Full Permaculture Design Plan

200


200 per package - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 09, 2017

Do you ever wonder why you mow your grass? Is it because you like the look, or because your neighbor pressures you to? Maybe it's because that is just what your parents did so now it's what you do, but you really have no idea why.

Well what if I told you that didn't have to mow your grass every week? What if I told you that you could instead grow food in that space and spend less time on it than you do mowing each year? It's true. With a proper design and diligent planning, you could have a permaculture garden that requires very little upkeep, and will provide you with a steady and reliable food source for as long as you wish.

With this package, you will receive much more than just a consultation or simple plans review. Before beginning my design of your space or property, I will discuss with you what your needs are, and will begin researching your area to precisely identify any climate, drainage, space or special budget considerations.

The design of your space or property will include some general layout options that optimize space and offer efficient use based on proximity to your house. It will offer plant recommendations and many more specific system options such as integrating animals, composting, clean energy creation, water retention and irrigation. I will discuss your options with you and offer my recommendations, but the ultimate implementation of the design will be up to you.

What you receive from me at the end is a deliverable product in the form of a "Permaculture Playbook". This playbook will include all layout options, design considerations, implementation guide, as well as several plant and animal recommendations for you to choose from. I will go through the playbook with you and answer any last questions you may have.

It is possible to feed your family with clean, home-grown food from right in your back yard. Stop spending time and money on making your lawn look pretty, and put it to good use for you and for the planet. No yard is too big or too small to be converted into a beautiful and productive permaculture garden.

Stop mowing, and start growing!

Phil was very helpful and gave me the insights that I need. Phil also has better use of description and articulation than most people I come across du...ring the course of my business and my social forays. It's refreshing to speak with someone who can use more than five or six words to express themselves. I recommend working with this man. He is prompt, courteous, and thoughtful.show more

About Phil Wischmeyer

Hi, my name is Phil Wischmeyer and was born and raised on a farm in rural Ohio. After high school I joined the military and did six years in the Ohio Army National Guard including a tour overseas in I...raq. After completing an associates in Computer Aided Drafting and Design, I began working as a mechanical drafter and stayed in that field for about four years before pursuing local entrepreneurship. I’ve co-owned and operated a collection agency and an artisan bread bakery, as well as worked as a partner and sports writer for the hockey website Along the Boards. Today I live near Indian Lake, OH with my wife and three young children who we are currently homeschooling. We reside on an 11-acre property where we grow many different foods for our family. I am extremely passionate about regenerative agriculture, and self-sufficiency. This passion has led me to start my own edible landscape design business and also serve on the board of a local nonprofit that works to increase the production and access to locally-grown foods. In my spare time I enjoy being outside, being with my family, reading, listening to/playing music and watching television.. If any of my services offered interest you, please don't hesitate to message me. I love helping others as much as I am able. I am usually quick to reply, but I am often busy so if I don’t get right back to you please don’t be discouraged. I will always follow up and reply. I hope to trade with you soon!show more
