Summary
Paul and others are back at lunch at the PDC, with his big theme being the 2023 Permaculture Technology
Jamboree (PTJ) which is starting soon.
JR Magee is already there ready for PTJ, and will be heading up building a
Sepp Holzer root cellar which they checked out the site for recently.
Next year they will build a Freezer WOFATI, but this year JR wants to build Sepp's design.
Dez who was a
boot for 2 years now has his acre and they mention others who have got their acres.
Paul triumphantly announces that base camp now has almost unlimited
water thanks to a new well.
There are 12 instructors lined up for this year's PTJ.
Paul wants everyone to buy tickets for PTJ NEXT year, so that they can plan better knowing how many people will attend. Also, the new well took a lot of money!
Paul's dream is of a bigger better 30 day PTJ incorporating the SKIP event.
The freezer WOFATI, WOFATI
greenhouse, the next WOFATI house are all mentioned as future projects and Paul later says he wants multiple projects to add even more water.
If the PTJ is successful it
should lead to more boots and more progress. They plan to build more Hügelkutur as the existing ones are great, and Paul is keen to build ponds which can also be used for swimming. They can consider other projects now there is more water.
Paul talks a bit about the fruit
trees which are starting to give fruit, and says they got 200lbs of turnips because someone put seed where they dug to build a new road. Steve arrives and they discuss extensions to the Bob line and adding 2 siblings. This will allow much more shade in summer.
They mention the willow feeder system which Paul says is standing on the shoulders of Jenkins
humanure method and can be improved and expanded.
