Permaculture Design Principles Journey into Permaculture

This episode covers Permaculture Principles by David Holmgren's book "Permaculture: Principles and Pathways beyond Sustainability". Another form of Permaculture Principles can be found in Bill Mollison's "Introduction to Permaculture" and. Also mentioned are the Design Considerations from Bill Mollison found within "Permaculture: A Designers' Manual". Also mentioned in the description, Will Hooker's augmented permaculture principles (NC State University Permaculture Class/Lecture series). His Permaculture Principle version combines both David and Bill's principles.
Permaculture: Principles and Pathways beyond Sustainability by David Holmgren:
Observe & InteractCatch & Store EnergyObtain a yieldApply self-regulation and accept feedbackUse & Value Renewable Resources & ServicesProduce no wasteDesign from patterns to detailsIntegrate rather than segregateUse Small & Slow SolutionsUse & Value DiversityUse Edges & Value the MarginalCreatively use & Respond to change

Permaculture Principles found within Introduction to Permaculture by Bill Mollison:
Relative locationEach element performs many functionsEach important function is supported by many elementsEfficient energy planningUse biological resourcesEnergy cyclingSmall scale intensive systemsAccelerating succession & evolutionDiversityEdge Effects
Design Considerations:
Work with nature, rather than against itThe problem is the solutionMake the least change for the greatest possible effectThe yield of a system is theoretically unlimitedEverything gardens
