MAKING IT REAL
Through our programs, our aim is to create a diverse, interactive, hands on and exciting learning environment based on dynamic processes and activities, immersing participants in their own permaculture journey.
We have a philosophy at Savour Soil of 'Making it real'.
"I first met Michael around five years ago, when I was getting more involved with my readings around Permaculture. I first enrolled in the 'Permaculture Primer - An Introduction to Permaculture' Course and realized that this was answering a lot of the questions that I had in my mind. Since then I have completed many courses with Michael and he has become a good friend and mentor.
I really do appreciate the time and effort that Michael puts into planning and implementing his courses. They are we’ll structured with well researched information and experience rich.
I would recommend the services and educational courses offered by Savour Soils. I have always come away highly energised and motivated from his workshops!" - John Mitchell

We need to create a vision. We need to change the climate of our minds. We need to rebuild our inner landscapes. We need a positive, solution-focused way of thinking. We need to be inspired, and we have to act. We need to heal ourselves, our landscapes, our relationship with nature and our culture & communities. We need to learn how to reconnect with nature so we can mimic it in the design of our present and our future.

Since the 1980s, the use of plants as "dynamic accumulators" in permaculture design has become a common practice. Across all climatic zones, permaculture practitioners have been talking about the wide variety of plants to accumulate specific nutrients in their foliage. These can apparently be harvested and used as mulch, compost, or homemade liquid teas.
There are many different lists to be found in books and online.
But there is one catch: practically everything we think we know about dynamic accumulators has so far been based on anecdotal evidence.
Come join us, for a one-hour online presentation, on not just what are, but the Myth of Dynamic accumulators.
