His home also functions as a testing ground for various permaculture methods and ideas, including vegetable growing, rainwater harvesting, stream water abstraction and filtration, drone mapping, fruit tree grafting for nursery establishment, grafting to mature trees, plant propagation from cuttings, seed saving, hot composting, solar PV generation, pig & chicken tractor systems, natural building, forest garden guilds, and sheet mulching. Paul has completed two Permaculture Design Certificates (PDCs), one in 2010 in Devon and the other in 2015 in Ireland. In 2019, he undertook a permaculture teacher training course (TPT), followed by a "Train the Trainer" course in 2021, which is a State-certified teaching qualification. He teaches in-person introduction to permaculture courses as well as specialist courses on design, orchard care, and hot composting, among other subjects. Paul is on the Certified Teachers Register of the UK Permaculture Association and is available to guest teach on PDCs both in Ireland and internationally.
