What is Permaculture?
Table of Contents
Working with nature rather than against it is the basis of permaculture agriculture.
Promaculture aims to create a self-sufficient, sustainable environment that fulfills its requirements forever.
Permaculture integrates human activity with natural cycles to reduce external inputs.
Key Principles
Some key principles of permaculture include utilizing natural pest control methods, actively composting to recycle nutrients, strategically interplanting crops to maximize space and resources, and recycling water and nutrients within the system so nothing is wasted.
Applying these techniques to cannabis cultivation promotes healthier soil, more efficient water use, and natural pest management, resulting in higher-quality cannabis grown in an ethical, eco-friendly manner.
Application
Various permaculture practices such as cover cropping, companion planting, and vermicomposting can be incorporated into both indoor and outdoor marijuana grows.
Using permaculture principles minimizes the need for artificial fertilizers, pesticides, and intensive labor.
For a more holistic approach to agriculture, permaculture considers how all ecosystem aspects may work together.
