Hi Chris; I would like to build this garden enclosure but with a few additions. Do you think it would be possible to 1) make the center a bit bigger to accommodate a round work table with a bit of storage under it 2) Put a solid roof on the center with 3) a water catchment system for watering the plants. I love what you have done, it is one of the best video series I have seen and I watch a lot of them. 

The wood isn't a nitrogen deficiency, it is a nitrogen bank, eventually the nitrogen absorbed from the soil in addition to the nitrogen in the wood itself will be releases so you will have a net nitrogen gain, released slowly over time.

Cool stuff. Hardly permaculture though. I guess that's the main reason the word is copyright protected and may only be used when certified.

seems like you could double this by not letting the last couple go fallow so long. You can have two chicken pens and and two going a month and two going 2 months. Also, if you get current method, why not seed the 3rd month pens that have lots of open space with some fast growing chicken friendly forage plants to enrich their experience

I suppose one could also use soaked cardboard for the path
