Ernie: We do research and appropriate tech courses. best known for rocket mass heater work. probably should go look at our website for more bio info. we don't do farm level permaculture, but i occasionally do wetlands restoration and consult on landscape permaculture.
I learned at cob cottage company from Ianto Evans, Linda Smiley and the many others that came and added to my education while i did my 2 year apprenticeship. So no PDC cause Ianto just doesn’t believe in bits of paper that have no meaning. if you want to know more of what i am capable of you can contact Ianto Evans at www.cobcottage.com.
