Permaculture at Kraut Run

Project Type

Rural, Commercial

Project Summary

Water catchment and Hugelkulture design and implementation at a beyond, non certified, organic farm.

Project Description

We have a Meetup.com group in Saint Louis and I've ran across a great farm, with a couple great guys running it. They are totally open to and interested in implementing some permaculture systems on their farm.

So, Here are some details:
I'd been hearing about The farm at Kraut Run off and on this year from a couple of friends. So, I called Chris a while back to chat and found that he is doing a ton of stuff right in line with permaculture design(no till, most everything is done by hand), but he mentioned a couple of the problems points that are going on with the farm. The big one is Water flow.
The farm is situated between some hills including a creek at the valley bottom. There are gardens on both sides of the creek, Both are affected by runoff from the hills during heavy downpours.
Ponds, Swales, and Huglekultur are some systems that we will be looking at for the farm at Kraut Run.

The main goal for this project is to get people thinking about water catchment, Possible ways to implement it and how it can help out the future.
The secondary goal is to implement some water catchment on a natural farm to supplement, or eliminate, their current irrigation.

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.
