Do you remember the video of the wild blackberry forest we were cleaning to start up a new vegetable natural farming garden last spring? We dug a small pond to catch the water from the broken spring, to be able to water the garden beds and tested it out for a few months to see if it was manageable to grow vegetables in this area.
Although the blackberries did come back, we definitely saw an immense improvement, so this year we are cleaning up the other half of the garden and making the pond bigger, so we can use it properly.
