WHY DID WE CHOOSE PERMACULTURE FOR OUR HOMESTEAD / FARM?

Permaculture really helped us shape our goals and plans for the homestead / farm and our decision-making process. In this video, we talk through why.

Hi there 🙂 We’re Marc & Allys, a couple of left the UK in search of somewhere we could build a homestead, live more self sufficiently, off the grid and connect with nature. This led us to the beautiful Alentejo region in Portugal.

Follow us on our journey as we learn to live more self sufficiently and acquire new skills!

  1. Hi Mark. I would like to recommend that you get rid of the tall plants near the vegetable garden and behind the compost corner. It is a very strong plant, which spreads underground and conquers areas. It is very difficult to exterminate it manually by uprooting, but it is also resistant to most chemical substances. It is a very common plant in the Mediterranean region and we also suffer from it a lot here. It is very advisable not to use it in compost because every part of the stem produces new branches of growth. The best burn it to produce bio-char.
    the Scientific name: Phragmites australis

  2. If you want/have to protect your solar panels from heavy winds you can build another surface from the top edge of the panels with opposite slope, so it basicly becomes a whole roof. So the wind cannot come under the panel. Only mention this cause I ve heard other channels gettin big damage on their solar systems…the material can be anything …
