DAY 1 Contuniued...

So to finish Day 1 off, after watching me and laughing at my karpiring technique the employees of the Minesterio de Agricultura finally realized that maybe I was serious about my quest to build a permagarden and decided to get their hands dirty and come in and help.

Seeing as for now there is only one hoe, we all had to take turns, but everybody put in a little work, even the woman. And the chakra, I tell you, is a mans world.

It wasn´t to long but we called it quits and decided to take aen extended terere break.

I´ve tried explaining the idea of permaculture to the workers, but I am pretty sure that they still have no idea what I am talking about and probably think I am crazy. But still, they are interested in the idea and told me that next time they will try and bring more hoes so that we can all work together next time.

I am thinking about trying to bring in some outside help and get the jovenes involved. But we will see about that.

Also, the idea of permaculture is fairly new to me. I get the general gist of the idea but when it comes to whats plants need to get planted next to what plants, I am a little bit lost. If anybody knows of any online resources available please let me know or just post it in a comment. My email is cgoss2@gmail.com

thanks
