Other than cutting some tree roots and the original dig being a real PITA, why not bury my rain barrels?

Benefits: No need to cut downspouts More visually attractive Prevents light from getting in

Drawbacks: No gravity fed options to empty( I use a stick pump anyway) Sucks to dig a big hole Possible risk to foundation settling?!??

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture

Do you guys agree or not to this?

Is this a red herring fallacy to even question this as scientific or not? Much akin to asking whether KonMari/minimalism as a design choice is unscientific?

Or are there actual common concepts/practices within it, being promoted as "scientific" when it hasn't been thoroughly backed by peer-reviewed-research. Such as Guilds and Zonings etc.

Edit: Here's the section criticising the methodology:

As the title says, I think most of us use thick layers of wood chips to promote soil health.

When it comes time to sow seeds, how are you guys doing this? I only see people planting established plants into an area they pulled back some wood chips.

All I can think of is pull back wood chips to make a "trench" that exposes soil. Maybe place some finished compost in the trench to hold back the chips, then sow seeds into compost? I don't really like this method because I don't necessarily always want rows. For example, I want to scatter my lettuce mix seeds across the surface of the soil for a dense planting.

Any tips, tricks or advice appreciated.

Disclaimer: This post contains nothing new for anyone who has ever kept rabbits - but if you haven't, it might really be worth a try. We were surprised by how easy it is to raise rabbits as a source of animal protein and manure.

Two months ago, u/Appropriate_Cut_3536 made a post here, detailing his experiments with meat rabbits kept in a more "natural" setting, and a lot of what they said resonated with our own efforts - although we don't have meat rabbits but a random breed of "common rabbits" that we found at the local market by chance.

Our setup is a lot less professional, but as our experience shows it's still well worth the effort, especially for smaller projects.

We do small-scale, low-input, low-effort tropical permaculture in Southeast Asia, and just started keeping rabbits about a year ago - the following blog post contains our experiences so far (tl;dr at the end).

(Labeled "self-promotion" because it's from my own blog)

As usual lately, i was looking for new lesser known and exotic fruit to buy and burn a few holes in my wallet with.

I came across so many amazing fruits, yesterday i had Lucuma Sapote for the first time after wanting to try it for years. It being so hard to find and afford lmao, living in west europe, felt heavenly.

I also was able to get my hands on Atemoya, Sugarcane, Cherimoya, Longkong (similar to Longan, Langsat,rambutan, lychee), Mamey Sapote, Sapodilla, Carambola, Cactus figs, Curuba Passionfruit, and red Salak (unfortunately the salak and cactus figs came expired, very bad smell w the salak, like fermented fruity yeast ass, and the cactus fruit is mush like overripe peach) I’m still very happy for getting my hands on them though.

Ok back to the main topic though, sorry, after searching for my next target today, i found Pawpaw trees for sale online, but not the fruits.

What seemed phenotypically like a type of mango, is actually more similar to a banana. described as sweet, akin banana, mango and pineapple, fruit from 200gr/7oz/0.45 pounds to 500g/17.6oz/1.1 pounds. Native to the Americas, mainly US and Canada, i also saw some sites saying it is native to Australia?

Anyhow, tldr: wondering if any of you have tried this fruit before, and or tried growing it, how good it tastes, how hard it is to grow, especially in temperate climates.

Cheers!

So I can get wood chips for free, or at least very cheap via chip drop or local arborists or utility companies. Wood chips turn into good soil over time as long as I either mulch or compost with them or even just... do nothing? And in the meantime they can kill weeds, convert lawn, and I can throw wine cap spores on them which turns the wood chip piles into food while also helping to break them down?

This seems literally too good to be true. Am I missing something?

Hey, so i'm from west algeria and we've been experiencing crazy drought the past 4-5 years. we have around 3000-5000 trees near where i live they were planted way back in "1978" and unfortunately a lot of them are dying.

so i'm trying to save as much as can and i'm thinking too add more diversity to that a little pine forest so if you can suggest me any trees i can plant?

i'm in ZONE 9, the temperature in the summer gets to to 40C (104F) and drops to (-4) (24F) in the winter.

to get a rough idea here's how the area looks like from the satellite view
