Powerful online courses focused on sustainable living TAKE COURSE OUR COURSES Permaculture Transform your home into a sustainable, abundant, & efficient property that provides you healthy organic food & clean water. Permaculture Basics Suburban Permaculture VIEW COURSES Compost & Soil Our courses make technical concepts clear, so you can learn how to arrange, prepare, and 7 ADVANTAGES OF PERENNIALS There are several advantages to growing perennials on your site, primarily related to the root systems of the plants. Soil Structure. Because they remain in the soil and grow over successive years, the root systems of perennial plants help to improve the structure of the soil. As they grow and spread out they create channels and spacesthrough
5 REASONS FOR REWILDING There are several reasons why rewilding is an appealing prospect. Biodiversity. Human activity has been incredibly destructive in terms of the biodiversity of the plant. A 2014 report by the World Wildlife Fund detailed how in the last 40 years alone, humans have caused the disappearance of half the number of animals on the planet. 8 ANIMALS AND THE PLANTS THAT REPEL THEM While they are insectivores, their movement through the ground can damage plant roots and leave plants exposed to attack from other, herbivorous, animals. Chives, garlic, leek, onion and shallots are good crops to plant to repel moles. Rodents. Mice and other rodents can be difficult to detect on your plot until they have eaten theirfill.
5 WAYS OF PROPAGATING PLANTS Propagating plants means creating new plants from existing specimens, and is an important part of permaculture. It means that you can have a self-sustaining site; you can preserve local, indigenous and heirloom species, and cut the cost of buying seeds, seedlings or new plants. 10 BENEFITS OF COVER CROPS Cover Crops – sometimes called green manures – are plants that are used primarily to help improve a location, primarily because of the advantages they bring to the soil. Cover crops are often used to help ‘repair’ soil that has been depleted or eroded. There are many benefits the permaculture gardener can get from using cover cropplanting.
9 ORGANIC MULCH MATERIALS The hulls that are a by-product of buckwheat, cocoa, rice, cottonseed, and other grain crops can be used as mulch. They are very slow to decompose, so add little in the way of nutrients, but they are effective if increasing water percolation is your aim. 4 WAYS SOIL GETS ABUSED Removing vegetation degrades the soil in several ways. Firstly, it means the surface of the soil is exposed to forces of erosion, such as wind and rain. This removes the healthy topsoil, which is the primary growing medium for plants as it contains the most organic matter. It also means that the soil receives more direct sunlight, causing the 9 TIPS TO REDUCE YOUR FOOD MILES Collaborate. Buying in bulk reduces food miles as you shop less frequently. Purchasing foodstuffs that can be stored for a long time – such as grains, flours, tinned goods – in large quantities makes sense in terms of both reducing food miles and saving money. Of course, buying in bulk will typically mean using a car to transportyour
7 TIPS FOR GROWING CITRUS TREES Exposure to sunshine is the key to successful cultivation of all citrus varieties. A minimum of five hours full sun is necessary, but the more you can give them the better, so a north-facing position is best. In more temperate climates, it is a good idea to locate the trees next to a wall so that they can benefit from the radiated heat.HOMEPAGE 2019

It means that you can have a self-sustaining site; you can preserve local, indigenous and heirloom species, and cut the cost of buying seeds, seedlings or new plants. 6 PROPERTIES OF SOIL To get a basic idea of the texture of the soil on your plot, simply pick some up and feel it. A sandy soil will not adhere into a ball and have a gritty feel. A clay soil, by contrast, feels smooth and almost plastic to the touch. Loam will have a springy feel. Structure. Linked to the texture is the structure of the soil. 3 TYPES OF AQUAPONICS SYSTEMS There are three major forms of aquaponics systems. Media Beds. The media bed aquaponics system is probably the easiest to set up on your permaculture plot. It consists of garden beds filled with small porous rocks – typically clay pellets – into which the vegetables are planted (this is a no soil system). Water from the fish tank is either HOW TO START A SMALL PRODUCE BUSINESS Build Relationships.

A direct relationship between customers and producers helps to build trust and to make each party feel they have an equal stake in the exchange. Participating in community events is a 8 EDIBLE FLOWERS THAT FIT PERMACULTURE PLOT Here are some potential species to consider adding to your permaculture plot. Nasturtiums. Arguably, the flower that is most commonly used in the kitchen, nasturtiums have a pleasing yellow or orange color and a slightly spicy flavor. Most commonly used as a salad garnish, you could also try chopping the flowers up and mixinginto lemon butter
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR GARDEN FROM DROUGHT Whatever is feasible in this regard in your permaculture garden, capturing and reusing rainwater can be key to protecting your plants from the worst of the drought. Mulch. Mulching is an important strategy for all permaculture gardeners, but especially for those in drought- affected fallen-leaves-65544_640regions. 11 BENEFICIAL INSECT EATING BIRDS Nighthawks specialize in catching insects on the wing, eating flying ants, grasshoppers, leaf chafers and moths. They are particularly useful birds for permaculture sites in urban areas as they tend to nest on flat surfaces such as roofs, rather than in trees. Swallows.

HOW TO CHOOSE A WIND TURBINE Assess. You will first need to assess whether your site will benefit from a wind turbine. Assess the amount and direction of the wind that your site gets. As a general rule you want your site to experience average wind speeds of at least ten miles per hour. This will be affected by the surrounding topography of the land, as well as the 8 ANIMALS AND THE PLANTS THAT REPEL THEM While they are insectivores, their movement through the ground can damage plant roots and leave plants exposed to attack from other, herbivorous, animals.

5 FACTORS THAT AFFECT MICROCLIMATES The good news is that once you understand how different factors affect microclimates, you can modify those factors through your design to create, change and improve the microclimates on your property. There are five main factors that affect microclimates. Topography. The shape of the land is a significant influence on microclimates. EARTHSHIPS, STRAW BALE HOMES & BIODOMES The Steens have developed small scale building designs that consist of straw bale and a clay wall systems, along with clay and lime plasters. The inside houses a beautiful array of natural wonders. Some of these include sculptural wall carvings, clay ovens, and earthen floors. There is a wide array of housing and other structures that have been 3 TYPES OF AQUAPONICS SYSTEMS There are three major forms of aquaponics systems. Media Beds.

They are very slow to decompose, so add little in the way of nutrients, but they are effective if increasing water percolation is your aim. 4 WAYS TO PRESERVE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES A permaculture design seeks to maximize the yield of food that grows in it. By promoting biodiversity, succession planting, stacking systems and the efficiency of use of space, a permaculture plot should be able, space permitting, provide a large proportion of the gardener’s required fruit, vegetables and herbs. 8 TIPS FOR DESIGNING A POND Here are some of the things to consider when designing a pond for your permaculture garden. Shape. One of the central features of permaculture design is the maximization of edges. This refers to the locations where two different ecosystems come up against one another. Each ecosystem benefits from the interplay between the two that theseedge
6 REASONS WHY COMFREY IS AN AMAZING PERMACULTURE PLANT 6 Reasons Why Comfrey Is an Amazing Permaculture Plant. Comfrey is a fairly humble looking plant. It has large hairy green leaves and small bell-shaped flowers, typically colored either purple or white. However, what it may lack in striking appearances, it certainly makes up for in the myriad benefits it can give to a permaculture plot.Mulch.
8 ANIMALS AND THE PLANTS THAT REPEL THEM Just like a natural ecosystem, a permaculture design should always be looking to achieve balance. Establishing biodiversity is one way of doing this, but planting many species of plants, which in turn attract lots of different animals, from insects and spiders to birds andfrogs.
5 REASONS FOR REWILDING Rewilding is an ecological idea that is gradually gaining traction within environmental circles, and it bears significant comparison with some of permaculture’s guiding principles. 7 ADVANTAGES OF PERENNIALS Plants come in two main types: annuals and perennials (with the honorable exception of a few plants that last two years, called biennials). Annuals are species that go through their entire life cycle, from germination through to maturity and crop production withina single year.
10 BENEFITS OF COVER CROPS Cover Crops – sometimes called green manures – are plants that are used primarily to help improve a location, primarily because of the advantages they bring to the soil. Cover crops are often used to help ‘repair’ soil that has been depleted or eroded. There are many benefits the permaculture gardener can get from using cover cropplanting.
5 FACTORS THAT AFFECT MICROCLIMATES Across a permaculture site, there are few things that are uniform. With biodiversity and the maximization of edge key principles in permaculture gardening, you site is unlikely to look very uniform, not to mention that each individual plant grows in its own unique way. THE BEST HERBS FOR COMPOSTING The best way to add nutrients into your compost is to add up herbs that bring many benefits. Here are the best herbs for composting. 9 ORGANIC MULCH MATERIALS Great article, I’ve used cardboard and pine straw for over 20 years. People just thought I was strange. I’ve also used straw; but I live in FL now – they only have hay, I don’t like wood mulch in our climate it has too much dye, and other chemicals; besides it attracts ants and sub-terrain termites. 8 TIPS FOR DESIGNING A POND Incorporating a pond into a permaculture design has a number of benefits that it brings to the site as a whole. There is the obvious function of providing the site with a body of water. 4 WAYS SOIL GETS ABUSED In the modern world soil is continually coming under attack. That might sound alarmist, but the fact that it isn’t on the front page of the newspaper, doesn’t mean that the quality of soils is not being degenerated across the world at an ever-increasing rate. HOW TO PROTECT YOUR GARDEN FROM DROUGHT Ninety-eight percent of all climate scientists agree that global warming – predominantly caused by human activity, from the burning of fossil fuels to the intensive farming of livestock and the pollution of the world’s oceans – is a fact. 8 ANIMALS AND THE PLANTS THAT REPEL THEM Just like a natural ecosystem, a permaculture design should always be looking to achieve balance.

HOW TO CHOOSE A WIND TURBINE Assess. You will first need to assess whether your site will benefit from a wind turbine. Assess the amount and direction of the wind that your site gets. As a general rule you want your site to experience average wind speeds of at least ten miles per hour. This will be affected by the surrounding topography of the land, as well as the 10 BENEFITS OF COVER CROPS Cover Crops – sometimes called green manures – are plants that are used primarily to help improve a location, primarily because of the advantages they bring to the soil. Cover crops are often used to help ‘repair’ soil that has been depleted or eroded. There are many benefits the permaculture gardener can get from using cover cropplanting.
5 FACTORS THAT AFFECT MICROCLIMATES The good news is that once you understand how different factors affect microclimates, you can modify those factors through your design to create, change and improve the microclimates on your property. There are five main factors that affect microclimates. Topography. The shape of the land is a significant influence on microclimates. THE BEST HERBS FOR COMPOSTING Nettles. Nettles are another good plant to help get a compost pile going. This is primarily due to the high levels of nitrogen that they contain. But that’s not the only nutrient they bring to the mix. Nettles are high in phosphorous and iron, which is essential for the formation of chlorophyll in plants. Chamomile. 4 WAYS SOIL GETS ABUSED Removing vegetation degrades the soil in several ways. Firstly, it means the surface of the soil is exposed to forces of erosion, such as wind and rain. This removes the healthy topsoil, which is the primary growing medium for plants as it contains the most organic matter. It also means that the soil receives more direct sunlight, causing the 9 ORGANIC MULCH MATERIALS The hulls that are a by-product of buckwheat, cocoa, rice, cottonseed, and other grain crops can be used as mulch. They are very slow to decompose, so add little in the way of nutrients, but they are effective if increasing water percolation is your aim.
