Hello! Thank you for creating this community. I hope these sort of text discussion posts are okay.

I'd like to know - how do people here practice permaculture? What sort of habits have you created? What sources do you learn from?

I'm a suburb-bound person who is constantly trying to bring more permaculture practices into my life, and spaces that show me what others are doing really help.

I also have a small patch to work with and it is so rewarding. I started reading about permaculture because I hated the idea of added npk fertilizers to make plants grow. It felt so unintuitive and daunting to me.

The moment I read about dynamic accumulation, soil life cycles and guilds it was like a bomb went off in my head. I was so excited I had to read everything I could. I love the idea of a mostly closed cycle and reusing as much of what the garden and my kitchen waste could provide.

Same with me! Project Gutenberg has so many gardening e-books about closed cycle farming, they just called it something else in the 1860s🤯

Ooh. Thanks for the steer. I'll bookmark this for the next time I'm looking for some new content.
