How did lawns become so popular and replace productive plots for produce, especially in America? Ben Falk , permaculturist and author of the bestseller “The Resilient Farm and Homestead,” offers his answer to that question in our latest Wise Traditions podcast. He also explains how to listen and learn from the patterns in nature, how to better collaborate with it, why waste—even human waste—is a resource misplaced, and why we shouldn’t build on the most picturesque spot on our property. In addition, he provides an overview of the permaculture zone system and how we can apply it wherever we live as we start to restore the land.
Please note: Dandelions are beneficial for your lawn! Their wide root systems loosens hard-packed soil, aerates the earth and helps reduce erosion. The deep taproot pulls nutrients such as calcium from deep in the soil and makes them available to other plants. They’re there to fix the soil, so to speak.
