Getting excited for growing season! :) gotta plan the coop revamp. Got 6 new chicks. Right now they are in the house with a brooder red lamp y todo being little beasts. The fence collapsed with the wind lately. We have no water filter. It broke...its time was probably up anyway. The gard n gro we bought is supposed to only last 6 months, so one year. We would like to get other filters but need to raise $240.
The filters are an absolute must. The heavily cholornated and flouride content of city water kills microbial life in the soil. This does not allow for permaculture and biointensive growing methods to take place.
How do we conserve water? We live in a desert. Water is scarce by any stretch of the imagination.
Nature knows what's its doing here though, and many plants do grow and with an incredible long extended season which can be sustained even futher with high tunnels and cold frames.
The soil here mostly consists of sand and thick clay or kalichè.
Sand loses water of course, clay water logs nutrients and water.
There is a way to work around these and use them to your advantage.
