Hey folks! We are developing our permaculture farm here in Wildwood, GA near Chattanooga, TN. My husband and I took a PDC for our honeymoon and we have been hooked ever since. We have been working our 130 acre farm for 4 years and are progressing every day. We have decided, however, that we can't do this alone. We are looking for partnerships. We don't want employees, we want to find some people that have a business they want to run, but just need land. We currently have a huge garden that is set up with swales, rainwater catchment linked into irrigation, a 100ft high tunnel, and tools, we just need someone to run their own business out of it. My husband and I are keeping busy with natural building, pigs, turkeys, 1200 laying hens ranging on pasture in egg mobiles. We also want to become a teaching farm, and we simply can't do it all ourselves.

If this is something that might interest you, please contact us.

Hello folks,
I am new to the forum. My husband and I are permaculture designers and have built composting toilet outhouses before, but now that we are designing our strawbale home, we are seeking some advice about our indoor composting toilet system.

Our home will have a partial second story with the upstairs bathroom stacked above the downstairs bathroom. Our plan was to have a barrel in the basement (or several on a lazy susan) that collects the deposits from the upstairs and main floor bathrooms. We also planned to have a urine diverter as well as a fan and "exhaust" pipe to send odors outside. I would love to hear from people who have an indoor system and how they like it after having lived with it for years? Also, I would love to see photographs or sketches of other people's systems.

Thank you so much for any advice and information.

Sincerely,
Katie
