Relative Location - Put stuff in the right
place
Permaculture is about design.
How each element in the design works together. To function efficiently,
each design element must be put in the right place (relative
location), i.e., the garden is placed between the house and
the chicken pen, so that garden refuse is collected on the way
to the pen and the chicken manure is easily shoveled into the
garden; trees planted for windbreaks are placed so they deflect
wind but do not shade the house from winter sun, and so on.
Zone planning is placing elements
according to how much we use them or how often we need to service
them. Sectors deal with the natural elements including light,
wind, rain, wildfire, water flow. See Principle
4 for more on Zoning and Sector planning.
