So is this supposed to be a fusion of /diy/, /out/, /ck/ and a touch of /an/?

This is exactly the board I wanted to see, but it's new AND dead - half a week with lmaonoposts.

I think with the combination of small total-userbase on fullchan, plus the infinite fracturing of boards into mini boards, we might be better off creating a general on a busier board, instead.

If the board picks up, though, I'll happily post here.
So, to start:

Who cans here? What're you canning, do you have a favorite recipe? I'm making some applesauce in a few days, using an old family recipe.

This isn't about canning, but instead the meta part;

There's a thread about homesteading on >>>/volk/ that never really managed to get off the ground. As the board owner of /volk/ I'd be interested in a friendship of sorts.

I'll post my favourite recipe:

Babby's first homebew

Ingredients:

Rice
Yeast Balls (Asian grocery store will have them, I guarantee it. Just tell them you are making booze)

Howdy /home/steading! purdyboi here, the admin from the newly minted /perma/culture. I created /perma/ as a place to discuss pretty much anything related to efficient, compassionate production: gardening, livestock, shrooms, cooking, preserving, and the like, but also political, economic or even spiritual discussion centered around the permaculture ethics and principles.

Come on over if you're interested!

I'm going to start an information dump here. If you want to ask me questions about the content feel free, but if you want to go into specific depth and explore the finer details of a subject start your own thread.

Feel free to use this as a general dumping ground.

Over a million lbs of food on a few acres. Single pump aquaponics systems. Recycles organic waste from the city and uses it to create compost. The density of innovation happening with this guy.

This is the future of farming.

Swale Mound Becomes Hugelkultur!: http://youtu.be/oTGP8qCWCPk

I'm just going to post a bunch of stuff and hopefully people will wander in and start talking about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%BCgelkultur seems pretty sweet. Anyone have any experience with it? Some people claim you can get away without having to water at all since the rotting wood holds so much moisture, is that bullshit? I'm all for anything that makes for less work, can we really get it down to nothing but planting and harvesting?

You need dew and condensation. It also helps if you have soil structure that retains water well. Sepp Holzer has some good techniques for this. Geoff Lawton utilizes them well in desert areas.

In short it depends on your climate. No you don't need actual rain to "water" your plants. You could also combine a h-culture with swales. Shits cash.

While I think its useful in making poor soil fertile, it looks very resource hungry.
You'd have to add more stuff every few years. It does mention cardboard and kitchen waste can be used though.
I think theres a farmer in australia who uses these things, he was on australian story last year

Resource hungry?

You are going to compost deadwood on a homestead anyway.

You can turn out enough organic matter w/permaculture to consistently use this technique.

Pardon my double post.

So I don't have to submit an image? Strange.

No, it sounds pretty awesome really. Do they have any numbers anywhere about how much fuel it uses? I wonder how small of a land area you could use to grow fuel for it to meet your power needs year round.

To be honest I hardly found anything, not even its price.
