Episode notes
You don't hear this permaculture message very often: Start Simple.
Usually people are watching videos of Geoff Lawton and planning swales and dams and grafting, and...
Cormac Harkin of Vine Permaculture starts his consults with basic questions:
- What do you like to eat?
- What kind of time do you have during the week to devote to a garden. (if you spend 8 hours a week on a garden, where does that time come from?)
- When you walk out to your garden, what does it look like?
He starts people out simply, with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), and then add on from there.
- A salad garden by the back door with cut and come again lettuce.
- A kitchen garden.
