About two acres with a mix of a small leaf forest, a small lake, a sloop with our house between a small field at the top and the small lake at the bottom, and a small pond next to the house. The house is small as well...

Permaculture Tools website is up and running.   Come and have a look at what you can pick up. Can't find it make a suggestion or we can custom make to your design.

A winter musing: There are 2 perfectly normal permaculture practices that I am having trouble getting my head around.  It will be fun to see if I eventually come around to doing things the normal permaculture way! First- sheet mulching.  I stubbornly don't want to do it, because I'm worried abo...

Wicking Seed Starter Success Further Research Over the course of a week, I did research on other wicking methods for seed propagation and found this site. The wicking seed starter used a floating raft that would act as a table for the seed starts. On top of the table, a capillary mat is placed ...

Student project in urban design on  KTH architecture year 3 autumn 2012  

Our own nurseries help us propagate and develop our land here in the Peruvian Amazon. They are simple structures made of rainforest palm fronds, already felled trees and bark. When you support nature in the smallest ways, it pays you back in the beauty it spreads. http://www.facebook.com/photo.p...

Small 1/4 acre residence, permaculture experiment plot, working towards regeneration, balance, and food production. Growing produce for residence, animals, and extra to others.

There has been some push back about me operating a “permaculture institute” when I have not completed a Permaculture Design Course. My intent was to have teachers with certificates teach at the institute but that has not yet happened. My sense of the general understanding within the perm...

Highly productive Urban Farm on 1 ac lot

Here we are transporting some baby plants on our permaculture and agroforestry farm in the Peruvian Amazon. We have to carry all of our plantings by hand rather than wheelbarrow because the soil is saturated by the frequent rainfalls of our region. Given the efforts it takes to cultivate the land...

Modified the previously approved council plan, which was an ill conceived straight route that would have required increased earthworks in favour of a slightly longer (more work) twisting climb that follows the natural contours up the hill to pending ground Zero After earthworks the side cut will...

Blockhill is a small household scale food forest and organic garden with integrated water catchment and distribution. We are working with nature to rehabilitate this land while developing an enjoyable habitat that supports and nourishes us and the other inhabitants, occupants and participants. W...
