I am fairly new to permaculture so basically I probably can't tell you much.
Except references. Bill Mollison has worked extensively overseas
introducing permaculture and has videos out on it. Either put out by
Australian Broadcastion Commission or the BBC. Also there are numerous
books on the subject.
Basic principles are : companion planting - planting plants together that
help each other and also that keep pests away. also about why weed - weeds
can provide excellent protection for the soil. also about rotation and
leaving beds fallow and also not planting the same veg/plant in the same
place next season- some plants take up x nutrient from the soil and others
like y nutrient.
Goodluck and you don't need sheep. Although ducks or geese can be good for
keeping snails down but not near your lettuce.
peace
Kylie
