Making the Big Bucks with Permaculture

For many people, thinking green and exerting effort in order to help Mother Earth is not really a good way to earn money. That, however, is a thing of the past.

Paul Wheaton, one of the leading figures when it comes to permaculture, would be holding a talk on Petaluma Seed Bank located at Petaluma, CA this coming Sunday, September 2nd. The said talk will focus on how to make money with permaculture.

Aside from his devotion to permaculture, Paul Wheaton is also into software engineering. To date, he is the site owner and moderator of Permies.com as well as CodeRanch, an online site dedicated to software programmers who would like to know more about computer programming. Permies.com, on the other hand, is the largest online resource for anything and everything about permaculture.

For most people, permaculture is nothing more than a movement to take care of the environment. In truth, however, permaculture is more than that. Permaculture, considered to be a branch of such niches as ecological design as well as ecological engineering, rests on three tenets or principles: taking care of the earth, taking care of the people around, and sharing the surplus. Its most practical application can be found in rainwater harvesting as well as sheet mulching.

As part of landscaping, permaculture can be used by many artists and creative people in order to make money. With permaculture, they would be able to maximize the use of one element without doing more harm to the environment.

For those who are interested in hearing more about permaculture, visit https://permies.com/, a site being handled by Paul Wheaton for individuals out to make a difference. You can also listen recordings of his previous talks at RichSoil.com under the permaculture category.

I'm trying to think of a way to say this without sounding like a jerk.

You should probably know that since the SEC hasn't formulated rules for registering crowdsourcing funding portals that you could be charged with securities fraud.

Jacob blogs about the trouble of dealing with people more than 2 steps below him on the scale.

I thought it was a pretty interesting view.

Craig, I think what you to drew there was brilliant. I really like the idea of routing animal heat up to the plant and combining that with the rock storage.

I don't know if this is really an answer to your question, but on my 1/4 acre lot I am creating the swales first. Then I'm planting on the berms and structuring everything around that swale shape in the land.

It is appealing in a lot of ways. But how do you keep a yurt warm when we get two weeks of ice storms like last year? Maybe if you had a RMH in each new location that could work.
