Hello! Thank you for creating this community. I hope these sort of text discussion posts are okay.
I’d like to know - how do people here practice permaculture? What sort of habits have you created? What sources do you learn from?
I’m a suburb-bound person who is constantly trying to bring more permaculture practices into my life, and spaces that show me what others are doing really help.
I’m currently living in an apartment, so I’m very limited in what I can do. Nonetheless, I have a number of potted plants on my balcony. I first tried growing food lile tomatoes, but it was too much effort for too little payoff. This summer I’m just growing low-maintenance native and naturalized plants that can thrive on neglect: purple prairie clover (for nitrogen fixation), some dandelions that have colonized my pots despite being on a 4th-floor balcony, Utah sweetvetch (also for nitrogen fixation), wild bergamot (for pollinators), and several other unidentified plants that have managed to colonize my pots.
In the near-term future I want to buy some land outside of the city to build a permaculture fish pond, chinampas, and silvopasture.
