Importance of zoning in permaculture as arranger of all elements in system accords with level of care and interrelations.
A well-designed permaculture system features little effort in maintenance.

Bruce Charles "Bill" Mollison (May 4, 1928-September 24, 2016) and David Holmgren (born 1955) are credited with coining the word "permaculture" for the ecologically- and environmentally-designed agricultural system that they founded.

Claire Gregory's suburban permaculture garden in Sheffield, UK

Comments
NanciArvizu, Thank! Me too, I like the attractive, convenient, logical organization of permaculture's space. The Bloom and Boehnlein book is a one-stop shop, time-saving merger of helpful images and information.
Great article, information and inspiration. I love the garden plan, and especially the picture of the gardener yard surrounded by the non-Gardner yard. A hidden gem.
sandyspider, I like the plan, too. It's not that difficult and it's particularly fun when all or most of the neighborhood turns it into a community-wide plan.
I do like this plan for gardening.
frankbeswick, Thank you! Looks like metal-detecting on the Wash won't be high on my list of treasure hunts ;-D!
If there were any remaining treasure it would be claimed by the crown. Hidden rooms would imply stone buildings, such as abbeys,castles and churches. The castles are generally in ruins and the abbeys are gone, so there are not many places left.
CruiseReady, This book is excellent in examples and explanations as well as illustrations and images. It's sturdy since it survives my moving it on and off the shelf many times throughout the month.
Zones 0 - 2/3 can work on not that much land. It's putting into effect Zones 3/4 onward that may be tricky, but not if neighbors are involved.
frankbeswick, Melted down undoubtedly means that it cannot be traced. But I wonder if some of that treasure remained as is to be admired by a few any time they were feeling particularly ornery against Normans and Plantagenets.
Is it possible that there are hidden rooms -- as during the Armada -- or underground tunnels -- as in "Skyfall" ;-] -- where treasures could be hidden for almost 1,000 years now?
This would sure be a nice plan to follow if you have a bit of land.
There is no record of the treasure's having been found, but considering that the Anglo-Saxons responded to the Norman conquest with a plague of theft from their masters, it is well possible that some enterprising Englishman found and took the treasure,melted it down and none were the wiser.
