He said if I could remove the tubs they were mine! They wer...

We've just completed the bins for our worm farm.  When the snow is off, we'll put in the worms.  The bins are designed so that worm tea is taken off the bottom.  We'll use this tea as a foliar spray and the worms themselves as food for the Tilapia in the Aquaponics systems.

We had a good turn out at the first of our local group meetings.  The Arnica and Cedar Creek Chapters of the Nemenhah have begun efforts to collaborate on a AquaPonics project.  BarrelPonics test projects have been proposed at the individual Member's home permaculture projects, with the intention...

A 4-acre forest garden on sandy, mostly-open, neglected land on the edge of small town in southwest Michigan.

The cows in the first instance, bring a peace that is felt through out. There is nothing as peaceful as watching a Jersey cow chewing she cud, with big brown eyes and seldom an unworthy thought.  More than that they give us many regenerative assets. Starting with calves who can be onsold for gai...

I have reduced my fossil fuel consumption as practically possible at this time, I minimize my use of paper products, and avoid heavily packaged products and I have an overly productive greens gardens in a region of Canada that has surplus apples and shell fish.

I first devised the 'Off the Contour' title back in the early 90's for a little newsletter we wrote back then. 'Off the Contour' as a 'Keyliner' I am more often found going off the contour than on it like most Permaculturalists. Similarly this pattern goes with the way that I approach my work of ...

Intro: This is a project I will make into an okaj design proposal in april as the final product of my graduation project, but after that I will come back to it regularly and I hopefully start to implement it this year. Therefore I would be very happy if someone from the permaculture world, with ...

The picture at the bottom is an illustration of how my mind works now that I have been infected with the "permaculture bug."  It's a picture of how I want my life to be designed.  Click on it to enlarge.  Every morning when I wake up, I can choose any of those bubbles, and I will be moving toward...
