dont ask just do it
my little forest is heading for a bit over 10 acres, if i include the "groves" in random places, i have rather special maths skills but basics baffle me
would ten acres be about 2% of what they have managed?
if it is and one silly bloke can do it for no money etc
other inhabitants of the ds village have planted, restored and maintained more acres than me
if a few of us can manage that sort of thing as individuals, there must be reasons for "official" schemes being so incompetent
re the FB folk and their new planting, big pockets and handbags(maybe a 100 litre bergan centurion for planned collections) and keen eyes for collecting whatever, wherever and whenever you can to give diversity and genetic resilience.
boots on soil with a poking thing is a good way to know more about what might colonize each bit and if that bit needs nanny plants to give nurture to the next stage
what works might be surprising, diversity can be reinforced once you find out what is alive after the first decade or so
if you can get them to ask/show and tell, i am happy to answer about how this one has progressed and what might work for their patch
might work is better than might not work if they plan on doing it properly
it took me 2 decades to start to work out how to do it, maybe i can save them a bit of time after another 3 more
i recon it is similar to "rewilding" but at least a thousand times faster and it is likely to be more diverse and resilient than what grows from "legacy" flora alone
legacy flora was a survivor, so far, in a nearby place which might be quite different to the new place to be wooded and to future conditions |
