Free Reading Material For PDC - great for People New to Permaculture

The permaculture design institute has TONS of free reading material for those of you who are new to Permaculture. I'm still new, only been at this for a year. At the bottom of the page of this link there are a few Bill Mollison pamphlets that I have already read and am going to re-read. His writing can be a bit difficult to get through but there are some real nuggets of information in there - that's why I'm re-reading them. I may have missed something the first time.

I have already given up taking a PDC on the east coast that deals with my climate - all of the instructors that I want to take from are on the west coast. So I have been looking a lot at Scott Pittman. I have noticed that he posts a lot of reading material that he wants you to have read before you come to class. I have already gotten quite a lot out of reading these 'freebies'.

Here is a link Reading Materials

I downloaded most of it to my laptop to read while waiting for appointments, lag time at work, or while hubby is watching TV. ( I just put on my headphones to drown out the TV)

I have decided to start implementing each item in the permaculture techniques pamphlet that is on the first four pages; using it kind of like a checklist. My first project is the stawbox of potatoes. Mollison recommends it for those who have small gardens - my garden is not small BUT I like the idea of a handy box right in my zone 1.

I have posted the directions on a community page on FB - you shouldn't have to log in to see it. It is the May 17the project. Project for May 17, 2012

First project completed. Strawbox of potatoes. Now on to the next.
