Here I am interviewed (in the midst of a "National Alert" no less) by Jesse Tack on the Permaculture Institute of North America's YouTube channel in a video titled "PINA Wisdom Story: The Life and Times of a Permaculture Wizard."
Afterwards, Jesse wrote to me and said, "It was a really pleasure to get to know you and I will never forget the
Bill Mollison in a huge pickle barrel story! You also seeded quite a few ideas for me to plant within PINA."
It's about an hour and a half and starts at 9 minutes, 30 seconds into the video.
We will build and plant a hugelkultur as well as examine recently built ones. The workshop will include touring 3 properties with a dozen hugelkulturs built over the last 4 years. From gigantic scale built with excavators to small backyard scale built by hand. This class is ourdoors, be prepared for the weather.
In this video, Skeeter describes Hugelkultur variations "Barkakultur," a Hugel made with tree bark and "Sodakultur," one made from sod and early spring weeds.
Permaculturist Michael Pilarski talks about his first year hugelkultur diversified planting near Port Townsend, Washington. He also gives a mini-tour of the garden while in the process of mulching with "hogfuel," a 50-50 mix of bark and wood chips. Filmed June 15, 2017.
A few comments by Michael Pilarski, Friends of the Trees Society.
