PermacultureA presentation of
European Urban Garden Oteshaand Inwole e.V. Potsdam
What is Permaculture ? - the permaculture-design was marked in australia in the 1980s by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren.
- basic principle: ecological, economic and sustainable management of all resources.
- self-sufficiency with a low supply of raw materials, space and time. - rediscovery and use of 'traditional knowledge' of all cultures and linking the two treasures to experience new strategies.
- natural waste prevention, at which the output of a system as Input for the other is used.
Principles of Permaculture
- long-term instead of short-term
- diversity instead of simplicity
- optimize instead of maximize
- cooperation instead of rivalry
Pre-Season
Mini Greenhouse Low-Budget Greenhouse
In the pre-season, the plants may be preferred, for powerfully to thrive in the permaculturebed, later. Also a plan of the bed is useful.
Plan
Paper Pots
The Permaculturebed
- two spades deep and arbitrarily wide pits dig
- wood and branches into, mount up to 1 to 1.5 m high
- about the wood is the excavating, so that the complete
wood under this disappears - about this one comes
Humus layer ca. 10 cm high - the humus or the layers of the earth not condensing over the
wood - seed on the humus saw
Permaculturebed-Making of
The Planting
The Mulches - about the humus and about the seed a thick layer of mulch comes (Sheets from the woods, straw, bark shred, plant remains)
- the floor must always be covered well to the protection from out drying and erosion.
- the Floor quality is by mulches improved TIP ! The mulch
must have a layer thickness of approx 5-7 cm to develop his advantages
straw
barc shreds
plant remains
promote: - the floor life - the reservoir ability of the floor
- the humus content in the ground - the nutrient content in the ground
The Compost
Suitable for the biological degradation:Vegetable waste of every kind from the garden (Planting, leaves, lawn cut, hedge waste and tree cut)
Organic waste of every kind from the household (Flowers, fruit, vegetables, potatoes, bad, coffee-/ tea sentence, eggshells, wood-ashes, paper)
Other organic waste One straw and dung from the small keeping of animals (straw, wood shavings)
- Property/ bed is subdivided into different zones or using areas
- Zones disassociate themselves by the degree of the activity and use
- frequently visited areas in the center, frequented areas more seldom shift, to the outside
- Zones are, however, by interactions in connection so that energy as little as possible must be invested for the preservation, management, care and to reap the fruits of the system
Edge zones at the way: center: out of center: cress carrots pole beans salad dwarf beans potatoes zucchini leek raspberries radish Red cabbage gooseberries onions tomatoes fruit hedge strawberries fennel sunflowers spinach Rhubarb parsley marigolds peppers
The Zones-Concept
The Plants Neighborhoods Why ?
- usage of the beds by high and deep plants
- prevent illnesses and pests- more diversity, plants can
strengthen each other - healthy plants, harvest
suffices- between this, fruit-trees
TIP ! Never reaping everything in the Perma-garden. Always leaving sufficient plants, then they saw off by itself.
