Tir Penrhos Isaf Permaculture Design.

Above is the design we produced for the 1991 planning application. The coloured boxes to the lower left relate to the permaculture zones as follows:

I: home garden. Here, closest to the (proposed) dwelling, our design is strongest.

II: orchards of hard and soft fruits and berry crops.

III: main crop. In our case, mainly livestock systems. Some of these areas were left blank at first and became taken up in later years with our horse training enterprise (the two small paddocks to the right of the dwelling area).

IV: fuel and fodder systems. Specifically, the green represents largely tree based resources, the purple shows what I called perennial graze/browse systems made up of scrub and in particular gorse.

V: wilderness or the university. This is where nature's design is strongest. This is where we learn.
