God bless you all and mahalo for your love and advice!
I Am quite serious about minimal impact having been raised on farm. I have found a lot up at 2000 feet that has a very small driveway and housepad area already ripped. I Praise Jesus for you all sharing your insights and experiences!
So it is nice to NOT have to do any ripping other than what has been done. I Am most interested in all phases of obtaining and application of material for finishing off the driveway and housepad. Also to fill in any spots that exhibit puddling, if any exist. To "finish" over the ripped lava rock it has been suggested to use #8 cinder base as something lightweight, durable, and easy to work with.
Not as many skeeters at this elevation either. though I have holistic methods for dealing with all manner of pests, plant and animal.
I have seen the "mulching machine tractor" in action. It devours entire trees very quickly! It is very fast and efficient and of course leaves behind "gardeners gold" as in MULCH! I have also spoken to one individual and company that has one. I may use such to go around perimeter of property, however I really want to leave as much natural habitat in place as possible.
I will augment food raising with low tech greenhouse methods as required if temperature is n issue. So far daytime temps are in the mid to high 70s so I do not believe it will be much of an issue, however I Am quite prepared to grow most anything required for vegan lifestyle... I may even augment with free range chicken if I find someone who will butcher them in return for us sharing the meat.
I may also have a modest fishpond installed or do above ground fish tank. I've raised food sized fish like this on mainland and never even fed the fish! God provides!
What are your EXPERIENCES on this topic?
God bless and be well!
