Hi I soo love this little heater.
I would like to build one for my tent.
Would you be able to provide a drawing of what it looks like inside. How and where is the inside pipe attached.
Thanks so much

Thanks for replies, i have had a close  look and find no bora holes in the trunk of the dead trees, as suggested i can look into taking a soil sample. Thak you again

Thanks Judith, I forget about the time and day of the week, am living quite remote and working and living for/by myself for some months now (not that that should be an excuse for my social skills or lack of). I will use this to practice more patience. Permies.com is a wonderful resource.

Im not sure why there are no comments to this post should I change the subject line? im quite new to gardening and i thought here would be a great place to pose my question as there are alot of knowledgable people here…

My question is in regards to allelopathy. I have just cut out a huge fennel about 2meter high by about 1 meter wide, in fact it was three plants. So i was wondering if this fennel had affected the growth of two trees. One a young avocado, and the other a very well established banana passion fruit vine both dead. The banana passion gave fruit last year. If this is indeed the case that it was the fennel that affected them, does that mean that anything i now plant in that soil will be affected ?  What am i able to plant there, otherwise how can i fix my soil? As i was removing the roots i noticed that there were very few worms 3 or 5. Thanks in advance

Hi and thanks for your input.
I was hoping for a bit more information and some more answers to my question /s.

I really enjoy permies.com its a wonderful resource

Hello I am wanting to build a raised platform for a tent (about 4 square meter). I will use small diameter round poles for the flooring as where I live getting milled timber here is a huge task. I also realize I have to take into consideration the posts to hold up the floor (which I will probably put on stone plinths rather than in the ground as the wood here doesn't do too well in the ground)  for the flex  (how many and how far apart should I place the posts). reason for considering this is the point of my topic, as the floor of the tent platform will be small diameter round poles I wanted to put a layer of limecrete to fashion a flat surface, will this last as a surface or will it wash away when the platform is not in use? even if I incorporated a slight slope for water runoff? and what thickness should it be so as not to crack with hot and cold temps? There is no frost here but we do get a bit of rain and have a mild winter. I have used a cob and concrete mix to encase my fire bath which is in the rain and wet, it holds up well in the weather I may even have to consider this as an option but I wanted more info for the limecrete. (Probably I had better cover it when not in use)

thanks in advance for your help on this wee task.

hello
as and when i have had a spare moment i have jumped online. to my wonder i have found this site http://www.theroundhouse.org/images/2intro/gallery2.htm these are very heavy structures and this site even shows how it is built, tony wrench is teaching how to build round wood henge framed houses with reciprocal roof now on pad stones
here is another site in the uk http://www.wholewoods.co.uk/page.cfm?pageid=ww-traditional-buildings this site shows that reference is available for teaching building techniques on building round structures on pad stones
so i now see the way in which i would like to build my next project, i have started a very simple pencil drawing, but as yet not ready to work with

still dreaming....

terry WoW thanks, it all seems a bit over whelming right now this new language and mathematics, so i'm not in a rush in that aspect and not in a rush in another aspect as i'm currently away from home working. I posted my question hoping that the answer would be easier to understand but i'm glad i posted well in advance of my application to the question.
