Keep up the hard work. Even if this bill goes through, you did what you could. I think inviting your representatives to your farm was a good idea.

Hopefully your Senator will reply soon...

Thanks Matto! I'm working on a review/article about Mr. Liu's recent documentary and this will be a useful addition.

I'm glad eisenia fetida is native to Europe.

Still, this doesn't really mean that people in these regions shouldn't use composting worms. If they are actually a serious problem, one could...

I wish I knew the answer! Do you know anyone else in your area growing them? Four years and only a few flowers, that is something else. Perhaps they need something to protect them from cool winds?

With regards to the fires being uncontrollable, how much of this is attributable to the depopulation of rural land?

Would more hands be helpful? 5,000 acres is a heck of a lot of land for a small...

Excellent write ups Excelsior Concordia! I hope to hear more about your developments this year.

Hello from Finland!

Every plant fixes carbon already.

The "need" for pesticides arises from putting too many hosts in close proximity to one another, typically in monocultures. The "need" arises from our belief that...

On cats and birds:

If the study this article talks about is anywhere near correct, 100 million dead birds is an order of magnitude less than reality:



On energy, I'm rooting for Daniel...

According to this slideshow from the Guardian, there is a new cultivation technique in town: layer farming.



Oh? Its a food forest!

Well, whatever they call it, it is awesome to see that...

We bought from them more than once. Nice resealable packaging... but expensive. Moved on to other sources.

Glad I now have a better reason than expense (not that another is needed!).

Have you...

Roy, you said you were unaware of any third world countries putting permaculture (or the techniques that we use in this design system) to use.

Here is a wonderful documentary giving examples.
...

Actually, Roy, I have seen what those fear-mongers have been saying for over six years. And guess what? I think they are full of it.

Do banks and financial groups (including shadow organizations...

but I'm not so sure what that has to do with the discussion.

Big changes are on their way with climate change, biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and all the other just wonderful legacies...

Take two! Let me know if this is too broad as well :)

Geoff: In your recent podcast with the Duke of Permaculture, the two of you began to have a conversation revolving around the application and...

What a rapid turn around time with these questions. Listening now before going to class.

I will rewrite my question and submit it for round 2!

Thank you both for making this happen.

Geoff: In your recent podcast with the Duke of Permaculture, the two of you began to have a conversation revolving around the application and use of swales,...

SOP- noticed that too. The clip of him walking through the garden as the camera takes to the sky or when he steps across the road to a ten year old section of food forest. Positively strident.

Unmutual: Very true!

Farside: very good points. After rereading my posts it looks like I was making mountains out of mole hills. You are absolutely correct that the target audience are those...

SOP-

Its not so much that I didnt enjoy it, personally, it is that I have forwarded the video to friends and family and they have had a negative reaction to the concentration on collapse. I have...

I've watched the video twice now. I really enjoyed the scenes that are probably from the DVDs, such as "Designing a food forest with chickens." He included some of this in the overview of the farm...
