Compost and garden bed top off question ❓
Hi everyone, I’m going to get it delivery of compost and before I top off the garden beds I am wondering if I should put a layer of cardboard on top of the weeds. Or would the compost itself be sufficient to smother out what is growing right now?

Easy living fence ideas
Hi, I’m working with a warm-summer Mediterranean (Csb) climate, USDA zone 9b, with hot dry summers and mild wet winters. We get around 1,200 mm of rainfall annually, mostly concentrated in winter. I’m aiming for a low-maintenance, resilient living fence!
Here’s one idea, blackberries grow wild here, I could just set poles with a trelis and just let the thorny blackberries go crazy! I could grow it at least 2 meters high, and 2 or 3 meters width.
In my imagination it’s basically a fence made of nature’s barbed wire and it will get me awesome blackberries to eat as a bonus, and I believe the maintainance to be minimal, it looks like a win win win situation…
However, my experience is minimal, and my ignorance soars through the skies! Hence, me being here, hoping to drink from your experiences and knowledge.
Is this a good idea, why/why not?
Any other ideas are more than welcome.
Thank you so much in advance for the input and help!

New plant molecule encourages plant-fungi symbiosis to improve crops
Scientists use small peptides to enhance symbiosis between plants and fungi, offering a sustainable alternative to artificial fertilizers. Plant biologists discover new plant molecule, CLE16, as well as a fungal CLE16 mimic, that encourage the beneficial symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi. CLE16 supplementation in crop fields could help reduce harmful chemical fertilizer use by replacing it with sustainable, long-lasting symbiotic plant-fungus relationships for important crops like soy, corn, and wheat.

As Permies, are we too soft in regards to crimes against nature?
I feel like there’s not a single day where humans leave nature alone. If it’s not burning or cutting down forests, it’s hunting and trafficking wildlife, polluting water and air, or consuming excessive resources without taking into consideration other forms of life.
Although individual efforts are great and there are some amazing projects around the world, I believe there should be an organized front which has shared economic, physical and intellectual resources to efficiently protect and restore nature.
What are your thoughts on this? Am I crazy or does the world actually need a permaculture alliance/resistance?
