The work in-progress at this rental unit shall be left in place when I leave as food, medicine, and beauty for future tenants who appreciate such things, or wildlife habitat to those not privy or interested.
When signing the original (2013) lease at my current rental house, I made it clear I intended to grow my own food and the landlord let me cut 9.25' x 11.75' garden from a dead and dying section of grass in the Southwest corner of the yard. This began with a few tomato and pepper plants stuck in bare, tilled soil (how a farmer would do it, of course!), with external fertilization input and pest control products every step of the way, all organic (of course!). I now know this to all have been destructive and counter-productive unless my goal is to work harder for less yield. I'm a quick study though, and site observations coupled with permaculture made too much sense, so within two years, I've managed to make continuous adjustments and locally-sourced additions, as well as drastically reducing wastes exiting the site. The resulting production will continue long after I am gone.
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.

PRI TeacherWith 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. |
