Ep. 93 – How to Avoid Permaculture Type 1 errors with Will Horvath from Permaculture Apprentice

Avoid these Type 1 errors

Will Horvath from PermacultureApprentice.com joins to discuss Permaculture Type 1 Errors – in your design and implementation that you regret. Type 1 errors cost you money, time, and decreased return or increased effort.

Some of the Type 1 errors that we discuss:

  • Install a pond in the wrong location.
  • Using the STUN method on grafted apple trees and most of them fail.
  • Put a garden in poor sun exposure or a frost pocket in a valley.
  • Locating your home, buildings, or access road in a potential flood zone,
  • Dispersed or spread out home or infrastructure – buildings too far apart, too etc. far way from water, etc.

Visit Will Horvath’s Permaculture Apprentice site, with articles and classes on how to assess land and your permaculture property, design your food forest, layout swales on contour, and much more.

Seeds and trees have “memory”. They thrived and reproduced in a certain climate.

Often when you buy chestnut trees or seeds online, you have to buy from nurseries in the Northeast or Southeast US, or the Pacific Northwest.

Take it from us, trees grown in those climates do not do well in Kansas.

Buying from our Kansas homestead, with nut trees grown and adapted to the Midwest, will make them much more likely to be successful on your homestead or in your yard.
