I'm in the wet, I mean West, side of Oregon. What I'm really looking for is any element analyses someone has done on typical permaculture elements in their design. You know, the analysis suggested of the characteristics, needs, and outputs of every element in your design...? I started writing up lists of things I have or would like in my design and quickly shot up over a hundred items and am still approaching 200. If people actually do this type of analysis as suggested I was thinking that information should be out there somewhere. I could see it saving dozens of hours in a persons planning phase if they don't have to sit down and think of or research all the elements in their design. Also, as it's hard to find all the information pertinent to what we're trying to do, like what plants are nitrogen fixers, what are water needs, what type of nutrients the plant would provide (in
compost or chop-n-drop), etc.
I understand that part of the element analysis is self-educating, but I can do that education by reading the information in one place more efficiently than if I had to search 50 different resources trying to find the information.
Either nobody does this analysis (and the books I've read are lying), people are hoarding this information and not sharing, or there is a place out there to get this information.
Thanks,
Brian
