Hey everyone
I have been trying to model my three lot space after permaculture but not sure if I'm doing it right always but constantly learning and adjusting. I would love to organize and host a PDC but would need an instructor and instruction on what this would all entail as I have not taken the course. I am in central Alberta and would love any input and advice on this matter. Thanks

Awsome, my neighbour is an older man who is an avid fisherman and we often trade, fish for veggies.
One animal that requires no licence to hunt (were I live), and is very abundant is pigion. A lot of people think this seems gross but many many old farmers I know ate it often through the thirties as a wild meat, I have eaten many, although you don't get a huge amount of meat it is very good, I prefer it in a stew personally.

A green house is definatly on my want list. Thanks for the suggestions on thaw areas, very good information! I have an area against my deck that gets a lot of heat and I using it for tomatoes and peppers, I have had some of the best tomato crops in town! I believe the dark paint on the deck seems to help hold the heat.
