I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen grew and shared. It was the tastiest fruit I've ever had!
This one is mostly for myself because I highly recommend using this BB tracking spreadsheet and I need a faster way to locate it when I want to share it with potential SKIPpers.

How many seeds should theoretically be in each 1inch seed ball?
How are seed balls planted? carefully or thrown?

I feel like "fresh" in giant red above should be deleted. I also think that the jerky weight should specify fresh weight. Do you agree or did I misunderstand? Thanks!

Alexandra Malecki wrote:A local farm is contracting me to build a Rocket bench in a greenhouse to be used as classroom seating. Given that the greenhouse has a plastic cover, I'm planning for the exhaust to go out the wall like in the classroom at Wheaton labs. I'd like to document this effort for a BB but the BB specifies that the exhaust must go out of the roof. Can this BB be modified to include a wall exit? Thanks!
Referring to https://permies.com/wiki/125880/pep-rocket/Build-Tube-RMH-PEP-BB#999488
paul wheaton wrote:First, the exhaust out the wall in the classroom was, in time, corked and a new exhaust was routed through the roof. While rmh out the wall can work, it has, in my experience, led to a poor draw. Therefore, I think the BB needs to emphasize "vertical exhaust".
At this point in time, I think that the greatest challenge in this BB is the hole through the ceiling and roof. Going through plastic is about 100x easier. Maybe there are things in a greenhouse project that can add that amount of work back in. Do you have a suggestion?

I have a question about why my BB was rejected for "plastic touching food." I thought I was being super careful about not letting anything plastic touch any food and I am not sure where the reviewer saw this in any of my pictures so I cannot figure out what I need to fix.
Could someone please take a look and clarify what needs to be fixed?
Here is my submission: https://permies.com/p/2968054

I have a question about the BB's requiring operating a Rocket Mass Heater.
I don't think this product was available and UL-listed at the time that the BB's were created, but I have a Liberator Rocket Heater installed in my house.
If I want to use this rocket heater for the BB, would I need to install a mass around it or will it work as-is for the BB?
Thanks!
