Perm (...aculture) People!

Yes,
some members of our bloggers, got to spend a few hours at the conclusion of the Permaculture Summer Series. The students had to do presentations, involving what they learned during the program. There were people who used a retreat, farm, their condominium, or even their suburban house as models for "Permaculture-ifying". Students had to do things like, incorporate Permaculture points, and show what steps they would use to get to the goal they showed. Of course, they would utilize nature, use swales (a depression in the ground that provides drainage), plan gardens, collect rain, and harvest solar and wind energy. The retreat model, decided they would use only compost toilets. (Fun, fun!) The farm, since they have plenty of livestock, would use methane energy. The Nashville condo would border a nearby creek with flowers and shrubs. The regular house would collect rain. The suburban house would use "trash" for such things like, flower planters. I would some up these Permaculture ideas in three words, creative, innovative, and conservatorial.
Those were just the basis, of some of the incredibly thorough presentations. If you would like to know more about many of these subjects or the people behind this project, go to: www.hohenwaldpermaculture.blogspot.com
