Melo: in answer to your original question, "permaculture" is basically a brand name, you might say, of various procedures that you may already know, along with some 'big picture' ideas, some site-specific concepts (like how to to rainwater capture given a specific ground shape),etc. I really don't think you have to take a class to learn these concepts, as the asians for instance have been doing this for hundreds of years, they just don't write books about it:-). Google for some reading. dboy

Agreed. Correction. Unconditional love is Free.

Nothing's wrong wits spending $ - IF I had it (LOL). But there are a ton of free resources and I try to tap on those first. Yes, good tools are all too important for any job. Hmm...I'm not sure love is free, haha! ...hasn't been my experience. You pay, somehow, sometimes a very high price. But that's another subject all together. :DTake care :)

I didn't realize that your comment did't show up. Sorry boiuot that. Its cool. I dont do Permaculture for a living I guess. I live in Arcata and dont have the space of my own at this time. Soon come I hope. Good luck on your search for how too-s. And there is a lot of Free courses. Plus, what's wrong with spending money. Often the tools and supplies to do good work, even Permaculture, need purchased. like my laptop and camera to make movies. Sadly... Nothings free xcept for love. namaste.

I can take jokes. Problem with the Net is that unless you add a smiley face, no one knows you are kidding. And it looks like you deleted or didn't post my previous reply, so now this reply is out of context.All I said, in many vids (not just this one), is that no one seems to be teaching how-to. I didn't criticize your vid, per se. I'm trying to learn this method cuz I know already that's good for the Earth, etc. Maybe you can add some vids on how-to? I'll be happy to watch. ;)

But am sad to see how critical we all are of each other, just cause its the internet and we dont have to live in the same town and see each others faces and be human. It seems the activist movement is way too self conscious, so PC, and quick to point finger at ourselves, when the real problems are so obvious. Anyone else feeling me here? Where's the compassion. Its like we went too far with making sure everything is ideal. Im over it. You can find me chillin. Not stressing and criticising.

Comedy. its like the internet cant take a joke. Anywayz... I could care less about your criticism, wheres your cool movie you did for free to spread goodness? I busted my a$% to make free films around the country and bring positivity to the communities. And our format was short movies... I made that thing in 1 day, and had it uploaded to sf.indymedia that night. So sad activists pick each other apart when the real problems are so obvious. Really, I was kidding.

Class? Spend money? Um, I'm a self-taught kinda gal. The advice is as good as this video.

Take a permaculture class. Sheesh!

Gorsh, can I find ONE video here that teaches how to do Permaculture and not just a bunch of babbling ABOUT it???? Sigh. |
