What Permaculture can do for the land 💫

Permaculture is an approach to land management that uses design principles to help create resilient, regenerative systems resulting in community gardens that improve food security and public health.

This fall I will be helping farmers implement permaculture principles into their farming practices. 👩‍🌾

Clover does more than fill empty spaces in a lawn or meadow. Beneath the soil, it forms a valuable partnership with nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

These bacteria live inside nodules on the clover’s roots. They take nitrogen gas from the atmosphere—a form most plants cannot use—and convert it into nitrogen compounds that support plant growth. In exchange, the clover supplies the bacteria with energy-rich sugars.

The nitrogen first supports the clover itself. It does not simply pour from living roots into the surrounding soil. Instead, much of it becomes available to nearby plants later, when roots, fallen leaves, cuttings, and other plant material break down.

In pastures, grazing animals can speed up the recycling process by returning nutrients through manure. In lawns and gardens, leaving healthy clover clippings in place can also help return nutrients to the soil over time.

How much nitrogen clover contributes depends on growing conditions, soil nitrogen levels, clover density, and management. A strong stand may reduce fertilizer needs, but it should not be treated as a guaranteed replacement in every setting.

What some people dismiss as a w**d can be a useful part of a resilient plant community—quietly capturing nitrogen, supporting soil life, and helping nutrients move through the ecosystem.
