On Wednesday we looked at Soils and Water . Two really big subjects, so Mark spent the morning looking at Soils - the basis of food production, and the afternoon on water - the hydrological cycle and the by happy coincidence there was a talk at our local Permaculture meeting on harvesting water around the house and disposal of waste water through grey water systems; composting toilets tanks etc etc. So off we went. It was also a great opportunity for the guys to meet other permaculturists and hear about what's going on in permaculture here in the Hunter.
