Out on the Land, Permaculture Basics for a Small Farm
Step into natural time on Mayne Island... we will be observing the land and the area as it is in the Islands Trust, and working in a gentle manner. We will talk about somethings, get our hands dirty with others, take some walks and maybe go on a field trip to see a great pond and garden. Land observation and intuitional surveying; keyline dam discussion and exploration; no dig gardens; using wood and organic matter to create a sponge to hold water, eliminating the need for watering; orchard care and maintenance; begining to set up primitive systems; aligning structures for maximum heat gain; and the mulch pit tree system. kids welcome.
Course fee: $75 + 50 for food, includes camping. Other accomodation is available on the island. http://www.mayneislandchamber.ca/
