Great to see that you are still practicing permaculture here in Ontario, Douglas. 🙂
Douglas Barnes says
I think students are going to like having a course where one of the more difficult elements to design and install is on site and working. We just had an abnormal amount of rain, and the dam on site is functioning better than I had predicted.
