North County San Diego CRFG presents:

Replacing Irrigation with Permaculture by Paul Wheaton

September 7, 2012 at Oceanside Public Library

 

Oceanside, CA – The
colorful and dynamic permaculture guru, Paul Wheaton, will present “Replacing
Irrigation with Permaculture,” Friday, September 7, 2012 at the Oceanside
Public Library.  Doors open at 6:45PM and
the presentation will begin at 7:00PM.  Wheaton
will be in town as part of his “Symphonies in Seed and Soil Tour” of the West
Coast.

Whether
you have some water to play with or your land is bone dry, Paul Wheaton will
walk through how to convert a dried patch of dirt into a lush jungle of crops
and forage without any irrigation. The presentation will cover a range of
techniques for making use of the water that falls from the sky, but will also
provide an understanding of how simple micro-climates can be created and
enhanced to preserve and produce additional water. Some of the methods
discussed include maximizing edge effect, planting trees (the right kind and right
technique), digging swales, using rocks, creating hugelkultur beds and more.

Paul
Wheaton is a larger-than-life character and writer who is the operator of permies.com,
a forum to discuss all things permaculture, and who also publishes hundreds of
podcasts and YouTube videos. He is a Master Gardener, permaculture designer and
a java software engineer.

This
Paul Wheaton evening is a fundraiser presented by CRFG, a 501(c) non-profit
dedicated to sharing and growing knowledge about growing non-native and
non-commercially grown fruit.  Admission
is $5.00, all proceeds will benefit the North County San Diego CRFG Chapter.
