This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Commerce

For this BB, you will sell your permaculture labor off-site for at least $500.

What is permaculture work?
Note, this will probably be expanded on later, however, it needs to be something related to permaculture.

creating earthworks

working in a permaculture garden

teaching a permaculture topic

doing a permaculture design

natural building

organizing a permaculture course

woodland care

cooking for a permaculture event

building a rocket mass heater (or rocket something)

converting vehicles to electric or woodgas

setting up willow feeder systems for other people

installing a greywater system with tree crops for someone

To get certified for this BB, post the following:
- a description of your labour and how it relates to permaculture
- Photos of you doing the work
- Proof that you got paid $500 or more (you can smudge out the personal info, so long as it is identifiable as you)

note: this could be several different things that all add up to $500 or more.

Edge case BB submission

I co-own and operate Redtail Edge Design https://www.redtailedge.com
Here is our latest project we are just finishing up. This is a landscape in Ferndale, Washington. My partner and I worked together on this design and project installation management. We started with a concept design and working with feedback from our clients, we developed a master plan. We then contacted landscape installers and hired the best fit for the project. We selected, purchased, delivered, and placed all plants in the landscape. The plant selection is a mix of edibles, no-mow lawn, native plants, medicinal and benefitial wildlife support plants. Below are photos of the design, some of the installed plants, and an invoice with personal info blanked out.

Approved BB submission

I knocked this one out over the last month. I've been teaching some permaculture classes with a friend and the check just arrived in the mail. Lucky for me it was exactly $500. It was a light-duty permaculture design class for people to explore permaculture. I got a couple folks to take a pic as I was inspecting their work during the mapping part of the classes.
