Podcast 665 – Molly Mac’s Consultation
Paul’s latest victim is Molly Mac and her 1.5 acre peninsula in Massachusetts. It’s a windy place but has plenty of various trees and an overall shape that’s not good for berms, so hugelkultur it is! There’s even a convenient space for a Rocket Mass Heater. Support the podcast on Patreon Show notes and discussion […]

Podcast 661 – Bonnie Bassan’s Consultation – Part 1
Paul has a new victim in the form of Bonnie Bassan and her roughly half acre New Mexico property. The place has a lot of clay, 10″ of precipitation, and a lot of wind. Sounds like a perfect place for Hugelkultur, just needs a bit of irrigation for a while to build the soil. Support […]

Kundenrezensionen
Up and personal with the bad boy of permaculture
I like to keep up with Paul's projects in Missoula and hear his take on various permaculture and organic gardening techniques. Apart from just knowledge content he and his accomplices share there interpersonal experience of what worked and what didn't on Paul's ranch. Paul regularly has entrepreneurs from the permaculture world in for interviews. It is always exciting because every now and then they are at odd to each other one this or that subject and this allows more insight.
One thing I'd like to constructively criticize: I believe Paul once said in regards to his DVD projects that a crystal clear sound is more important than high definition video. (If it wasn't him, it was George Lucas, anyway). The audio on the podcasts is often the quality of an 1950s phone conversation. (not that I lived in that area, but that's what I imagine it to have been like, anyway). Increase audio quality and you are golden (in my book). Cheers
