So cool that you have this knowledge before starting your build! You are leaps and bounds ahead of most who just build based on aesthetics! My husband took a Permaculture course while we were still living in California, but we moved shortly thereafter and are still in the very early stages with the new homestead, but hoping to get more done this year now that our house is almost done!

I wish whoever designed the main road where we live (it is NOT county maintained) had designed it better, we have terrible mud holes and with an old truck, well, it's like a bad chiropractic appointment if you try to drive more than 10 mph!
