RE: 🌋 Washing Veggies, Eating Carbon, & Missing The Lost Hammock Hut 🛖

Could you plant shrubs at the edge of the cliff? The root system should hold it in place as well as suck up some of the water.

Very few things will grown in this clay soil, but we've found that sweet potatoes are working well. They provide a nice blanket of leaves to shield from the rain erosion, but they take a while to get established. The most important thing was directing the surface water away from the cliff, and since doing that, we haven't lost any more land. We're working on a compost project at the moment, and once we have some good dirt we'll begin growing more things.
