My first journal entry for my certificate III Permaculture is to do with personal goals in studying and practicing permaculture.
I had been wanting to learn about the subject for the last 2 years though was in the middle of studying fashion design and did not know what to do. So i listened to my parents and completed what i was doing.
Now im on a new venture, one that feels so right. iv not felt this happy ever before. i think its because as humans, we too are living beings as is the micro organisms in the soil and the plants that surround us.
Most people in society have become so disconnected with the world we live IN that we think it is the world we live ON and therefor seperating ourselves from the true natural connection to food, nutrition and environment.
For me this coarse is about learning as much as i can about permaculture principles, landscape design and garden skills so that i can pass them on to a younger generation.
My aim is to complete the coarse with a strong understanding of each aspect of permaculture to be able to teach it to children and enrich their lives as much as mine.
Since starting the coarse 3 weeks ago iv started my own garden along the north side of my rented house which i have planted some shallots, lemon verbena and basil.
The compost seems to be doing well it just needs some worms to help everything breakdown and leave castings.
A bokashi bucket is the next purchase so that our household of 3 can create compost tea to put on the veggie garden when i plant it in the near future.
