Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 2:04:35 — 28.5MB)
Today we continue what is going to be at least a 5 part series on the design science of Permaculture. These will be both done as audio podcasts and in live feeds with support from power point slides. This series will serve long term as what will amount to a free introductory course on Permaculture. If you have not listened to part one, you may want to listen to it for a basic understanding of the science of permaculture, especially if the topic itself is new to you.
Today we expand on Part One and discuss sectors of design and basic earthworks. We also discuss property evaluation though the permaculture lens of “water, access, structure”.
I also expand on the prior episodes design principles with 6 more design principles and how they should influence your choices with design.
Join Me Today to Discuss…
