Bruce Beernink's Permaculture Pages

Here are some pictures of the terraces I have almost finished. The trenches are sloping gently away from the spring, they carry rainwater to the drier part of the slope and the future spring fed swimming pool. The overflow then returns to the pond. The yellow flags are where the fruit trees will go.

 

Here are some different angles. The bench wall we built last week. I moved 2 tons of rock out of the 6 it took for this wall. The cracks will be planted with native plants this week and citrus will be planted above the bench.

 

Here is a picture of the mist house. It was first set up to recieve and automatically water new plants.

 

This is the 50 yr. old cistern or spring hole.

This is the secondary spring bore, water at a foot and a half.
