6:19 QUESTION What are my rights for developing water bodies?
12:16 QUESTION: Do you know any general information around pipeline right of ways?
13:49 QUESTION:We discovered our septic pipes were not buried deep enough, leading to freezing and causing our tank to leak near the house. I'm curious if this issue is common and whether it's advisable to plant near a septic tank, as I was planning a garden in that area. Considering a perennial flower bed for pollinators, I wonder if the leakage will impact the plants' survival.
21:13 QUESTION:Could you review my site's water collection plan and suggest improvements, as indicated by the pink highlights on my map?
42:29 QUESTION: You mentioned biodynamic gardening and I read briefly about it. I am interested in biodynamic planting schedules /calendars only. Do you have any suggestions for where I can get a calendar?
44:30 QUESTION: Thank you for the hugelkultur videos. They were very helpful. In one of the videos there were fruit trees planted with rocks. Can you explain that a little bit more?
46:03 QUESTION: I'm removing a pine tree near my house and plan to repurpose it into mulch and 2-foot sections for raised beds or terracing; can the mulch be used immediately, considering pine's terpenes, and is fresh pine unsuitable for hugelkultur?
48:18 QUESTION: Could I build a hugelkultur bed on top of soil that has lead contamination, and would I be able to safely grow edible crops atop the hugelkultur?
51:50 QUESTION:Is there a minimum recommended size for a hugelkultur bed in a small space, like 2.5 feet by 4 feet, especially near a fence with limited access, and can you provide instructions for building a boxed version like the one discussed in the last office hours?
58:16 QUESTION: I am a bit behind and working on the Zone 1 design now. My site is very small so I want the whole site to be Zone 1, so I think there will be a lot of overlap between assignment 19 and 21 - is that okay?
58:57 QUESTION:Considering I plan to design my rural property in the future and want to use time effectively to prepare the land for cultivation, would broadcasting a native wildflower mix and sheep fescue over the leach field be advisable, despite limited site knowledge, especially at a 7500 ft elevation
1:00:45 QUESTION: You mentioned a mentorship program through All Points Design, is there any more information on that? I would like to sign up! I did sign up for your newsletter, too.
1:01:30 QUESTION: Composting options for suburban areas?

Oregon State University offers one of the most design focused Permaculture Design Certificates focusing on training Permaculture Designers available today.
Every other week during the PDC PRO students meet with their grader (in this case me) and ask questions about the course, permaculture and regenerative land design.
