    Here are Geoff's posts. They make a nice read for some practical replies to interesting questions.

    https://www.permies.com/forums/posts/listByUser/147243 (hope that's a permanent link)


    There is also some secret thing about to be announced, if you go to this link you can get in on it (I think).

    https://www.permaculture.org.au/permies


    And another podcast from Paul Wheaton interviewing Geoff

    https://www.richsoil.com/permaculture/1898-195-geoff-lawton-on-his-food-forests-dvd/

    And an outline of the podcast

    https://permaculture.org.au/2012/08/15/90-minutes-with-geoff-lawton-podcast/

    The older podcasts with Geoff are worth tracking down too.


    Have to say that everytime I listen to Geoff I think, what a lovely man. He has a degree of social intelligence that is inspiring. Plus all the very cool permie insight. He manages to give Paul a run for his money, but in the kindest way. Thanks to both men for making these talks available.

    Thanks pebble. I'm on a phone and the User link isn't very user-friendly as I have to read pages to find Geoff's posts.

    I watched Paul make a significant fool of himself on a site called Reddit so I'm loathe to give him any unique views. Unfortunately, I have to avoid pretty much all of his stuff. He does a massive amount of work, I do give him credit for that.

    Fair enough ;-) Doesn't that user link just give you a list of the threads (that Geoff replied in)?

    Here is one I found interesting. Someone had asked about mitigating radiation in soil.

    Geoff's reply


    There are some interesting articles on Geoff's US EPA link. Maybe you can get to a computer and look at them?

    Click on the [Go to] link to the right of the thread title. That takes you straight to Geoff's post(s).

    Of all the people out there trying to make a difference, Geoff gives me the most positive vision of the present and future. There is just something so encouraging about his words and manner. He makes me believe it is possible. :)

    Yes. Geoff is great and I like his manner of speaking and 'being'.
