Native Plants, Toby Hemenway, Gardens and Permaculture


www.permies.com Toby Hemenway shares his perspective on native plants. He is a powerful advocate of native plants. And, at the same time, is concerned that the passions of some other native plant advocates might lead down a path that is not as good for native plants. Specifically, the planting of exclusively native plants vs. planting of an edible garden. Toby also explores the idea of "native to when?" with a focus on douglas fir trees.

Occupy Permaculture


Bill Mollison explains the need to stop running away, to face the fact that we need to take control of the financial system. www.occupy-wallstreet.com permaculture.tv "Hunger is rising, absolute hunger is rising, food's badly distributed, not distributed at all often. The waste of food, the whole deal of it....its eh, a shocking situation, it's just inhuman. It's what nobody would intend, and somehow what we've arrived at, and we arrived at it by the erection of financial structures, totally divorced from resources. So that the fiscal economy has been a runaway system. We've gotta tackle that head on. That is, what I'm trying to tell you, it's no good any longer just being an organic gardener or farmer, we have to be effective financial and political units. And we're gonna have to face that. Just as it was very hard for us to learn to garden, then hard for us to learn to collect seeds, once the multinationals took over the open-pollinated seed market; we had to become seed growers. Now its very difficult, we have to become bankers.There's no good trying to pretend we don't have to. We can run away to the bush, build a mud hut and grow ducks in the garden, it's not gonna do it. The coals will still be burnt, the land will still be eroded, and the forests will still be cleared for newsprint if we run away to the bush. So, there's no escape, we've just gotta stop running away, stay where we are and start to face up and fight." 1983 pdc bill mollison

Black Locust, permaculture food forest tree


www.permies.com Alexandra King of Inspiration Farm (http in Bellinghmam, Washington talks a little about how black locust is great fodder, although sheep might like it so much it can make them sick. The sheep thought the black locust was the best tasting things in a brand new paddock. Robinia pseudoacacia. Brian Kerkvliet, also of Inspiration Farm, talks about other valuable aspects of black locust: fiber, fence posts, tool handles, nitrogen fixer, coppicing, shoots, pole construction, skids for an animal shelter, bee fodder (some of the very best honey) - a long blooming period, leafs out late, allowing the soil to warm before the tree shade kicks in, chicken food ... Brian then shows off some tool handles he made with black locust. He talks about how easy it is to peel. He also shows using the bark for a basket. he talks about using it for a scythe snath. He compares black locust to hickory. He shows off some hay rakes. When used as a handle, it is springier than other woods. If the wood is left out in the weather, it won't rot. Brian recommends black locust for rakes, shovels, hoes and many other tools. Black locust has a large root mass which makes it so it can grow very rapidly. Black locust lasts a really long time even when in direct contact with the soil. Brian shows a black locust seedling that was devoured by sheep and ... recovering. Mark Vander Meer of Wildland Conservation Services (www.vanwild.com) in Missoula, Montana, talks about the value of black locust <b>...</b>

Top 6 Reasons to Get a Pond - Permaculture Artisans Network


A pond isn't just a big puddle; a pond can make anyone's life easier - in your garden, your land, your park... anywhere! by Erik Ohlsen 1. Pest Management Control pests like mosquitos, slugs, snails and other bugs that are eating up you and your garden, using no pesticides. 2. Escape A pond and waterfall can drown out noise, giving you a sense of peace and tranquility. 3. Aquaculture A pond can be your own farm. You can grow and eat the plants and fish that work to clean and filter your pond. 4. Flood Irrigation All the nutrients and minerals your plants and fish are leaving in the water can be washed off into your land, providing not only moisture needed, but fertilizing your plants, saving you organic or inorganic fertilizer costs. 5. Microclimate Do you want to grow some oranges, but you live in a cold climate? A pond absorbs heat during the day from the sun, then releases at night, so frost is less likely to occur on plants right next to the warmer water source -- the pond. This allows you to grow citrus, flowers and other plants that require shorter frost times. 6. Biomass If your pond is overgrown, that's a good thing! You'll need that as mulch. Mulching your garden with nutrient-rich will help you reach the carbon nitrogen ratio that will give you the best growth. It makes excellent compost as well. ...Permaculture Artisans Network is the place to go for fun, sane ways of redesigning your world.

Permaculture Principles In A Polyculture Orchard


It's Not Just About Gardening In this video Anneke de Graaf explains fundamental principles at work in a permaculture orchard in New South Wales Australia. Obtain a Yield: Everything that exerts and consumes energy needs to produce a yield. In Nature There Is No Waste: What looks like old dead leaves to be removed to the conventional agriculture eye, is important ground cover and nutritious compost. Diversity: Diversity makes an eco system robust, flexible and resilient. Diversity in a garden means you don't need chemicals to reduce the amount of pests that you have. Anneke points out: "It's not just about gardening. It's about the way we think and view the world. We can apply these principles in every part of our lives... architecture, cities, the way we set our house -- and the way we function in everyday life." This video might contain copyrighted material.

PERMACULTURE & PEAK OIL: Beyond 'Sustainability'


David Holmgren is co-originator (with Bill Mollison) of the permaculture concept and author of the recent book, PERMACULTURE: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability. He talks about the need to move beyond the lulling hope that 'green tech' breakthroughs will allow world-wide 'sustainable consumption' to the recognition that dwindling oil supplies inevitably mean a mandatory 'energy descent' for human civilization across the planet. He argues that permaculture principles provide the best guide to a peaceful societal 'powering down." www.holmgren.com.au
