Revision as of 18:20, 3 July 2011
Sepp Holzer is a well known permaculturalist whose work is well documented.[verification needed] He developed his style independently from mainstream permaculture, on his fathers property in Austria in the early 1960s As with the permaculture pioneered by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren to ecological patterns. In his youth he began experimenting informally with native plants.
He advocates "Holzer Permaculture" as opposed to "Permaculture." This might be something to do with the tendency of people to say "you can't do that because that isn't permaculture." By saying that what he is doing is "Holzer Permaculture" then he can do what he thinks is best without having to address about the infinite interpretations of the books of others.[verification needed]
Characteristics
Aspects of "Holzer Permaculture" include:
- a focus on the needs of gardening in a cold climate, raising temperatures and creating micro-climates with rocks, ponds and living wind barriers.
- use of animal labor, e.g. using pigs to plow his fields for sowing.
- An extreme use of intercropping method, mixing 30 or more different types of seeds in a bucket and scattering them.
