Por esta altura as coisas não me corriam bem. Eram demasiados indícios a dizerem-me que ainda não era o momento para me estabelecer no Terreiro das Bruxas. Já com esse sentimento assente, aceitei abrir os cordões à bolsa para melhorar as condições gerais do terreno para que um dia mais tarde regressasse.
O caminho antigo só era possível para um todo o terreno e o antigo dono já me tinha sugerido um caminho novo. O esforço do transporte daquela distância não era agradável e o meu pai também insistia nessa melhoria.
Construção
O meu vizinho sugeriu-me um tal Zé Carlos. Um artista das máquinas de trabalhos terrestres. Custou-me ver uma área com giestas adultas e alguns carvalhos pequenos a serem varridos. Mas tenho de pensar que é por uma causa maior. Algo que também me custou foi ver o senhor a mandar constantemente as beatas para o chão. Aquele sentimento de encher por dentro só descansou quando lhe ofereci um recipiente pedindo-lhe que lá as colocasse.
Resultado
O caminho ficou feito com uma vala ao lado que não ficou a cem por cento por causa de uma rocha. Limpou-me algumas silvas e por sua vontade tinha limpo mais. Descobriu uma pequena nascente e com um brilho nos olhos perguntou-me se podia fazer um mini-lago. Um bónus agradável. Depois de lhe pagar convidou-me para ir beber umas cervejas à associação. Tudo normal.
Melhorias
Com o que sei hoje de permacultura talvez não tivesse feito o caminho direito. Deveria ter plantado árvores nas bermas, apesar de não saber quando regressaria. Mas sem dúvida que não há comparação no conforto do transporte do carro-casebre e vice-versa.
Custo
1 dia - 250€
Sucesso
★★★★☆
Things weren't going well for me at this point. There was too much evidence to tell me that it wasn't yet time to settle down in Terreiro das Bruxas. Already with this feeling of acceptance, I agreed to open my wallet to improve the general conditions of the land so that one day later I could return.
The old road was only possible for an off-road and the former owner had already suggested a new way. The effort of transportation from that distance wasn't pleasant, and my father also insisted on this improvement.
Making
My neighbor suggested me some Zé Carlos. An artist of earth works machines. It was hard to see an area with adult genisteaes and a few small oaks to be swept away. But I have to think it's for a greater cause. Something that was also hard was to see him constantly throwing the cigarette butts to the ground. That feeling of filling inside only rested when I offered him a container asking him to put them there.
Result
The path was made with a ditch beside it that isn't one hundred percent because of a rock. He cleared some brambles and by his will he had cleaned more. He spotted a small spring and with a twinkle in his eyes he asked me if he could make a mini-pond. A nice bonus. After paying him, he invited me to have a few beers. Everything normal.
Improvements
With what I know about permaculture nowdays I wouldn't have made the road straight. I should have planted trees on the sides, though I didn't know when I would come back. But surely there isn't comparison in the comfort of car-haul transport and vice versa.
