Savanna grassland

I have done my fair share of observing the land and I'm still grappling with what to grow.

If I were to follow my own common sense - I would focus on natural flora and fauna that thrive under the local conditions. But there is this urge I'm still yet to sufficiently describe to my own heart, and do the normal fighting method and fight nature and put in tonnes and tonnes of effort - forever.

African potatoes do very well in our soil and are natives to the area. I should make a note to take a pic of it to insert here later.

And I harbour ambitions of identifying all the grasses on the land and achieving I'm awesome at cataloging shit status.

But for that to happen I should find a means by which to do this. Make time and money to get this all important knowledge written down for prosperity.

The internal battle I'm wagging about which course to take when it comes to method and items to be farmed is complicated for the following reasons.
- we need to make money. ie. Profitable. And my preference is to make it ridiculously so.
- all examples I have seen thus farm if organic farms have not lent themselves well to profit.
-I suppose my plan to turn it into the ultimate training centre will mitigate that risk considerably.
- a lot if the people I've decided to take along for this ride - mom, dad, Linah and Grant are not convinced of the wisdom in doing things the permaculture way. But I normally get my way. I just wish there was less resistance.
- financing all my whims is an expensive proposition and since I'm very inexperienced I'm bound to make mistakes. But if I give in to my fear of failure - I will never get anywhere.
