Customer wants me to spread 18" of wood chip mulch over her entire 1/2 acre yard. Apparently this is permaculture. GOOD IDEA OR GREATEST IDEA?

Beardcrumb posted:Simply put, permaculture is a design approach for sustainable living and gardening, integrating principles from ecology, agriculture, and design. It aims to create harmonious relationships between humans and nature, emphasizing principles like observation, diversity, and minimal waste. Permaculture systems strive to mimic natural ecosystems, promoting resilience, biodiversity, and self-sufficiency. Need to come up with a name for the kooks. Borkiculture or something. I only know a little about permaculture and I even knew she was heading for disaster. Beyond the carbon/nitrogen imbalance, so much raw wood chips fucks with the microorganisms. She had been neglecting her property for at least a year and a half (no mowing, trimming, occasional hand waving at the weeds) in the name of permaculture. Anyway, she had fired her last guy due to " lack of communication". Probably because he told her not to put 18" of chips in her ditch. Over the culvert. Water meter. I am currently fixing all that poo poo. I have many stories about this one.

Real hurthling! posted:Yes. Its a shade garden at the bottom of an airshaft between buildings. When my bulbs' foliage starts to yellow, I cut it to the ground and let the buttercups and native geraniums take over yeeting everything else because gently caress clover and gently caress the bees. By the time those guys are done the melons and/or pumpkins I sowed are about to take over.

A permaculture nutter I'm working for planted a bunch of new creeping phlox on 18" of wood chips. Didn't want to disturb the soil (no till 4evah). So, uh, you gonna water those? Wood chips hold moisture! Two weeks. Dead already.

Discussion Quorum posted:I thought you talked her down to 4 inches. Or did she push them all into a pile to make up 18 inches? Oh, no. The first yard guy did that. She fired him for reasons. I've had to say, "I swear to God it was the other guy" to city workers at least twice. There was a flooding issue, you see.
