What Is Permaculture?

One of the latest buzzwords in the English language is permaculture. You may even think that it is something we should all be doing.  Maybe it is not for all of us, but permaculture is certainly something that many of us can do.


What Does Permaculture Mean?


Basically, it means that you grow plants including your own fruit and vegetables all of the time. Fortunately, it is a very simple concept but may include some growing practices that have gone out of fashion.


If you are new to permaculture, words such as crop rotation and polytunnel installation are probably something new to you.


Do you have to have a polytunnel construction in your garden to be part of this latest trend? You don't necessarily, but if you are serious about permaculture, having your own polytunnel installation will help.


Do I Produce Vegetables Just For Myself?


Although most of us start small, there is no reason why your permaculture venture or polytunnel construction can't produce vegetables for others. It all depends on how much space you have available.


If you have a lot of extra space available for a larger polytunnel installation in your garden, you can certainly produce vegetables, herbs and fruit for others. The good thing about a polytunnel construction is that it can grow with you.


When you fancy stepping things up, all you have to do is to get in touch with your polytunnel construction company. In a matter of days, they can add a section to your polytunnel or put up another tunnel.


But, it is a good idea to get used to the concept of permaculture gardening before you go too mad. However, the truth is that you can grow pretty much anything in a polytunnel installation.


Permaculture Is Not Only About Growing Things 


Many who have been into polytunnel gardening for some time do not only grow vegetables in their polytunnels. You can also keep poultry and other small livestock. We are going to talk about the best poultry for polytunnels on another page, but the truth is that chickens love polytunnels.


Of course, you can also grow flowers and many other plants. If you are a keen indoor gardener and your plants are taking over your home, there is no reason why you should not invest in a polytunnel installation.


Most of the houseplants that are popular in the UK, grow very well in a polytunnel installation. If your polytunnel is big enough, you can even have a pop-up shop in your polytunnel. Open it when you have run out of space. See it as an opportunity to introduce new plants and flowers.


So, what are you waiting for? Isn't  it time that you considered investing in a polytunnel installation to maybe even kick start a new exciting business venture?


A polytunnel construction is a great way to expand your hobby and meet new exciting people. What is better than your own fruit, vegetables and eggs?
