#solarenergy #solar #shorts I recently visited a shop in Alberta with a low-tech solar heater on the south side of the building. The heater puts out close to 150k BTU/hr which keeps the shop heated 90% of the year without any additional fuel input. On this day this heater was putting out 75C while the outside was less than 5C. --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course Spring & Fall https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

Permaculture Design https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac... Ben Falk takes a philosophical look at permaculture from the perspectives of health, traditions, community, and education regarding regenerative farming. He feels, like many experienced and educated people do, that improved health is one of the main benefits of the permaculture process and lifestyle. He feels that in general, and not for everyone in every part of the world, that in the future it will be harder to stay healthy than to stay fed. Ben addresses the challenges respective of old timers who have farmed the land for decades, and what will happen when they disappear, which is happening at an increasing rate. He also talks about transferring knowledge to kids by getting them out into the field to work alongside their parents and guardians so they can experience what it means first hand, to "make hay" or tend to animals. Ben deftly explores why and how permaculture helps heal the planet, and how we can have a positive impact on climate change by adopting regenerative farming practices. He also explains how permaculture can heal you too! --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course- Starts May 6th, 2023 https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

Verge Permaculture Design Course Registration https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac... - Rob Avis shows us HOW TO GROW Jerusalem Artichokes, and shares a few secrets anyone can use. They are also sometimes referred to as Sunchokes, and are in the Sunflower family. They can grow up to fifteen metric tonnes of tubers per acre, which puts them in a class of their own. They can also produce another fifteen tonnes of stalk and plant matter above ground. Artichokes spread quickly, and some consider them weeds, but in a global food crisis, they are an excellent source when you need bulk fast and cheap. Some people don't like them because they can produce a lot of gas in your gut, and it's not pleasant. Thankfully, Rob also has a solution for anyone with a sensitive gastric tract . Enjoy the video, and the valuable information Rob shares about why these plants are so important in a permaculture landscape. --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course Starts May 6th, 2023 https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac... Rob Avis takes a scathing look at food security and the egg supply chain, and how we are being negatively impacted at an increasing and alarming rate. Society’s egg challenge is similar to the issues of PEAK OIL, PEAK Phosphorous, PEAK Water and Peak Soil, a subject Rob and his partner Michelle have addressed many times. Rob’s contention is that this challenge is not going to go away on its own, and that we, the permaculture community, have to pick up the slack and develop regenerative systems that we can depend upon. To date, governments have not put forth any solutions to deal with these issues, which means it is in each of our domains as individuals and a community to buttress and/or replace the supply chains we depend up for food, energy, water, and shelter. Joel Salatin, on a podcast with Joe Rogan, theorizes that IF one in every three Americans fed their compost to their backyard chickens instead of sending it to landfill, there would be no commercial commodity-based egg industry. Rob addresses a number of unsettling issues about intensive chicken factory farming, and why permaculture is a better solution for everyone including humans, animals, and birds. Rob offers simple solutions to complex FOOD SECURITY challenges that impact everyone. --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course- Starts May 6th, 2023 https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

Rob Avis takes us from the concept stage through to the design process for a permaculture corral that will cost-effectively manage a wide variety of farm animals on his homestead. This video is much more than just a CONCEPT. It’s the actual plan and philosophy that Rob and his team used to design a corral on his 160 acre property in Alberta to house pigs, chickens, ducks, goats, geese, cows, and maybe even sheep. The goal is to build diverse flocks and small herds of animals. Corral construction begins in the spring of 2023. Rob and Michelle’s property is made up of trees, wetlands, pasture, and varied terrain. Rob, an engineer, talks in considerable depth about the philosophy of a permaculture corral on his homestead, and the conflicting and often flawed messages we sometimes hear about food resources. Specifically, why some people believe that we all need to go 100% vegan or adopt an insect diet in order to feed the masses. Rob shares his interesting theory about why this BUG perspective is misplaced. He feels society has “overshot the caring capacity of earth given the current paradigm that we operate under–the industrial paradigm that uses massive amounts of fossil fuel.” Knowing that I won’t have to EAT BUGS to survive in 2030 …gets 2 THUMBS UP from me. To support his argument Rob addresses concepts like the Dyson Sphere, and events like Giga-Famines, et al. https://www.space.com/dyson-sphere.... Rob also talks about how ecosystems function, and how we can learn from them in order to design better systems that negate many of these false memes and issues. He refers to farm animals as transitory collectors of solar energy. He also believes we all need to eat a regenerative diet, and if you don’t know what that means, this is a perfect video for you. Rob is the kind of guy who believes in the permaculture philosophy and lifestyle so much that he makes personal choices every day in order to help move regenerative agriculture forward. When someone possesses his type of commitment, they'll go to the wall, and beyond. And beyond is exactly what the permaculture movement needs in order to affect change. Decades ago Cy Coben wrote, “Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.” The EN Principle - Everybody/Nobody, is pervasive in permaculture too. It’s time …to do, and to follow Rob’s lead. If you really want a different view, and to learn about Rob's very distinctive perspective, sit back, relax, and enjoy. He'll take you on a trip that will change your life. --- EDUCATION --- Permaculture Design Course- Starts May 6th, 2023 https://vergepermaculture.ca/permac...

Carmen's video ... What’s in Your Foodshed? is about eating locally and seasonally from your own garden. Carmen Lamoureux, owner of the Urban Farm School takes us on a wonderful journey and answers fundamental questions, like how to leverage our seasonal abundance. Carmen has great information for everyone, whether you live on a homestead, or have an urban garden, or you grow from containers on a balcony. She shares that the keys to successfully leveraging seasonal abundance and building resilience is about knowing what is available locally and seasonally, and knowing what you can grow yourself. Her advice is to grow your own and keep it simple. She also advises to purchase directly from a local producer, and to buy your food at a local farmer’s market. The key is to stock up on seasonal produce when its abundant. Carmen recommends that you create direct relationships with local producers, and to seek out food co-ops. She also shares evidence that eating seasonally contributes to a healthier, more diverse gut microbiome. In the spring and summer we eat mostly what grows above the ground, and in the fall and winter foods that grow below ground.

The North Wood Cookstove is designed for wood-fired cooking, and is not a certified residential wood heater. According to the manufacturer, all of the materials used to make the stove are 100% recyclable! The firebox is also lined with vermiculite bricks for better heat distribution–Rob will let you in on a little INSIDE about the lining of his stove. Rob and his family have used the stove for almost two years and have put a lot of wood through it. He takes a close look at all the stove’s features and shows us how it all functions, plus, Rob shares his opinion about the design and quality. His model has a secondary air feature that comes in through the back of the stove. When the fire is really blazing, additional air is sucked into the combustion chamber, which helps to re-burn all the gasses. Consequently, it's a very clean burning unit. Rob made a couple of modifications to improve the stove’s operation, so if you’re considering buying a similar unit, make sure you watch the video all the way through–LOTS OF GREAT TIPS AND ADVICE FROM A HOMESTEADING ENGINEER’S PERSPECTIVE! Is it a perfect stove? Watch the video and you tell us in the comment section. If you have a similar cookstove and have done a review, or just have observations, please share!

Rob is Talking Turkey this week. Rob's Top 5 of the Week is partially about his recent return to writing on a daily basis, but it's also, about the crossover between energy and food. Rob shares that the GDP globally is 99% correlated to energy production, and that every calorie of food consumed uses 12-30 calories of hydrocarbons, from production to user. It means that if we have an energy disruption, we're going to have a food disruption. Nate Hagens addresses similar insights with Jason Bradford in a recent podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podca... Rob also quotes Margaret Atwood who wrote, "Monocultures of any kind are vulnerable, because a change of any kind, and you're cooked." Rob shared a bit of wisdom from the highly respected and late, great permaculture pioneer, Bill Mollison too, "The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production." You'll also learn about GIGAFAMINES, and what happens when a billion people die from starvation.
