Not an easy start

Finally, I started to work like a farmer (pretend). Get up at 6 and then work on a small piece of land for 2~4 hours. Study in the afternoon. Working on the land with our own hands is so joyful. It's great that I am lucky to be aware of such joy.

After reviewing some information about the environment around the land owned by my family last week, I decided to have a mandala garden described in Bill Molison's book. With a hoe and a shovel , I have finished a circle garden and the sunken path and measured the position of 6 keyhole path. Hope I can get the whole mandala done next week and start to mulch and to plant.

Use four points at four corners to get the center of the land.

邁向樸門農藝的第一步

上個月在台南上完樸門農藝設計課程之後,便開始替自家的土地設計,趁著腦袋還有一點東西留著,好好磨練一番。

先來個事前計畫好了。
