  • How to produce substantial amount of grain and hay for horse and cows???

    Its easy to plant garden and fruit tree, but the most important is grain .

    How to do that without using mono culture techniques.

  • I do not need to grow grain to feed animals. In this climate we have grass growth year round, supplemented by tree fodder crops, especially tagasaste, carob, and oak. For human food, and a little for chickens, I take grain from a nearby cropping farm, but also will probably try some small scale grain cropping between the olive tree rows, most likely using the pasture cropping technique developed here in Australia.

  • What if someone moves in to your property and behaves badly? Gets up earlier and packs off all the fruit and hocks more than thier fair share of the timber? Let's thier goats run wild and mistakes your livestock for thier own?

  • The property will have a legally enforceable decision making process and management plan, just as laws apply to any houses in any street where there is a rule of law. I think we can make this place work at least as well. : )

  • you could allow peoeple to build or bring yurts too, to decrease the resources needed for homebuilding

  • David, thank you for sharing your vision with the world. I am in love with the images, feelings, and future you presented in these 8 minutes. -Thank you!

  • Thank you for your timely response. I think you can too. Though I don't have much taste for covenant based condominums or coop decision boards especailly when self interest inevitably emerges sometimes in an elitist way. The good news is that your chosen approach will develop an increasing bounty that will be desireable enough for contentions. Also aproductive community rather than a consumption based domicile.

  • I think this land can easily support nine households, with surplus for sale. This place is presently underpopulated due to current planning regulations, with a review in the pipeline. David
