Permaculture Earthworks at Sky Mountain Institute
Increase your knowledge of permaculture earthworks during this hands on 3 day workshop taught by Paul Wheaton. You will be able to watch a raw San Diego hillside side go through a permaculture design process. >From mapping to final construction to planting out of the installations. It will all be done during these 3 days. Currently an estimated 350,000 gallons of runoff water runs down through the property untouched. Some of the earthworks designed and constructed in this class will be placed and designed to alter this erosive overland flow and to maximize water capture and retention in the landscape. Earthworks will be constructed to create cool zones to give plants a reprieve from the hot summer sun and shield them from the local winds. The earthworks will be mulched and the construction of a food forest will take place with the planting of cover crops, fruit trees, and support species trees. Course participants will have the opportunity for hands on participation and to contribute during the design process and work on all of the earthworks
