Tacomepai Permaculture Design Course: July 15th - 28th,November 1st-14th

Tacomepai now offers Permaculture and natural building courses and is aiming to develop other areas of land in the area to promote eduation and better environmental practice.

Come and join us at Tacomepai for our 2 week Permaculture Design Course taught by Sandot Sukkaew and Martijn Ballemans.
During the two weeks we will be learning permaculture design theory in a unique environment which enables us to put our knowledge into practice.
Participants will go over the main topics in Bill Mollisons: Permaculture: a Designers Manual whilst gaining first hand experience of planting, composting and building techniques. The topics are as follows:

1. Philosophies and Ethics underlying permaculture.

2. Basic permaculture principals.

3. Patterns in Nature and how to use that in design.

4. Methods of design. Land surveyance and improvement.

5. Climactic factors. We will cover all the major climates and how to work with them.

6. Natural environments and why we want to mimic their systems.

7. Water: catchment, usage, importance, and conservation.

8. Soil, minerals, microorganisms, building new soil and preventing erosion.

9. Earthworks: how to shape the land to help it achieve the goals we are aiming for.

10. Aquaculture

11. Natural Building

12. Alternative systems: community living and other ways of choosing to live differently that works well for people and the planet.

As well as the theoretical aspect, participants will have the opportunity to do natural building, planting, harvesting and general upkeep of the farm, a bamboo workshop and various trips to the forest.

The cost of the course is 650 USD. This includes accomodation at the farm and food for the two weeks.

We look forward to seeing you in July.

Although steel plays a so important role in modern life, most people know a little about steel some common knowledge. According to the strict definition, steel is defined as: iron as the main element, the carbon content is generally below 2%, and contains other elements of the material. Generally speaking, except the main elements of steel---iron and carbon, there are silicon, manganese, sulfur and phosphorus, and other ingredients to make the steel properties differ.

There are many different kinds of steel by different standard, but now we will talk about a kind of special steel---Angle Iron.
Wha t is the angle iron?
Angle iron is called angle steel, and it is perpendicular to both sides of the long steel angle. There equilateral angle steel and unequal angle of the points. Equilateral angle width equal to two sides. The specifications to side edge width × width × thickness of a few millimeters said. And angle iron according to the different needs of the structure composed of various components of the force, but also can be used for connections between components.

The use of angle iron
Because angle iron is constructed of carbon steel, is a simple cross-section of the steel steel, mainly used in metal structures and plant frameworks. In use require good weldability, deformation properties and good mechanical strength. In additon, angle is widely used in various building structures and engineering structures such as beams, bridges, transmission towers, lifting and transport machinery, ships, industrial furnace, reaction tower, racks and storage containers, etc.

About angle steel prices and import and export

Nowadays, some countries in addtion to import some large steel from Japan or Western Europe, more and more countries begin to import all kinds of small angle steel, medium iron steel and special shape angle iron from China Steel Manufacturers. Because there are many famous China Steel Mills can provide high quality angle steel products with proper prices. Especially, the angle iron prices is always keeping the stable level although the economy of world is many instable factors.

We have located a stunningly beautiful but ecologically/agriculturally depleted area of Bali, on the Bukit Peninsula, which is badly in need of restoration. We're looking for volunteers to come and help us commence this new permaculture project starting from scratch, from disused, trampled dry earth up! Anyone up for a real challenge?

With the entire area sadly earmarked for mainly large scale, inappropriate and destructive tourism development, farming families are gradually being squeezed out of their traditional lands. Many are abandoning traditional farming lifestyles to take up tourism & hospitality jobs, and eventually into more materialistic (and too-often debt-funded) lifestyles. A main aim of our project is to demonstrate the continued viability of traditional family farming, using sustainable, permaculture-based methods, to provide locals with the choice to remain on their lands, and in doing so, to preserve this unique and ecologically fragile corner of the amazing Bukit Peninsula for future generations of Balinese.

Aiming to partner with a local farming family with disused, unproductive land (lots of it here), convert it into a productive family farm and hand it back to them, over a 5 year period. We are currently identifying suitable candidate families and lands, with the project due to commence in mid April 2012.

This is a completely non-profit, self funding, community-based project, that will exist solely on the limited funds typically available to a local farming family, to ensure that it is truly viable for other low income Balinese farmers to adopt the model we create. So we'll be practising and demonstrating only permaculture-based, sustainable farming practises that are appropriate to the socio economic level of typical Balinese farmers.

We have a dire shortage of permaculture volunteers here in Bali. We're looking for enthusiastic volunteers who'd like a challenge, ready to learn by doing, level of experience not important (though we'd love the input of some highly experienced Permaculture teachers too). Be prepared to self fund. As a guide, your financial contribution should not exceed what you would otherwise spend on rent in a cheap surfie dive!

This is a beautiful part of Asia, literally a stone's throw from the most amazing, unspoilt, undeveloped white sand beaches in Bali. But the development pressure is on, and we need to help the locals find alternatives to selling out their land to more hotels, villas, housing estates and roads. Will you come and help us?

Do hands-on projects, face challenging exercises, do a permaculture design, and learn about the many facets of creating a sustainable lifestyle while benefiting the local community and the efforts for sustainability in Bodhgaya. This is a full immersion experience that will change your outlook and your life forever, as you begin to build a life of resiliency.

Using a variety of learning techniques and strategies this course presents Permaculture as an integrated design approach to create sustainable human habitat. Course time will consist of traditional lectures, guest presentations, group discussions, games, exercises, hands-on projects, photos, movies and site visits. While we will focus on land systems, many discussions and examples will be explored of applications in the 'Invisible Structures'. These are the social, cultural, political, and economic structures we create as humans that powerfully shape much of our world today. Not only will the course be about Permaculture, but it will also model it by its structure and the environment we create together during the course.

During the latter part of the course design teams will be formed and given real life design assignments that are relevant to the course venue. The course will culminate with each team giving presentations of their designs to the class and interested local people and groups. These designs will be left with venue to become valuable resources for them. Elements to whole sections of past student designs have been incorporated by many sites were this course has been hosted.

Join this course and be prepared for a life changing experience which will leave you much more prepared to respond to the global changes that are starting to happen with solutions, resiliency, and compassion.

Also on the lookout to participate in any permaculture, organic farming or organic gardening training courses in the region. Can travel.

Also, if there are other permaculturists in the region who want to collaborate to start up a new project, please contact me. I am keen to partner up with others with whom I can share and learn experiences.

If anyone in the region wants to come and be involved in my existing project here up in the highlands of Bali we are looking for others to assist us.

I'm living in Aioi, Hyogo prefecture. Been here about 3 months. Landed a job, so I'll be here for at least a year - trying to establish a network with some permie-minded people. I've met some great Japanese farmers through WWOOFing, but the general populace in the urban area where I live is pretty content to get their nutrients from the local grocery corporations. As I make slow progress with the language, I'm desperate to uncover some information regarding fresh local produce and how to get my hands on it. I'd also like to set up an army of containers for some vegetables for my building, but locating resources is difficult. Anybody having similar problems?

2.To encourage investment in housing in order to achieve a sustained growth of housing stock in the country, and its proper conservation, renovation and up gradation.
3.To create an enabling environment, by eliminating constraints and by developing an efficient and accessible system for the delivery of inputs to maximize housing efforts.
4.To improve the environment of human settlements to raise the quality of life through adequate provision for drinking water, sanitation and other basic services.

The government is now reviewing the National Housing Policy so that it could implement the concept of housing as a basic human right. The private sector is now given more freedom. Thus with respect to the developments in Apartments Kochi is charting a different course. The sincere efforts of the leading builders have helped people with medium incomes to own a roof under their head in the urban areas of the city.

Even then appropriate national housing strategies will have to be evolved and implemented linking shelter and economic development policies, restructuring the housing sector, modifying regulations on building codes, standards and materials, creating incentives to mobilize private sector and financial institutions to invest in low-income housing for the poor, and management of urban lands to enable greater access by the poor for house construction.

I am part of a newly fledged PDC teaching team and we're going to run a PDC in China, preferably Yunnan, sometime in May next year. There are 3 of us, Pascal, who is a diploma holder and Geoffroy and I, who are working on our diplomas, and we taught our first PDC together in Romania in September this year. Pascal and I both lived in Hunan and Yunnan for about five years and now we're looking to return, from France, to start a project together, along with Chen Li, Pascal's wife.

I'm writing this, basically, to try to make some contacts with other permies in China and also to ask if anyone knows of any suitable venues for a PDC. This would preferably be in Yunnan but we're flexible. We're particularly interested in finding a place in which the owners are looking to start, or already have started, a permaculture project or would otherwise somehow benefit from holding a course.

Any advice or contacts would be much appreciated.
