Permaculture Zones

This will be a short post because I spent forever on the graphic.  Ever see a front yard with a nicely landscaped little spot around a bench as far from the door as possible?  That never gets used?  *sigh*  Better to put the stuff you use a lot (or that needs a lot of your attention) closer to where you are a lot, and put the stuff you hardly ever visit way the heck out in the boonies.  Zones do this by radiating out from everyday living space.




Fun Fact: make it even easier on yourself by zoning your Annual Crop gardens.  Put your 'everyday' crops, like beans and strawberries, closer to the front door and the 'dude are they ever going to get ripe' crops such as winter squash and cabbage farther out.
