Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.

It's Choko season! - Part 2

Project: Permaculture Research Institute Maungaraeeda, Sunshine Coast

Posted by Zaia Kendall about 1 year ago

Once again, the chokos kept piling up on our harvest table. A big bowl of chillies was harvested as well. What to do? ChilliChoko sauce of course…

 

ChilliChoko Sauce, with ingredients Choko and Chillies under the chilli bush in our garden

 

Starting at 8.30 in the morning, I peeled around a dozen chokos, cut the heart out and chopped them into medium size pieces and put them into a large pot. Then I cut the stems off the chillies (a salad bowl full of them), cut them in half and added them to the chokos in the pot. I added about 1/2 a cup of apple cider vinegar, 2 Tbs sea salt and 300 grams of rapadura sugar and added some water to ensure there was enough liquid. I put it onto the hot section of our woodstove and brought it to the boil. After boiling I let it simmer for the remainder of the day. I took it off the heat late afternoon and used a hand blender to blend the sauce with. Then I put it back on low heat.

Before we went to bed that night, we boiled a pot of water and added some glass jars (old tomato paste or jam jars are perfect). We boiled the glass jars and their lids and pulled them out of the boiling water. Then we filled the jars to the top and Tom screwed the lids on tight. We let them sit on the kitchen bench overnight, the lids get sucked in by the vacuum as they cool down and go pop. The first lids started popping before we fell asleep.

The next day we tried some on our eggs. The taste is nice and sweet with a fair bit of bite (but not too much!). The chokos have proved to be a beautiful bulking agent for our chillies!
