Compost Tea and Brewer Design

In addition to composting, I have hands-on experience with making compost tea and designing brewers. I understand the delicate science of creating nutrient-rich, microbe-packed compost teas and the intricacies of designing the systems that produce them. This expertise allows me to offer comprehensive solutions that promote healthy soil and plant growth.

Poultry

My journey in sustainable living extends to raising chickens. I've gained valuable experience in poultry husbandry, which includes the management of chickens for their eggs, meat, and contribution to soil fertility. This knowledge allows me to integrate poultry systems into holistic permaculture designs, embracing the concept of function stacking.

Function Stacking and Sustainable Design

In my permaculture designs, I emphasize the concept of function stacking, where each element in a system serves multiple purposes. This means integrating diverse uses for every element, creating efficient, sustainable, and harmonious ecosystems. Whether it's a food forest, an aquaponic system, a compost tea brewer, or a poultry setup, the idea is to maximize the value and functionality of each component, creating systems that thrive with minimal waste.

About Me

I'm Jonathan Burton, your dedicated permaculture design consultant based in Ventura County. My journey in permaculture began with a deep passion for growing, which ignited in Middle School when I started cultivating dragon fruit. This early experience nurtured my fascination with edible plants and set me on a lifelong journey.

Permaculture and Beyond

My passion for growing led me to explore countless edible plants and dive into the world of sustainable living. As a long-term member of the California Rare Fruit Growers association, I've been connected to a community of like-minded enthusiasts who share my passion for rare and exotic fruits.

This journey was further enriched by my extensive experience with diverse composting systems, including standard thermophilic, Aerated Static pile, Black Soldier Fly (BSF), and vermicompost. I've honed the art of converting organic waste into valuable nutrients through these diverse methods, contributing to soil health and reducing waste.
