We are now beyond the tipping point.

We can pull it together!

Permaculture is a practice that is very personal to students who have invested in a PDC or Permaculture Design Certification. The following is only a simple introduction to this globally and personally impactful subject. It will change your perspective and your outlook on our natural world.

Introduction to Permaculture

The Ethics and Principles of Permaculture

A practice of ethics and principles working within the natural systems of our world. A practice that allows us to contribute a positive approach to our lives, our farming and gardening as well as the planet. 

The Three Ethics

Earth Care

People Care

People Care

Ecology would be a familiar term in science that brings all of this into perspective. How we as human beings can work with and benefit nature as well as our earthly environments. 

People Care

People Care

People Care

Self care and care of others. Holistic change. Positively reinforcing community and compassionate living. Sharing of ideas, time, teaching, coaching, collaboration. Sharing food, living spaces and and other resources. An indigenous perspective would be the care of the seven generations. 

Future Care and Return of Surplus

Future Care and Return of Surplus

Future Care and Return of Surplus

Conservation of our natural resources, self-regulation, and the return of excess natural resources. Donating, reduced consumption of fossil fuels and non-renewable materials. Regenerative farming, economies, attitudes  and perspectives.

Soil Spheres

1. Detritusphere

3. Aggregatusphere

1. Detritusphere

Protective layer. Broken up skin. Protects from the force of rain impact while reducing evaporation. Regulates temperatures. Without this layer there will be crusting.

2. Drilosphere

3. Aggregatusphere

1. Detritusphere

Carbon and water highways of the soil.

Home for soil aggregates, organic matter and nutrients. Important for water infiltration.

3. Aggregatusphere

3. Aggregatusphere

3. Aggregatusphere

The cottage cheese area of the soil which can be diminished by over grazing. 

4. Pourosphere

4. Pourosphere

3. Aggregatusphere

This is what Walter Jehne refers to as the "nothing" you want to add to your soils for air, water and life to intermingle in a healthy environment. Without these spaces soil will become anaerobic.

5. Rhizosphere

4. Pourosphere

5. Rhizosphere

The neighborhood around plant roots which feed the soil microbiology proteins and sugars and in turn give nutrients back to the plants. Elaine Ingham refers to these as "cakes and cookies". Heavy tillage such as what is done every day in conventional farming destroys this ecosystem that creates healthier and more nutrient dense plants and food.

6. Drilosphere

4. Pourosphere

5. Rhizosphere

The worm sphere.
