What is a Permablitz?

Perma – from permaculture, a design system for sustainable living. A permablitz is organised to implement a permaculture design.

Blitz – is the German word for a lightning strike.

A permablitz involves the focused application of energy to install part of a permaculture system. When lightning strikes it heats the air around it making the nitrogen in the air absorbable in water. So the nitrogen dissolves in the rain, which fertilizes the ground where it falls. This is just what a permablitz is designed to do: create a fertile soil where plants can grow.
