Agriculture collects solar energy two-dimensionally; but silviculture collects it three dimensionally.

I was surprised at the light touch on grey water.

This makes me realize how much of systems design ultimately requires a shared culture among people living in settlements, and that the management of water, and manipulation of the water cycle for the benefit of all is truly a community affair. I think it is a huge entry point for permaculture design into the mainstream, but requires that Permaculture practitioners up their game (i.e. civil engineering degree).

I have been frustrated by the porosity of our post-glacial soils here in Puget Sound. A few hundred miles south, clay. Here sandy, gravelly, loamy silty, but only rare pockets of clay at the surface. Makes me want to get a soil map and find a clay mine! This leaves liners, bentonite or mass hauling of clay soils. All are expensive and fickle. I wonder what this means for broadscale application of permaculture in my ecoregion? It sure does make greywater even more important.
Cheap efficient tank storage?! Here its plastic, or culvert metal. He mentions concrete molds. I have heard about ferrocement, but tried to find a ferrocement builder for a workshop, and couldn't find a single professional (I was hoping for a boat builder.)

Paul's current profile info indicates a location more specific than the state or city - Google "Puget sound" for the region, within SW Washington State.
