I just found a dollar on the sidewalk. If that happens 14,999 more times, what are some ways one could spend that to best improve the land, get equipment, erect a giant chicken statue etc?

Original Title: ⭐ I'm working on a gardening game inspired by permaculture! 🌿🤗 Each plant has dynamic stats (water, soil, neighbourhood) and different ideal states depending on its plant type 🪴 Do you have any other permaculture or garden related ideas I could add to the game? 📜😊

I'm planning out my site and i've been debating on what to do for hedging. I've got a backup option for a hedge that is good for wild birds and fits my needs, but it doesn't provide anything edible. I was hoping to perhaps get something that suits my needs and also provides edible produce.

I've got a dog that likes to escape (but is stopped by basic fencing), planning to get a small amount of poultry, and I live somewhere with a lot of footfall, so I want something that provides some privacy.

The basic requirements would be that it is thorny or grows so densely it doesn't need thorns to keep animals in, and grows to be at least 7 feet tall.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

For context I’m working on a new plot of family land in western Oregon this year. I have implemented a mostly annual garden (75ftx75ft) intermixed and surrounded with perrineals, with a couple large areas being mostly annual plants.

The owners are adamant about tilling the land after the season and are stubborn despite my best efforts and education (I did not know this prior to committing to the land). They offered to burn the land and do their best to avoid my perinneals instead of tilling and want to know what I think. We burnt small sections this year and the plants seem very happy in those areas.

What do yall think about burning to prep the ground for veggie planting ?

I've been attempting to run a permaculture garden on a rural property in Canada for several years now (this is my third season). My property is in a second growth hardwood forest (closed canopy maple/beech) area with minimal history of human disturbance - the area was logged in the mid 19th century but has otherwise been left alone and I'm pretty sure I was the very first human being ever to work the soil here. I didn't want to deforest so I started my garden in a natural clearing that was filled mostly with wild raspberry plants. The clearing is big enough to have full sun in the garden despite closed canopy forest surrounding it.

The ground was full of huge rocks which we removed mechanically before planting. The remaining soil is very workable and seems to drain well. But it also seems incredibly nutrient poor. Almost all plants grow disease free, but very small/stunted. (Although they never seen stressed, per se, just very slow growing). Garlic bulbs that are barely bulbs, zucchinis only produce a handful of fruits a week in mid summer despite having a dozen plants, tomato plants grow tall but have exceptionally poor yield in terms of kg per plant, potato patches have so little yield that I actually harvest less than I planted, etc. I've done cover cropping with hairy vetch, cereals, etc, and always plant with compost. And been pretty good about never leaving the soil bare (always mulching), however it seems the problem is actually getting worse each year with the sizes of garlic bulbs for example getting smaller and smaller per season.

The surrounding ecosystem seems very healthy. Lots of pollinators, trees are big, native understory plants thriving, and lots of fauna including several endangered species that are otherwise quite rare in my region. We harvest maple syrup and forage wild raspberries & native flowers for herbal tea from the property and that has exceptional yield and quality, so the property as a whole seems pretty good.

Anyone have any pointers about what I'm doing wrong? Or even just some stuff to read that would be relevant to my type of climate and biome?
