Geoff Lawton’s Next Video – Permaculture in Micro Spaces

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

One common trap that I see play out over and over and over again with people new to permaculture is what I call an monocular view.   Or a one dimensional view.  They see a desert project and so permacultureis for deserts, or they see a project in the tropics and feel it is only for where bananas can be grown. In the case of Geoff’s recent videos two views like this came to a head from this audience, they seem to be. 1.  Permaculture and Geoff’s designs are only for large properties 2.  All permaculture designs are based on large swales … Continue reading →
