John Tero's Georgia Consultation: Trees & STUN Garden (Pt. 2)
By paul@richsoil.com (paul wheaton)
TL;DR: Consultation on a 1.8-acre Georgian property covers tree planting, STUN gardening, and wetland creation for a diverse and resilient ecosystem.
- Diversify tree plantings beyond state-obligated peaches.
- Implement STUN gardening for low-maintenance food production.
- Consider small wetlands for biodiversity and water management.
- Design for resilience and ecosystem services on a modest scale.
Why it matters: This consultation demonstrates practical permaculture application on a suburban property, offering tangible strategies for increasing biodiversity and productivity.
Do this next: Assess your own property for overlooked spaces suitable for STUN gardening or small water features.
Recommended for: Homeowners, aspiring permaculturists, and those seeking to enhance biodiversity and productivity on their land, especially in suburban areas.
Paul continues with John’s consultation on his 1.8 acre Georgian property, this time discussing which trees to plant, including peach because that’s obligatory for the state, Sheer, Total, Utter Neglect (STUN) gardening, and maybe even creating a small wetland.
