2022 Permaculture Technology Jamboree: June 27th-July 8th, Wheaton Labs

Jacob setting the record straight on bees.

I love this bee hive carved out of a log!  Thanks to Jason for giving a great evening presentation about bees!

Paul blows minds and directs efforts towards a novel stratification kiln module for the 8 inch rocket engine built by uncle mud and company.

Hanging with homies on the caldera.

Opalyn Rose's demonstration on a Spinning Wheel made from bike parts.
This style of spinning wheel, similar to the Great Wheel, is what she used to show the twist entering fiber, which were wound onto the spindle, which will be followed by the last step of plying multiple strands into yarn.

Chase Jones doing a compost extract demo to be used as a "soil drench" for inoculating the hugelkulture beds with the full soil food web!

Alan, Jim, et al look for Waterus wildus.

Jacob Wustner raising a buzz and Bee-ing real with PTJ crew of 2022! Jacob explained the process of how he maintains an Un-treated Bee-hive and displayed an example of how the Honey Bees structure their hives when following his procedure. The "Top Bar Style" Bee Hive is nested in a log that was up-cycled and built on site at Wheaton labs!

The modular rocket engine kiln attachment is being assembled by a diligent team of kilted metal workers.

Stratification kiln firing underway

Cone 10 firing with a 6" rocket, success!

The week can be summed up in one word, POSITIVITY.  Such great vibes.
