Outdoor Classrooms: A Handbook for School Gardens by Carolyn Nuttall and Janet Millington This book is ideal for teachers and home educators who want to incorporate outdoor education at all levels of the school curriculum.Given that the average European child now spends 90% of their life inside, outdoor classrooms are becoming ever more vital in our schools.
Outdoor Classrooms will show you how to: set up vegetable gardensteach children about growing foodbring food security into the curriculumintroduce the concepts of human and planetary healthexplore the subject of sustainability within a practical framework. Beautifully illustrated throughout, Outdoor Classrooms – A Handbook for School Gardens is presented as two streams of thought: Carolyn Nuttall takes us through the history of school gardens and articulates the need for a revival, before leading our journey into the fanciful; a schoolyard to fire a child’s imagination and delight in the natural world.
Permaculture Research Digest. New School Permaculture: The robot that selects tomatoes. Ajipa/Ahipa (Yam Bean, Andean Jicama) (Pachyrhizus ahipa) There’s precious little written about the Ahipa (also known as the Ajipa).
I’m not even sure where I first heard of it. I managed to get some seeds from Bolivia last year, and we planted half of them in the kitchen garden. They grew fabulously, and I have fallen in love with this delicious, tuber-producing plant. The envelope that carried the seeds to us, all the way from South America. Overview Scientific name: Pachyrhizus ahipa Also known as: Ajipa (a-hee-pa), Yam Bean, Andean Jicama, Andean Yam Bean, (South) American Yam BeanLight: Full sun; Ahipa isn’t dependent on day-length, unlike its cousin the JicamaHeight: Low-growing, non-vining (unlike its cousins the Jicama and Goitenyo); 1-2 foot tall, erect or semi-erectSoil: Ahipa will grow in almost any soil, largely due to its ability to fix nitrogen and enrich the soil it grows in.
Description Ahipa is in the Fabaceae family, also known as the bean, pea, or legume family. Permaculture Inner-circle Elite (PIE) (tinkering forum at permies) All of the video from Permaculture Voices 1, 2 and 3.
I think that for the first year after PV1, you could get all of the video from PV1 for something like $300. And now, through a lot of discussion with Diego, we have all of the video from PV1, PV2 and PV3 for $165 in the PIE stuff. The offer is for the next 72 hours. Once you buy, you can take all the months and years you need to watch all of these videos. Just to give you an idea, here is a list of the presentations for PV1: Stacking Functions: Increasing Yields & Decreasing Labor with Multi-Function Elements. You don’t have to buy into any woo-woo-ology or being “green” to reap the benefits of some of the concepts to come out of environmentally friendly growing methods and lifestyles.
In fact, some once would have just been considered common sense. Stacking functions is one of those. Stacking functions is a quick term for the concept of planning things (elements) and areas (space) to perform the most services for us. It’s reusing things as many times as possible to get the most out of our inputs. In permaculture, we really like multi-purpose items (stacked functions) because they increase our efficient use of a space, decrease our labor, and make it easier to gain resiliency by having multiple items that perform each function. Permaculture Plants: Hog Peanut. Common Name: Hog Peanut, American Wild Peanut Scientific Name:Amphicarpaea bracteataFamily: Fabaceae (the Legume or Bean or Pea family) The Hog Peanut has had very little development.
Description: This North American native plant is one of the rare shade-tolerant nitrogen-fixers. It can be used as a groundcover, has two types of edible seeds, and has edible roots. The Hog Peanut fills a niche in the Forest Garden and is likely going to be a very popular plant in the future. History: Native to central and eastern North America, the Hog Peanut has had almost no development. Hog Peanut is unique in that it produces two different types of seeds. The Permaculture Podcast. This is a list of permaculture, gardening, and influential resources that I have read or had recommended to me.
It is long but by no means exhaustive and serveral go far beyond our need to design to investigate larger systemic social and cultural issues. I include those here because of the way that permaculture principles might be applied to designing a way past them.

Alors qu’est ce que La Permaculture? · Permaculture. Je m’appelle Steve Read et ça fait maintenant 16 ans que je pratique la Permaculture (PmC), J’ai fait un stage de 72 heures au Pays de Galles et deux ans après je suis retourné sur le lieu pour obtenir mon Diplôme de Permaculture Design (DipPermDes) devenir un professionnel. En commençant à Londres j’ai acquis beaucoup d’expérience dans les domaines de création de micro-communités urbaines (SEL, Panier de produits Bio, production de nourriture dans les régions urbanisées etc …). J’ai déménagé pour développer un projet dans la campagne sur un terrain de 9 Ha dont les objectifs étaient: la production de fruits et légumes pour alimenter les systèmes de Panier que nous avions créés à Londres, l’éco-habitation, la régénération rurale et la re-création des liens entre la ville et la campagne.
Pendant ce temps, j’ai aussi voyagé pas mal pour enseigner et pour aider des projets en Afrique et ailleurs en Europe. Cela fait maintenant 8 ans que nous sommes en France. Fence and Garden. Permaculture « 1+1=salade ? J’aimerais dans cet article résumer ce que j’ai pu écrire précédemment sur les avantages d’un certain type d’élevage, et rajouter quelques nouveaux éléments, pour la plupart empruntés au livre Meat, a Benign Extravagance de Simon Fairlie.
Ce billet ne concerne pas le véganisme, mais comme je veux montrer l’intérêt et les conséquences de l’élevage, il est utile de voir ce qui se passerait dans un monde sans élevage. L'arpent nourricier.
