Goals

Here's a list of goals for both the garden and home, which should increasingly function as an integrated unit.

Garden goals

• The garden should eventually be closed-loop, with little to no external inputs
• The garden should produce a significant percentage of our food
• The garden should be a beautiful site and a joy to be in

Energy goals

• We should produce as much of our own energy (heat and electric) as possible
• We should use as little water as possible, with locally-appropriate plants/trees, mulch, personal habits, and appliances
• We should funnel as many outputs as possible back into the home or garden as new inputs

People goals

• We should share our seeds, plants, and harvests with people
• We should share our knowledge and help people create their own permaculture abundance
• We should learn from others with an open mind, incorporating strategies into our own evolving system
