Permaculture FAIL: What I Learned and My NEW EXPERIMENTS Moving Forward

In this Permaculture FAIL, I share what I learned and what I did after planting a hugelmound in a poor location. This mistake cost me only time and effort to repair, but it proved to be a valuable learning experience in my effort to improve food production in my organic homestead garden!
If you're thinking of developing a Hugel mound in your garden, be sure to check out this video first! It may assist you in following the right permaculture principles and avoid making the same permaculture design mistake that I made!

We can all learn from each other, but also from our own mistakes. Taking a positive approach, even though it might be more work, is worth the outcome. Good or Bad, convenient or not, life is always teaching us something new.
Thank you for sharing.

100% agree with this. Thanks for your perspective Laura:)

Love your way of straight talking and right to the point you are making.

Thanks man. Appreciate it. I'm nor trying to waste anyone's time. 👊

Great video! I appreciate learning the thought process for each project. Helps to avoid possible future issues.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. That was exactly what I hoped this video would convey. Thanks for watching!

This is so helpful to avoid mistakes I might have otherwise made, thanks so much!!

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

You're so welcome!. Thanks for your feedback! 🙂

So, here' my take on this "problem." You created a natural passive propagation station for the very trees you want to grow elsewhere on your property. The system was working perfectly. The change would be to make that an intentional propagation station in your site plan, and in the fall, after dormancy, move those trees to the places on the rest of your property that you WANT the valley oak to grow. The problem is the solution. Just my opinion.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

That could certainly work and way to think thorough to a solution. I am going to strategically locate acorns to where I would like them to strike root to avoid transplantation. They are not hard to propagate from seed but can be tricky to time and successfully relocate. I have considered building air prune beds but haven't committed to the project so acorn planting it is! Thank for your suggestion 😉

Only bad mistake is the one you don’t learn from.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

For sure!

I was wondering why you didn't make another huglekulture bed. I like the diversity of your redos! What part of the country are you in?

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I considered a redo but I didn't have a place where another bed made good sense at this point. We are in the northern Sacramento Valley of California. Thanks for watching! 🙂

Another great video, thank you!

Thank you Teri!

[@stephenduncanson6154]

Cool video. Have you considered raking up the acorns and trying to use them for something?

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Yes! I intend on doing that next fall by introducing a number of them to specific piles. I have half-heartedly done so in years past but have run into issues with livestock and pests disrupting my plans. I hope to have better success with my new plan.

[@stephenduncanson6154]

@@therealprtrhsenteal I look forward to seeing what process you develop. I am from New England and acorns were a staple of the native diet. They would develop wooded grasslands dotted with oaks by burning. These lands supported big game that has been gone now hundreds of years. Oaks could survive the burns because they have thick bark that can hold moisture, and with the right fire return intervals new saplings can shoot up and join the canopy.

Sell the baby oak trees!!

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Definitely I have considered it! 👌
