PatternBaseDesign Audit
How complete is your permaculture design? PatternBase scores your garden across biodiversity, water management, soil health, carbon sequestration, and functional layer coverage, then shows you exactly where the gaps are so you know what to improve next.
What gets scored
Biodiversity coverage
How diverse is your species mix? The audit checks plant families, functional roles, and canopy layers to measure whether your design supports a resilient ecosystem, or leans too heavily on a few species.
Functional layer gaps
Every guild needs nitrogen fixers, ground covers, pollinators, and pest confusers. The audit identifies which functional roles are missing so you can fill them before problems emerge.
Water & soil health
Are you capturing enough rainwater? Is your soil organic matter trending up? The audit pulls in your water system data and soil test history to score how well your design manages these fundamentals.
Carbon & productivity
Your garden sequesters carbon and produces food. The audit estimates both, giving you a clear picture of your design's environmental impact alongside its practical output.
Why this matters
Most permaculture designs are built by feel. You plant what seems right and hope the system comes together. That works sometimes, but it also means gaps go unnoticed until something fails: a pest outbreak, poor pollination, or soil that never improves.
The design audit gives you a structured review of your garden before problems show up. It's like having an experienced permaculture consultant look at your design and tell you where to focus next.
