I can confirm that Bill's current teaching style is very much by
way of relating his experiences rather than describing permaculture
concepts.

Bill's a great speaker, and it's all very entertaining. But in my
opinion it's very difficult for a permaculture novice to extract
anything related to permaculture design from his contemporary
presentations.

But when Bill is on-topic, the depth of the material presented is
astounding. I have already ordered a copy of the DVD because the
amount of information in 47 hours of on-topic Bill must be
absolutely astounding!
