Last Notes npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions GM nostr, and happy Fourth. Here’s to taking back your freedom and creating community reliance in lieu of government reliance. #freedom #bitcoin #grownostr #plebchain npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Free chicken feed supplement: Azolla #permaculture #grownostr #plebchain npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions GM nostr. Woke up to a brilliant and hopeful video about restoring the water cycle in India. We have the solutions, it just takes brave people to make communities and landscapes healthier. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions We really are in the matrix… I started reading/listening to Thomas Paine’s “Rights of Man” and in the first 15 minutes, he described a world very similar to today. Government overreach, the industrial war complex, government-paid media… we are just stuck in a never ending pattern. Ironically, this book was written after the United States Revolution and French Revolution. The very same government industry our forefathers fought to be free from, is the very government that has evolved under our noses. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions In the summer, I grow a purple sweet potato cover crop with Seminole pumpkin and cucuzza squash mixed in the front yard, it’s so vigorous it seems like it will take over the house if I don’t chop it back. #permaculture #homesteading #plebchain #grownostr npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Gm. Happy president’s day #nostr npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I haven’t tried a whole lot of harder woods. I pretty much have only used it on long, straight branches from mimosa tree, paper mulberry, and moringa. Maybe it wouldn’t do so well on hard woods. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I used to hate mowing my lawn, but I really don’t mind weeding my food forest. One was an exhausting, useless task, one feeds my family. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I didn’t think to time it, but probably 5-10 minutes npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions My work for the morning. Turning trees to chips. #permaculture #permiestr #homestead npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Homesteading + Bitcoin = Freedom npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions If they’re going to tear down natural forest and build developments anyway, they really need to integrate food growing areas instead of useless lawns and ornamental trees. #permaculture #bitcoin #grownostr #permiestr #plebchain npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions KNF opened my eyes to the simplicity of growing nutrient dense food. I really appreciate you sharing some visuals of the bonesauce process! npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I’m thinking about making this into a yard sign on my website. Since my yard is a diverse food forest, I’ll get the gamut of responses from disdain to delight. I think a subtle nod to supporting pollinators might ease the poor perspectives. Thoughts? npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Every home should have chicken companions… or at least every neighborhood. Chickens do this awesome thing where they turn food scraps and other organic materials we call “waste” into delicious eggs and useful compost. We wouldn’t have rising #egg prices if we had better community systems in place. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions “The problem is the solution” - Bill Mollison npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Ah gotcha. Initially I trained them to this kind of nest box, and used ceramic eggs to train them to the location. It took them a little while to lay in the box every time, but they learned eventually npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Apologies for my inability to get my words right, but here’s a short video showing the roll away nest box setup npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Chickens do this miraculous thing where they take food scraps and yard waste and turn it into golden delicious eggs🥚🍳 and compost for the garden. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Backyard flocks need to become more common, and easy for folks to learn to care for. I think a typical family with a small backyard could easily care for a flock of 3 to 4 chickens and feed them yard waste and food scraps, with some added scratch or crumbles. Should be just a few dollars a month in supplemental feed. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Gm #coffeechain. Finally had a proper freeze last night after missing the southern snowpocalypse this week. Walked around barefoot like a good Floridian to check on the food forest, but now my toes are burning as they’re warming up. TMI? npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Vive la revolution npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions One of my favorite Bill Mollison quotes, “If we lose all the universities, we lose nothing. If we lose all the forests, we lose everything.” npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions A little afternoon cafecito to start the weekend. Mandarins are starting to ripen and are sweet like Sunkist. In my opinion, it’s one of the best flavor combinations. #grownostr #coffeechain https://image.nostr.build/7eda0178f0374fcdf2284711e100af8fbe3107bd2066dec4fe62be791dac13c1.jpg npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Same! I also started brushing with sea salt instead of fluoride toothpaste and my teeth and gums never felt better npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Finding amphibians in the strangest places. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions For those of us who want to support native ecosystems… but still want to eat. If we all grew our own food, we could return farmland to natives and do more good. Hopeful thinking… npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions GM nostr, been a while. The rainy season finally started a month and a half late, just in time to water the bananas that are starting to fruit. In spite of the driest start to summer in my memory, the resilient food forest continues to provide daily for my family. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions The only ones I’ve tried are the Xero sandals and I love em. I’ve used them every day for 2 years and they hardly have any wear. I haven’t tried any of the shoes yet. Boat shoes or slip on Vans are the best regular shoe alternative I’ve used. If you find a good one, let me know! npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Very nice! Actually most of them end up getting eaten fresh off the trees by my kids, or shared with friends/neighbors. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Having myself a mid-day #coffeechain to take in the abundance of the #garden. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Honestly not long at all, maybe a week or two, a month at most for cardboard. The chickens tear the paper apart when they scratch, then the microbiology in the coop floor and soil break it down the rest of the way. Small bits of paper and cardboard are great additions to chicken coop bedding since they are high in carbon. Good question! npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Yep, I use them in a different system, but sometimes worms make it into the chicken coop as tasty treats npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Paper plates and paper towels break down over time and incorporate into the compost npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Sweet! Lots of good options there! I dream of a nice north-central FL property, but for now just learning/experimenting on a 1/4 acre npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Chickens are an essential part of the homestead, whether urban or rural. Instead of turning food scraps into stinky fly-breeding trash, they make eggs and compost. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Couldn’t agree more! npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I love this guy’s work. He has made the natural swimming pool/pond so accessible. Anybody make one before? npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Loquat season is here in Florida. This is one of my favorite fruits, sweet and tart, it’s a great snack and easy to grow from seed. The leaves also make a great tea. It pains me that people grow this for an ornamental but never eat the fruit. Luckily it works well in suburban permaculture designs for aesthetics, quick growth, and usefulness. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I love this time of year. Citrus eating season has ended, but the best smelling season has begun. The bees are all over the orange blossoms. I’ve only been to orange country in central Florida a couple times during blossoming season, but the smell is truly intoxicating. It’s too bad the citrus industry is failing, but with natural farming methods and polyculture systems, citrus is thriving in North Florida. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Fresh pineapple straight from the plant is one of the best experiences! They are such an easy plant to grow too. Good luck! npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions How to make bokashi: part 1. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions That’s the general idea. They scratch it around and kick it out keeping the floor level. Usually this stuff ends up in my potting mix or soil blocks npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Thank you sir npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Composting with my chickens is so easy. They turn food, poop, and bedding into excellent compost that gets (mostly) pre-sifted from the coop walls. #grownostr #plebchain #chickstr https://video.nostr.build/2c157ab8970e585ada7227beb3793a7fd00ffb94ff48d7c3f67d06dc3d8cecad.mp4 npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Learning what nutritious plants my chickens enjoy is one of my favorite experiments. What do your chickens like to eat from the garden? npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions This is a perfect example of why I love food forests. I just let the plants do their thing and whatever survives gets used or turns into next year’s seed bank. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Went on a hike today with my kids to observe nature, it’s patterns and beauty. School just will not be able to teach you the lessons nature teaches with abundance. A dad who is curious also helps the lessons come to life (I hope) npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Here is a great example of an investment that increases its value every year. I think we can make #livingfences with willow, mulberry, elderberry, bamboo, bougainvillea… any other ideas? npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions If we lose the universities, we lose nothing. If we lose the forests, we lose everything. - Bill Mollison npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I’m trying something new… there are so many intelligent people sharing amazing innovations and information, it is just a matter of getting eyes and ears to see and hear. Starting with the father of permaculture… npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions It’s a good one! A really good intro to permaculture design npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Here’s to the beginning of a nice Christmas break. Each season has its own beauty, but winter in Florida is citrus season… so we get to enjoy it a little more than most North Americans. There’s nothing better than grabbing a ripe, sun-warmed mandarin right off the tree. Me and my kids have had our fill this season, but we still have so many (courtesy of Korean Natural Farming). Here’s to abundance! npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I’ve actually got a Sony A7 that I use old film Minolta lenses on it. Threw away autofocus altogether but it is my favorite setup I’ve ever had 7 years running. Even shot a wedding like that and it was brilliant. Used to use Canons for sports, and that worked great 10 years ago, not sure how far systems have come since then. Whatever you’re comfortable using to get the shot, that’s all that matters! npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Seriously! Once you go homegrown, you can never go back. Im only supposed to have 5 chickens in city limits… but I have an undisclosed amount more to keep up with production… npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Yep, couldn’t agree more. There are so many arguments to their mindset, but none matter to them unless it’s matched with dollar signs. Simply a low-growing native flower patch that is allowed to reseed itself would be far more efficient and significantly less maintenance (if any at all), and it would benefit the local ecology. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Everywhere I see an unused patch of grass, typically beside the road, I design the potential gardens in my mind. In my experience, a well designed garden takes less maintenance/energy than mowing grass, but municipalities insist on grass… I don’t get it… npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I’m not sure if this applies universally, but I have significantly fewer big stains on my car than 20 years ago. I used to use specialized scrubbing mitts when washing and now I just use a sponge… the loss of our insect diversity is going to be a major downfall for future generations, not just for pollination, but as feed for wild animals and birds and to nurture the natural food web. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions The ancient Egyptians probably utilized this advanced technology too… npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions GM #nostr npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Simplicity, peace, and freedom are goals worth attaining. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Simple solutions are almost always are more efficient, but they don’t make money or taxes… npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Cassava is such an amazing plant. 8 months of growth… 26 pounds of roots, about 18,000 calories… in one plant. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Couldn’t agree more! Sunrise and sunset are the best times of day npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I found this example of a food forest through time. Nothing will happen if you never start. Those who do start get better dividends than any financial system. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Not sure about the 8.6 mph figure… but I sure don’t have the agility of a chicken, nor the flee response npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions My garden is a garden of peace… #grownostr #permiestr #gardenstr https://image.nostr.build/3dcd35c01267a84ecfddfda63d423ea7a93324b3ddf00c2949e84ff0d8487f91.jpg npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions They could still have half eaten greens and sweet potatoes, but still jump me every time I bring food. #permiestr #chickstr https://image.nostr.build/e4406961c3c242999afeaf1a911977ccb42c4d3667e50be8706d0a144b8a764d.jpg npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions GM #nostr with a bit of tropical rain in the food forest. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions A little over a month in experimenting with electroculture and… I see no differences at all. I placed some copper rods or antennae next to some plants and retained control plants, and I see no appreciable differences. Here is a link to a video showing some of my turmeric plants in comparison. Anyone else trying #electroculture and seeing positive results? npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions GM #nostr from one of my resident frogs. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Prime fig picking weather for the 4th.

I’ve seen mimosa trees all the way up into Ohio though. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Ah, well not sure what part of the world you are in, but they are considered an invasive species here on the east coast US. They line the highways because they are a nitrogen fixing tree emergent species. Frilly leaves and Pom Pom flowers. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I already loved my mimosa trees for their beauty and versatility, so when I found a chocolate mimosa tree, I absolutely had to have it in the food forest. Anyone else heard of a chocolate mimosa tree before? npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions GM nostr. After a wonderful introduction to the rainy season yestereve, the garden is shimmering in the misty morning light. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Anyone else had kale root suckers grow? I’ve never seen this before and I’m flabbergasted! npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Anyone here dabbled in Electroculture? I held off for some time because it seemed like hype and a fad, and I didn’t think adding lightning rods seemed like a good idea for North Florida. But I saw Deep South Homestead put out a video that actually made a convincing case. I had some leftover wire from a home project, so I thought I’d make some antenna and give it a try. I tried to pick the plants that looked the worst to see if there was appreciable changes. Over the weeks, we shall see… npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions The cuts were too clean for an animal. No bite marks or anything, just straight shears npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Ah bummer. I hope it doesn’t come to that. Usually I’m pretty free to give fruit away to the neighbor kids that ask and give them a mini permaculture lesson as a fee. I guess the risk of creating a beautiful property is people want some of it for their own! npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions It would be preferred! npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I have one prickly pear, but after getting too many thorns and spiky things stuck in my feet, I’m altogether done with pokey plants. They sure are a deterrent! But I’d rather not be deterred by my own property lol npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions GM nostr. Apparently my neighbors appreciate my flowers enough to cut them off for themselves. All they did was ruin the fun for everyone since the flowers don’t survive after they are cut… npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Good idea for the roof! A surface coating of some nature will probably be in the future for the next iteration. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions The next iteration definitely will. This one isn’t quite tall enough. 5’ at the peak. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I couldn’t justify the cost of a proper greenhouse, and couldn’t bring myself to waste money on a flimsy one, but I was tired of using my inadequate carport for plant starts. So with a little creativity and about $10, found pallets, and scrap wood, I built a quick test greenhouse in about an hour. It’s primary purpose will be for soil blocks since they cannot get rained on. If this “works”, I’ll spend a little more time on a proper one that my wife can enjoy instead of being repulsed by one of my creations. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions What varieties do you grow up there? npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Bummer! Usually if you trim them up while they are dormant they come back with a vengeance. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions First figs coming in! One of my favorite times of year! #grownostr #puravida #plebchain https://nostr.build/i/b6131907f8d9443a89ec9ae27839ccbbe777f9de426ebfe8a0edd4cd5f9cf4fc.jpg npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Yep, those can be freaky. Had a “weak” one hit my house a couple years back on Christmas Eve. Lost most of my trees and some kids toys, but at least we were safe and the house intact. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions GM #nostr. Woke up to a nice little lightning show out the backyard this morning. Grab my #coffeechain and sit and watch. #puravida #grownostr https://nostr.build/av/2da0f011aec09fc194f431edadea120d49cb6d1d594894f534b4d95ff5f180d6.mov npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Oofta… quite the list, but in this frame you can see persimmons, fig, pears, maple (for the climbing yams), peach, mulberry, various veggies and root crops and herbs. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions GM #nostr. A fine #coffeechain day to you from the front yard food forest. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I made a little more in-depth video on the rainwater harvesting pond explaining its origins, it’s progressions, it’s benefits, and the life that is taking residence. I feel like I’m becoming a pond guy. It’s such a lovely place to hang out and watch life. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions It’s a bummer that there are regulations for animals that help families and harm no one, but make allowances for dogs that bark at all hours (no hate on dogs, just making a point). npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Agreed. Much better definition is the regulatory system npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions From a micro level, probably incompetence. From a macro level, probably malicious… npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions Here is an update on the cassava propagation progress. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions I was in conversation yesterday evening regarding dogs and their weird presents they bring from yards, and it came up that my friends neighbor was using rat poison and it was killing the squirrels. It got me thinking about the injustice of our legal system. We are perfectly allowed to set out poisons for rodents, weeds, and insects leading to dreadful effects and deaths far beyond our original intent (In short, we are allowed to kill the local wildlife to keep our homes sanitized). But… we are not “allowed” to raise meat ethically, humanely, and safely for consumption within city limits. No… that kind of death is gross and cannot be tolerated. npub1n8hkue6cmhwx3m9mdnhgyv6v0q4k5cjy7pxv3ta43vlsx80wkllqv2zvew permiesolutions #zapathon
