[Pil-pc-oceania] Hemp [not the funny stuff]

        Hi

  Will Hooker's Urban Permaculture Garden
             When we covered the concept of Permaculture here, Warren described it as 'biomimicry for food'. While permaculture can be utilized beyond food production systems (see the Transition Towns movement, for example), it seems fair to say that gardening and agriculture are still a central focus. Will Hooker, Professor of Landscape Design at NC State University, lives on 1/5 of an acre in downtown Raleigh, NC, yet manages to grow a staggering amount of food. Part of his garden design includes an ingenious system for a partially self-feeding, self-cooling chicken run that also supports the rest of the garden. 



  Also regarding Hempcrete, as any one any information on Boltons Hemp house he and Southern Cross Uni built entirely of hemp in Northern N.S.W. a couple of years ago
