[Scpg] Permaculture News on Workshop March 17 Sunday in Santa Barbara CA

[scpg-admin at arashi.com]

Dear Permaculture colleagues,

Sunday, March 17 will be upon us soon.  Some of you who have requested that 
I save you a place for the all-day Larry Santoyo workshop, "Home Ecosystem: 
The Artistry of Ecology," have already sent your checks, so your place is 
guaranteed.  Others need to send the check for $55 asap to assure your 
reservation.  This is the first of a series of three workshops.  The other 
two are Sunday, April 21 and Sunday, May 19.

By the time that we meet, I also hope to have some "inside information" on 
how to get good-size stones for free.  This brings down the cost of the 
hardscape quite a bit.  And as you know, the transfer station in Santa 
Barbara will deliver a ton of mulch for $7.50 to your home in our area. If 
you work for the county, as I do, it is free. I used 3.5 tons of the coarse 
mulch to cover 4 to 6 inched deep the cardboard I put down in my front and 
back yards.  Since the last workshop I got another 1.5 tons of 
well-composted mulch, very fine, almost dirt texture, delivered from the 
transfer station´s recycle leader Richard Placencia´s "secret stash." 
Anyone wanting to contact Richard about getting some mulch delivered can 
call him at (805) 681-4346 or e-mail him at 
<mailto:rplacen at co.santa-barbara.ca.us>rplacen at co.santa-barbara<mailto:rplacen at co.santa-barbara.ca.us>.ca.us 
. His office is at the transfer station (aka the dump).  The coarse mulch 
pile is across the street from the dump, down a dirt road and anyone can go 
by and fill up on their own too.  No permission needed.

I hope to see you at the workshop.  Any questions, call me at (805) 
963-2878.  Send checks to Elizabeth (Betsy) Gallery, 1125 East Ortega 
Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93103.
