Permaculture Design Course Day 4
The Sunday of the second weekend was mostly spent considering soil.
Firstly it should be known that approximately 50% of a good healthy soil is air and water. Now how much of either is dependant on how recently it has rained and how much and how well drained/draining the soil is. The other 50% is mostly mineral with a degree of organic matter again this is a bit variable again; obviousley Pete has a much higher organic material content, is almost solely organic…

Guerilla Gardenning
There's a particularly bare flower bed outside my appartment, it is seriously depressing, it's about 15 metres long and 40cm wide and is mostly covered in woodchip. After 2 months I found it so depressing that I had to do something about it, so I began planting seeds in paper pots in an attemot to populate the area. 2 French beans and 2 pumpkin plants were the first to be ready (very quick growers) so I snuck out about 10 'o clock and furtively spread my poor little offering over the long…

Ernie Wisner said… Ianto will be pleased. :)
you can build a rocket on any floor that is rated for a water bed with out any structural changes.
that being said it would take some doing to ensure the mass was not to much . for third floor applications i would use a rumford fireplace or pocket rocket if you have a chimney access for your place. not as fuel efficient but it will heat a small apartment quickly and cut down on wood use.
I do understand the land is very hard to get on small islands. this is why i signed into this board, permaculture on an island is very important. getting food and things shipped in is costly so it follows that the less you import the cheaper things can be.

- Ianto is my direct mentor. I did a two year apprenticeship with him and am in contact on a regular basis. so yes ;) I have worked with Ianto and still do several times a year. My focus is rocket mass heaters both in my research and teaching.

hus sain mahmud said… - Dear Mr Alex:
Thank you for yor letter.
I have returned to Karachi Pakistan after 6 weeks in Hertford
(I was residing at 44 Ashbourne Gdns, Mangrvoe Rd, Hertford)
and am pleased that you have unblocked my account
I am disappointed that I could not see Permaculture/agroforestry/organic farming
and other developments or contact anyone in this regard first hand whilst I was there
(disuadded in part by being blocked as soon as I had joined Transition)
but Hope I can discuss all these subjects this with you and others to
gain some knowledge and put into practice
long distance
Thank you
