From Introduction to Permaculture, by Bill Mollison %26amp; Reny Mia Slay
* Relative location.
* Each element performs many functions.
* Each important function is supported by many elements.
* Efficient energy planning: zone, sector and slope.
* Using biological resources.
* Cycling of energy, nutrients, resources.
* Small-scale intensive systems; including plant stacking and time stacking.
* Accelerating succession and evolution.
* Diversity; including guilds.
* Edge effects.
* Attitudinal principles: everything works both ways, and permaculture is information and imagination-intensive.
From Permaculture, a Designers%26#039; Manual, by Bill Mollison:
* Work with nature rather than against.
* The problem is the solution.
* Make the least change for the greatest possible effect.
* The yield of a system is theoretically unlimited (or only limited by the imagination and information of the designer).
* Everything gardens (or modifies its environment).
From Permaculture - Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability, by David Holmgren
* Observe and interact. “Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder.”
* Catch and store energy. “Make hay while the sun shines.”
* Obtain a yield. “You can%26#039;t work on an empty stomach.”
* Use and value renewable resources and services. “ Let nature take its course.”
* Produce no waste. “Waste not, want not. A stitch in time saves nine.”
* Design from patterns to details. “Can%26#039;t see the wood for the trees.”
* Integrate rather than segregate. “Many hands make light work.”
* Use small and slow solutions. “The bigger they are, the harder they fall.”
* Use and value diversity. “Don%26#039;t put all your eggs in one basket.”
* Use edges and value the marginal. “Don%26#039;t think you are on the right track just because it is a well-beaten path.”
* Creatively use and respond to change. “Vision is not seeing things as they are but as they will be.” http://www.permaculture.org.uk/mm.asp?mm... -
