Welcome to the protocols page, here you’ll find information about various farm setup procedures.
The protocols outline a blueprint for achieving a specific goal, for example, yearly food forest maintenance, soil improvement works prior to planting a food forest, bare-field to garden transformation, establishing a permaculture orchard from scratch …
Each protocol maps out a set of specific tasks you need to do, the order in which you need to do them, and the ideal timing to aim for.
