Welcome to Section 3: WHEN to do WHAT –  YOUR PERMACULTURE IMPLEMENTATION CALENDAR.

On this page, you’ll get access to custom-made Permaculture Implementation Calendar that shows you the best times to perform each task from the yearly plan and protocols.

This way you’ll have a broad overview of everything that needs to happen and when so that you can be better organized with your limited time and won’t miss out on nature’s deadlines.

Watch the video below to get started.

Video Lesson Summary:

In permaculture farming, there are optimal times for each task on our to-do list. Sometimes all the difference between success and failure is timing. That’s why you want to follow a calendar that has specific start and end dates so that we don’t miss out on nature’s deadlines.

Permaculture Implementation Calendar, the simplified version, shows you the best times to perform each task from the yearly plan and protocols. The full version of the calendar expands on that and covers almost all aspects of permaculture farm establishment and maintenance.

You choose a climate-relevant calendar, make your own editable copy and then you’re ready to use it.

Action Steps:

FULL VERSION OF THE PERMACULTURE IMPLEMENTATION CALENDAR

In addition to the simplified version of the calendar, which focuses on food-growing tasks only, there is a full version of the calendar that has everything on it.

This is a holistic practical permaculture calendar that encompasses all the various aspects of permaculture farm establishment and maintenance.

The full version is super useful as a “forever calendar”, a “dashboard” that gives you a broad overview of everything you need to do on the farm in one place. It’s useful in three scenarios:

(1) First as an overview of the timing of all farm tasks in one place and you use it as-is.

(2) The second is to use it to update the existing simplified calendar.

(3) In addition, it will inspire you to add new things to your own protocols, and, as such, you can use it as a checklist to see what tasks you could add when planning.
