Talk:Zone (permaculture)

Permaculture Zones by types of tat found
Excuse this non encyclopedic bit, hopefully you'll find it fun, feel free to extend. Tat in an English phase for useful material just on the right side of junk.


 * Zone 0 - the house
 * this is another essay in itself


 * Zone 1 - around the home
 * lost trowel, heavy items awaiting transportation, such as empty gas cylinders or the fork you really should put away


 * zone 2 - veg plot/garden
 * plants pots, a broken rake, more plant pots, slightly rotten garden chairs


 * zone 3 - main crop
 * main tat pile, various items of building materials, broken tractor (fixable), useful bits of metal which may find a uses some day, other bulk storage


 * zone 4 - semi-wild/woodland
 * half roles of fencing, a few scattered fence posts, fencing tools now lost under a pile of brambles, abandoned caravan


 * zone 5 - wilderness
 * a burnt out car, an unidentified object which boggles the mind how it got there in the first place

Zones are not necesarily concentric circles
Can anybody mention this? i don't know how to put it. thanks, -Cacuija (my talk) 05:12, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Name Change Proposal
It seems that textbooks (Mollison) typically view "zones and sectors" as closely related. Thus I propose naming the article

Zones and sectors (permaculture)

If bulk of information accumulates, the articles may be divided.

I will soon proceed unless there is strong opposition.Rickproser (talk) 21:48, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
