Bill Mollison Passes May 4, 1928 - Sept.24, 2016 Many of you have likely heard by now but if not, we wanted to be sure that you knew of Bill's passing.   As the originator of the word 'permaculture' and the co-founder of this amazing body of work he has earned a place in many people's hearts. Certainly, life on this planet thanks him.   Pictured is Bill holding the young child of a person taking a PDC Course from  him 20 years ago. We had the pleasure of having this same child take one of our PDC courses as a young woman recently.    It is up to future generations, to carry on the work that Bill and David Holmgren gifted to the world. It is our life's work to carry permaculture as far into the culture as we are able. Many of your are doing this as well.    We will never be able to express our  full gratitude to Bill for bringing this body of work into the world and into our own lives.   Thank you Mr. Mollison. May your next adventure be as memorable.   Bill and Becky Wilson Midwest Permaculture

Welcome in Fall

I know we just started fall but with fall comes what are we going to plant next spring. Once again I will offer to organize a tree seedling group buy through the Missouri Department of Conservation. Ordering officially starts on Nov 1st. We got an early start last year but still not soon enough to get some of the varieties many of us wanted. So this year the deadline to get your order to me will be Nov 14th, 2016. The sooner we place the order the better our chances of getting those varieties that we want. There may be a chance to make a later order around December 1st. If I can arrange to do that those orders will not have access to all varieties as the good ones may be all reserved by then. I will verify a December order later when the 2016-2017 catalog order form is released. Funds for you order would be due to me by mid-December and the seedlings will arrive in late March early April.

We have put a lot of trees in the ground by doing this the last couple of years. Conservation orders generally require you to purchase in lot sizes of 25. Most of us do not always want 25 of any one species. This way as a group we generally can order just the number of seedlings we want. Below is the link to the 2015-2016 catalog. So you can at least start browsing and thinking about what you might want to order. I would think that the 2016-2017 catalog will have many of the trees listed. Some may not be available and there may be a few new ones. As soon as the new catalog is available I will post it here.

With apologies for being so late getting this to the KPC list:

Saturday, October 8

5pm — Potluck dinner
5:45 — Basic barn dance instruction
6:30 — Contras, squares, and maybe some fun surprises
9:30 — Jamming, visiting by the fire, maybe more dancing, whatever works out. Bring instruments, warm clothes, a late night snack, beverages, marshmallows… (or nothing at all).

Music by YELLVILLE! This new band features three very fine and motivational fiddlers (Tricia Spencer, Howard Rains and Betse Ellis) who will also be passing the guitar around. Banjo by Clarke Wyatt and bass by JJ Hanson. Whether you're inclined to dance or not, don't miss this band!

Calling by Jerome Grisanti, sound by David Barnhill.

We are expecting lovely, clear weather for the event. The temperature, however, will fall rapidly after sundown. We will keep everyone comfy with a fire inside and outside (as well as opportunities to dance!), but we need to keep the musicians and their instruments as warm and happy as possible.

So, we are starting the dance one hour earlier. Potluck at 5pm, beginners lesson at 5:45, dance at 6:30. We are expecting a number of musicians to bring instruments and jam after the dance, and we can move the jam inside near the wood stove if necessary. We will try to have some hot cider on hand, feel free to bring other warming treats as well.

For the dance, no partner or experience needed. New dancers should be on the dance floor promptly at 5:45 to learn the basic barn dance moves. Suggested donation $6-10 (goes to the band, caller and sound guy… thank you for helping to make these events possible).

For directions, please follow the “Directions” link on www.brushyrun.farm. This is a semi-outdoor venue, so dress accordingly (we suggest light layers). There is no alternate date for this dance — in the case of unsuitable weather it will be canceled. Always check the web site before traveling

Updated information.

from the MDC 2016-2017 catalog:

The nursery had a major flooding event on Dec. 28, 2015. This event resulted in the loss of several varieties of seed, which means there are fewer seedlings available for this sale season. There will be a handful of species that will only be offered on the internet due to limited quantities.

Early Order being placed on Monday evening. If you want to be part of this group order I need your requests by Sunday evening Nov 13.

[John Lee]

Hey Bill, we are ordering something in the range of 560 plants this week from MDC.  Would it be better for us to just place our own order, in terms of shipping?  How much are you planning to order, or better question how large is the aggregate total of plants with everyone else's orders and yours?  

I'm thinking if y'all's order is significantly smaller, we should either order separate from your shipment or perhaps some folks can latch onto our order.  The catalog says they (charge to) ship orders by the 100, so we have room for 40 plants on our order.

Is the 14th cut-off your personal timeline or the MDCs??  We were planning to order on Wednesday.

Bill, we are in Lawrence, Kansas.  I actually forgot to mention that there were no dimensions, approximate or otherwise, given for each flat of 100 plants, but at $10 shipping for every 100 plants, I think it may be worth it to just have them go ahead and ship it to our farm rather than trying to pick up from a friend's MO location.  If MDC drops plants on the highway, I reckon they'll replace them.  If we drop them, we're probably out of luck.  Also, with gas in the old truck we have (hauling a trailer), we wouldn't save a terrible lot by picking up ourselves.

Unless the trees are tiny, we'll have our order shipped to Lawrence.  Thanks for the offer though, Bill!  If anyone near (or further west than) Lawrence wants to throw 40 or less plants on our order, they're welcome to get ahold of me and set that up.  We can get more than that 40 number, but would have another $10 shipping charge tagged on, which is fine and we can work out.

Thanks again Bill and sorry for the confusion.

As requested the order as it now stands, see pdf attachment.

If you are still interested please send me an email at ( green...@comcast.net) I would like to send this off Wednesday morning.

This order is looking for someone who might be interested in 7 Pecans.

Any additional orders will need to, as a group, equal either 10 or 25 per seedling. I can pick up a few extras if they fit in my design.

Early Order being placed on Monday evening. If you want to be part of this group order I need your requests by Sunday evening Nov 13.

Greetings

With fall comes what are we going to plant next spring. Once again I will offer to organize a tree seedling group buy through the Missouri Department of Conservation. Ordering officially via their website has already began. There are a lot of great seedlings to order and at this price it is worth it to buy extras. The deadline to get your order to me will be Nov 20th, 2017. The sooner we place the order the better our chances of getting those varieties that we want. As we need to buy in lot sizes I will not be able to place single orders as they arrive unless in lot sizes of 25. The last chance to amend the order will be around around December 15th. The varieties everyone will want will go first so if there is a specific tree species you want order early. Funds for you order would be due to me by the end of December and the seedlings will arrive in late March early April.

We have put a lot of trees in the ground by doing this the last few of years. Conservation orders generally require you to purchase in lot sizes of 25. Most of us do not always want 25 of any one species. This way as a group we generally can order just the number of seedlings we want. Below is the link to the 2017-2018 catalog. So you can at least start browsing and thinking about what you might want to order.

or try this way to browse

https://mdc6.mdc.mo.gov/Applications/TreeSeedling/

Your order will have a MO Sales Tax (about 6%) a MO Shipping Fee (about $0.02 per seedling) and this year the KPI Board of Directors will allow me to collect a handling fee for my efforts and distribution cost once the seedlings arrive (10%).

If you are interested send me an email with your contact information. I will start a list and make sure you get the latest updates.
