Principle 8: INTEGRATE RATHER THAN SEGREGATE
‘Many hands make light work’
For our farm practicum of week 4, we traveled to Marisha Auerbach’s farm, Permaculture Rising. As a group we worked on several projects including sheet mulching the ground beneath and her palleted nursery, splitting wood, relocating a chicken house, working on her bee keeping table, laying sawdust to create paths in the garden, and trimming tree limbs. Student brought cold lunch items to be shared picnic style and we sat around a fire and listened to Marisha talk about how she first got interested in permaculture.
