My off-grid home, office and permaculture research and development site In 2016 I moved to live in the Cork Gaeltacht area of Muscraí near my ancestral home in Macroom and established a permaculture design service and a small permaculture research & development site in county Cork, Ireland. With help from friends and neighbours and volunteers we have put permaculture design ideas and methods into practice including: No-dig vegetable growing Rainwater harvesting Stream water abstraction and filtration Drone mapping Fruit tree grafting for nursery establishment Grafting to mature trees Plant propagation from cuttings Seed saving Hot compost Solar PV generation Pig & chicken tractor systems Natural Building Forest garden guilds Sheet mulching Copied to clipboard Practical Solutions Categories Culture and education Health and well-being Land and nature stewardship Type of project Social Physical Elements/Features Alternative energy Community garden Community orchard Compost toilets Farm Forest garden Garden Mob grazing Off grid Woodland Services/Activities Courses Veg Box scheme Volunteering Workshops When the project started 2016 Website permaculturedesign.ie
