One of the  most rewarding events outside of family was working at NAI. I meet some incredible mentors and visionaries. Having already built several commercial and residential Geodesic domes and a wind generator or two I was esthetic to have the opportunity to work at NAI in the 70s. Among those who were Staff I was enlightened at a visit to the home Home of Earle and Hilde.  They were living in a permaculture oasis at their Cape Cod home. They were practicing what the believed in.  

Recently I had the privilege to help Earle put the NAI journals on PDF.   

With permission I have included a few condensed PDF documents that are relevant to our Communities common interests.

Attached are the PDFs  If you want an uncompressed version. Email me and I will email it to you directly. They are Large. 

You can find what is online and published at the link below.

So you may ask what is so important about research done 40 years ago in Cape Cod.  Well it continues in many different forms. Take a look at what I have attached and see if it sparks you imagination. 

I have recently written to Earle about the system they have running now and some questions I have about a non-filtration design.

I will keep you posted.

I asked Earle Barnhart about his thoughts on Open Aquaponics systems. He sent me this as a reply. There is some real good information to get your creative juices going.
