Is that a thing and what would it entail?

This year I finally have a substantial enough crop that I could give away some of the fruit with no expectation of reciprocation.

This happened a couple of days ago when a neighbor asked if they could pick some. I'd been meaning to glean this week but I hadn't really taken a serious look at the plants in a minute and there's a lot more fruit on them than I guessed. I've gone straight past, "I'll trade some of these with a neighbor for some vegetables" into "I may have made a mistake".

It's just hitting me now that I finally have too much of something, which has happened on projects I've helped with but never on my property.

Original Title: Eating weeds: how long does an area need to be chemical free to consider the plants edible and safe? In more suburban environments, should we be worrying about what’s under the soil that we don’t know about?

Curious how you all approach the weeds in your own yards, including septic leech fields, borders with neighbors, etc.

Hey y’all!

As some of you may have noticed, there are some new names on the mod team. It appears our last mod went inactive and r/permaculture has been unmoderated for the past 6 months or so. After filing a request for the sub, reddit admins transferred moderation over to u/bitbybitbybitcoin who then fleshed out the mod team with a few of us who had applied back when u/songofnimrodel requested help with moderation. Please bear with us as we get back into the flow of things here.

I do have to say that it seems things have run pretty smoothly here in the absence of an active moderator. We really have a great community here! It does seem like the automod ran a bit wild without human oversight, so if you had posts removed during that period and are unsure why, that’s probably why. In going through reports from that period we did come across a seeming increase in violations of rules 1 and 2 regarding treating others as you’d wish to be treated and regarding making sure self-promotion posts are flagged as such. We’ve fleshed out the rules a bit to try to make them more clear and to keep the community a welcoming one. Please check them out when you have a chance!

THEMED POST DAYS

We’d like to float the idea of a few themed post days to the community and see what y’all think. We’d ask that posts related to the theme contain a brief description of how they fit into the topic. All normal posts would still be allowed and encouraged on any of these days, and posts related to these topics would still be encouraged throughout the week. It’d be a fun way to encourage more participation and engagement across broad themes related to permaculture.

No-Waste Wednesday for all things related to catching and storing energy and waste reduction and management. This could encompass anything from showing off your hugelkulturs to discussing compost; from deep litter animal bedding to preserving your harvests; anything you can think of related to recycling, upcycling, and the broader permaculture principle of produce no waste.

Thirsty Thursday for all things related to water or the lack thereof. Have questions about water catchment systems? Want to show off your ponds or swales? Have you seen a reduced need for irrigation since adopting a certain mulching practice or have a particular issue regarding a lack of water? Thirsty Thursday is a day for all things related to the lifeblood of any ecosystem: water!

Fruit-bearing Fridays for all things that bear fruit. Post your food forests, fruit and nut tree guilds, and anything related to fruit bearing annuals and perennials!

If you have any thoughts, concerns or feedback, please dont hesitate to reach out!

Original Title: I'm losing this fight: 4 years and I after various approaches it keeps coming back twice a year: cutting them short, burning them, pulling from the roots, nothing worked long term. Any other ideas before I fully give up and go for the chemicals? And what is this, btw? I wish it would've been kale...

I know this question is not directly related to the typical permaculture-issues discussed here, but i hope the mods allow it, because it is the permaculture people and their mindset that i want to ask.

i stubled across the map that i linked. in the description it lists the "clean" sources of heat and the dirty ones... where there is wood listed.

and to say this first: i know that burning wood generates more fine particles / emissions / pollution than other sources.

my views/understanding/assumptions:

point 1:

maybe i understand permaculture wrong but i think to be a permanent culture, part of it is that the necessities for human life can be received as local and as autonomous as possible. if humans care for a balanced nature, (basic: plant one tree for each tree cut) the use of firewood is within a pretty safe balance. also looking at co2 if i'm not mistaken, right? it's a cycle then, isn't it?

point 2:

in an apocalyptic scenario or in a perma-scenario (5000 years ago, or 5000 years ahead) many other sources of fuel might not be available - if human cultivates forest, wood will always be there.

it is hard work without nowadays chainsaws, but humanity has proven for many thousand years, that cooking with wood is "easy"/doable, even before any iron tools were available.

point 3:

by the love of the immense universe, you cannot tell me that on the path to the point to have a LPG pipe running into your house, that there hasn't been cubic miles of more pollution and destruction, you need drills, iron, ships to carry it around the world, there have been wars fought over the regions, the whole infrastructure... even "clean" sources like solar power, all the years of development, all the mining, all the materials, even if it is one of the cleanest and most autonomous sources of energy available today, it has a bloodstained history within the dirty capitalistic system of the past 200 years that was necessary for it to be developed. (T.W.Adorno: Es gibt nichts Gutes im Schlechten. = There is no good within the bad.)

and while all that... the trees were just there, waiting. we could have just cut one down and plant a new one and could have saved ourselves from all the s**t that was necessary to have a gas stove or an induction cooking plate.

So in my eyes, trying to make the big calculation, i find no way how anyone can say that any source of heat energy is cleaner, more balanced, more autonomous and more available, more perma than using wood (or dried manure in steppes) as fuel for fire.

THAT BEEING SAID....

is my point of view so wrong? why is this not considered? I respect organisations like the WHO releasing such informations and maps, but i cannot understand how they can only see the super narrow "now"-timeframe window - of cause right now a gas fire has less emissions than a wood fire. but how many emissions were necessary for that nice clean little fire?!

or is my assumption and calculation wrong? and 250 years of industrialisation is cleaner than my wood stove?
