Early Understanding
One thing that most folks encounter as they start to practice permaculture is a feeling of being overwhelmed with information. Principles, cycles, patterns, water, earthworks, soil food webs, mycology, natural relationships, and all the other aspects can seem daunting and even scary. This leaves most afraid of getting it wrong and slows or even prevents movement forward. I felt the same way starting out. I felt like I had to do it all right away, the right way, or I would mess it all up and have to start over. What I've learned is that all those feelings are important and are just part of the process. They can either fuel momentum or stall out. What we have to consider is that everything begins and everything ends. I teach to start small so that the mistakes that are made are small. This ensures that we build understanding and allows room for experimentation along the way. Remember that these lessons are a framework, not dogma. Nature abides by it's own rules and follows it's own time line. To work with nature is to work within it's capacity.
