23. Patch Design- Each member takes on one detailed aspect of the design, which they will research and present (housing, earthworks, species list, establishment and succession of systems etc.)
Species Master List Deliverables:
24. Species Master List- This is a list of all the plant species that you plan to use in your design. Your habitat-defining species from the schematic phase will help you determine which plants are compatible with each of those habitats.
Species Master List Guidance:
From the list you generated before fill in the gaps with all of the support species that you are using now in guilds and hedgerows. Don’t fuss with annual garden species unless it is a major part of your design. The patch designs will help to generate this list.
25. Phases of implementation- (1 – 2 years, 3 – 5 years, 6 – 10 years, 10 – 25 year plan)

PHASES OF IMPLEMENTATION
1 - 2 Years: Laying the Foundations & Begin Planting
- Cement trenching
- Establish Hot Compost
- Establish Vermi-Compost
- Laying underground pipes for water diversion
- Digging trenches, pond, rain garden
- Construction of water catchment systems
- Construction of kitchen grey water system
- Soil Prep--cover crop, mulching
- keyhole
- berry/grapevine
- kiwi wall
- front space
- herb areas
- annual/perennial veggies in raised beds
- Construct shed and place to NE corner
- Run wires for kiwi wall and grapevines
- Planting
Fruit trees
Fruiting vines
Perennial front garden--strawberries, perennials
Biomass--comfrey, jerusalem artichokes
- Annual planting for time stacking
under fruit and nut trees
under fruiting vines
- Creating Social space stonework and trellis
- Enjoyment
3 - 5 Years: Establishing
- Plant Front Lot
- Keyhole Garden Establishment, Planting
- Training Trees, Berry Bushes
- Establishing Pond
- Building Chicken Habitat
- Plant Water Plants
- Maggot biopod
- Chickens (<6)
- Phase to Perennial plantings under fruit & nut trees
- Enjoyment
6 + Years: Maintenance
- Continuing Compost
- Annual replantings in Keyholes as desired
- Harvesting
- Enjoyment
26. Evaluation Plan-
Evaluation Plan
Quarterly check-ins with Phases Plan to note the progress
Re-evaluate goals as needed
Water:
-Are the water catchments supplying enough water to the plants in the summer?
-Are the water systems effectively dispersing the water?
Yield:
-Are the guilds we set up staying alive without excess maintenance?
-Are we obtaining a yield that provides the family 33% of their food?
Time working:
-Do the systems work with =<10 hours a week to maintain this (once it’s set up)?
Enjoyment:
-Is the family enjoying their space and food? Are they smiling?
