Why Permaculture?

"What permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that

any group is doing on the planet. We don't know what details of a

truly sustainable future are going to be like, but we need options, we

need people experimenting in all kinds of ways and permaculturists are one

of the critical gangs that are doing that." 

 

Dr. David Suzuki, geneticist, broadcaster and international environmental advocate

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the benefits of a management system based in beneficial soil biology from compost. Use less water and reduce your needs for fertilizer! Properly made aerobic compost has thousands of bacterial and fungal species. Aerobic compost added to highly aerated water, held at a desired temperature, with the addition of microbe nutrients that feed and thus select the species of microbes desired for the conditions, makes a highly cultured “brew” full of beneficial fungi and bacteria to apply to the soil. Compost tea makes soil more productive, less toxic and more sustainable.
