New year resolutions are easy to forget.
A permaculture design isn’t.
Barbara Scheltus suggests we sketch our intentions instead of listing resolutions. Let’s design our change!

A food forest, like the name implies, is a forest of food. Like any forest, once established they maintain themselves and have to be physically removed to stop producing. They are created in layers and this open source guide talks about plants ideal for creating the root crops layer. https://www.onecommunityglobal.org/food-forest-root-crop-plantings/

If you could add ONE feature to your dream homestead, what would it be?
🌳 Food forest
💧 Pond
🔥 Biochar kiln
🐔 Chicken coop
Drop your answer below 👇 … and then take the next step: put it in your design and submit it. Submission period ends on October 15.
In the vegetable garden we have a couple of dead hedges, constructed from cut branches, logs and pruned plant material. It serves so many purposes. It is a windbreak and a shelter for wildlife and insects. It creates small microclimates and compost from the de-composing wood (the raspberry’s thrive close to the hedge). Sweet potatoes and pumpkins find a place to climb and we don’t have to move any of our wood from the land. And last but not least, I love the look of it.

THINKING ABOUT PERMACULTURE…
It was when I was looking for a book on the shelf that a couple other titles caught my eye. I never did find that elusive book I was looking for, however the sight of those other titles made me realise that the saying that new ideas stand on the shoulders of those that came before was as true for the permaculture design system as much as it was for any other innovative idea.
Bill Mollison and David Holmgren knew this because they described permaculture as a synthesis drawing on a range of sciences and traditional practices. Perhaps this makes permaculture more of an iteration of those things it drew upon rather than a new invention. What was new was how they were synthesised to create a comprehensive and coherent system of design, so maybe we can say that permaculture was assembled from ideas, sciences and practices that were aleady in existence and that Bill and David brought together.
Anyway, following up on my noticing those books on the shelf I did my own assembly by bringing together some of the thinkers who were an influence on the early years of permaculture, those increasingly distant days when the design system was still in formulation. Maybe you know of others. If so, let's know in the comments.

IPD is a day to reflect on how we are enacting the#3ethicsofpermaculture in our daily lives:
- Care of the Earth
- Care for People
- Share the Surplus
What are your reflections on #permaculturedesign on #permacultureday ?
#permacultureday 4 May — or thereabouts
Showcase practical solutions that can give a sense of hope to address some of our most pressing issues of our time. Provide opportunities to share ways of solving problems.
+ swap parties + workshops + film & book chats etc
