Since the Steem blockchain became a centralized, top-down dominated place, where control and censorship thrive, I have decided to move my content. Don't worry, though, all my posts and up and doing well on the decentralized Hive blockchain. Come and check it out!

Millison had the best quotes! This is a great explenination of permiculture integration principles. Well done!

Thank you. I want to cover them all... and then some. :-)

That was such a cool post. To be honest I never heard the word Permaculture before. There should be easier ways to achieve integration, and use it to our advantage

Cheers, great content. You have a new follower here!

Awesome @juaca7777! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Oh, Permaculture... my passion. This is probably a really good post to start with, because it grabs it by its essence: philosophical (or ethical) concepts derived from following natural patterns, primarily intended for sustainable agriculture, but can be applied socially just as well. Take a look at my other posts discussing them!

I really enjoyed this post. Excellent narrative. I've often been perturbed by how humans deal with unwanted animals and pests. Everything affects everything.

Slightly off topic, but your post made me think about it. Often bears are shot simply because one was spotted near a camp. I think it's the WORST THING EVER. first of all if you're going to" camp" maybe actually camp so you aren't attracting bears to your area. Bears don't Just come up trying to kill you for no reason... and they eat more plants Than i think most people realize.

Same thing with snakes. Especially in the south, lots of people are just killing snakes because they "might be poisonous "
Again they're not in your environment they're a part of it. They don't go around biting humans unless provoked

Right, bull snakes actually out-compete rattlers, so killing them is counterproductive. As for the bears... who's invading whose territory anyway? So sad! Reminds me of that meme with the shark and diver: the deadliest creature ever... next to a great white shark. Thanks for the great comment.

So true about the sharks too.

Wonderful post! Thank you so much for the time in putting it together. I love the idea of everything balancing its self out on a farm. A good big picture article.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Interesting view point, really a paradigm shift for me: do not try to remove slugs, but add ducks. Makes sense!

Oh, it feels so nice to read your comment! Because THAT is exactly what permaculture is all about: building relationships where each element supports each other. Feel free to check out my other posts on this topic.

Wow what a thought prevoking piece of writing, really enjoye reading that! What you are saying is we need to all find our duck to eat the annoying people in our lives.. I get it now. :) Just joking that really was a great read. Thanks for sharing.

Well, that's nature's lesson for us: If you don't have too much else to offer, you could always become duck food.

Been looking for some easy permaculture intros so thanks for this, will have a read at the other links. Upvoted & followed!
