if you learn how to think like a permaculturist, then you can learn a lot no matter. surveying and study--learning the lay of thw land and the ecological framework of the particular situation-- is all part of it too.

so it's more of a way of being, a way of observing, doing, communicating, the procesd of a permaculturist.. that makes permaculture different from other forms design and living.

hink winging it is ok most of the time. but like you said it's good to draw from the experience of others. that's the beauty of mediums like the internet, books, and other recording devices: you can spread the word.

There are mistakes though. You should not just wing it.. There is a very real science to it. It isn't so static that you have to do things the same way, but one should study Bill Mollison's ideas. He knows the science. He knows how to keep you from having to weed things, and I have seen many videos of people winging it that were weeding plants which is ignorant. They also were rowing out plants in order, which is not permaculture,, There are guidelines to it. You can't just totally wing it

@gabehampton I agree 100%. Permaculture is perhaps the most scientific body of knowledge that I've ever known. (The more I know the closer I get to nervous breakdown ^v^) Just about everything fits together - just like in nature. If we imitated nature some more many of our world's great problems could be solved.

@gabehampton Also, row cropping works well in some situations, such as bottomlands that do not erode. As with everything else, though, it must be applied judiciously. Many a foot of topsoil has been lost through incorrectly applied row farming methods.

I long for a day an African will be judged by his deeds and not by his fluency in English!

how is this doing in Zimbabwe now? Singing used to be the way to remeber things for ppl all over the world, it helps u when u cant write.

[dustyloup]

i like the concept of learning by making mistakes and not teaching a specific formula. it makes permaculture seem easy and hard at the same time!

[Ranterd]

I agree. There are no mistakes in nature-- only adaptations.

This is fantastic! I love the bit on "killer bees"! I didn't know Bill Mollison was still in circulation...
