Summary

part 1 of a 3 part podcast

45 permaculture solutions.

Paul presents a revamped version of 45 permaculture solutions, without the original 45 minute time limit, in company with Samantha and Andreas.

1. Rocket mass heaters.  Built in 1-5 days for $100-2000, super cheap heat.
2. Rocket cooktop.  There are 3 at the lab.  Great for off-grid.
3. Rocket Oven.  An efficient solution for baked goods.  Movie: https://wood-oven.net/
4. Rocket Kiln.  Revolutionary wood fired kiln, cheap and clean to run.
5. Lorena.  Rocket stove where the pot fits in the top.  Ultra fast boiling: 5 gallon pot boils in 15 minutes.
6. Rocket water heater.  Best not pressurized due to explosion risk.  Heats up in minutes.

7. WOFATI.  See https://richsoil.com/wofati.jsp.
8. WOFATI.  Woodland Oehler Freaky-cheap Annualized Thermal Inertia.
9. Oehler structure.  The father of the WOFATI!  
10. Truly passive greenhouse.  Didn't freeze when it was 25°F below outside.  Zero energy input.

11. Humus well.  Extracting water from organic matter.
12. Sepp Holzer's spring terrace.  Produces 500 gallons of water per day.
13. Mulch pit.  Grey water processing system, water flows onto around 8ft deep of woodchip.  Willows absorb nutrients from it
14. Hügelkultur.  Essentially, soil on wood.  Done right it's amazing, done wrong it's not hügelkultur.
