I'll be showing movies about the mighty Sepp Holzer at the library. The first two will be on thursday, feb 25 and the second two will be on march 4.
Each movie is a half hour long. And there will be a half hour of Q&A after each movie. And if there isn't enough Q's for me to give A's, then I'll have a list of pontifications to fill that half hour ready to go. Folks attending would probably want to come up with Q's.
Thanks for the reply to the question of time of showing, & nope I'm not from new west I have an independent Community centered FREE website. Open to the public for access to web 2.0 stuff.
Where does Sepp Holzer have his farm? Maybe I missed it in the linked page. You said he grows citrus where its 20-30 below zero!? I think I'll have to check out this video show.
He is in austria. In the alps. He is about the same lattitude as missoula and a higher elevation. He has a little more rainfall and is slightly warmer.

Well, he is at the same latitude as us, so it would be identical to us. But I suppose cloud cover could be different. Since they have slightly more rainfall, I would guess that they have slightly more cloudcover.
Paul, Are the two showings of the same two films, or different films? I can't make the 25th, so am wondering if I can catch the same films on the 5th or if it's a continuation.
Yep, cloud cover is what I was thinking about. I'm actually surprised that Missoula has less cloud cover. lol Maybe I just grew up in a place with a lot of sunshine through Winter and I thought that was normal.

Two films on the first night. Two different films on the second night.
the 25th conflicts with a Northside/Westside neighborhood meeting - I would like to be at both (but obviously can't) Would you consider a re-showing of those films?
Paul, Did you post on www.missoulaevents.net (not missoulaareaevents...). Also posters at a few coffee shops downtown and on campus might not be the worst idea, if you have 1/2 an hour to scoot around stapling them up. Don't quite know how public radio announcements work, but that might be an option for the one on March 4th. I think their website has info on how to post with them. www.mtpr.org
It's on missoulaevents and several on-line calendars. Flyers are up at several coffeshops and other places. the local radio stations (and newspapers and tv stations) have been sent multiple press releases.
"Farming with Nature" plus "Terraces and Hugelkultur"
For over 40 years, Sepp Holzer has developed a model permaculture farm in the Austrian Alps at 4,500 ft. in a climate very similar to what we experience here in Missoula. On his land, he has created a self-sustaining landscape of abundant vegetables, fruit trees, herbs, mushrooms, pork, poultry, and even citrus without the need for irrigation, pesticides, or weeding. Using ecological relationships and cycles that replace the traditional work of the Western farmer, Holzer stands at the forefront of advancing permaculture practices in a way that minimizes labor input, while providing an ideal environment for soil stewardship, abundant food production, and economic resilience.
Paul Wheaton will show two 30-minute videos highlighting the many cutting-edge and sustainable features of the Sepp Holzer farm, each followed by a 30-minute discussion, question and answer session about how to apply these same principles here in Missoula or elsewhere.
Thursday, January 6th, 6:00 Human Resource Council Bldg, 316 N 3rd St., Hamilton.
