Podcast: Play in new window | Download (24.0MB)
Last week I realized that we have not really dived deep into the topic of Permaculture for a while so last Tuesday I did part one of this series. If you have not listened to it 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…
