In which Zach Weiss of Elemental Ecosystems presents on water conservation features and everybody gets to build a pond, plus we smoke meat in a rocket stove kiln.
Day 6 High: We won the prize!
Day 6 Low: The kids REALLY need some attention from their parents.
Extra Cool: I never get tired of cooking things on fire.

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?
We’re at Wheaton Labs for a two week permaculture design course for homesteaders, staying in a pop-up camper and getting our minds blown by the elegance and brilliance of permaculture design. Nick is doing a wrap up/review of the content each day and this is day two.
Nick is pretty new to permaculture. Although Esther has done a lot of reading and put ideas in his ears, these daily reviews will be from the perspective of a beginner getting started in permaculture.
Enjoy!
