The days are getting longer, and spring is on the way, which means it's time to plan the garden! If you're looking to do something a little different this year, like establishing some low-maintenance and high-producing permaculture food systems, then check out the Permaculture Design Course at permies.com/link/lftn!

Not only will you learn about earthworks, water harvesting, perennial food systems, and so much more, but you can also bundle this PDC with the Appropriate Technology Course so you can learn about rocket heat, solar cooking and preserving, and other amazing technology that will save you money and effort.

Its leaves contain compounds that can have psychotropic and it has gained popularity in the Western world for its potential to help with the management of chronic pain, stress, and anxiety, and some people use it to try to overcome addiction to opioids or to reduce the severity of opioid withdrawal symptoms.
