*Permaculture* (Permanent-Culture): A practical design philosophy intended
to help us live and prosper in an environment, while working with nature in
a positive way, using solutions based on careful observation of natural
ecosystems and common sense. This can include food and energy production,
shelter, resource management, nature conservation and community living.

*Please Read Before Posting:*

It's pretty often that we see questions along the lines of, "I want to do
X--what are the species/structures to get it done?" This isn't a bad
question but there's not enough information to give a decent answer. When
submitting a question, there is some information that ought to be included,
such as:

   - Climate/Latitude/Elevation
   - What's already growing on the land in question
   - Topography--mountain, rolling hills, plains...
   - Water features--average rainfall, streams/ponds, etc.
   - Legal restrictions
   - Solar orientation
   - Soil conditions
   - Site history

This is the kind of stuff a permaculture consultant wants to know before
doing a site visit/design/recommendation. And while no one is going to get
a professional job done over reddit, better questions will lead to better
answers.
