Project Summary

What does your land and soil need to provide all vital for us? With this theme I spent a lot of time observing a piece of land, just 5.700 m² in the year of 2010. The following years I started planting an edible forest garden in cool temperate climate with a pond system.

Project Description

The pond is wringgling through the terrain In 2011 I started excavation a pond, wringgling throgh the terrain. The excavated soil from the pond was formed into permanent hills. A diverse wild berry hedge was planted and I also planted the first fruit trees and berry bushes. Now there are around 30 different apple and pear varieties and also some exotics such as Indian banana, fig, jujube and others.

chagga people food forest garden In the meantime I exchange myself with forest gardeners in my environment, but also in distant lands, so I visited the edible foodforests of the Chagga people on Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru in Tanzania and the so-called Spice Garden in the highlands of Kandy, in Sri Lanka.

mandala garden infront of strawbale hut 2012 was the year with building activity, a spiral-shaped hut on stilts was construkted. The walls were infilled with straw bales and plastered with clay. In the following summers construktion work was going on, we implemented cordwood, bottles windows and other techniques. In the foodforest I was working out the understorage layers.

visitors at my foodforest watergarden Einjoch My foodforest-watergarden is frequently by students and larger excursions. I also offer practical workshops on permaculture, forest garden, Terra Preta, solar dryer build, bread oven build. In spring and autumn I run very practical permaculture design courses in modules.

Legend of Badges

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.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With 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.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
