Usually, chickens aren't too keen on eating slugs. But with a little training, that problem can be solved. http://www.youtube.com/paulwheaton12#p/u/0/xtcD2RcVgrk

A friend saw the video from two days ago and emailed me to say that he made something like that ten years ago. And here is a video of his ten year old hugelkultur bed: http://www.youtube.com/paulwheaton12#p/u/0/lWaEEdB6GZM

hugelkultur in florida: it is gonna decompose about five to twenty times faster in florida than in montana. hugelkultur in a pit: Yes, that is how it is more frequently done. However, with the bed being so tall, there are a lot of other perks such as a longer growing season as the growies...

This is a short video from a workshop two weeks ago. The general idea is that if you build your raised bed with a lot of wood in it, you should be able to go the whole summer without irrigating or fertilizing. http://www.youtube.com/paulwheaton12#p/u/0/sp_IObIkInQ

Put down lots of diatomaceous earth at the base of your plants. That kills the ants without killing the bugs that like to eat aphids.

Another Mike Oehler creation. This one is called "the sleeper". Mike if famous for his $50 and up underground house book. This house is an above ground earth berm house. Very small, but a family of three did live in the house recently for 18 months. There are cedar trees growing out of the...

Different folks clean the ashes in different ways. Some it is once every ten burns, and some it is every burn. Usually, you just reach down and grab a handful. Some people choose to use a shop vac. soot: I don't think any of that is soot. Nor is it falling. That was there before from...

My latest invention: a portable(ish) rocket mass heater. Complete with a time lapse demo burn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bsUd5zLcLw You can find all of my videos at: http://www.youtube.com/paulwheaton12

I feel like I have accomplished something. Two days ago, my life was riddled with folks insisting that any dishwasher used less water than washing dishes by hand and, to them, it was absolute fact that would never change. And now, while there are folks that have other reasons why they use...

That's pretty much it. Rinse water helps to fill the wash tub.

Three times in the last 24 hours I was told that it is absolute fact that dishwashers use less water. And when I try to explain how I think I use less water than a dishwasher .... well, my message doesn't get though. So I made this video in a feeble attempt to express myself...

The bad audio has been mitigated by adding text annotations throughout. Here is another video that is from the same workshop - check out the visual on the smoke reburn! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpCu7aG3fgI

Thanks for the welcome! I've been popping out here from time to time for a while now.

I uploaded this new video just minutes ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9ZdKdhKfcw

I'm gonna finish building my rocket mass heater tomorrow. A slight variation of the rocket stove.

Yes! When I took the video they had been on the ground about a day.

Greed cedar? I've never heard of that. I was thinking it was common western red cedar. There were three really sickly trees all in a bunch.

Thanks and thanks! :)

And that is the exact fuel that gets me to take the time to keep on doing it! The wacky thing is that I had no idea how folks split rails/posts until I saw this done. And then once I saw it, it was a powerful "well DUH!" moment. Thanks! I've been learning that that sort of thing really helps!

Oh yeah .... If folks would rate it five stars, comment on it (even just "thanks" helps) and subscribe to me on youtube, that helps me out. Thanks!
