Interview with Paul Wheaton
With my new found interest in Permaculture (and especially Hugelkultur) I decided to swing for the fences and ask the man himself, Paul Wheaton, a few questions. Paul runs things over at Permies.com and Richsoil.com.
Yes. I cannot think of a situation where the answer would be “no”
Don’t bury cedar or black locust. There may be a few others that are
problematic, but I don’t know yet. I think we have a thread a
permies.com talking about this very topic in a lot more detail.
Permaculture?
That permaculture is a bunch of hippies blowing rainbows out their ass.
people get started?
Hugelkultur is an excellent place to start. Vote with your fork is another.
beginner cast iron collection?
I think if I could have just one piece of cast iron, I would go with a
#10 griswold and a glass lid.
Many thanks to Paul for taking time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions. I recommend signing up for his e-mail

This post was worth it just for that quote!!!! 🙂 Thanks for interviewing Paul.
Yeah, Paul certainly has a way with words!
Ha! Great stuff. I agree with Mil about Paul’s rainbow quote, and I agree with Paul about not burying cedar or black locust. I know some folks consider black locust a weed tree but it’s one of my favorites. Beautiful blossoms, lovely bark, burns very hot, and makes great fence posts as it is very reluctant to rot. What’s not to love?
Black locust seems like a great wood to me too. I don’t come across it that much. I’m much more likely to end up with red or white oak, maple, or dogwood if I’m lucky. thanks for stopping by, I’m glad to find your blog.
