Summary
Paul Wheaton and
Jocelyn Campbell review the movie, “Permaculture Soil,” with
Geoff Lawton. Paul and Jocelyn thought Geoff did a good job discussing the topic of
weeds as symptoms rather than problems. They think he could have done better talking about
compost, and recommended
Helen Atthowe's approaches. Geoff was into
turning compost a lot, and his system seemed complex and labor intensive. Paul and Jocelyn make reference to the work of
Jean Pain, and using compost for heat and fuel. Paul discusses toxicity and his
concerns with newspaper or cardboard as mulch. He mentions the cardboard-turn-garden project by
Paul Stamets. Paul additionally praises
paddock shift systems, and the use of
Basic H in livestock water once a month.
