Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institutenew link — The LA Eco-Village, an intentional community in the heart of Los Angeles, encompasses a two-block area of older apartment buildings (see “Design for Life,” January/February 2003). Recently, Eco-Villager Lois Arkin asked for Natural Home’s input on the eco-rehab of a building that Eco-Village recently purchased. Bimini Terrace is a two-story, eighty-year-old, eight-unit Mediterranean Revival building. It has a wood-frame structure, flat parapet roof, and stucco exterior finish. The building faces east, with a lawn in front and detached garages in back. The south side faces a wide, sunny alley, and the north side is close to an adjacent apartment building.

Composting:  new link — Drawn together by their mutual questioning of architecture’s conventional party line and their search for holistic living alternatives, architects Ken Haggard and Polly Cooper have been designing passive solar buildings on California’s central coast for decades. In the late 1970s, the couple recycled buildings to create a home and office complex on an old trout farm just north of San Luis Obispo, where they broadened their practice to include sustainability issues such as the life-cycle impact of materials and the use of small buildings, healthy building materials, and permaculture. But when a wildfire plowed through Los Padres National Forest in 1994, burning 40,000 acres and leveling the complex, Ken and Polly were able to take a good hard look at their own lifestyle. 
Composting for small farms:  Garden guides often describe composting as "nature’s way" of recycling. Not so — you just don’t ever find large amounts of organic matter with the correct carbon-nitrogen ratio, water content and aeration carefully piled up by bears or gorillas working away in the forests with a compost fork and a watering-can, leaving it cooking away at high temperatures and emitting jets of steam. Nature doesn’t make compost. Nature mulches

Naturewise Permaculture and Forest Gardens:  It is great to live in a natural home, and it is wonderful to see more and more of them. But what about the context of these natural homes? Are they also located in natural communities or natural neighborhoods? Very few are, I expect. Many of us have a dream of living in a sustainable, healthy community—a “natural community.” What can we do to make the dream a reality?
