...Meanwhile, I'd like to wrap up this year's GAMCOD project with a handful of words and insights I gleaned from the process. Here's the last video entry for this year's go at the GAMCOD. Enjoy!

I'm glad to have some solid evidence that permaculture really works. Talk the talk and walk the walk.

Hi Stephen

My initial though is that you haven't allowed any space around the hugels for access. If you allowed say 4' alongside each hugel (enough to run a smallish cart up between them to aid with a more effortless harvest), that would change your width to 12', so 300sqft, reducing your full acre output to 2,986,836.6 Cals. Not sure if this sounds more realistic...

Edit - it appears my thoughts have already been raised by others in a different time zone (pathetic excuse for not reading other comments first!)

Surfs up space ponies, I'm making gravy without this lumpy, tiny ad:
