create a permaculture garden

as I can’t even manage to keep it tidy at the moment, thank goodness for fathers, my Dad has been looking after it for now but I just don’t have the time for now. 8 months ago

planting seeds…

I was able to see what someone else was doing and met some very nice and interesting people who are all building their own garden using the permaculture principles. I got a few ideas and will continue to go to their meetings so I can learn a bit more. 2 years ago

and I think this way of gardening might be the way for me to go. Now I just have to figure out where to start! 2 years ago

We can go for a time without money but we wouldn’t make the afternoon without food. With the creative economy it seems wise to relearn how to become as self sufficient as we can and build a reality that requires little or less actual currency. Money is after all paper with green ink. Where is the logic in that. 4 years ago

Would love to follow Masanobu Fukuoka’s Natural Gardening, which pretty much is sprinkling seed balls and letting nature take its course, but I will have to wait till I am out of college or somthing because in college I probably can’t have any land and now my mom would kill me if I did that.

But I am planning on starting a natural garden. 4 years ago

As Spring approaches, and I’m preparing my backyard garden, I want to incorporate more permaculture design principles to eliminate waste, but also to have less work to do in the long run! 5 years ago

Ok – we have 2.5 acres to work with and I see the progression as:

1. Education (how, why, when, who, what)
2. Create Zone 1 – the vegie garden
3. Create Zone 2 – the wetlands and chook pen
4. Create Zone 3 – fruit and nut trees

At least thats the starting plan! 5 years ago

so i’ve ordered a bunch of plants, made a design with me mum, and once they are delivered in March, I’ll come home and plant them and then, boom – permaculture forest garden on the south side of my parent’s house, :1 5 years ago

There’s alot of myths and worldviews that say that humans are made of mud… one of them is this idea called “evolution” that says that all life as we know it emerged out of the earth. It’s a pretty fancy idea, life having its source in the earth; but an idea is just something between your ears. Experience… now that’s something else. I have never had such a life-affirming, transforming experience as cultivating a permaculture garden… to have the opportunity to participate in the processes that sustain life as we know it on such a basic level is truly a blessing. Sharing that experience with others, even more so. If you have any curiosity whatsoever about permaculture, PLEASE contact me; I want as many people as possible to share this amazing experience! 6 years ago
