Soil Sciences – macro and micro levels
Understanding soil science at macro and micro levels is crucial in permaculture. This knowledge informs decisions about plant selection, crop rotation, and soil management practices, helping to create healthier, more productive landscapes
Harvesting, foraging, focus on nutrition yields
Harvesting and foraging methods should focus not just on the quantity of the yield but also its nutritional value. This requires a varied and diverse selection of crops. Return to
Cropping, seed preparation, dispersal & harvest
This refers to the full cycle of growing crops - from preparing and planting seeds, to tending plants, and eventually, the harvest. Each stage requires careful planning and management to ensure a successful yield.
Rainwater harvesting, recharge, erosion check
Rainwater harvesting captures and stores rain, reducing water demand. Recharge zones allow water to infiltrate the soil, replenishing groundwater. Together, these practices also help control erosion. Stabilizing slopes is essential in preventing landslides and soil erosion. Techniques can include contour ploughing, planting vegetation, and building terraces.
