Hello Friends,
I am also a new to permaculture (actually since about 2 yrs ago) when I stumbled upon the subject while watching random organic farming videos on Youtube. I have lived in the Ozark foothills near Heber Springs for about 15 years now and love being out of the rat race. I have almost 10 acres (zone 7) of semi rocky sandy loam soil with the top soil being only a few inches deep so gardening here has been a big challenge. Luckily I have an unlimited supply of highly composted mulch from two nearby towns. I have been adding that to my garden as well as constructing raised beds out of the compost that I plan to add manure and rock dust to. A food forest is also something that would love to design and start this year. I am really glad that I found this website and hope to get to know you all. I haven't really met anyone in my everyday life that has ever heard of permaculture but love to tell people about it as best as I can. I am very excited about all of this and I want to thank you all for you posts have been a great inspiration to me and some very interesting reading.
Brad
