Can you let me know if there's 4 DVD's or just 2?

I received two packages, one with my name and address and a second with a different first name (Alvin), same last name and same address.  I don't want to open it if I can forward it within Canada to the real other guy.

I can't figure out which email best to speak with you about this.
Paul, quick question about the tipi offer at the $600 level.

Would that be available before the Oct release and is it for 1 person or a couple?

Just working out plans for a road trip from Canada

David, welcome.. I'm new here too. I think this is my second actual post.

I'm out West in Edmonton and your living next to the sea caught my attention (but primarily it was the BW as I"m about to do the same myself (just looked and no rain for the week though). I put in 110' of hugelkulture beds in my front yard last fall with a rainbarrel overflow swale alongside it. I figure some deep rooted goodness will help anchor the beds in place.

was just reading about sea buckthorn as I'm about to put in a pair myself (1 male, 1 female). They thrive next to the sea and tolerate salty soil quite well. They're grown in Canada so not to worry about that..

From what I understand, there should be a 10% male to female planted.

Awesome berries, super good for you, look amazing and can be used as an animal break too due to the thorns, but I'm totally guessing there.

Alright... first time poster. Been browsing for awhile (and new podcast listener too)

So i'm looking for info about Chicory

I'm putting together a massive change on my corner lot in the city. Front yard hugelkultur, fruit trees and berries. Lots of berries

I'm new to permaculture and quite fascinated. Kinda tracking progress of the transformation on my urban food forest website.

anyway...

I'm looking at guilds. Considering putting in some chicory along with garlic chives, daikon (ravamping a clay soil that held a lawn for an unknown number of years), and comfrey

so I'm trying to determine if chicory is a chop and drop sort of accumulator as well as it's list of other benefits.

can I chop it and have it regrow?

I'm aware of it's ability to self seed if I'm not taking care of it, which further leads me to believe I should chop it.

I mean I'm picking the leaves to eat maybe, so a full chop should be fine.

give it a year to establish first?

so much respect for the knowledge on this site
