Not sure you really want any sort of response to this other than FREAKING COOL!!! Can't wait to see your work.

I've come up with a design that I hereby dub: the low tech shippable core. I've run it by E&E and Kit is working up some drawings. Kit will do some tests soon and I'm ordering in materials to build a few. I feel confident that this will work really well.
The question of the moment is: for those coming to the workshop, do you want to build one of these to take home?..... .... are folks interested in this being part of a workshop?



Disclaimer: I live in Australia, and am not/cannot attend the workshop. BUT: whilst I'm still making my way through the 4 DVD's this approach of yours sounds brilliant for those of us a long way away from any workshop providers.
I guess I'm asking: PLEASE include it in the workshop, PLEASE video it - even quick and dirty youtube/paywall, and please make the low-tech approach available somehow so we can do it via distance.
Thank you!

Hey there,

I've seen this post discussing Paul's suggestions of pigs to seal a leaking dam. I have a friend whose geese sealed a new smallish pond over the space of a year, but I'm interested to know if pretty much any animal's manure/weight are able to seal a pond, or other considerations...

I'm guessing my rabbits aren't going to do such a good job of compaction... but how about horses/cattle/goats/chickens even?....

Also: does the steepness of the sides of the dam make an impact there? I'm imagining few cattle wanting to stand on the side of a steep slope to do their thing... Thanks for your time.
