Permaculture Saves Mankind

Connects us through the soil, the planet we are all dependent on.

We all need healthy food, and permaculture provides not only that, it also prevents soil erosion during heavy rains and floods, reduces draughts, is therapeutic, increases biodiversity, creates new fertile soil, gives animals a peaceful life outdoors, leaves a rich heritage that will sustain and enrich the lives of your children, grandchildren and all the generations to come.

Permaculture provides a system they can build on, requiring minimal maintenance. There is not a single downside to permaculture. It is easy, simple and straightforward, enourages creativity and imagination, it gives purpose to our lives. Almost anyone can do it. It’s beautiful. There are only benefits.

“Habitats having mycelium can support richer biodiversity, and they blossom as mycosystems. The nutrient-return cycles of habitats lacking mycelium are essentially stalled and must be artificially supported using external input (such as fertilizers) to offset their natural deficits. Such artificially supported habitats are prone to disease and are ultimately unsustainable. We must reverse the course of conventional farming practices so that soil is created, not depleted. Mushroom mycelium fulfills this need, providing a balance between input and output of nutrients between the kingdoms. The following sections first address the design and placement of mushroom patches, then discuss some experiments we have conducted pairing mushrooms and plants, and finally consider the use of mycorrhizae. Once you understand each method, you can customize your own combination of methods in order to create the best strategy for your circumstances.” Excerpt From: Paul Stamets. “Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World.”
