Cob: Cob Swimming Pool & Bathtub??

[Brent Flaco Wilson]

hi.  I am flaco, a fellow coblister!

Help Build a Food Forest!

Flacos Farms, located in Maple Valley, Wa is having a Fall Workshop.
PERMACULTURE
Our focus will be creating a food forest that can sustain the local humans 
and wildlife.  All participants will learn how to apply different methods of 
gardening and learn how to turn waste into fertilizer to grow a food forest. 
  Almost all of the materials we will be utilizing can be found locally on 
the land and from the local community.

Hugelkultures
Sheet Mulch Gardens
Buried Log Gardens
Wildlife Habitat
Polycultures

These are just some of the techniques we are going to explore at Flacos 
Farms Fall Workshop

Flacos Farms is tucked into a small “rural” pocket in an ever-encroaching 
area of urban sprawl.  The farm is located 35 minutes from Seattle and 45 
minutes from Olympia. The land is beautiful and has a mature evergreen 
forest with a salmon stream. There is a wide variety of native plants as 
well as diverse animal communities existing on the farm.

Sunday October 27th noon till 6:00 p.m.  The workshop includes a light 
afternoon snack and a full dinner consisting of food items growing on the 
land. It will be an ideal opportunity for the entire family  to learn 
different gardening techniques while getting your hands earthly!

Suggested cost is Thirty dollars on the day of the workshop and that covers 
food and materials.  RSVP in advance and receive a discounted price of 
twenty-five dollars.
