Ep# 36- Planning for your why (Vision statement) and considering permaculture "zones"
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?
