*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.

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.
