> Following is a note that I wrote to the Permaculture Research Institute
> (PRI) Forum this morning that may be of interest as the recently
> released Permaculture Plants "1983 Bill Mollison PDC" (Stanley Tasmania)
> DVD of mp3's is, in my opinion, an important, if not historic release.
>
> There has been some criticism (juvenile and rediculous in my opinion -
> but hey that's forums!) on the PRI forum of the cost and "late" release
> of this DVD which will bring some context to this note.

> The recently released Permaculture Plants "1983 Bill Mollison PDC"
> (Stanley Tasmania) DVD of mp3's is quite amazing. Now I don't know if
> Jeff Nugent has edited this way or not but the Mollison PDC's of more
> recent years (that I have attended as a student or co-teacher since
> 1995) have been "coloured" with more and more story and anecdote versus
> content. Now this suits some (including myself) as they can read between
> the lines and get something out of this. But from personal communication
> with some students this reduces the experience. All students will have
> similar issues with any teacher I suppose depending on the style of
> learning they get the most from or from the expectations they held prior
> to or take to a course.
>
> In any case here we have a PDC that is absolutely chock-full of
> information - its really quite striking as to the HDD size of this
> bloke....which anyone who has experienced the man himself would agree.
> This DVD is as thick with current Permaculture Design Certificate Course
> curriculum as I have seen.  Certainly with many the vernacular carries
> on and will no doubt ad infinitum....
>
> Just yesterday I was sanding away listening to the aquaculture section
> and learnt more from that about aquaculture than I had from any other
> course I had been along to - the same for chickens and so on and no
> doubt more to come. I could say the same pretty well everything else on
> this DVD that I have listened to so far.
>
> My only gripe is that I am now up to number 27 of 59 so I am nearly half
> way and quite frankly I will want some more!!! Though that said I will
> most certainly go thru the thing with a pad next time and start to
> develop some new material for my own teaching.
>
> So I too would have loved to have had this in 1993 when I did my first
> PDC and subsequently went full-time as a Permaculture professional but
> that's not the case so that's life - at least we have it for now. Bill
> took years to write the Permaculture Designers Manual (as do many
> authors!) - its funny listening to his pre-sales banter and sales
> pitching throughout this DVD as part of its constant colour.
>
> I could go on but will say to people wholeheartedly that this tape
> should be purchased along with your Holmgren and Mollison and Yeomans
> etc books that you have bought so far. Forget about the cost - it is
> really incidental when it comes to the value you will get from this.
> Apart from that - it is a seriously long time to listen to something -
> Reading the PDM took me about the same amount of time and that was
> taking notes all the way.
>
> I would go as much to say that I have got more out of this than most of
> the books in my library and I will continue to.
>
> So thanks Jeff and I hope that the rest of your Mollison library will be
> out there before too long.....
>
> Now I just need it translated into Vietnamese and Spanish!!!

> After some encouragement from Darren Doherty of Australia Felix
> Permaculture, Our employee, Laura, made our Sustainable Landscape manual
> into an ebook. The Landscape is Changing is now available for purchase
> through our paypal-enabled web site. This manual spends a fair amount of
> time on tools, planning and installation methods that are efficient and
> fast. It will form a good foundation for readers and doers for our next
> manual. If you have any problems accessing our site please let us know:

> We are working on another book entitled Permaculture for Cold Climates,
> and it will be available as an ebook in late winter. We've dug out all
> of our old photos of construction of the masonry fireplace, the brick
> oven, the wood fired grill, perennial fruits and vegetables and
> countless other projects to share with you in that manual.
>
> Recently, we had a 2500 gal. concrete tank delivered for rainwater
> cistern use. Our plan is to also solar heat this water. We'll keep you
> posted.
