Zone And Sector Planning


The way that The Crystal Waters works is that they conserve as much energy as possible. The way that they do this is that they put certain things in certain area. The things that they would be visiting more would be closer to the main center point, which for instance would be a house. Then the sources they would not visit as much would be farther away. For Crystal Waters they break the property in 4 zones. In zone I they had planned it to be closest to the house since it is the most visited and controlled. It usually contains the garden, workshops, greenhouse, small animals, fuels for the main center point, compost, mulch, clotheslines, etc. Anything that will be basically visited or used on a daily basis. Then in Zone II they still use it quite a bit, bit for things that are more dense plantings. Items include larger trees, fruit trees, etc. Zone III is mainly designed for the main crops that contain unpruned and unmulched orchards. As well holds the areas for the cows, sheep, and semi-managed birds. Zone IV is semi-managed since is farthest away from the center point. Usually it is held for gatherings, hardy foods, unprunded trees, and wildlife and forest areas. They do have a Zone V but it is barely managed. It is more used for observing and learning. It is a great place for meditation though. Crystal Waters is broken into separate sectors as well. This means they’re separated depending on if they deal with wild energies, the elements of the sun, light, wind, rainfall, and water flow. An example of this is Max’s potato crop, where he uses the rain as a natural irrigation. The main purpose of the sector is to use certain energies to it greatest capacity naturally.
