Winter on it's way

Also, John and I built this wood feeder for the heater in the greenhouse:

It is working well and means the fire will burn for several hours without us having to check on it (as long as the pieces of wood are nice and long!).

The mushrooms are loving the wet March and bits of rain in Autumn. Here is a dense flush on the dam wall:

Another helper made a video of Dylan's answers to some general permaculture questions:
