Urban Permaculture - a consultation followup 3 years later.

Today we visit a permaculture design from 3 years ago, and see how it's coming along.Show more

I find that often in these design projects, a major goal is what I call "HOA Subterfuge". I.e. putting aesthetics at the forefront of a design. Just because permaculture CAN look wild, doesn't mean that it has to look disorganized. Often, your neighbours don't so much hate "wild look" as much as they just don't want a place to look like neglect. Often, "contained wild" is what you want to go for, as that will be accepted.

Many of my videos are from my own food forest. I live on 4 acres just outside of the suburbs. Often I will get comments from people in more urban/suburban settings about what they can do. I hope today's video gives a glimpse into that, and maybe gives people some ideas on things they can incorporate into their own designs.

Although the neighbourhood here is very Urban, the size of the lot is arguably more suburban. A big thing about living in Suburban areas is how to do the permaculture thing without "upsetting" people who see "normal" as grass and boxwoods.

I hope you enjoy.
