I plan to be there.  When Paul talks, some will listen!!  I'm one of those people.  I can't say that I agree with everything that Paul has to say, but I still enjoy his talks!!!

Peace

This will be a great one!  





What amendments have you used?   What kinds of mulches?  


Have you had successes or failures?  What have you learned?

OK, for those of you who may not know, during one of Paul's presentations if he says "someone check my math on this" Don't, the guy is an engineer.  The concept or approach may be proven to be wrong (at some point), but the MATH will be correct!!

Just a little heads up.


Peace

I was brave, or maybe foolish, enough to do this once. Sometimes the maths itself is correct while some of the inputs or assumptions are a bit off - calories per acre confusion
