Permaculture Pond Masterclass from Ben Falk

The Survival Podcast Posted on by  

Expert council member and long time TSP Community Member Ben Falk has launched a pond building masterclass.  Unlike my small back yard ponds based on hard structures this is more of the larger scale pond construction type of thing.  It is also structured and taught from a true Permaculture Perspective. Ben is an amazing teacher, and I got to see his pond building and management skills about 10 years ago when I constructed at a PDC he was teaching at his homestead in Vermont.  I would describe it as inspiring, functional and beautiful.

Instead of using something once and tossing it, what if you could squeeze two, three, or even five productive uses out of it before it ever left your system? That’s what high cycle thinking is all about. It’s the opposite of the modern throwaway mindset, and it builds serious resilience. In this episode, I’ll walk you through real-world homestead examples where this kind of thinking turns waste into abundance, simplifies inputs, and stacks functions like crazy. … Continue reading →
