[Southern California Permaculture] Space available in LGBTIQ friendly permaculture compound

[Mike Albers]

Good morning-

A room just opened up in our little permaculture compound in Ventura. We
are located in West Ventura 8 blocks from the beach and 8 blocks from
downtown in a friendly little working class neighborhood.

Our small compound is a WWOOF host and has a fair number of folks from all
over the world coming by to laugh and garden. We have avocado, lemon,
orange, persimmon, pomegranate, guava, banana, fig, loquat, mandarin and
cherimoya and passion fruit growing, as well as several garden beds with
the usual tomatoes, artichokes, beets, greens, and garlic. We have bees,
two dogs, a barn owl and a wee possum named Junior. We have had hens and
probably will again soon. Gray water system and rooftop gardening will be
getting underway soon. There is additional garden bed space available
should you be wanting to do your own thing.

Room is approximately 12×12' and has two large windows. House has a claw
foot tub, WiFi, gas range and lots of sofa beds for guests. There are three
houses in the fenced compound and we have a really healthy, fun little
scene. We are mostly vegetarian and completely  LGBTIQ positive. Kids,
couples and friendly non-pitbull/rottweiler dogs are welcome.

Rent is $500 a month plus a share of utilities. Drop me a line if you are
interested and I'll be happy to show you around.

Hello fellow permies,

I write this in hopes of discovering individuals who are enthusiastic and
interested in learning about rainwater catchment systems and the
construction of ferrocement water cisterns. Along with my partner I have
recently launched a fundraising campaign for exactly this kind of project
on an agriculture property just outside of Goleta.

The Goal of this project is to install rain-gutters on one 5,000 square
foot greenhouse and connect them to two newly constructed 10,000 gallon
ferrocement storage tanks.

In the process we will hold several community-based, volunteer-days in
order to provide labor for project installation. These volunteer-days will
rely on the helping hands of those who seek to gain first-hand, practical
experience with the construction of ferrocement water-storage tanks. We
hope that participants are able to gain an understanding of the importance
of utilizing rainwater as a primary water source, and are able to
disseminate this knowledge and their experience throughout the larger
Southern California community.

If this at all sounds like a project you would be interested in please
visit our campaign page, which can be found here:

I should mention that this project will become a reality only if we are
able to raise the required money for materials. To this degree we ask that
you consider donating whatever you are able, and help us spread the word to
others who may have an interest in the project. We appreciate your time and
consideration, and hope that this project is able to become a small
fraction of our community's success in managing our available, fresh-water
supply.

Best regards,
