DESCRIPTION

PermaculturePermaculture = Permanent agriculture
It is a self sustaining system which thinks about the productive landscape in terms of an ecology which considers relationships rather than individual elements
Zoningthere are 5 Permaculture zones which are differentiated by their usefulness. There are no clearly defined borders between the growing zones in a permaculture design zones need not be of a circular or any regular shape.
Sector PlanningSectors deal with the natural elements in your landscape: sun, light, wind, rain, fire and water flow
