A page of quotable quotes from David Holmgren, one of the co-creators of Permaculture. Most of them are from the video at the top of the page, which is an interesting watch if you have 90 minutes to view it.

> Permaculture principles underpin the design approach. Keyhole gardens are one of many tools in a very large toolbox.

So basically in the keyhole approach as a feeder for the soil and soil life we are talking about a tool.

I guess the permaculture principle of:
* Every aspect in a system should be covered/supported by at least two elements in the system.

.. could be defined here like:
Worms and black soldier flies are two different elements to decompose organic matter in a kitchen, house hold and gardening waste setup.
Implementing them in key holes for a proper and easy to use setup could be defined as part of the lazy gardeners dream team design.
(depending of course on other issues like the application in a specific climate for example)

@WesternExposure

just btw:
> That principle is used in keyhole gardens

Would this actually be called a #permaculture principle or is it more like a technique or idea of an implementation of a tool that reflects and/or applies one or several permaculture principles?

First phase of the new “chill ’n grill” area outside the wee house kitchen gets its roof just in the nick of time before rain tomorrow. The stone base, counter, pizza oven, barbecue and roof structure were constructed through two successive one-week Post-PDC Practical courses this summer. If there was ever any doubt that a bunch of people with little to no experience of construction and/or natural building are capable of doing awesome, solid and beautiful work, these folks have laid it to rest. You should all be super proud of yourselves!

he two essential ingredients for mixing good cob: music and beer. Along with clay, sand, straw and shiny happy bare feet
.
The Post-PDC Practical course in full swing as students implement designs for a “chill & grill” area outside the Wee House kitchen-to-be.
.
The house was gutted in the fires of October 2017, but is being rebuilt. And now its pizza oven rises from the grave bigger and better than ever. Friday night pizzas, here we come!

With just over a week to go before our first Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course this year, we’re going flat out to have new facilities in place for our course participants! This is a new vermicomposting flush toilet right by the classroom.
.
And thanks to a couple of late cancellations, we even have a couple of spaces left on what has, for months, been a fully-booked course. Come and join us! And along with learning about ecological waste treatment, you might even get to do some earthen plastering on this very building.

A bamboo floor for a new shower. Time pressure for completion changed my thinking on this one. I was going to build up a stone floor from ground level a metre or more below and pipe the water to a mulch pit.
Now the water drains straight through the floor into a mulch pit beneath. The floor is built to be easily renewed when necessary if the bamboo doesn’t hold up to the repeated wet-dry cycling. Bamboo grown on the quinta.

A view of the main building through the cherry tree. Just 5 places left on our courses this year - 2 for July and 3 for August - so come and learn how to save the Earth and avert climate disruption by working with nature, not AgaInst it! (Do you see what I did there …?)

A couple who were to have been coming to July's Permaculture Design Course in their camper van have unexpectedly just found their dream home in Portugal and are having to postpone their participation. So we now have two spots AND a camper van place (if needed) on the course which was previously fully booked. This is a great opportunity for anyone travelling around right now to join a great bunch of students and facilitators in a thorough exploration of how to work with nature, not against it. We also have just 3 spaces left on the August PDC. (Check out the Courses and Workshops link in our link tree.) Come and join us!

Japanese dogwood (Cornus kousa) flowering for the first time. Looking forward to trying the fruits. An easy to cultivate small tree or shrub with a long history of use. It feels so rewarding to revive these old varieties which have ended up being ignored because they don’t suit our supermarket-based eating habits. Particularly when they have such delightful flowers.
