[Sdpg] Sdpg Digest, Vol 97, Issue 8

Thu Jan 20 12:52:54 PST 2011

A bucket with sawdust & ash is my preference. I've used one of those giant, 
plastic ones while at an internship, and it was ok. Turning the crank to rotate 
the drum was not difficult, but the unit was large and I couldn't touch the 
ground with my feet :p, but I'm short. I'm not sure how much the "Compost Sure" 
amendments cost, or how the unit would smell if it got warm (it was in an 
unheated room, and it was cold!). It was a tad bit messy, but it was in a barn, 
so no one minded.

 Hope you find something suitable for your purposes.

      Seed School is an innovative 5-day school designed to help 
participants create new regional and sustainable seed production and 
distribution systems. The workshop trains gardeners, farmers, seed 
savers, entrepreneurs, NGOs, policy makers and anyone interested in 
turning the tide on the industrialization of our food and agriculture.

      Many growers are still purchasing one-size-fits-all seed every 
year. They could (and should!) be saving seeds they grow selected for 
the qualities and characteristics that work best for them. Those 
seeds get planted the following year increasing regional adaptability 
and true sustainability. This is diversity at its best. And we all 
know the saying: The strength of any ecosystem is a function of its 
diversity.

      Classroom time in this permaculture inspired program ranges from 
an introduction to genetics to modern database management (for those 
wishing to start a seed business or add a seed component to an 
existing organization). It is balanced with hands-on activities 
including harvesting, processing, germination testing and packaging 
seeds.  Special guest presenters this time include Toby Hemenway and 
Gary Nabhan.  Field trips round out your Seed School experience. Seed 
School takes place in the gorgeous Verde Valley in Arizona.

We would like to hear input from those with experience with composting toilets. 
About to purchase and don't want to make an expensive poor decision.

Thanks all,

I am here to announced that Brad Lancaster will be speaking at San Diego
State University on Wednesday February 9th, 2011 at 5:30pm.  The room is
called Casa Real located in the Aztec Center.  He will talk about water
sustainability in San Diego, rainwater and greywater harvesting.  Engineers
without Borders-SDSU (http://ewb.sdsu.edu) and CASE is sponsoring this event

Brad Lancaster is a dynamic teacher, consultant, and designer of
regenerative systems. He is the author of the award-winning, best-selling
books *Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond*, the information-packed
website www.HarvestingRainwater.com <http://www.harvestingrainwater.com/>,
and the Drops in a Bucket Blog. He lives his talk on an oasis-like eighth of
an acre in downtown Tucson, Arizona, by harvesting over 100,000 gallons of
rainwater a year where just 12 inches per year falls from the sky.

If you have any questions, you can reach me at outreach.ewbsdsu at gmail.com
