Permaculture

Today starts my first permaculture design class, PDC, and Merritt College, which is not located near lake merritt but instead in the oakland hills- 54 bus from fruitville bart stop.

the class is full but hopefully they will find a spot for me. here is the info- http://www.merrittlandhort.com/

i am looking forward to it. the biggest issue i see here is that it does not rain in the summer- berkeley has not had any rain since july 1, perhaps even longer. rainwater collecting and storage will be important i imagine.
