Garden Journal 2014 Addition

My recent interview on the Garden Journal reminded me of another conversation we had back in 2014.  Although we touched on many of the same subjects, it’s interesting to see how concepts evolve over time.  For example, I push the idea of using Growstone as a wick material in this interview, but today my favorite wicking material is scoria.  Please contact me for more information.

Biophilia? I feel ya

 

The word “hydrophilic” has bounced around since 1901. Hybridized from the Greek roots for water (hydro) and love (philos), it means, “Possessing an affinity for water.” Regular readers of this column may recall references to hydrophilic soils, plants, and water-harvesting techniques. But please don’t worry if you’re new to this. You don’t have to be a permaculture practitioner or an etymologist to understand this month’s topic, biophilic design.
