July 15, 2023What Holds You Back?
What Holds You Back? Is it:
An issue of education, such as taking a permaculture design course, a bachelor’s degree, or returning to school as a non-traditional student?
An issue of information, such as the right book or resources that helps make sense of an issue you’re stuck on?
A matter of access to land, whether a garden plot, backyard, homestead, or farm, and trying to find land where you live?
A financial problem, such as having the income to support your work or project while it grows, to rent, lease, or buy land, or acquiring the tools you need to work it?
A technical issue, such as setting up the right business structure for your work, or an on-the-ground problem an expert could help you solve?
A community problem, where you don’t have the folks around you or the right social groups to help you overcome your obstacles?
Let me know by sending me a direct message using the contact form.

In your message, tell me about yourself to the extent you are comfortable, answer as many of the questions as you care to, and, if you’re sharing information about a specific project, be sure to include:
The name of the project.
The names of the founder or leadership team
Contact information, including email, phone, and a website if there is one.
A brief description of what the project does.
A list of the project’s needs.

May 14, 2023 Rammed Earth Construction
My guest today is Tim Krahn, a Canadian engineer, builder, and author of Essential Rammed Earth Construction from New Society Publishers.

Tim joins me to share his thoughts and experiences with rammed earth as a natural building method. This includes the distinction between raw and stabilized rammed earth and how rammed earth can reduce the amount of cement required for a long-lasting wall. Tim also gives an estimate of the price difference between stick-built walls and professionally installed rammed earth, while acknowledging that natural building is a growing but still niche field. We close with a discussion of the importance of valuing our time when considering the cost of erecting a building or other project to come to the real price for any of our work.

You can find his book, Essential Rammed Earth Construction at NewSociety.com.
