Surely mullein is preferred, but is it the only acceptable option? Do I need to buy some kind of fancy- ss organic toilet paper? Does antville get cell reception? Known providers? How far away is the nearest free? Chad Sentman wrote: I'm assuming the property is generally not very wheel-chair friendly. Paul wrote: the nearest source of drinking water? Has it been tested informally or formally? Do you or any other folks on the lab or basecamp drink it?
With or without filtering? What do you mean exactly by "goes underground"? Does it emerge from underground, or leave underground, or is it underground the whole way? How is it accessed?
I'm flying into Spokane late on April 6th. Assuming I can find or hitch a ride into Missoula relatively soon after arriving, I can be there as early as April 7th.
Looking forward to setting up camp and getting started. Even when all of the nearby creeks and rivers are flooding, there is no water on the lab. I'm pretty sure it has not been tested. And I don't know if people have been using that water. It is a creek that is uphill of the lab on forest service property so, free to access by anyone. And then the creek goes underground before getting to the lab - and is never seen again. If you were coming to missoula we could give you a ride from the airport.
You could take the bus here from spokane. Wyatt Brush wrote: Mr. Wheaton, don't be discouraged if you don't get very many Ants this year. Your plan is a good one, and should be continued, even if the sign-up rate is dismal. There is no telling how many people are intrigued by the opportunity, and are imagining how they could do it, if they signed up.
I am such a one. My family and I's current situation we feel gives us slightly more advantages, and we would have to give it up, to sign up for your Ant Village. Your Ant Village Challenge really captures my imagination, and I would like to think that it might be available again in future years.
I imagine that even if you don't fill all of your slots this year, you will probably be turning people away next year, especially if the adventures of one or more of this year's Ants grabs a lot of attention! You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Forum: wheaton laboratories. I like Optional 'thank-you' note:.
The mission of ant village from my perspective: I wish to build the future of permaculture. My first thought is "entice the best people in permaculture to come here. They will influence each other and, in time, what they do will be better and better. And rather than starting over, they would rather add to what they have already built.
My second thought is "then I will grow my own experts from scratch! But permaculture is about patience. People that are bonkers about permaculture could come and start to create their own patch of permaculture paradise. As the years pass, they have more and more skills. Maybe some will become natural builders, maybe some will grow the most amazing gardens, maybe some will set a new bar for animal care.
And, of course, some will demonstrate a path of simplicity and peace. It is impossible to predict what will come of this project , but one can be certain that you will get nothing if you try nothing.
I bought the land. I have tried hundreds of things, with the help of hundreds of people, systems have been dreamt up and polished. The ant village project runs in the red, but I do think this path will be the foundation for the future of permaculture and maybe, someday, a template for hundreds of other property owners when they choose replace petroleum and chem-ag systems with permacutlure. The mission of ant village from the perspective of a potential ant: Start with an acre of raw land.
Build a fence , plant a garden, build a crappy shelter. Use your new skills to build a better shelter next year. In time, have a nice shelter, a magnificent garden. You have food and shelter. Optimize your permaculture systems. In time, can you feed more people? Do you have permaculture-based income streams? Is your plot so complete that there gets to be a point in time that six months have passed and you have not left ant village? What have you learned about yourself?
What skills have you built? Do you want to teach? A propane generator will be periodically allowed during the first year. No gas generators. It is assumed that most ants will set up a small solar array for some electric needs. No more than watts of panels per ant is allowed.
Jocelyn Campbell. Once all twelve spots are taken, I will edit this post to reflect that there are no spots left. Since we have never travelled this path before, I don't know if all these spots will be gone in a hour, gone in a week or a month But I guess I won't know until Tom Kozak. Lynne Smith.

If only they would invent roads. I'm glad it didn't work. This way I answer the questions just once. The soil on the lab is deep. Very deep. In a few spots we dug holes about 30 feet deep and still didn't hit bottom. I am wondering if you would allow a underground house? That would be fine! Are the spots taken up yet? Zero spots are taken so far. So 12 are still available. Is a dog allowed? Tim and Kristie have several dogs.
I think that it is good to keep in mind the rule of any farm: if a dog kills farm animals, then the dog has to go. Dogs that threaten me or other people that are supposed to be there - gotta go. Barking dogs are a borderline case. LGDs will bark - it's part of their job.
Dogs that chase livestock are not allowed. So, yes, dogs are allowed. But the goal is to have a working farm with people. And some dogs don't fit - so those dogs won't be allowed. Simon Johnson. Dang, if I lived in the states I would be all over this. Sounds like a really sweet deal for those lucky folks who sign up. Evan asks: How wooded is the land?
The soil is very deep - which is one of the things I spent so much time shopping for when I was looking for land. I think the growth on the lab is much lusher than a lot of the land around here. Here are some pictures that are, I'm pretty sure, from near the spot: These pictures were taken when Jocelyn first looked at the lab. Probably May of This is pretty close to the northern end of ant village.
This is at "the clay pit" which would be on the southern end of ant village: Ant village will be about yards to the east of wofati 0. All of the podcasts were once free.
