We intend to leave five of our ten acres completely in wilderness forest.  One thing that struck me about the Oak and Hickory forest is that, for ever acre of second growth you have there will be .8 cords of limbs and branches that fall each year.  This windfall is surplus energy and can be utili...

This week was an incredible learning experience with an incredibly knowledgeable and motivating teacher, Rosemary Morrow. Not only did it provide a structure for how to teach the 72hr PDC curriculum, but also gave a great insight into a wide range of both teaching and learning styles, working...

Ankara (Türkiye) based permaculture enthusiasts started gathering, meeting and organising activites!

While digging the plant holes for the plantings in (hopefully) the first week of march, I noticed that I didn't consider water harvesting principles and methods enough.

Whenever I have come across references to zoning in relation to honeybees, it is invariably used to decide where hives should be placed. As a beekeeper and a Permaculturalist, it is also a handy tool to help to decide where to plant different bee forage crops. Sitting here on a wet, cold, Englis...

Fra avisdebatten ang. vindkraftsaken på Totenåsen ser jeg Åsens Venner har blitt anklaget særlig for tre forhold: 1)      De baserer seg på ”følerier” og ”naturromantikk”, og ikke fakta. 2)      De er gjennomsyret av gruppetenkning og flokkmentalitet, der saklighet ikke slipper til....
