Hi Everyone -
Did you miss the talk with Jerome Osentowski last Sunday with his talk
about his newly published book, The Forest Garden Greenhouse?
Below is an excellent short video if you did, or if you were there
but want to review some of the ideas from his talk.
One of the design components that caught all of our attention, but a bit
hard to understand on first hearing, was the Climate Battery™,
the subterranean heating & cooling system design, which he
and his architect partner Michael Thompson with their EcoSystems Design
company developed and are now using for both residential and commercial
greenhouse designs. it's brilliant!
For more than 35 years, Jerome has been diligently working out designs
& permaculture systems for his home & property in Basalt
Colorado, where he grows food at 7200 ft on rocky, bare soils, without
fertilizers. He also mentioned he has the longest running
Permaculture Design Course (PDC) in the world! so a wealth of
knowledge, we are deeply thankful for these pioneers who paved the way
for so much that has come later...
You can purchase The Forest Garden Greenhouse directly from
Jerome's nonprofit CRIMPI, or from Chelsea Green publishers, always
better to support the author, or the publishers committed to
sustainabilty and permaculture, rather than Amazon, no matter what the
cost savings, got to live our values ya know!
