Permaculture Around the World

[ysabetwordsmith]

I got to talking with a friend about permaculture in Great Britain and it kind of snowballed from there...


These are permaculture design principles. They can help figure out how to build a mini-ecosystem.

Here is a handbook for Midwest North America tree guilds. Some of these, like oak and ash, will grow in many parts of the world; and a fruit tree guild can be customized for anywhere.

Note that a food forest will definitely attract birds!  If you want to keep some food for yourself, you will have to net some things like fruits and berries.  Same if you want to save seeds from their favorite flowers like echinacea or zinnias.
