Glangwili Farm: Thinking Like A Mountain.
http://glangwili-farm.blogspot.com/2013/07/thinkinglike-mountain.html
Trying to live lightly with permaculture. Wednesday, 10 July 2013. Thinking Like A Mountain. Thinking like a mountain is a term coined by Aldo Leopald, but how are we to understand it? There are many interpretations of thinking like a mountain. The question is: Would it make any difference to the way we behave if we did not escape the long term consequences of our actions? If by some means or another we had to live with them indefinitely. This is the question that lead me to write 'Atlantis Eternal'.

Glangwili Farm: November 2009
http://glangwili-farm.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Trying to live lightly with permaculture. Thursday, 5 November 2009. Well I just looked at my last post (sound of bugle in background! And another three months have gone by. Amazing! So to recap, the Cherry-Plum jam is gorgeous and sadly nearly all gone already, hopefully we can make more next year. The bottling didn't happen, but we've frozen loads instead and they make really good crumbles. It also means that I don't waste compost on ground that isn't growing crops, but that is another story. See it on...

Glangwili Farm: September 2011
http://glangwili-farm.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Trying to live lightly with permaculture. Sunday, 18 September 2011. Heavy rain here in Wales today. I have to say that I'm not that sorry, we've had a dry year even if it's not been that warm a summer. More to the point I'm feeling a bit smug having completed the outdoor jobs that needed to be done before it started. Our new 'slug clearance squad' (AKA the ducks) are enjoying it as well. The wasps made the whole process more exciting than usual! This is a sure sign that I'm doing my pressing earlier tha...

Glangwili Farm: August 2012
http://glangwili-farm.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Trying to live lightly with permaculture. Monday, 20 August 2012. Pink Fir Apple potatoes from a new raised bed. As seen in this picture they tend to be long and thin rather than the more usual potato shape of round - oval. What interested me is how productive this bed has proved to be. No compost was added, just the odds and ends I mentioned above. Furthermore it's produced a very good loamy soil, nicely opened up by digging the potatoes. Tuesday, 14 August 2012. How to assemble a Barn Cloche. This imag...

It so often happens that February brings a false spring, the birds, the trees and I all feel it. Those days that make you sweat with the burden of winter clothing, tempting you to discard the extra pair of socks and sow the seeds of tender plants, when in your heart you know it's too soon for either. Well it's happened again! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Trying to live lightly with permaculture. Wednesday, 29 July 2009. Another wet summer, but look on the bright side. Well I bet you thought that was the last you would hear from me. Another one post wonder! True I've not been blogging for a while, but other things have demanded my attention. In fact I cannot believe where this year has gone! However I'm not going to moan and groan, lets look on the bright side. Lets have a bit of history. So where is this leading? These are also called Cherry-Plum. If thi...

Glangwili Farm: February 2009
http://glangwili-farm.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Trying to live lightly with permaculture. Saturday, 28 February 2009. Raised beds and Chicken Tractors. The soil condition is fantastic, but it has taken about three years to come to that state. Interestingly that was the time which Rosa Dalziel O'Brian, who wrote 'Intensive Gardening' about 50 years ago, said it would take and she insisted that you should not walk on the land! So why was I thinking about soil compaction and no dig? You may well ask how I reconcile all this talk of not walking on the lan...

Trying to live lightly with permaculture. Monday, 23 July 2012. In praise of the wild corners. Once again I return after such a long break. You may notice the change to the tag line in the title, 'Organic' has disappeared. That is because we have let our organic certification lapse. However that does not mean we are doing anything different, it just saves time and money! Meadowsweet - A native perennial. So on to the subject matter. In praise of the wild corners. Mint - an escapee gone feral. The Meadows...
