Sid's Punk Permaculture Garden

You could attach any type of trellis along your garden walls, to use your "up" space. grow your vines up the wall trellis instead of along the ground. that way, you can fit more into the space you have. also, you might want to consider protecting your soil with a mulch. Straw (not hay) or something like that. good luck!

Dude,, you look so dead !

That's what morphine does to people who have cancer.
This was a relativly good day for me where as most people get a dose of morphine and stay in bed monging out till they die, I do gardening and video editing to keep me from deaths door.

Nice one Sid, I love your enthusiasm

you should make walkway not in the middle thats the prime sun space thats why rows closer to your center are nicer then their counterparts along the perimeter...food for though! nice stuff mate

Thanks for the great advice, we will change it now its winter.

Modern permaculture is a system design tool. It is a way of:
1: looking at a whole system or problem;
2: observing how the parts relate;
3: planning to mend sick systems by
4: applying ideas learnt from long-term sustainable working systems;
seeing connections between key parts.

It appears that Sid has applied 1 - 4 by utilizing the paving slabs with efficacy, sustaining protection of the vegetation with the paving slabs, which were already a key part of the design.

There is no MODERN Permaculture. There are only DEFINITIONS of what Permaculture is.

Permaculture is not a design tool, Permaculture is DESIGN. The only thing that is taught as Permaculture is Permaculture DESIGN.

The ONLY difference between Permaculture and other growing is DESIGN.

To claim something IS Permaculture is to have completed the 2 week PDC course and DESIGNED the project then be able to show with that design and explanations why it is Permaculture, prinicples and ethics

This garden IS an inspiring project and other people should do the same. I don't see any sign of Permaculture design in the video so I asked for additional information in the form of the designs and written explanations.
My issue is not with the gardener, he is growing food. It is the overuse of the Permaculture label with which I have an issue and the fact that the link to this video was posted by Graham Burnett in Permaculture forums as a 'truly inspiring urban Permaculture project'

Permaculture in a Nutshell, suggests that there are now two strands of permaculture: Original and Design Design permaculture takes the working connections at use in an ecosystem and uses them as its basis. The end result may not look as "natural" as a forest garden, but still has an underlying design based on ecological principles. Through close observation of natural energies and flow patterns efficient design systems can be developed. This has become known as Natural Systems Design.
