The practical field guides and planning notes on this site are offered as general reference material for small-scale growers. These terms describe how the content may be used and where our responsibility ends.
PermaRoot publishes observations, seasonal checklists, and design notes drawn from working homesteads in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. The material is intended to support your own planning and site decisions, not to replace professional agronomic, engineering, or legal advice for your specific property.
You are responsible for assessing your own rainfall pattern, soil type, municipal regulations, and site safety before implementing any system described here. This includes checking local bylaws for greywater use, confirming the placement of swales and trenches away from foundations and services, and verifying that any plants you introduce are suitable for your region.
The guides are provided as-is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee specific yields, water retention results, or plant survival rates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, PermaRoot and its contributors shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or injury arising from the use of, or reliance on, the information published on this site.
You may print or save individual pages for personal reference on your own property. Republishing, reselling, or distributing the guides in any form, whether in print or online, requires prior written permission. Please contact us if you wish to reference the material in a workshop, course, or community publication.
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in the site or applicable law. The current version will always be available on this page, and continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
