Put Your Questions to the Experts, Round 4a: Geoff Lawton
General, Podcasts — by Craig Mackintosh PRI Editor February 1, 2013
This is the fourth installment in our popular Q&A series. In case you didn’t catch it on previous occasions, we added a new sub-forum titled ‘Put Your Questions to the Experts!‘, where our forum members put their questions to experienced permaculturists we’ll approach over the weeks and months ahead. First up to be the target of our combined curiosities and the salve of our perplexities, is the PRI’s own Geoff Lawton. Geoff, currently teaching at Zaytuna Farm in NSW, Australia, spends 60 minutes with us, sharing from his wealth of experience in permaculture teaching and consulting in dozens of countries worldwide.
Note: In this episode you’ll find the answers to only the first five questions in Round 4. Geoff was called away in the middle, so we’ll attend to the rest of the questions in a subsequent video.

MP3 version please… need to be outside while listening to this rather than staring at talking heads on the computer screen :)

Hi Greg. I’ve had a few people ask about this. So, I’ve just put up a poll to see who prefers what, then I could potentially revisit the format I’m using so far. You can vote here:

There are many websites that easily convert youtube videos into MP3 sound files. This is one I use for listening to vidcasts on the go.

It won’t work for copywritten music, but it’s a great efficient way to get the audio out of youtube and into an mp3 player.

Mountain Lions,
I live in Canada and spent some time living on Vancover Island and they have trouble with Cougars at times coming into the towns. What they use are hounds that bark a LOT. It seems they still are a ‘cat’ and can be scared off by barking. However the down side is it can be hard having a dog around that barks alot!

Hi Matthew. I tried http://www.youtube-mp3.org/ but it didn’t work. After chewing on the video for a few minutes, it told me it doesn’t process audio for videos that are longer than 20 minutes. A pity!
