    Hey permies. I am sure you enyoyed your harvest to the fullest.

    Critic: some harvest data has a point “.” in between, some a comma “,”.

    That’s pretty confusing, due to different systems. In germany that would mean you harvested 20kg of cabbage and 35 tons of cauliflower. Correct?

    I don’t understand the first line either

    “Vegetable production from the month of 12-7”

    I could guess, but it’s easier if you explain.

    Best wishes

    Mika

    Great harvest.

    Do you have an average monthly or yearly water use by the whole property?

    Is it mostly watered by bore water? I imagine yearly rainwater would not be adequate to support public water supplies in that area?

    I understand you recycle water from house use.

      Hi Simon, we have a very small amount of rainwater fall to the farm, this water directed to our water harvest system and used by our system, we do use town water mostly in summertime as this the hardest time for us to keep in top of the living system and save it from drying from heat.

        I live in Australia and in our area, we also have very limited rainfall in summer. No chance our veggie garden would survive without irrigation either. We have found a big improvement using some of the methods we have seen you using at greening the desert and have been especially happy with our wicking bed.
        I was interested to see how the efficiencies of the greening the desert system compared to conventional methods of food growing in regards to water usage.
        I feel this would be worthwhile data to obtain at some point as it would provide great support in favor of the methods in greening the desert.
