Nigel's Earth Projects

I am doing a variety of permaculture projects on 22 acres (9 hectares). Growing a nursery and homesteading.

These projects fall under a variety of categories related to permaculture and homesteading: timber framing, natural building, cordwood construction, light-straw-clay construction, swale design, excavating swales, planting swales, digging ponds, digging a driveway, managing a woodlot, coppicing, grazing livestock, etc...

A note on permaculture: When I say "permaculture" I am referring to an framework for systems-based design, often in regard to agriculture. Ideas about "ecosystems" and "the whole" come to mind. Permaculture is not just a list of projects like the previous paragraph included (for search engine purposes), it is how everything fits together -- a grand design -- beginning with the land as a whole. Any activity could be considered permaculture, if it appropriately fits into the whole, so worrying about whether something is "permaculture" is missing the point.
