PERMACULTURE
Permaculture Definition
Permaculture is the conscious design
and maintenance of agriculturally
productive systems which have the
diversity, stability, and resilience of
natural ecosystems.
It is the harmonious integration of the
landscape with people providing their
food, energy, shelter and other
material and non-material needs in a
sustainable way.
Permaculture Ethics & Principles
Observe & Interact
Creatively Use &
Repond To Change
Use Edges & Value
the Marginal
Use & Value
Diversity
Use Small &
Slow Solutions
Catch & Store Energy
Obtain A Yield
Ethics:
Care of Earth,
Care of People
& Fair Share
Apply Self Regulation &
Accept Feedback
Integrate Rather
Than Segregate
Design from Patterns to Details
Use and Value Renewable
Resources & Services
Produce No Waste
Principles of Permaculture
Care of the Earth
 (Rebuild nature’s capital)
 Care of the People
(Nurture the self, kin and community)
 Fair Share
(Live simply so that others may
simply live)
Permaculture Ideas
Collect and save
energy
Close material loops
Layer functions
Maintain diversity
Mimic Ecosystems
Catch and Store Energy
SIMPLE GARDEN IDEAS
 Use black plastic
containers for compost
and rain barrels to trap
heat.
 Compost waste faster at
higher temps
 Keep water unfrozen in
rain barrel
Close Materials Loops
SIMPLE GARDEN IDEAS
 Reuse fish waste to grow
plants (aquaponics)
 Use compost to recycle
nutrients into soil
 Upcycle pallets to use as
planters
Layer Functions
SIMPLE GARDEN IDEAS
 Create greenhouses, which
keep plants warm, out of
recycled products
 Make beautiful planters out of
recycled materials

Use chickens tractors
(weeding, fertilizing, aerating,
pest control) while feeding
your chickens
Maintain Diversity
SIMPLE GARDEN IDEAS
 Employ polyculture to
prevent diseases and
pests
 Encourage natural
ecosystems (feed fungi,
bacteria, and insects
that helps keep the
system in balance)
Mimic Ecosystems
SIMPLE GARDEN IDEAS

Use legumes and bacteria to
enhance nitrogen in soil

Create environment to
encourage organisms (grow
mushrooms)

Use mulch to prevent bare soils
