- continuous improvement + stacking functions illustrated by a wood stove is the first episode of the new appleturnover series, the journal of small work*
subscribe to @appleturnover.tv to get the next episode of the journal of small work* and short tips drawn from all the films.
learn all sorts of ways to use your wood stove more effectively by stacking functions.
how can we live well within the limits of our living systems? This new series is a response to overwhelming urgency. In the face of the daunting prospect of transforming how we live, let's start where we are, with what we've got, and build from there.
this first journal pairs the useful, comforting framework of continuous improvement (kaizen) with the principles of multiple and stacking functions (permaculture), redesigning our systems to meet several needs at once.
the wood stove illustrates how these frameworks can help us adapt to rapid change without losing our balance. We can apply these patterns all over.
what continuous, incremental action are you already taking towards living regeneratively?
what stacking and multiple functions will you add next?
wet us know in the comments. Your small work inspires us all to action.

There is something about you, the way you capture your vlogs with such passion and your mannerisms in which I have this deep longing to want to experience and be apart of the serenity that you behold.
lucy, how deeply encouraging. i’m all glowing. you might like the very small work, the new radio companions to these works, over on www.patreon.com/appleturnover. i’m just finishing the second tiny episode for sunday morning. then i’ll turn my attention to the fourth film in this series!
My wife is from Mexico and is comfortable at about 80 degrees. Our heating bill was higher than housing cost in the winter. We switched to a wood stove and love it. I have a 3 acre permaculture property where I can cut fire wood but an elderly man insisted on selling me a dump truck load of split fire wood for $250. After speaking with him and hearing how he was a widower and needed something to do and a little extra income, I started buying from him every year. I have him deliver it during the japanese persimmon harvest so we can give him fruit when he comes by. One other observation a wood stove with a pot of hot coffee make for a great winter day. Thank you for the video.
what a beautiful story! so wonderful. persimmons…maybe this year our tree will fruit!
That wood stove looks so so inviting 🥰
thanks for coming by temecia! i’m cosy beside it right now, before i head out to do the evening chores xx
Lovely
thank you my friend!
Loved it
thank you marie!
Wow. I just watched your broody video and loved your style. I'm excited to look through your videos as a delightful exploration.
oh, thank you josh!
I bought a wood cookstove years ago and hauled it all over the deep South until we finally settled in Western Kentucky. We had it installed in our living room because the house is only 940sq.ft. Yes, a wood cookstove in the living room is really not ideal but it sure does have it's uses. Luckily it is a Lacunza so is not unpleasant to look at.
Really enjoying your videos and subscribed.
it sure does! seemingly endless uses! i’m so glad- great to meet you.
We use our wood stove mostly for warmth, also as a good mental health tool to raise the spirits, and most importantly to dry shoes and clothes! And also to help rise the bread nearby. I’m so grateful for this video with lots of new ideas. Thank you ❤️❤️
it’s true, the hearth is great joy. i never sat gazing at the electric baseboard. i hope the ideas just keep multiplying. and yes! i have some boots to repair that get to sit by the fire!
My family and I live in a rural area. We use our woodstove to heat our home, dry the laundry and cook in poweroutages. I am interested in learning how to cook more using my wood stove 😊
such a reliable companion. you might like my recent shorts- the wood stove toaster was a revelation!
Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these videos! How you make the most out of every little thing is very exciting to me, you truly care and respect for all you have. That is an amazing virtue to possess. Thanks again!
cooper that’s so kind. thanks ever so much!
Your videos always make me smile! Thanks for sharing yet another gem 🙏
oh, i’m so pleased you think so, prim!
Beautiful film with some very useful ideas.
thank you emily!
Very nice, you are really living out the principle behind - ”waste not, want not”. In a sence it is a matter of reinventing the wheel, but, on the other hand - where would we be without the wheel. Thank you for reminding us all of, what it is really all about. Looking forward to see where keeping your ideas in the forefront of my mind will take me, as I’m about to start my new life, as a pensioner, on a small plot of land. God bless.
oh, thank you so much. all the very best for your new life and land, that is tremendously exciting.
Very appealing lifestyle! Do you live near to a village?
yes, fifteen minute bicycle ride to the centre of our main village of the island.
