Permaculture Paradise

 How to build a permaculture paradise?

At first you have to condition the soil to plant cover crop seeds. This type of crops are going to add nitrogen to the soil and make it more fertile. Then this crops are going to grow and you will see nodules of Rhizobium bacteria on their roots. In that moment you'll have to chop and drop those plants to introduce the nitrogen to the soil for the fruit tree crops and other crops you'll want to cultivate... 

Remember, it's very important the diversity of plants on permaculture, so you have to cultivate mixture of trees and vegetables, and put them a bamboo stick to recognize what kind of crop is.

Finally, the soil will getting richer with organic matter and then in 1 year or 2 you are going to have total control of the soil and in 6 years you'll have a stable system with production that maintenance on their own... 

This type of system is very ecological and friendly with nature, so I think it's a very good option for us. Also, I think it's very possible to use this system in Chile, because it's a food producer country!!

I think the headaches started because I couldn't believe that I would be ALL THE QUARANTINE with my noisy family all day and all the week! 😂 I had to admit that if it hadn't been for Javiera, my neighbor, it wouldn't be so easy. Her family always protected themselves like as well us, so we got together every week.

Two months later my sister came to live with my family and it has been very difficult to us because our apartment is for 4 people and with her we are 5! So my brother is sharing his bedroom with her and none of them feel comfortable. I hope we can move to another house soon... 😩

English classes
