The laborious path to my hammock: a superb broncier in the Sarthe

[Moindreffor]

yes already maintain a corner around the shed, the time to restore it, to make a place of life acceptable, you'll see, we get caught up in the game of contemplation
a chair, a little shade, your favorite drink placed on a small table, calm and at the end of 5 min you share in your daydreams and it's your head quickly, so enjoy the max, for the job will always be good enough for the days that follow, put off until tomorrow what you can do the same day it's also that live
enjoy the moment, it's a very big luxury, maybe the biggest, you'll see after making a big pile of brush, you look at yourself, and you'll see life differently, especially do not you do not put pressure

a rope and an old tire will make the most fantastic swings for your children, a few branches in a tree a beautiful cabin, and everything is like that for the one who agrees to let go

So, do not worry too much about what you have or want to plant, prepare your little corner of life, and you will see over time it will quickly turn into a kitchen garden, where you put life, this one is develops, nature will give you what she wants, try to take him more is to take the risk of being disappointed

Even if the photos are clearer, I do not understand.

On the aerial photo we see a large open space ...

Would it be the one that is now covered by the broncier?

you have perfectly understood: nature hates emptiness!

The salesman told me that he had not set foot on the ground since the summer before (photo taken end of August), he had arrived a little before me to clear about 100 m² simply with his lawnmower ( and obviously a few liters of elbow grease).

Ok I get better all this is so young.

It should be a little easier to transfer than if the vegetation was installed since 10 years.

As said before brambles IF THEY PRODUCE I would look at 2 times when removing them.

Or I would do an organized vacuum because it also makes a hedge close to the crops cheaply

Moreover nothing is worth the experience and with nature time is counted in months and years.

So personal I would start anything season that you like to eat: cabbage, lambs, turnips and what do I know that can grow in your corner (even inquire with local gardeners)

Sometimes we walk we see someone in his garden and hop you type the discussion: it is rare that people refuse to share and sometimes it ends with a garden tour or even an aperitif.

Casually nothing on this culture you will store a year of experience (good or bad).

What do you have to lose?

I like brambles, but in a garden it is quickly very invasive, because of their exuberant nature! So, I would hesitate to make a hedge, knowing that it's a lot of work to control it ...

Hello,

beautiful project! and I suppose you will not be able to follow up on a daily basis, that you will be on the spot episodically ...
While agreeing with most of the previous remarks, I would say the following:
1) - sit comfortably on the spot, clean the waste and prepare your deckchair / hammock
2) get yourself this book (I'm reading it): "The Forest-Garden" by Martin Crawford: https://librairie-permaculturelle.fr/ja ... wford.html to think your landscaping, fruit trees, small fruit
3) for the garden in the brambles, cut them to the ground, and unrolls a bale of hay on it with a great thickness. There will be regrowth, but nothing unmanageable and it will allow you to start quietly to transplant plants or install bulbs.
4) don't see too big of a sudden for this vegetable patch, I made this mistake the second year, as a result I ran out of hay and my planks were not thick enough -> overflowed -> deception

I wish you a lot of pleasure in your new garden

thank you, I was just a few days in these questions there, I watched a lot of videos, but I did not have the curiosity to look for books ...

That's what I said it's a choice ...

Because if they give good and big blackberries my faith it is discussed.

And as said above it can also be controlled ...

We had a lot in the Vaucluse as weird as it may seem, honestly it is managed.

Not much progress, the SAFER is working ...

We passed on the ground that was cleared by the seller, the car wreck left and the broncier .... also :-)

Next action ... 2019

[Adrien (ex-nico239)]

Cool to give news.

We feel that the project is important to you.

But take away from me a doubt the Safer is busy, that would imply that a preemption would be possible?

It's a word game a bit easy. The SAFER must actually decide whether it is agricultural land, but I am rather calm about a hypothetical pre-emption. (Answer mid November)

That's it, yesterday was the big day

despite the rain, we took the time to go around the owner and get to know the inhabitants of the land

and hello to the neighbors

For the rest: a big boost in anticipation to rehabilitate the shed and we will attack the vegetable garden "quietly" next spring.
