1. Permaculture
cronology
Permaculture
is agriculture that is preserving
itself and almost ALWAYS works by
itself - WITHOUT pesticides, almost
WITHOUT machines, with maximum yield

Pioneers of permaculture F.H. King
"Farmers of Forty Centuries" - Fukuoka in
Japan "One Straw Revolution" - pioneer
Bill Mollison in Australia - a Patrick
Whitefield with "Permaculture in a
Nutshell" - pioneer Hemenway with "Gaia's
Garden"

Patrick Whitefield with his book

3.
Principles of agriculture with Mother
Earth of Holmgren: 12 points
Observe + improve - save
energy + efficiency - yield in the long
term - ecosystem self-regulating - slow
but steady growth - waste does not exist
- always keep an eye on the whole -
investigate holistically + plant -
increase efficiency slowly - maintain
diversity - also consider marginal zones
- for changes react creatively

book "Permaculture. Principles &
Pathways Beyond Sustainability"

04c1:
pioneer Masanobu Fukuoka: transforming a
farm to it's origin - in Japan (1938)
Goal:
Restore the original agriculture with
fruit forest and straw as it was 12,000
years ago - seed balls - nature decides
what grows where - the "mu" of
nothing-to-do-farming - 5 principles: NO
plow, NO fertilizer, NO compost, NO
weeding, NO pesticides, NO pruning -
Experiments with rice and barley and
mulch - from 1979, traveling without end

Permaculture farm of the family
Hervé-Gruyer in Le Bec Hellouin, France
A Farm installs 1 hectare of permaculture -
the farm of the Hervé-Gruyer family in Le
Bec Hellouin, France -- 2004: France:
Acquisition of a farm in Le Bec Hellouin -
in 2008 change of 1 hectare on permaculture
-- Some impressions and pics from the
permaculture farm of the Hervé-Gruyer family
in Le Bec-Hellouin (France) 1,2,3 -- The
hillbeds in the permaculture zone in Le
Bec-Hellouin: The roots remain in the soil,
so the hillbeds become always more fertile -
yield per year 55 ¤ / m2 (2018)

The farm in Le Bec Hellouin in France of
the Hervé-Gruyer family with 1 hectare of
permaculture since 2008 - almost 10 times
yield than normal

04h:
Permaculture project Eulenhof (own farm)
in Möhlin (CH) "Project 63"
There is a zone
planning -- With a sector analysis -- The
farm needs a pond system for water
management -- Zones are set for vegetable
growing and forest -- Plan of a perennial
nursery -- In addition, the value added
and the yield is analyzed, possibly
further optimized -- Possibly other
sources of income will be developed such
as -- Removal of an old barn -- Extension
or construction of buildings for seminars,
training or accommodation -- Extension of
the kitchen to a communal kitchen --
Installation or extension of processing
rooms

(Shitzerland - because of criminal banks,
criminal pharma, criminal Nestlé, and
criminal government permitting these
criminals etc.) [1]

permaculture - principles and tricks

Fruit forest garden (orchard garden, food
forest, forest garden) - examples

- 500m2 orchard on his Highwood Hill Farm in
Shropshire
05d:
The permaculture orchard of Mr. Graham
Bell (Southern Scotland)
Amazonas is a forest garden - harvest is
without end - second half of the garden is
the soil
05e:
The orchard garden (agroforestry) with
coffee cultivation in Peru - comparison
with monoculture in Brazil
Study clearly states: The environmental
pollution in a monoculture (Brazil) is 3
times higher than in an orchard garden
(Peru)
