Go to YouTube, type in the word permaculture and spend as much time as you have to watch video after video. This is a world-wide course given for free by OSU, and it is so important. It is especially relevant to my living space at present; a pine grove, at the top of a hill. There is no need to try to tame the nature, [you have already heard my rant re the lawn/grass] but I would like to work with what is here. If I end up staying here indefinitely there will have to be a permaculture plan put into place. In addition to that I would build [well someone else would do the digging] an organic pool: http://organicpools.co.uk. Would be a dream come true… again.
