Interesting trip today, to a permaculture farmlet in Enfield - hidden away down a little gennel behind a row of typical North London semis - you'd never guess it was there at all. All very interesting - I was especially impressed by the straw bale house and the living willow gazebo; had a lovely munch on the abundant crops of fat hen and radish seed pods.
Tomorrow, I have another another trip; hoping to see some chicken permaculture in action - we are promised a chicken tractor. I'm looking forward to that. Then I might stroll through the park; maybe check out the wonders of Cockfosters. If the weather holds, maybe spend Sunday in the park - this is an old stately pile; Trent park is it's original grounds, complete with statuary and massive cedars and obelisks etc. There's a beautiful Japanese water garden. But I have my weekend project to write up at some stage, and my book and I am well into one of my Moonridge stories now...
Ah me. What a full life I lead. Heh heh heh.

And yeah, compost toilets sound um...unappealing. :o\
Glad you're having fun though!

A chicken tractor is a chicken house on wheels, with no fgloor. You set it down on your land; the chickens scratch up the soil, eat all the weeds n stuff, poop liberally, thus fertilising your soil, then, when their work is done, you pull on the rope and wheel them off to the next bit of your land. All good stuff...
And yeah - oh my! I've been in composting loos before; some are good, some, not so good. This one was very much in the later category with buckets labelled #1s and #2s - in red paint. Dear oh dear oh dear...
And - yeah - I am having SO much fun, thanks!

Thanks for the info on the chickens though. I wondered how on earth they could work with a tractor!

But I am SERIOUSLY having a great time, fire alarms and Other People's weird sanitary arrangements n9otwithstanding. (o:

The chickens sound like fun though... I also had visions of chickens pulling a tractor - I was trying to do the math - how many chickens does it take... *g*

'Poo' - snort! RAOTFL. No, I didn't use it. I was busting, but I just couldn't bring myself to go in there ::VBG::

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend, btw. I just got back after one of our frequent fire-alarms and am now going to have a lovely big glass of red wine. After which all will, hopefully, be well with my world.
