Maxine Walker replied to David Braden's discussion 'The API Chronicles' in the group Local Food Security"Have the plans downloaded for the Warre building, have several interested people and want to schedule it end of March. Got a book at the library, Honey Bee Hobbyist and was kind of overwhelmed by the complexity of the methods described for care etc.…"
Maxine Walker replied to David Braden's discussion 'The API Chronicles' in the group Local Food Security"David, I have been mulling over your Chapter 7 post and want to respond to some of your statements. Whether we define permaculture by terms like “complex adaptive systems” and “design science” seems to me to be…"
Maxine Walker replied to David Braden's discussion 'The API Chronicles' in the group Local Food Security"Yes, I was dismayed at the challenge of converting metric. I have put the word out to Transition Snoqulmie Valley members for a Warre beehive building event. One member knows of a woodworking shop whose business has dried up and…"
Maxine Walker replied to David Braden's discussion 'The API Chronicles' in the group Local Food Security"So David, if I can collect 7 people to make their own Warre hives and if the price we pay for lumber is comparable to yours that would lower the price to about $57. right?

I started a petition on change.org as offered by Move-On a couple of months ago and am dismayed at both the lack of response by both my…"

Maxine Walker replied to David Braden's discussion 'The API Chronicles' in the group Local Food Security"Yes David, this is an evolutionary principle that has supported life for millions of years,whether humans, animals or plants - adaptation, however crude in lower species to the ever more sophisticated ability of humans to evaluate and adapt as the…"

Salma Kamal said… - Hi Maxine,
Hope you are doing fine.
I am wondering, have you posted any seeds to me.I am sort of keeping record of all the people who have posted so it would be easier for me to remember from whom I should be expecting the seed gift.
Best wishes.
Salma .
