Cosmos Permaculture Garden　コスモス・パーマカルチャー・ガーデン

Oct. 16-23 helped Phil Cashman and Yoshiro Benjamin Iida with the construction of Cosmos Permaculture Garden in Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture. Construction was concentrated on plastering the earth bag wall and installing the world's first washlet composting toilet. We also made polished clay balls with local soil and bake bread in Phil's oven using wheat we grew in Fujisawa with a sourdough starter dating back to the California gold rush.
