In this episode I discuss my morning routine - I've been asked about it repeatedly for the past year as I coach, consult, and through friends and students. I also delve into WHY my processes and frameworks is different than anything else available - why I include Holistic Management and the Regrarians Platform and more, and then I dive into the 10th chapter of The Permaculture Student 2 - a collection of regenerative solutions.

Show Notes: How will the Advanced Permaculture Certification work? It won’t work like a PDC. It’s not about # of hours you watch a video or listen to lecture or if you can demonstrate learning in a backyard or homestead design on paper. All the instructors, we all want you to LIVE Permaculture inside & outside the garden. It can’t be overnight & we can’t do it ALL alone on a homestead: it has to be a community effort. Have you met folks who are 100% or nearly completely off the grid? They don’t get out much or do much other than work on their homestead. They can’t scale much because they are maintaining so many systems. 
Have you met the inverse? The niche regenerative entrepreneurs? These folks pick a path and master it providing their community with ethical regenerative resources. Jack of all Trades Master of None - I was able to excel in music once I focused on one instrument. Likewise in homesteading, we often stretch ourselves thin and cannot excel at or scale most of our systems. Our Adv C

Why Bother Gardening?

Isn’t it going to be hard to even approach the cost efficiency and quality of store bought products? How can amateurs even compete? Actually, Amateurs lead in terms of growing. Those farmers have to tend acres and acres of food in most instances, so their products don’t get the same amount of individual attention and care. We can improve our soil, plants, and our products much easier because of the size of our systems and the fact that we aren’t making picture perfect foods for a store scenario. A lot of what those farmers grow never makes it to sale - most of their work gets thrown out, not even properly composted and returned to their fields. We always hear about food waste, but think about it from the farmer’s perspective: all that work just to be thrown out? It’s a hard situation and makes it harder for them to care specifically about their crops and plants like home gardeners readily do. You know what I’m talking about: how many times has a gardening friend of yours begged you to

Why do Patterns even Matter? Why is Permaculture Focused on Pattern Literacy? What is a Pattern? Patterns are things that repeat in a predictable way. My Story: Pattern literacy is both basic and foundational, so if you don’t recognize it readily, you can make grievous errors. For example, in my first garden I placed the rows pointed downhill which in a dry hot climate promotes run off, erosion, drying of the land and overall stress in the garden - I didn’t see the overall pattern and how to interact with it so I couldn’t setup my garden properly. As soon as I began studying Permaculture with Geoff Lawton, I quickly recognized my issue and literally tore up my entire spring garden, reset it, and replanted it. How else could I have shown images of the garden to my classmates in Geoff’s course? I had to do it the right way! What other patterns are they? 
Pests are part of a Pattern - just wait a few days and see if something comes to remove them. If your soil, plants, and system are healthy, something will

Think Gardening is Too Expensive? Seed Save, Swap, & Forage - You can take 1 packet and turn it into a gallon of seeds in only a few seasons. Use Free Resources - Craigslist, FreeCycle, NextDoor, etc. Pallets, Fencing, Firewood, Manure, Old/Wet Straw, Plants Use Natural Farming Techniques - Hand tools, Throw Sow, Self Seeders, Simple, Easy, Cheap, & Rhobust Get Connected to your Local Community - Locals help, teach, & share If you think Gardening is expensive, you should see what cancer’s costs are. Our health has no price. Growing a vibrant and diverse garden and food forest are the best defense against sickness, aging, disease, cancer, inflammation, and deficiency that we have. Grow a garden for your Future Care and the care of the earth and all those who rely upon it. Grow Abundantly, Learn Daily, & Live Regeneratively, Matt Powers

10 Keys To A Regenerative 2018 Pt 2 by Matt Powers

The 6 Keys to Winter Gardening Are you intimidated by Winter Gardening? I was, and it held my gardening in the spring and summer back for years. I let the weeds take over every winter thinking I couldn’t garden despite their abundance and growth, and I rationalized that I was letting the land “rest” which is an old paradigm that doesn’t work as it used to because the world has changed. The fallow periods in European fields of the middle ages allowed wild elements from bordering forest and wild pastures to reinoculate their fields and reset them. With our wild systems in stress, distant from most human populations, and in severe decline, we cannot hope for the rest periods to be ones of large regeneration in our fields and gardens. Instead we need to intentionally ramp up the regeneration by wisely choosing to take correct steps to align our systems to nature’s patterns and cycles using permaculture. Once I started using these keys, winter gardening became possible and in many ways EASIER than spring and s
