Hi everyone!
I just joined the Permies forum and have been enjoying reading the valuable insights that the group brings. Thank you for creating such a wonderful community.
I recently bought 3 acres of
land in the mountains in San Diego county in Southern California. It is a beautiful piece of land with topography similar to
David Holmgren's Melliodora (At least I think it is). It has gentle sloops mostly, with some flat areas and some steep slope areas. It has a cottage on it and I am planning to build the main house in a year or two. There is a spot that could be turned into a natural
pond. The land has a lot of potential and it deserves to become a beautiful
permaculture paradise!! I have watched hours of
permaculture videos and read a few
books. I could definitely use some help.
I am looking to build something similar to what David built. I considered taking a
PDC course and using my land as the
project for the course and hopefully collaborate with fellow students to come up with the initial design. But I see a few people on the forum suggest hiring a consultant. And I like the rationale. So I am looking to hire a consultant to help me design.
I am open to hiring experienced professionals as well as current or recent students of the
PDC course. I can provide accommodation on the land in an RV while they work on the project. I am also available to work as an assistant to the consultant. What do you think?
Cheers,
Sid
