Since PEP is Permaculture Experience according to Paul, you could just call yours PEC if you want.

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must:
- post a list of the 12 species of flowering plants you are planting and mention when they bloom
- post a picture that obviously has 200 or more seeds
- post a short video (less that two minutes - sped up) showing these 200 seeds being planted

Mike Jay wrote:Fair enough. I was thinking that if you listed the plants and their bloom time and took a photo of the seeds, you could be trusted to have planted them.

Mike Jay wrote:I'm not sure if this question has been asked yet. What about a situation where you've done a BB in the past, maybe multiple times. Can you just take an "after" picture of the completed item and describe how you did the job to get credit?
For instance, I've installed about 8 faucets in my lifetime. I don't know when the next one will need to be replaced, maybe not for another decade. I could take pics of the last four I did (in my current house and church).

Nicole Alderman wrote:Think about it from a certifiers viewpoint. If you're looking at a picture of something that has already been done, without any pictures of it being done, how do you tell that person did it? For all the certifier can tell, their spouse or friend or hired person (or a previous owner of the land), could have done it. We want to make as sure as we can that the person who's got a badge, actually has those skills.

I only saw one badge that had video requirements. Are there a lot of them? The ones I saw had video OR photos or said: "show XYZ" which could be either video or photos.
