Michael says:

For years we had been harvesting nuts from the Morris Orchard which was owned by an elderly couple and when they chose to sell we stepped right in to help preserve this very special place.  We have now been approved for a 7.5 acre natural burial ground that spans parts of a 60 year old chestnut grove, a 25 year old black walnut and pecan grove, and a majestic meadow that is soon to become an orchard too.

Yury Smirnov wrote:I have got 56 USD of affiliate earnings at the moment.
Can I use it to pay $35 to get the whole bundle for myself?
Please let me know how can I do that?

Hi Yury!  This should now be sorted. It's not something you can do yourself – we have to fiddle with some switches back here in the Permies' cupboard, but I think I've successfully done that now.

- I've given you access to the Permaculture Adventure Bundle.
- I've deducted $35 from your affiliate earnings as they were yet to be paid out to you.

So that should be all good – let me know if you have any dramas

I just watched this excellent short film by The Weedy Garden of a day in the life of Geoff.  Wanted to share with you guys:

In this comprehensive webinar, Natalie Bogwalker, the visionary behind Wild Abundance, details the background, pros, and cons of 9 different earthen wall systems: adobe, rammed earth, cob, earthbag, slip straw, hempcrete, log, cordwood, and strawbale.  Natalie has experimented with what kinds of natural building techniques really work, and she shares all that wisdom about where, when, and why to use each one with you.

Who is Wild Abundance?

Natalie and her team of instructors at Wild Abundance bring together the worlds of natural building and tiny house building that you can’t find anywhere else. This webinar is only a small slice of the 10 modules that are included in her online class, Tiny House Academy.
The comprehensive online program is like a perfectly organized toolbox that’s full to the brim! It covers: tool use and construction basics, natural building techniques well-suited for tiny houses, systems like electrical and plumbing, and how to save money on your build. You’ll learn how to design your tiny house, decide whether to build on wheels or on a foundation, what regulatory constraints may apply to you, and more. Plus, you’ll get a clear understanding of energy-efficient options like passive solar design and solar electric. The basic steps of how to build a house are the same, no matter its size. We explain and demystify this process so that you can truly understand and feel confident embarking on your own build.
