Hi again Pakanohida

There are hundreds of thousands of people (probably more) around the world trying to help people, even those they have never met. Helping people is not the exclusive domain of...

Hi again Pakanohida

You certainly have a strong dislike of the University system. A dislike not justified when you consider that the whole permaculture movement owes its existence to the...

Hi Unmutual

May I say that I found your posting quite inspirational! :party:

I am very optimistic that a new sense of realism is taking hold within the permaculture movement and that can only...

Hi Pakanohida

If you’ll forgive the presumption, you appear to be reflecting more upon how you think things should be, rather than how they actually are. However, if you are actually correct, then...

Hi DJ…

A very interesting thread. Many years ago I gained a degree in Ecology and spent many happy years working on various projects, mostly being grant funded by the British Government....

Hi Homeiyi :hi:

Any chance of a photo of the new technique? :)

Thanks

The UK government has just declared that synthetic biology – the science of making novel living organisms – could lead to a new industrial revolution and should be a research priority. Many...

Hi youngwarrior

Many thanks for the two pieces.

Very smooth 8)

Looking back on my original suggestion of Wishmaster, I can see how far removed I am from most of the other postings. :think:...

Hi Permasculptor

Yes, Rakim definitely needs an addiction warning.

It seems to be based around some kind of Mantra/Incantation?

I don’t know if I dare listen to anymore. :(

Hi again Permasculptor.

I can see why the Permie song, however a bit too Sunday-School for my tastes.:angel:

However, I find myself listening increasingly to Rakim.:)

Hi Annette

Nothing quite equals the feeling of exhilaration when it all comes together and works!! :rofl:

Saltwater by Julian Lennon certainly emphasises all the problems of the world and the...

Hi eco, not too tragic I hope? =(

Hey permasculptor, that song is also epic through a pair of reasonable earphones. Definitely one to add to my playlist, thanks. :y:

Come on annette, you’re...

Hi Purecajn

Interesting choice. 8)

I suppose I see Wishmaster as basically contemporary pagan – but then again I’ve spent the last 10 years wondering up and down the French Alpes with a herd of...

Spring officially arrives here in France on the 20th March, not a moment too soon!

After several weeks of sub-zero temperatures, between –10 and –20, depending on day or nighttime, we seem to have...

Hi DJ

I don’t know anything about the by-laws in Australia, however your need to put a roof over the heads of your family, and your preference for an ecological solution struck something of a...

Hi again Pakanohida.

Multiple units of varying sizes and outputs is an excellent idea. One of the principle problems with wind power is the constant variation in output. I had thought of building...

Hi Pakanohida

I’ll see what I can do! The course uses timber frame where possible and you get to wind your own coils and insert your own magnets. With a diameter of 4 metres (about 13 feet)...

Hi Michaelangelic. Many thanks for a reference to a brilliant article. I’ve got a couple of wind turbines running to power batteries for my lighting and electric fencing on my goat farm in the French...

Hi Jeremy

I have a goat farm in the French Alpes and have spent the last year or so trying to find a viable energy system. So far I have a couple of 1kw wind turbines that I put together from...

Oh Markos …………………

If I may quote (or possibly miss-quote, considering the hour of the evening), from Paul’s Letter to the Romans;

“Let all of the poisons that lurk in the mud, hatch out.”
