Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Martin Naylor <martinwnaylor@yahoo.com.au>]

A large part of that Emilia said was that folks don't spend enough time observing their land.....just watching it all day.  They put things in the wrong place because they quite literally fight Nature in doing so.  What seems like the right place for a garden because it is convenient for the gardener may be a step towards failure before the first seeds are planted

 

A basic essential of permaculture is observation not watching [observation is the observing of something with no judgemental thought patterns], another basic concept of permaculture is putting the right thing in the right place, basically minimum input  maximum output

 

Another basic essential is to use any knowledge available from the distant past to the present to accomplish these outcomes.

 

As permaculture is prepared to use any imformation/knowlege I can't see how any system can compare, as all systems are a fragment of permaculture

I have yet to meet a single person from our culture, no matter what his or her educational background, IQ, and specific training, who had powerful transpersonal experiences and continues to subscribe to the materialistic monism of Western science.
