Design Principles• Make connections.
• Catch and store energy and materials.
• Stack functions.
• Make the least change for the greatest effect.
• Use small-scale, intensive systems. OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY 13

Design Aims:• Grow as much food as possible
• Provide food and habitat for beneficial critter friends
• Waste is put back into the system
• Build soil and store water
• Go with the flow (the problem is the solution!)
• Soil, sun, water, plants, wildlife…

Dynamic Accumulators
Fact or Fiction?
What we do know:• Phytoaccumulation does happen
What we don’t know:• If the plant will make those minerals
available to the soil and if they do, how long will it take?
