Today we continue our Deep Dive series on the 12 foundational principles of permaculture.

In this episode we take a deeper look at Principle #5: Use And Value Nature's Gifts / Collaborate With Succession / Work With Nature, Not Against It. There are numerous different ways this principle is written, and we'll explore the nuance of all three of the most common versions, as well as what you can specifically look for in your landscape and within your unique context to better align your design and management of your homestead with natural pattern, and how you can both increase your harvestable yields while expending less energy to do so!

We're starting to get to the point where all of the preceding principles are indivisibly linked to each additional one. Indeed, its almost like they all function together somehow to create hyper-functional systems - i.e. natural ecosystems!
