Anyone interested in PermacultureAnyone interested in PermacultureThere is a programme on BBC2 tonight ( Sunday) at 8pm all about Permaculture. Watched it on friday and it was very interesting, going to watch it again tonight. Anyone without TV can download it.
I didnt really understand it before but it all makes sense now. Evie
This is something I have been interested in for a while although I practice in an urban context !!
Its very interesting and covers all aspects of lifestlyle it can be adapted to any context (it origanlly came from forest gardening) My take on it is making the most of my environment, trying to meet my needs from what is available (without using up any further natural resources) - not for the purists but works for me If you search on the net you will come up with lots of good stuff. Yes I keep hearing about it.
I've not researched it because it seems to be more of an eco system for large area. It's not really something that can be done on a small scale. Allotment http://taylorsplot.blogspot.com/
Orfy Blog (Food'n'Stuff) http://orfy.blogspot.com/ 1xMaran 1xRIR 6xWarrens 2xMuts I have just watched the programme on iplayer, very very interesting, and frightening, to think how farming is going to have to change because we are going to run out of food if it doesn't. I think every person in Britain should be made to watch this film.
A Farm For the Future Ilona I couldnt agree more Ilona, the film really gets you thinking and questioning our own futures and especially those of our children. It really is the time to wake up and take notice. I have seen this coming for years. Theres too much Greed .
Orfy they reckon permaculture can be done on a small scale. Something as small as your own garden. There are hundreds of web sites on the subject. The people featured on the programme have their own sites explaining it all very well. Evie |
