Summary

part 2 of a 3 part podcast

45 permaculture solutions.

15. Willow feeder.  Possibly the best way to process your poop! (not a composting toilet!)
16. Dry outhouse.  Same process as the willow feeder, but feeds the trees directly.

17. Never buy chicken feed again.  Planting growies that chickens can self-harvest
18. Solar food dehydrator with rocket assist.  Super-effective food dryer, especially in fall.
19. Cool box.  Insulated cool box which works by running cool spring water through it.  Can be scaled up.

20. Berms and wind.  Create areas of shelter from the wind.  Can also reduce noise from such as roads.
21. Stealth ponds. Dig a pond, fill it with huge rocks.  Water whenever you need it.
22. Natural swimming pool.  Using a reed system to filter pool water instead of chemicals.
23. Paddock shift system.  Cycle livestock through several paddocks, stuff grows better and faster.

24. Mycelium insulation.  Fireproof high quality insulation from spent mycelium after harvesting mushrooms.
25. Sealing a pond without a liner.  Using clay to seal a pond by emulating pigs.
26. Junk pole fences.  Using small trees from forest thinning to make fences, instead of burning them

27. SKIP.  SKills to Inherit Property - Helping to find worthy people to inherit property.
28. Gert.  Gertitude vs farming.  Paul advocates a humble home and a large garden, not a farming mentality.
29. Cleaners you can eat.  People are getting sick from toxic gick in cleaners.
30. Dry stack.  Building dry stacked stone structures.
31. Berm shed.  1500 sq ft shed for $500.  
32. Roundwood timber framing.  Many roundwood projects at the lab.  No glue, no fasteners, just wood.
