This is a really great webinar.  So many good ideas in here!







Learn about landscape design for water capture, what and how to plant, how to graze animals, and more, all to help you skip the irrigation, and let the systems maintain themselves.



Here is the thread to learn more:

I am looking forward to "Everything you need to know about raising pigs" from Justin Rhodes!



I wanted to start raising pigs.  I love how they work the land.  

There are a lot of steps I am unfamiliar with though.  

Justin Rhodes has a great way of explaining and making things simple.

"The Planter Shed"



The Planter Shed is a gardening shed and greenhouse rolled into one structure.
There are so many things you could do with this combination.  



I like this idea because the green house will warm the shed a little and the shed will give a bit of thermal mass to the green house.  

Here is the link to see how it works:

All three Twirlybird specials look real informative & practical. I want the them all! Even though I don't have the land for pigs - yet....I especially want the toolshed/greenhouse plans!  There is a worry of mold/mildew growth when attaching a greenhouse to a conventionally built house. But this design has some of the benefits of an attached greenhouse without the downsides. Why didn't I think of it, duh! It's so practical. All your tools close by where you'll be doing the gardening.

Only a few hours left to get the twirlybird goodies!

Here is another of the sweet things you will get at the $100 (glory)  level:





Kids will learn a little about pollinators, gardening and pickles.   A fun book to read aloud.  Full of rhymes and laughs.




Here is the thread!

This is a great one!



Chase Jones was at Wheaton Labs for the Permaculture Design Course
https://wheaton-labs.com/permaculture-design-course/


and the Permaculture Technology Jamboree
https://wheaton-labs.com/permaculture-tech/

He has a profound understanding of the soil environments and I enjoy the way he talks about the soil, how the micro environment works.


In this video he is making compost extract and tells you all about compost tea and some other cool things along the way.




I think this video on its own is worth $100 to support the Kickstarter!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/paulwheaton/low-tech?ref=6yjyr7
The increased yields from following these techniques will easily save you $100 at the grocery store.
