've got to have sun!

I will plant some fruit trees, on the edges.

👍💙🤠💗🤕🥴

There's always something that can happen.

Yes biochar is awesome.

True biochar is along the addition to the garden quality! They say that aquaponics can Not be combined with bio char. But I have figured out how to do it anyway. Life stays interesting!

I'm adding a satellite machine shop at the homestead, for dealing with 'surprises' that happen....
