Four years into abundance!

Project: Chaitraban

Posted by Jyoti Deshpande over 8 years ago

It's been a wonderful four years and things are moving fast at Chaitraban! Almost all elements are in place on land and the connections are working beautifully!

Chaitraban boasts about permaculture techniques tweaked to serve our purpose. The chickens are hard at work on the compost integrated systems (with goats), they are also acting as pest control in the developing food forest (they are going crazy happily laying eggs too!) ducks are providing us with manured water for irrigating the banana circles, the sheet mulched beds are growing fresh greens, the main crop beds on contour are great to grow our staples...still a lot to do and while we learn from our mistakes, we feel blessed when we see our children (and also some friends!) tuck in at the fresh food on the dining table everyday!

The new projects for this year are - putting in systems for smooth operations on the farm (learnt from Tom Kendall and Zaia - thank you!), collecting heirloom seeds and propagating them to have more resilient crops over the years and to preserve and share seeds in a couple of years...

We will let the pictures do the talking!

Laos wlacc : As for me, to play, you need to choose only a time-tested site that many people trust. And recently I found such a site in the united kingdom - MrQ Cаsino and I really liked this site, because it has a large number of high-quality slot machines that you can play freely and with anosoloda in the united kingdom!

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
