Good intro, I don't see any necessary changes.
There's a typo. You wrote: So, what these newcomers did was build a small fort and houses with in the walls of the stockade style fort. This was to keep them save from the “savages”.
It should be: ...SAFE not SAVE from the "savages." Also, as wrong as it seems in this instance with only one word being defined, the period goes inside the quotations. That is, unless you're British and writing in the "Kings Language".
----no I didn't know all of that about quotes, I looked it up.

Dale Hodgins: You said: "Then there are cobras, centipedes and scorpions."

Those three are mostly ground dwellers - at least when they are outside.

You also have to watch for fuzzy friendly looking caterpillars. They climb on tall grasses or low hanging leaves and will cause very painful stings just by brushing against them.

Oh yeah. . . the plants are powerful as well. Always wear protective eye gear when picking Mangoes or Cashews  - or cutting the branches. The sap, which runs freely, will severely burn your skin and can blind an eye.

Welcome to Thailand! (or Cambodia etcetera).

Thanks for the information on the speed of the microbiome. I have following questions but will hold off until I've completely read all of the posts on the other page with your previous information.

Thanks for all of those posts.  

Also, since I haven't yet bought the land I will eventually work with, I can't know what types of soil I'll be dealing with. As my journey continues my questions will go from general to more specific.

I fully expect to give assistance as I gain knowledge and hope it is partially as helpful as what I'm already learning on this forum.

Just as a comment on how far away I am from putting my hands in the soil. I'm in Central Texas, sitting in my home with a for sale sign in the front yard, and doing most of my learning by reading forums, books, and online articles. That also is why other than gratitude, I'm not able to give much in the way of information at this point - nothing much worth anything to give just yet.

It went through this time. Thanks.

Morgan,
Visited your site and think I ordered the video of your upcoming workshop. I seem to be stuck in a loop on the home page so can't tell if the order went through or not.  I'm dedicated to going off grid and using earth to build with so your workshop information will be useful. I'm looking forward to getting it.

A couple questions more than replies.
1. As a total newbie here, I don't know where the series of posts on soil is to be found . . .where is it, are they?
2. If, as the more extreme climate change climatologists suggest, the climate will significantly change in the next decade bringing a much warmer environment north which will change what will grow, will that also change the microbes etcetera in the soil?  If so, can the microbes / soil from a warmer healthy climate today be transported to a newly warmer area?  Basically, it is possible to regenerate the soil for a warmer environment from the past colder locations?

Will you include any information on how well earthbag construction works in the type of underground houses developed by Mike Oehler?  Or how they work in the North East areas such as Washington or Idaho?
