Simple image.
I'm really interested to know what you see when you look at it.
Yes, I am talking to you.
Please and thank you.

I won't reply until you adopt #permies 🙃
Haha. But why though?
Typing out permaculture everytime is tiresome
I write all my nostr posts in my notes app where I have a "nostr template" with all my hashtags already filled in
Then I just do a quick edit to make sure the tags are relevant. Then copy and paste.
Makes things a lot easier as the text editor in Amethyst sucks.
Good idea. I use my phone most of the time. May try that.
Going for a heugelkultur bed?
A pile of wood from clearing the area a bit. I'm starting to develop quite a few of these piles and need to sort out uses.
Bitcoin, Nostr, and Permaculture are like the trifecta for me.🤌
Instant follows for elevated interests.
I've been stocking up just for this 🤙
Need a lot more compost though
Firewood/bonfire
I see:
Firewood
Wood for lathe turning
Hugel wood
Borders for pathways
Scaffolding for garden trellises
Habitat for lizards and snakes
Mulch if chipped
Biochar stock
I'm sure I can come up with more
I installed a wood stove in the house two winters ago and use homemade barrel stoves to heat my greenhouses, so all I see everywhere I look now is firewood. I mean, I think that's a photo of some old logs, but for all I know it could be a picture of a duck and my unhealthy obsession with firewood has me hallucinating... 😉
Haha. Thanks for the reply.
Do you have any pictures of your stoves?
First one is one of the barrel stoves right after I finished it. The first fire in it took care of that pretty green paint and it's got a nice rusty patina now.
Second pic is the stove in the house. It's got a soapstone liner inside, so it takes a while to heat up, but stays warm forever once it does. I would have liked a larger stove, but that spot is pretty much the only place in the kitchen that we had room for it (and it's exactly in the center of the house that way) and there's only so much room to work with there. We're in Texas, so the heating requirements usually aren't too heavy, anyway. Will probably install a second one in the living room someday.
Thanks for sharing
Great question! So important to recognize how we think about our environment - as resources, sources of beauty, dangers, etc etc. I saw another answer which influenced mine, but I see habitat and firewood...and a mountain biking obstacle, haha.
Thank you
I see a resource. Could be used for hugel culture, looks a bit too punky for firewood.
Some of it is punky for sure. Would I just cover it in soil for a hugel mound?
Heugel is a thing of itself, and some of its proponents get a bit long in the tooth about it. So short answer, just covering it in soil would not make a heugel mound.
However, it would make a really really amazing place to grow stuff! I have covered several wood piles and made gardens. The bug life is amazing! So many worms, so much other stuff, so much fungus.
Just make sure you don’t try to make a swale berm with wood. Wood floats. Then, your heugel turns into a raft and floats downhill and causes trouble. No joke! Heugel was originally a way to fill bogs and deal with Germany’s relatively bad soil, so it excels at making low areas high and high areas higher but more fertile.
Aaah Crap, I hit send and then realized I implied the punchline but didn’t come out and say it.
The wood holds a lot of water, and it holds it aerobically which is what you want.
So by all means, use it to hold moisture. However, don’t try to use woodwork to divert water or catch flowing water etc.
