Some permaculture Ideas for the selection of your new property

The priorities for choosing a site:
1. A likeable community with whom I could feel a useful and valued part. Choose a site within a community that values it natural environment.
2. Subtropical or temperate site with minimal frost, preferably in good rainfall area unless you enjoy dry climate.
3. A slope that faces the morning sun or you will be faced with many more problems than you may bargain for (including hot wind, hot sun, slower plant growth etc).
4. Good soil or at least clay soil.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS: existing canopy trees, as in our system we bought an old orchard (though this could harbour hazardous chemical residues, check the soil first)
A site that is not too far from other people, and public transport for reduced reliance on you motorcar. Most other features including improved soil by good water management, you can build yourself.
