Podcast 759 – Permaculture Smackdown 33 – Beyond Organic Eggs – Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul, Rob, and Samantha continue discussing bringing chickens to basecamp. Paul’s not too enthused about getting feral chickens thanks to the neighbour’s toxic gick but up at the labs is a different matter, but electric fence is a complete no-go. Junkpole fences? Absolutely. Support the podcast on Patreon Show notes and discussion More information and discussion of this podcast on this thread at Permies.
Podcast 758 – Permaculture Smackdown 33 – Beyond Organic Eggs – Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul sits down with Rob and Samantha for a smackdown on chickens, why Basecamp went 13 years without them, why they’re coming now, his history with “feral chickens” and how to produce eggs that with a little luck, will be 40x better than store bought, and his plans for a paddock shift system for them.

Podcast 757 – Does a Wofati need Concrete Footings? – Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Todd McDonald’s consultation on the subject of wofati construction continues into more general lessons learned from Paul’s experience with building them, such as paranoia about drainage being a virtue, and making sure they have a toilet system within 100ft, or indoors, ideally.

Podcast 756 – Does a Wofati need Concrete Footings? – Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One Todd McDonald has foolishly parted with actual money to ask Paul about his experiences with building Wofatis, specifically about the weight capacity of the footings and weather he needs to add concrete or “dead men”, as Paul had added to Allerton Abbey to shore up the posts.

Podcast 755 – The Challenges of Building Community – Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
