Permaculture: A Quiet Revolution — An Interview with Bill Mollison
Permaculture: A Quiet Revolution — An Interview with Bill Mollison By Scott London Bill Mollison calls himself a field biologist and itinerant teacher. But it would be more accurate to describe him as an instigator. When he published Permaculture One in 1978, he launched an international land-use movement many regard as subversive, even revolutionary. Permaculture — from permanent and agriculture —…

SOILS – PART 2: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SOIL AND SOIL WATER – Pore Size
pore size is probably one of the most important physical features of a soil. It controls water and air movement and storage. Pores come in all sizes, although clays have predominantly small pores, and sands have large pores. An ideal soil condition is one with an equal number of large and small pores. Large pores allow…

Soil Water Dynamics
gold Water dynamics in soil are governed by many factors that change vertically with depth, laterally across landforms and temporally in response to climate (Swarowsky, et al., 2011). This article focuses on soil water dynamics and introduces concepts of soil moisture storage, water flow and the soil properties that influence these processes. The learning objectives discussed…

Overcoming major bottlenecks in aquaponics – A practical approach (summary)
great references on why AP is not good enough – also sectionsonnitratelevels Summary Aquaponics is the combination of fish production in aquaculture and hydroponic (soilless) production of crop plants. Despite of representing already a sustainable, innovative approach for future food production systems, aquaponics are still missing economic success and up to date major bottlenecks were…
