Practical Permaculture Jo and Alysse

As part of a homestead, lots of people want to be as self sufficient as possible with their food. But how do we do this? This episode explores how to plan for MAX food production and high yields.

We hope you get some ideas for your patch, and if you have any more ideas please add them in the comments below.

This week we chat about our personal vision statements and our WHY's. This is so important because we (and who we live with) are the core of our homestead or property - This is our Zone 00 and Zone 0. We chat further about what "zones" are and why they are so important. What is your vision and do you come back to it when planning? Have you considered your zones within your land and beyond?

Love the idea of homesteading but think you need land? This mini episode Jo shares what homesteading might look like for different situations and locations.
