Permaculture Flashcards
(27 cards)
Permaculture Principles
- Observe and Interact
- Catch and Store Energy
- Obtain a yield
- Apply Self-Regulation and Accept Feedback
- Use and Value Renewable Resources and Services
- Produce No Waste7. Design From Patterns to Details
- Integrate Rather Than Segregate
- Use Small and Slow Solutions
- Use and Value Diversity
- Use Edges and Value the Marginal
- Creatively Use and Respond to Change
Five advantages to having native Australian shrubs around the farm
They produce feed stock Reduce the production of methane They come back gastrointestinal worms The shrubs are fairly tall. Animals can get behind them when they’re cold
Nematodes
help distribute bacteria and fungi through the soil and along roots by carrying live and dormant microbes on their surfaces and in their digestive systems
Best way to fight a fungus?
With another type of fungi
The prime directive a permit culture
The only ethical decision is to take responsibility for our own existence and that I’ve had children make it now
Life is cooperative rather than
Competitive
Principle of cooperation
Cooperation, not competition, is the very basics of existing like systems and future survival
The ethical basis a permaculture
- care for the earth provisions for all life system to continually multiply 2. Care of people provisions for people to access the resources necessary to their existence 3. Setting limits to population and consumption by governing our own needs we can set resources aside to further the above principles
Basic question that could be asked in to Ways is
What can I get from his Lando person? Or what is this person or land have to give if I cooperate with them
Why would there never be laws in the area biology
Living systems do not lend them selves district scientific definition for two reasons. First life is always in the process of change second life systems react to investigation or experiments experiments
What is a limnologist
A person that studies freshwater lakes and like organisms
Ways to find solutions 10
One improving tools Two collecting a large set of observations Three insight - the other response to observation 4. Trials give it a try and see what works 5. Guessing 6. Observing unique events 7. Accidents 8. Imitations 9. Patterning by seeing a pattern of events often very different natures 10. Common sense management
Applying laws and principles to design.
Life intervention principle In chaos lies unparalleled opportunity to impose creative order Law of return Whatever we take we must return
What does a permaculture designer ask about energy in their system/ design
How can I best use this energy before it passes through this system. Catch And store
5 design principles for permaculture
1 work with nature rather than against it 2 the problem is the solutions. How to use the problem to solve issues 3 make the list change for the greatest possible effect 4 the yield of a system is theoretically unlimited 5 everything garden seeing where and how everything can be part of the usted.
Best way to create a yield
The way to create a yield is to be conservative in resources
Why is energy like money
It’s easier saved than generated
5 resources are
Those that increase by modest use Those unaffected by use Those that disappear or degrade if not used Those reduced by use Those that pollute or destroy other resources if used 1/3 are commonly natural systems 4/5 urban and industrial development. A society that manages 1-4 and bans 5, regulates all uses to produce sustainable yields is resource management
Permaculture and local farms do what to centralized power
It’s food resource independence. It destroys centralized power
Principal of disorder
A system or organism can accept only a quantity of a resource that is can use productively. Any further input causes disorder. Chronic pollution.
Imparable yeilds
Health nutrition security satisfactory social context and lifestyle. What does it gain a man if he gains the whole world and looses his soul
What is the concern of base yield in permaculture?
That it is sustainable
How many functions should Should I designed to be able to get
Five functions
Definition of System yield
The sum total of surplus energy produced by stored conserved reused or converted by the design. energy is in surplus once the system it’s self has available all its needs for growth reproduction and maintenance
