🌱✌️ [Permapeople Update #2] New blog post & functionality I am working on
Hey Permapeople,
A lot has happened since the last time I wrote to you. The newsletter got a lot more subscribers, and I am busy working on the platform.
Blog post: Permaculture for the balcony gardeners
I had many good conversations in the last week about what is necessary to get started with permaculture. One feedback was on how to get going when you have minimal growing space available. The good news is: YOU CAN!
I wrote how to get started here: https://permapeople.org/blog/2020/10/12/get-started-with-permaculture-on-a-balcony.html
Also, I added a simple attribute to the database, so you can find plants which grow best in containers here: https://permapeople.org/search?Good+for+containers=true
New functionality on the platform
I am currently working on a few features on the platform. I would be super interested in hearing what you think is most interesting to you. Just reply to this mail. 🤗
- Marketplace to swap/trade/sell plants, seeds, and anything else from your gardens
- Guild planner / Guilds, a way to create and share guilds through the platform
- Social features, watch, follow, vote for plants, lists, guilds, and users
That's it for now. Please reach out to me with questions and feedback. I am particularly interested in what you want to read in this newsletter. I am reading and answering every mail.
Happy contributing 🌱✌️,
Ben
PS: Don't be shy and start contributing. I've created a page with suggestions where plants need love here.
