Brief:
The main idea of this garden is to flow and work with nature. As a starting framework I am using the ideas of agroforestry to shape the garden. Well use of light with a tree layer, a bush layer and a herb layer. The garden itself should produce its own nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Should take 50% of the water it needs from the air and the rain. 8 chickens should be part of the garden giving us eggs and controlling insects, also their poop will be a great nitrogen source.
This garden also wants to integrate to the local surrounding, trying to give a home to native plants that their numbers have being reduce in the world. And also trying to find a new value in agroforestry for this natives trees.
