Q&A: Beginner Mistakes (#1)

About this episode

Scott Mann discusses common mistakes beginners make in permaculture design and how to avoid them.

Today, I want to talk about another question from Owen: "What are some common mistakes beginners make in permaculture design, and how can they be avoided?" The thoughts shared in this episode are only one perspecitve, my own. I'd love to hear other ideas on the need to slow down when practicing permaculture, so reach out if you'd like to share how you would do things differently.Text: 717-827-6266Send me an email: show@thepermaculturepodcast.comOr stop by thepermaculturepodcast.com, click on Contact, and send me a direct message.
