Subscribe to this blog's feed February 12, 2008 Reaching full capacity Our poultry population continues to expand - the broody chook I brought home from work (which Bruce has christened 'Janet', after my boss) successfully hatched six eggs and we still have two of our own hens sitting on yet more eggs. I thought we were doing very well until I saw Rose's comment that she has 67 chicks - can't compete with that! Actually the domes are nearly at full capacity. The Permaculture Home Garden suggests a maximum of 12 birds per dome, and we've currently got: 8 hens and 1 rooster in the main dome that's travelling round the mandalas 4 hens and 1 rooster in the smaller dome that sits next to Bruce's veggie patch by the septic tank, plus 13 chicks ranging in age from about 2 to 6 weeks 2 broody hens sitting on eggs in the A frame that we use as a maternity ward. That makes 29 birds altogether, plus whatever hatches from the two broody hens, which is way too many. So, once the chicks get big enough, we'll eat any that are roosters, and keep the female ones to replace some of our older birds that aren't laying very well. We'll also do a rooster swap with our neighbours, to get some new blood into our flock, which is getting rather inbred.

Church of Deep Ecology Recognizing nature as our guide, we will work to encourage a more sustainable lifestyle based in exploring and celebrating the interconnectedness of all living things and the Earth. PERMACULTURE Pemaculture is a method of gardening, and living, that looks to nature for guidance, emulating the patterns found in natural ecosystems. The word Permaculture is a combination of permanent and agriculture , and stresses the importance of low maintainance perennial crops, natural water catchment, and low energy inputs. Permaculture is, in many ways, acting out our commitment to Deep Ecology. Below you will find links to pdf files containing the complete text of 15 pamphlets based on the 1981 Permaculture Design Course given by Bill Mollison (the father of Permaculture) at The Rural Education Center, Wilton, New Hampshire, USA. In deference to the monumental tasks of love in this work, often painstaking, always careful and caring, and with Bill Mollison's consent, these documents have been placed in the public domain. Their reproduction is free to all and encouraged. Credit, above all to Bill Mollison and secondly to Yankee Permaculture , is proper and appreciated.

text more text One group of these individuals has developed a method of self-sustained living known as permaculture . Unlike many other methods of alternative agriculture, permaculture is not simply a method of food production. It is a complete lifestyle with its own overarching set of beliefs that can be applied to every aspect of one’s life. The term "permaculture" was coined in the late 1970s by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, authors of the first permaculture manual . These philosophers of science believe that "when we left tribal life, we left with it all guides to sensible behavior in the natural world." They believe that we, as a human race, have forgotten how to "evolve self-regulating systems" and that the widespread destruction caused by our current system of agriculture is clear evidence of this. Mollison and Holmgren sought to design a method through which humans might again live within self-regulating natural systems. These men were not modern "Luddites" who desired to reject all of modern science’s technological advances and return to primitive methods of production. On the contrary, they envisioned a lifestyle in which humans would utilize all of this new scientific understanding and their own commonsense to create small systems of food production which would simulate natural ecosystems and be individually tailored to suit the situation of each household. In this type of system the primary concerns would not be mass production and economics but "people care" and "earth care." Because successful permaculture requires great inputs of knowledge of natural systems, creativity, and expertise in a number of different areas, the ideal of "people care" encourages individuals to share both their crop yield and their knowledge and talents. "People care" also encompasses the ideal that, just as an individual should care for the earth, the earth should care and provide for that individual. Each permaculture system is thus developed and personally tailored to suit the needs and desires of the individuals for which it provides.
